[quote=Alexander]part of the rules of the forums, when you signed up here, was that you cannot post possibly offensive contents, I'd say this is bordering on it.

now I hate to be mean and such, but I strongly suggest keeping things here a little more serious then this, because otherwise I will be forced to close this thread down.


meaning that middle fingers and such are out.[/quote]

naturally!...who could imagine that then? :verysad:
Alexander
[quote=Veltan]oops, sorry. I promise when I do another riddle it won't be rude. If i'm allowed sad.gif[/quote]

Wonder if Sinder would care to translate..... smile.gif
Alexander
I have a nice morrowind related riddle for the lot, let's see if you can guess it, probably easy biggrin.gif

here goes:

I'm not right in the head if you know what I mean,
my body, well let's just say it's black.
my heart burns with fire
yet my sides are cool as can be
filled with life
and my legs might be most important,
one divine,
one of royalty
and the rest just as healthy as my sides.

what am I?


might be a bit abstract, but I hope that won't stop you from finding the answer to it smile.gif
minque
Just a quick and probably wrong guess....Vivec :ashamed:
Veltan
hmm... I know it's probably wrong, but Numindium?
jonajosa
1) Not right in the head could mean maybe a face mask that looks wierd or maybe a deformed face.
2) Could mean Black clothing or Armor Possibly skin Tone also. But if this is a physiacl feature it could have to do with ashlands.
3) Center of red mountain? Or the heart at the end of the game. MAybe the personality of someone?
4) Again if this is Red mountain the sides of the mountain would be cool because there is no lava there.
5)Very active
6)Uses legs alot. Could give hint to an animal that uses its legs alot.
7-8) Hints to Culture/Religion?
9) What would be this "rest"? Other parts of the body?

I would think eithier Dagoth Ur himself, Red mountain or some animal or creature.
Alexander
nope, so far you're all wrong.

I won't add hints just yet, but I will say think more abstract smile.gif
Oozae
Vvardenfell or Morrowind?
Alexander
you are correct, the answer is Vvardenfell. smile.gif
Oozae
[quote=Alexander]you are correct, the answer is Vvardenfell. smile.gif[/quote]Yes! UberOozae biggrin.gif

I might make a riddle if I feel like it, but probably not. I'll leave it to the experts smile.gif
Pinehead
I once had this riddle I never posted in the official forums. It's very obvious...

I am your ticket to the home of the wizards.
They are mostly served by cats and lizards.
I can help you in doing what you are told.
But you'll need to spare some extra gold.
My services are reserved for all.
As long as they can pay the toll.
My most important possesion lies beneath my feet.
And it is filled with something sweet.
My trade can be found everywhere.
It is my job to take you there.
Who am I?
(Wat een Sinterklaasrijm!)
minque
OK Sinterklaas, (itīs not christmas now you know... biggrin.gif )

Not sooo easy, has it something to do with Moon-sugar?
Veltan
Is it the Elf-Skerring in Sadrith Mora?
minque
ahh maybe thatīs it.....could be though, but the sweet thing whatīs sweet in Elf-Skerring?
Pinehead
[quote=Veltan]Is it the Elf-Skerring in Sadrith Mora?[/quote]
Elf-Skerring is a boat, not a person.
[quote=minque]OK Sinterklaas, (itīs not christmas now you know... )
[/quote]
It's not? Man, I gotta cut down on the skooma then... (Sinterklaas is better than Santa!)
minque
hmmm is it a certain person or just any.....guild-guide (who teleport you in the mage-guild).....not sooo easy though
darkcootie
[quote=minque]hmmm is it a certain person or just any.....guild-guide (who teleport you in the mage-guild).....not sooo easy though[/quote]i tink its that lady who lets you join telvanni house
Pinehead
I want a name. It's a name I want. Elf-Skerring is the closest.
minque
One more guess:

Gals Arethi, boat-driver in Sadrith Mora.... :ashamed:
Pinehead
[quote=minque]One more guess:

Gals Arethi, boat-driver in Sadrith Mora.... :ashamed:[/quote]
Bingo! you got it. That wasn't so hard was it?
minque
well..sort of.....but when you insisted on a name......and the boatīs name wasnīt correct....then I figured it out


biggrin.gif
Pinehead
[quote=minque]well..sort of.....but when you insisted on a name......and the boatīs name wasnīt correct....then I figured it out

minque

Is there really A riddle man? There ar some more fanatic riddlers like, uhh... Perseus, Azura's Star, Cheeselikesubstance only to name a few. Khabalox is more of a poet isn't he?
Sinder Velvin
To solve my riddle
Thou must look at the sun
Then walk on the path
Leading away from the dawn.
To the gateway's north
You must walk forth
To the forest of stone
Houses the color of bone.
Halfway through the place
To the water point your face
Drop down with a splash
But pray, do not be brash
For you must follow the stream
Until the spot where you deem
That by looking in the way
Where the sun falls first
You can honestly say
That within a verst
A certain village lies.
Now, if you are wise
You know the mileage
So you can easily speak
The name of the village
Or messily make a pick.
Pinehead
I'm tempted to say Holomayan, but that isn't a village is it?
DoomedOne
I'm think San Fransisco or Los Angeles
Sinder Velvin
[quote=Pinehead]I'm tempted to say Holomayan, but that isn't a village is it?[/quote]

It's not.

You need hints.

To solve my riddle
Thou must look at the sun
Then walk on the path
Leading away from the dawn.

West.

To the gateway's north
You must walk forth

North of Seyda Neen.
DoomedOne
I got the west part but stupidly I thought you were speaking realistically. Anyway, it's Balmora. You speaked of in the centers there's water, the river, yeah, I know.

Oooooh can I ask one now?

You didn't get it.

While the path might go through Balmora, the village at the end is not Balmora.
Oozae
The gate is Ghostgate, right? So is the answer Ghostgate?
Sinder Velvin
[quote=Oozae]The gate is Ghostgate, right? So is the answer Ghostgate?[/quote]

The gateway is Seyda Neen.
Oozae
Caldera?
Sinder Velvin
[quote=Oozae]Caldera?[/quote]

Not a lot of water near Caldera. tongue.gif
Oozae
[quote=Sinder Velvin][quote=Oozae]Caldera?[/quote]

Not a lot of water near Caldera. tongue.gif[/quote]Oh, I'm a bit confused by it all... Fort Moonmoth?
Sinder Velvin
[quote=Oozae][quote=Sinder Velvin][quote=Oozae]Caldera?[/quote]

Not a lot of water near Caldera. tongue.gif[/quote]Oh, I'm a bit confused by it all... Fort Moonmoth?[/quote]

You don't get to Fort Moonmoth by following the stream.
Oozae

You don't get to Fort Moonmoth by following the stream.[/quote]But it ends at Balmora, right?
DoomedOne
Okay I'm going to do this now:

To solve my riddle
Thou must look at the sun
Then walk on the path
Leading away from the dawn.

Since you start at Seyda Neen, it's obviously seyda neen

To the gateway's north
You must walk forth
To the forest of stone
Houses the color of bone.

Yeah, Balmora

Halfway through the place
To the water point your face
Drop down with a splash
But pray, do not be brash
For you must follow the stream
Until the spot where you deem
That by looking in the way
Where the sun falls first

At first I though this meant follow the river north, but it never said that, in fact, the water goes south west.

You can honestly say
That within a verst
A certain village lies.
Now, if you are wise
You know the mileage
So you can easily speak
The name of the village
Or messily make a pick.

Okay, it's a little vague, but I'm going to say Hla Oad
Pinehead
How about Suran?
Sinder Velvin
[quote=DoomedOne]
Okay, it's a little vague, but I'm going to say Hla Oad[/quote]

That is correct.

[quote=Pinehead]How about Suran?[/quote]

Suran is not to the west.

Where the sun falls first = dusk = west.
DoomedOne
So... can I ask one now?
Oozae

What do you mean? Does it say something or what? Sorry, but I've never done this before..
DoomedOne
Number pattern. See, it's a sequence of numbers, seemingly random 1s, 2s, and 3s. You have to tell me what sequence of numbers comes next.
Sinder Velvin
This is a hard one. Answer it after we're done with DoomedOne's.

In the land of snow and ice
Go north, to the place
Where the waters meet thrice.
The path that you must face
Leads to the lair of the giant
Who is served by goblin kin
Who make him their tyrant.
Don't go that path, friend;
Instead go behind yourself.
Step backwards till the end
Of the shore near the spot
Where a goblin is elf;
Or thus people speak,
But these people aren't meek.
So go to the hall
Where the party is tall.
Then go towards Skyrim fair.
Oh, do not even dare
To go even further
Than the place
Of the natural murder
Of the frozen hare
(We assume that rabbits are men).
What must you do then?
While on the dwarvish contraption
You must make the action
Of going where everything started
Where a body of water
In three ways departed.
Now tell me outlander
But do not speak slander:
What geometrical shape
Did you get when you
Dragged your cape?
