Inspired by *coughstolenfromcough* the official KQ forums, I bring the coolest forum game pre-TSL!
Basically, you have a quatrain that refers to some item/character/whatever, and the first person to guess what it is gets the turn. It's kinda like Adventure Trivia, only just KQ and it has to rhyme and all. :P Anyways, I'll start.
My heart is pure
Of magic I'm made
And if you don't have me
Through poison you'll wade
Note that all of this could be figurative. ;)
I'm thinking either the Magic Mirror or the poison antidote in MoE.
*has never played MoE* XD
And nope. :P
Reminds me of weeping willow.
I hoped someone would guess that, but no poison for her. ;)
The witch in that game was kinda poisonous though... XD
I was also thinking of KQ2 where Graham has to wade through a bunch of poison plants to get to Dracula's castle, but I forget what he gets in there... *wonders if he's on the right track*

You actually
can wade through the poison in MoE, but you'll most likely die after the first few steps. :P
Now let's see...
my heart is pure...
of magic I'm made...
Probably someone, or something from KQVII or IV. :evil:
And you'll obviously need this person or thing or
through poison you'll wade...
...
...
I give. Dang.

You mean the sugar cube the flying horse gives you? <wonders if he's right>
A long shot, but the gauntlet in KQ6? :-\

Well, it certainly keeps you from getting poisoned, but I was thinking more along the lines of "have to wade through posion to get me" not "have to have me to wade through poison safely".
Okay, we can safely rule out: KQ1, KQ3, MoE. :P
Beauty's hair? :-\
Nope, VERY good though.
You were close with the sugar cube. ;)
The ham, ring, or cloak? ;P
Valanice isn't made of magic, though :P
Yeah, so I edited my reply. XD
Though, maybe she is magic. XD
Definitely the ham!! :P It's so magical :P
Maybe it's Heavenly Ham? XD
Quote from: Oldbushie on June 16, 2006, 12:24:14 PM
Maybe it's Heavenly Ham? XD
XD
Sure it is. :P
the genie? :P
Possibly, but the genie wasn't in Dracula's castle... and usually genies aren't pure of heart.
Maybe the winged horse itself is magical? ;P After all, you have to "wade through poison" by evading it while it's still a poisonous snake.
Graham's pure of heart and a genie's soul reflects it's master's. :P
True...
Surely it's the magic fish, the genie, or Valanice. ;)
No. :P
KQ2:RTS or KQ2:RTT? :P
The real one. ;P
*gasp* I think I know! I just not good at rhyming so...I don't want to answer and be correct XD
Aw! Answer it then pass your turn! :P
The protection spell from the fairy? :P
Nope. :P
THe only thing I can think of now is the bird in the cage... XD
Still no. XD
Um, animal, vegetable, or mineral? ;P
That's no fun. :P
Well, it can't be an animal, we've already settled that... XD
But what kind of object has a pure heart? :P
Think. What else means "pure hearted"?
Apparently there's a saying in KQ5 that says such but I can't find it. ;P
*starts looking up the death scenes*
Oldbushie Aeridus Jafo says:
I don't know any synonyms for pure hearted XD
Rosella says:
XD
Rosella says:
Think of a saying maybe. :P
Oldbushie Aeridus Jafo says:
I don't know many sayings :P
Rosella says:
Think KQ5?
Rosella says:
:angel:
Oldbushie Aeridus Jafo says:
hmmmm
Oldbushie Aeridus Jafo says:
*is still lost* XD
That's actually what happened. :P OB also guessed Edgar, the frog prince, the crystal dragon, the yeti, Queen Icebella's heart...
All of which were wrong. ;P
No unicorns from MoE either. XD
EDIT: And fine, it's literal poison. :P
Well, hopefully *someone* will put an end to this misery. XD
Cat, what's your guess? And why does your riddle have to rhyme? ;P
It has to rhyme because it makes it harder. :P
Cat guessed the key under Dracula, but that wasn't right.
Nightmare in KQ6. ;P
What with the poison brew that it likes.
If you didn't tame her, I'd say you'd have LESS poison to get through, actually. :P
No XD
So, it's something you have to get *before* you go wading in poison? ;P
"If you don't have me, through poison you'll wade."
Yes. :P
Then it's obviously a biohazard suit. XD
Or, you know, not. :P
You guys were REALLY close with the sugar cube...
The magic bridle? ;P
FINALLY!!! XD
Yes. :P
My heart is pure -- Its core, its heart, is made of gold.
Of magic I'm made -- If it can transform snakes to horses, it's magical. :P
And if you don't have me, or through poison you'll wade -- THEN you get the sugar cube and don't die when you get to Dracula's castle. :P
Now was it really that hard? :P
What other bridle? o_O
Were there two?
In KQ4, the bridle is more obviously golden. :P
Yeah, but where's the poison there? ;P
And, there was a bridle in KQ7 too. XD
Having the bridle gives you the sugar cube which makes it so you don't have to be all careful and avoid the thorns. :P
I know that, I was just having trouble with the pure heart bit. ;P
Anyway...
Faster than a kangaroo,
I'll expose your underoo! :D
Valanice as a jackalope :P
You win. XD Your turn.
When I think one up, I'll post it, until then, does anyone else care to try?
I think OB should be disqualified. His riddle wasn't a quatrain. :P
I don't think I'll try to make up one this time though. :P
Yeah, but it's a bit difficult to make a quatrain rhyme and still make sense :P
Should be easy
One simple word
Of letters four
It's absurd
but if you don't have it: eaten by a door.
My first is foremost legally... ::)
Yeah, it's love. :P
How DID you get it?!
Luck? XD
Anyway, I'll let someone else take my turn.
*wants to try one* XD
Strictly used for A to B
Not just land, but air and sea
Small enough to never crease
Destination: royal feast!
;D
Magic rock in KQIII?
Nope, and I've never played KQ3. :P
Oh well...thought I'd give it a shot :P
And you should play the VGA version, it's pretty cool :D

Magic Map in KQ6? :P
Yup! XD Your turn. :P
The crease thing kind of gave it away. :P
It knows all on land and see
Yet fooled it can be, quite easily
Pray tell me, of which I speak,
In another game of the one that caused a soporific sleep.
Dr. Cadaver? XD
And that's odd, the crease thing was what made me think it WASN'T the magic map. :P
Nope. :P
The Oracle?...Wait! NO! The 5 Guards on the Isle of the (ARGH! I CAN'T THINK OF IT!!!!!) OH! The 5 guards on the ISle of Wonder.
That's what I think, too.
Yes...but which one (with it's name :P).
Madame Mushka! :D
Tom Trow, the smell gnome... his nose, to be precise.
QuoteTom Trow I am, that's all I'll be
My nose knows all on land and sea
A flower of stench has washed ashore
A flower, 'tis all, and nothing more.
Right :D
Oh, this means it's my turn... gimme a minute or two to come up with something ;)
1..............2............... ;D
Within my bed laid on a bed I sleep
A shiny trinket you needn’t keep
When the pain I cause is gone
You will once again be known.
Is it the Trident from KQ2?
EDIT: Sorry for misspelling the word TRIDENT so many times :P
The oyster pearl? ???
I was thinking that too. :P
I still think it's the trident from KQ2 :P
The trident doesn't cause pain though. At least I don't think it does... :S
It can, if you stick it.... at certain place.... :P 8)

Yep :)
I knew this was too easy...
But
someone assured me it was not ;P
XD
It wasn't too easy, it was just a riddle I was thinking of before to post. ;P
Ok let's see...
I soar through the air with the greatest of ease
I can take you anywhere you please
Protect you I may, hurt you I might
But never without an abundance of light
The winged ones? :P
Nope. :P
The magic map from KQ3? ;P
No. :P As I said before, I haven't played KQ3 yet so don't bother guessing stuff from there! XD
Yeah, but it sounded almost kinda just about right... it's not my fault you haven't played the game :P
Quote from: Storm on June 21, 2006, 01:12:48 PM
Yeah, but it sounded almost kinda just about right... it's not my fault you haven't played the game :P
lol, you use that same excuse in the Identify the Screenshot thread, so I'm using it here. ;P
The winged horse in KQ2?
Shamir? (yes, I know it's far-fetched but it does make some sense)
Close, but no cigar. 8)
Crystal dragon! :D
Nope, but getting warmer. :P
Nightmare? :P (or the other winged horse in KQ7)
Nope.
The dragon in KQ8? :P
But it can't hurt you.
The eagle in KQ5? :-\
If you don't help it, it "hurts" you. :P
Nope. I didn't realize this would be so hard. :P
Let me know if you guys want a hint. There are actually two possible answers I had in mind, but neither have been said yet. 8)
But if we're close with the crystal dragon, I don't think that can be it.
Nightmares/Dreams? I think they flew

You guessed that already, and I said Nope. :P
Quote from: koko_99_2001 on June 21, 2006, 02:49:41 PM
The snake/horse from KQ2?
Already guessed, and no. 8)
I already asked that :P
Shamir's dazzle ball? it flies, it's lit, and it could be used to hurt or protect you (theoretically at least)... But there's only one place it can take you.
Hey, 3 out of 4 ain't that bad :P
LOL! :suffer: Nah, that's not it. :P
The flying carpet from KQII? ???
No... and I don't think the carpet gave an abundance of light either. :P
The Cliffs of Logic? :P
Crispin's magic dust?
HARPIES! :D
None give off light though. :P
...does whether light is hitting it (or emanating from it) make a difference as to whether it protects or hurts?
Mordack's wand?
It fits the hint at least... it could also be Crispin's wand :P
No to all of the above guesses. XD
Let me know when you guys want a hint. ;D
The Storm cloud that Graham turns into when he's versing Mordack? Or is it some bird that Graham can turn into? Hrmm.....
The druids?
No, to both. ;D
The tinder box?
But that can't fly. :-\
Yonkey, does it have wings? ;P
Hmm... :suffer:
Hint? :P
Ok, I'll answer Bushie's question then. One answer to the riddle does have wings, and the other one doesn't. 8)
It's... CEDRIC!!! :idea:
He flies, takes you places with the fairy dust, protects you by dying, hurts you by annoying, and he's afraid of the dark! 4/4!! It's so obvious, I wonder why Bushie hasn't guessed it ages ago ;P
LOL! Hahah no it's not him, but that was pretty funny. XD
Actually, I'm wondering if I should give it to Storm, since her answer did seem to fit the riddle, even though it wasn't correct. ;P
XD
Nah, can we keep guessing? :P
Sure, keep guessing. :P
How about the dragon in KQ1?
Nope. I don't even remember a dragon in KQ1. XD
Um...He's the guy who has the mirror :P
The Crystal Shaft with a beam of Sunlight?
Nope.
The dragon toad? :-\
*has no idea what that is*
Nope ;D
Have you ever played KQ7? :P
12 years ago, yeah. XD
XD
It's something in KQ6....Can I have another hint? :P
Since you asked last time, let's wait for someone else to guess. 8)
It's not Sing-Sing, is it?
But she can't harm you...
Jollo? :-\
Neither of those two.
the wind? ;P
Its the sun's heat that makes the wind be windy and all and if you have the right stuff you can fly with it.. or come crashing down. If your wind, then air is easy to cross since its almost your ;)
:P
lol, nah. XD
Cliffs of Logic? ;P
*remembers, soar, protect, and light in the answers*
Nope. :P
Gosh, it's tough, Neil! XD Another hint? :P
Ok: It's not an animal or an object. 8)
Hmm... glowing people...
Genesta?:-\
Hmmm... I might give you that, if you explain it. XD
Neither of those two fly. :P
You guys really need to think of the words I wrote in the riddle:
I soar through the air with the greatest of ease
I can take you anywhere you please
Protect you I may, hurt you I might
But never without an abundance of light
Okay, Genesta can fly. She can take you wherever you please (home), she helps and protects you, but you have to help her, in turn hurting yourself, In KQ4 it says Genesta glowed. :P
XD Ok I'll accept that. ;D
Basically, I was thinking of the Fairy from KQ2, or Edgar. But Genesta fits better than both I think. Nice job! XD
Your turn! ;D
XD
Thanks. But how does Edgar take you anywhere you please? :P
Though you have not hurt me, yet.
I mean to kill thee,
In my eyes, you can see,
the shinies that sparkle merrily.
I think this will go on for about two posts. :P

How did the fae from KQ2? :P
She didn't literally take you, but without her protection spell, you wouldn't be able to go wherever you pleased, similarly you could get hurt. :P
Well, I did it XD

it the magic carpet from KQ2 or one of the spells from KQ3
Tis the magic carpet.
Deloria, you're supposed to help me figure out hard riddles. Oh wait...I came up with that one on my own XD
Wow, the newbie gets it on his first post! XD

The harp that opens a path in KQ7?
I figure i'd do an easy one first. Please tell that didn't take long to figure out?
Yeah, it was a bit easy. :D But then, I remember a lot of things from the games. ;) Since it wasn't too cryptic I got it.
Here's mine :D :
I may be rather round,
But in me can be found
Something rather shiny
By friends who are so tiny.
The roc's egg? :P
The pot of gold from KQ2?
The haystack? XD
The gold ball from KQIV?
The pouch of diamonds from KQIV that you give to the dwarfs?
Quote from: Rosella on June 25, 2006, 04:24:05 AM
The haystack? XD
You got it! XD
I'm surprised, I thought someone would have figured it out sooner. XD
Rosella? Do you have a riddle?
Oops. XD
Light is my weight
But heavy for my size
I'm not quite a floor
My appearance fools eyes
This riddle is terrible. XD
The tapestry from the catacombs in KQ6? XD
Good guess, but no. XD
ERm.....the Hole in the Wall?
The wooden plank in KQ4?
The fake floor in the catacombs in KQ6? :P
I'm embarrassed to admit there's a pun involved in this riddle. :P All guesses so far aren't right. XD
It's not the magic carpet from KQ2, is it? ???
Nope.
Some type of heavy light that is accually a celing, but not really?... In KQVI, maybe?
Nope. :P
Anyone want a hint? XD
Anything to do with Connor? ;P
He's a lightweight (pushover) but he's heavy with armor... and his name rhymes with floor but he's not a floor...
And at first glance he seems like a decent guy but after all that hack and slash one is proved incredibly wrong. :P
The tinderbox?
XD at OB. XD Not quite, but brilliant. :P
To AAAP, nope.
I have nooooooo clue.
How about a hint? XD
It's from the first half of the KQ series and if it's not a floor, what else could it be? :P
a skylight!!! ;D
The bridge in KQ2.
No to all. :P
The magic carpet in KQ2?
Still no. :P
If it's heavier than it looks, and it's appearance fools eyes... Think! XD
Could you give another hint? :P
What other parts of a building are NOT the floor? XD
Ceiling and wall? :P
Think of which would be more likely to be used in a pun. XD
The roof? :P
I'm new here, but I wanted to try my hand at this.
Is it the trapdoor to the manor's attic in KQ4?
It looks like part of the ceiling and it has a ladder on it; so it's heavier than it looks. ...or the door to the secret passage ???
Nope. Good guess though. 8)
The magic doors in KQ2?
You're thinking much too figuratively. XD Aside from the terrible pun-type-thing, it's rather straight forward. :P
Another hint:
[spoiler]It's an inventory item.[/spoiler]
Alright, I've looked up all the inventory items for the games 1-4, but I don't see anything that fits the description. :-\
Remember, Kels said there was a pun...
Dracula's ruby ring: you find it on the floor beneath the bed and use it to fool the eyes of the ferry man and ghosts. Oh, and it's made of gold and thus is dense: so it's heavier than one would expect from just its size.
The Jar of Lard in KQ3 because it's heavier than it looks... 'cause... 'cause it's fat... you use it in the invisibility spell... and what that has to do with a floor I have no clue.
XD I almost want to give it to you because the first answer was close and the second was hilarious. XD
Not quite, but I might give it to you anyways if no one gets it. :P
Genesta's talisman?
Think of the pun. Neither "talisman" nor "ring" have any syllable in them that sounds like something that's exactly a floor. :P
The brooch? You find it in a rock, it's hidden so its appearance fools eyes...It still has nothing to do with the pun, though.
Nope
Think of things similar to a floor, and keep in mind that Delling's guess was very close.
The board in KQ4? :-\
Ah, then, is it the ring and the cloak or just the cloak... It's the floor part that I've been having trouble, but if it's enough that it's on the floor...
Well, I tried to replay KQ2 quickly and get the cloak to wear it to see if it said anything about being heavy or something when you put it on. I did that ok (no reference to the cloak being particularly heavy... in fact, Graham puts it on with a "flourish"). So, I decided to wander over towards Dracula's and see if the boat were there (which I doubted greatly). I didn't get to find out... as Hagatha caught and boiled me...
It's been forever since I played KQ1, but I think there was a magic ring that turned you invisible... though I think some elf just chucks that at you.
cloh-k ~ floh-r ???
Now I know what it is, but I refuse to guess but am happy to give hints or help. :)
tralalalalalalala aardwolves... :P
Ok, how about a little hint... very small...
I think Rosella already hinted at this, but does it rhyme with floor? (or does it simply have some consonance or assonance with floor)
It's not a floor, think of other parts of the building...Also, no one said it had to be in KQ2.
The Walnut in KQ1 that conceals a golden walnut inside. OH HO It's gotta be this! (I just got the pun! :D) It's a WALL-nut... and it's heavier than it looks because of the gold inside. Its appearance fools eyes because it looks like an ordinary walnut.
I never would have remembered that on my own. I had to resort to GameFAQS. It's too bad I can't replay KQ1. I've played the others so much, and the experience feels incomplete without the original game. Sadly, the only computer we had that could run it was quite old and has died now (memory failure). ... Oh, well, did I get it?
Wow Delling, that's gotta be it! ;D Anyway, I will be taking one more guess, just for fun :P
I keep thinking of hole-in-the-wall, because his apearrance does fool eyes, but I don't recall him being very heavy :P Oh and he isn't quite a floor.
;D
Hey Cat! No telling other people! :P
Bad Cat. ;P
For that matter, bad Deloria. ;P No giving hints when I'm not around! XD
And yep, Delling, it's the "wall"-nut. :P That was my favorite inventory item in KQ1. XD
Hey! I didn't tell her, did I, Deloria? I just gave her hints as she guessed!
She didn't tell me.
I guess I owe you guys a riddle then...
Well, I thought this one up while trying to figure out yours...
A cat within
You cannot see
A cat without
You'll soon be
The porridge in KQ3 after the cat cookie's been crumbled into it.
of course
Yay!
I'm horrible at riddles but:
Use me once
and stay safe
Use me twice
and have a dance
The mechanical nightingale?
Hmm, very close. Almost fits perfectly :)
The flute? The thing you make music on in the underworld? The anthill in KQ5? XD
lol, nope to all of those! :P
The harp in KQ5?
nope nope nope :D
*is happy that it's not completely obvious* :)
Is it the tambourine in KQ5? ???
Good job :) Your turn.
Sorry... I was off trudging through Norse mythology...
A round you wear
To be what you are not
To go somewhere
To get what must be got.
I think I know...but I'll let some other people guess first. :)
The ring from under grandma's bed? :P
nope... but I recognize the logic 8)
It's a tuit! A round tuit! XD You do it to be productive and do what you have to do! :P
The invisibility ring?
Time for my guess...I'm going to guess the crown in KQ4 to turn into a frog to get the fruit.
:D exactly! k, your turn koko
lol, I'll let someone else take it since I had just had a turn :)
Allow me :)
I'm not worth very much, although you'll find me to be of immense value. You can use me to fool someone, but only if you've made the right choice.
The fake genie lamp?
Boy I suck at riddles XD
You got it, Rosella :) Your turn! :P
Quote from: NRGFORCE on July 30, 2006, 01:37:20 PM

Nah... you don't... I thought it was the nightingale or possibly the rabbit's foot (since both have alternate bad options for fooling the guards on the isle of wonders).
Ordinary I seem
And ordinary I am
Until you change me
I'm part of your scam.
XD
Dunno if remakes count but it sounds like the fool's gold coins of KQ2+. :)
Ew, remakes. People can have riddles about them, but I won't. :P
So no. XD Good guess though!
The fake lamp in KQ6? XD
No. XD
The real lamp in KQ6? ;P
Lol. XD Still no. XD
The dress from KQ6?
Interesting, I was thinking about Rosella's peasant dress from KQ4. :P
Nope. :P
Focus on changing it. ;)

What about "change" as in "exchange"? of course, then it could practically be anything. :-\
King Otar as a scarab?
Nope.
The porridge in KQ3 before the cat cookie is added?
From Kelsey (just because I'm logged in and we don't want to log out and back in :P)
"VERY VERY good guess, but nope"
Ok I'll take a wild stab in the dark on this one....
Edgar from KQ4
Fairies aren't normal! :P
Anyone care for a hint? XD
yes, please... unless... could it be the cat in Mannannan's house before you change Mannanan into a cat? :no: probably not ???
Ok, well, how would you change something TOTALLY ordinary, with no special properties to something different?
By magic, of course.
Thus, the jar of fish oil is used in one spell and becomes just an ordinary empty jar, but when used in another spell, it is changed into the brew of storms... I think it's the brew of storms anyways...
The empty jar from KQ3... *isn't sure how that's "part of [my] scam"*
Yes for magic, but no for the jar.
The jar itself isn't anything special, it just holds the magical brew. :P
ok.. the magic carpet in KQ2 that Graham uses to fly to the top of the mountain to obtain the second Key.
Nope. It's not changed and it's definitely not ordinary to start with.
the rose essence in KQ3 ??? I'm not sure if you would consider it to be ordinary in the first place, but it is changed into something considerably less ordinary.
That never even seemed ordinary to me, so no.
Want a "Which half of the series" hint? :P
'kay...*wants to put in a guess but can't think of one*
"0 Members and 0 Guests are viewing this topic." :S
lol I think you stumped us Rosella
Nah. SOMEONE has to outsmart me. :P
And, unlike all of my other riddles, it's in the latter half. :)
the water in KQ7 the salt water... I think the wander says something about your having scammed him when you give him the salt water... or he might just kill you...
But you don't change that in any way.
And shame on you for giving him the salt water! :P
BUT BUT BUT you do change it: "Before you change me, I'm part of your scam." Well, if I have recalled correctly that he implies you've scammed him when you give him the salt water, then the salt water is part of your scam until you change it by performing the ritual at the statue that turns it into fresh water.
I wish I could check what he says, but I don't have KQ7 working anywhere at the moment.

And shame on you for giving him the salt water! :P
LOL! :suffer: I think I tried that too. :P I thought he might go psycho on Valanice. XD
*guesses again anyways*
the silver spoon in KQ7... it's not only a perfectly ordinary spoon but also just what you need for the spell, and it changes after the spell into the silver pellet.
no, you wrote the riddle out like that: I was just paraphrasing because I didn't want to be exact. Though still, you can't really do anything with the salt water until you change it into fresh water... anyway, the punctuation clarifies matters a bit. :P
Quote from: Delling on August 16, 2006, 04:38:40 PM
BUT BUT BUT you do change it: "Before you change me, I'm part of your scam."
Eek. I wrote that VERY unclearly. I'm REALLY sorry. :S It's supposed to read "Ordinary I seem and ordinary I am until you change me. I'm part of your scam." It's ordinary until you do something with it, THEN you can use it. :P
:stars: so, just so I get everything clear in my head, it is a perfectly ordinary item changed by magic into an extraordinary or magical item? To be perfectly clear, what is the nature of the item after the transformation? Or is it purposefully ambiguous (in which case don't tell me: it was only the confusion over what the the adverb clause was modifying that caused this and I wouldn't want to get a hint just because I was confused).
The wall on the side of the Castle of the Crown? It's a perfectly ordinary wall until you paint a door on it at which point it becomes both useful and magical.
It wasn't purposefully ambiguous, but no matter, you're right anyway. :P
I hate to think that the reason it took so long was a poorly written riddle. XD
:wall: I thought that one up a while ago but rejected it repeatedly because it wasn't an inventory item... :wall: ...then, I was like well, what the heck.
I'll post a riddle when I come up with one ;D
k, here we go:
You'll get me where
I should have wings
Use me and get less
Wait and get more
oooooo - another stumper!
I wanna say....
the enchanted chest in KQ1 which you find on the top of the mountain guarded by the giant.
not quite
The Golden Egg from KQ1?
You find it in a bird's nest, and if you use it to pay off the troll/rat you get less points than if you don't use it :)
Wow! someone guessed again ;D
Another good one, but again no...
Hole in the Wall? ???
nope...
The berries at the top of the cliffs of logic in KQVI.
nope
*is happy to have made a harder riddle*
Cassima's necklace?
Although I don't think it goes with use and get less.
nope...
The honeycomb from KQV.
You get it fron the beehive. (Where it should have wings.)
When you squeeze the honey out it gets smaller. (Use me and get less.)
you get a :D XD just 'cause I've been waiting for someone... anyone to guess again...
but no, that's not it... If two people'll ask for a hint, I'll give one.
Both of me ask for a hint.
There's two of you? Is there a mouse in your pocket?
Nah, he's just happy to see you. ;P
Hint please. ;D
K, focus on the second half of the riddle... think about points.
The Golden Egg from KQ1? You get it from the nest (where it should have wings), and if you give it to the troll to go over the bridge you lose points, but if you keep it, you keep the points.

The Golden Egg from KQ1?
You find it in a bird's nest, and if you use it to pay off the troll/rat you get less points than if you don't use it :)
Storm already guessed that... it's close. It's still not quite right: there's an exception in those last two lines I mentioned. It's very specific.
The golden walnut.
It comes from a tree where it should have wings.
And you lose points for using it, same as the egg.
And to answer your question...
"I am a schizophrenic." ;D . . . "But I'm not!" >:(
I see...
no... again... aside from the not quite meeting the first part, it is similarly wrong in the second half...
Was that a reference to me or my post?
In either case, I guess you're right!
The "I see" was directed towards the "I am a schizophrenic." . . . "But I'm not!"
The part about halves was about the guess.
The magic carpet? I'm pretty sure you have two chances to use that. ???
No, there's nothing about using the item twice.
it's been awhile since the last guess... do you guys want another hint?
The teleportation stone in KQ3?
nope... I like this riddle... I made a good one ;D
though it's been a few months... it would be nice to get this over with...
The mint leaves in KQ6.
You get them on the Isle of the Sacred Mountain (where the Winged Ones are.)
Get me where I should have wings
If you take the short path you use them on the genie (fewer points for the short path.)
Use me get less
If you take the long path you don't use them and get more points (you still have them and more inventory at the end.)
Wait and get more.
well, that's the best thinking on this so far...
I think if no one gets it soon, I'll let you have it for that and just tell you guys what I was thinking... soon as in uhm... by Tuesday next week...
***I was going to put this in spoiler tags, but they don't seem to be working***
but to illuminate the fact that this excellent guess isn't it... it's in the first half of the series ;P... definitely focus on the waiting
***-***
The storm brew?
nopers
Oh! The diamonds?
The fly? :-\
nope and nope
Darn. I liked my guess. XD
Quote from: Delling on October 09, 2006, 10:13:19 PM
***I was going to put this in spoiler tags, but they don't seem to be working***
Thanks for letting me know. :)
[spoiler]They should now be working. XD[/spoiler]
The magic fruit?
nuh-uh
The slingshot.
It is in a tree in the clouds.
If you use it on the giant, you score fewer points.
If you use the ring and WAIT for the giant to go to sleep, the you get more points.
*applause*
THAT'S IT!!!!!!
After figuring it out, I smacked myself in the forehead. We all should have gotten it after your reply to the first guess.
Quote
The gold chest?
Quote
Not quite...
Give me a little while, and I'll come up with a stumper.
Find me replete,
Make me deplete,
Fill me again,
Using deceit.
The bowl? :P
The jar of lard or of fish oil... when you get them both they're full, you deplete their contents and refill them with spell components... which if Manannan is still alive could be seen as a form of deception...
The invisible ink from KQVI?
Deloria - The bowl is found empty.
Delling - The premise is close, but still incorrect.
Yonkey - I don't remember being able to refill the ink bottle.
the bag of dried peas... you find it full, you spill its contents to trip up the blue critter, and you bag the cat using deceit
I'll let someone else go as I just had a turn...
I like your thinking... I thought it was funny :D
I got one! XD
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
(Yes, I know it's not original, but it works very well with the riddle XD)
...I should really stop guessing... but I love brainteasers!
the cheese moon... ...I have another guess, but as I think that one's better and considering that I really should stop and let someone else go...
Nope. XD
This probably isn't it, bvt it reminds me of the castle in Etheria. Either that, or the orb that one has to click on in oder to get to the Fates.
that was one of my other guesses... admittedly it was the third thing I thought of... I say 'tis Shamir!
That works too. :)
None of the above. :suffer:
;P
[Shamir as] Lady Celeste?
Nope, nothing to do with Shamir. :)
Cassima's locket?
the Crystal Dragon!
The dragonet?
Someone else can have it. :)
I will try one:
I have an unquenchable hunger.
If you touch me you will be hurt, possibly done for.
Yet without me you can get ill.
Play your cards right and stand by me and your enemies I will kill.
Something tells me this is wrong, but the genie's lamp comes to mind (the one in KQV).
Nope not what I was thinking of but I can understand it. My quatrain might be bad I can give hints if you guys want.
A hint would be great. :)
It is from the last half and here's another one: for the third line to clarify it more if you cook without me you will get ill. The first 3 lines are to identify the what. The fourth line is to give you a hint of the specific what I was thinking of.
*swings wildly in the dark*
the cheese in KQ5?
The river styx water? :-\
River Styx water would be from the correct King's Quest game but not what I was thinking of. An understandable answer though I don't think it killed an enemy for you.
*goes to Jeysie's Alienharmony site and looks up ways to kill Alexander. :P*
EDIT: Okay, I could find nothing there and think it might be Shamir, but I'm starting to doubt that one as well.
Hmm I guess Shamir can help you cook. You win! My answer was:
Gsv uriv rm gsv nrmlgzfi'h ozri
Just do what you had to do KQ 1 A=Z B = Y etc.
::) MATLAB say...
THE FIRE IN THE MINOTAUR'S LAIR
...though I think technically for KQ1, you had to flip from end-to-end the answer that you got from the backwards alphabet. :P
You take it, Delling. :)
Lol you used MATLAB to solve it? You deserve to get it for that much effort. I should be using MATLAB now but I am too lazy.
eh, I had to write the code for it earlier in my course or something... anyways, I had the code lying around anyway... and I didn't want to bothered with thinking... so that's why computers exist anyway... ...
I'll do a riddle later... *hopes to make another stumper*
Song and dance.
Watch them prance.
Not by sight but by sound,
I betray you to be found.
Those creepy leprechauns in KQ1?
The tin nightinggale?
nope to both ;D
The flute to make the wallflowers dance tog et the hole in the wall?
yep... though the second half was actually a reference to the guards of the isle of wonder
I can give you your hearts desire.
Or simply make you desire what I show you.
You stole from me as I clean up.
With what I had now you can tame the mythical beast.
Too lazy to make it rhyme. :P
Cupid?
He is pretty much the go-to guy on heart's desires
And he shows you the bow and arrows, which you want
You end up stealing the bow and arrows...
And tame the unicorn. :P
methinks thou hast guessed his meaning aright...
Cupid is correct!
W00T!
Ok...
I can give you wings to soar,
Or I can simply leave you be
But if the latter is what I choose
You'll surely want to stab me. :P
<3
The eagle in KQ3!
It can drop its feather allowing you to obatin wings to soar :angel: or do absolutely nothing helpful at all :suffer: and that is so irritating that I often find myself wishing to stab it! :stabs:
Even if my guess isn't right... it's dead on about that irritating, irritating bird!! ;D :evil: (last time I played KQ3 it took it forever to drop its feather :furious: :wall: *is obviously still jaded by the experience...* (*is jaded moreso than when Manannan pops in and kills him randomly because he didn't pay enough attention to the clock or forgot to hide something or when Manannan forces him to do exercises or sleep in his room* *shakes fist at Manannan*)
Yep. XD I thought this one would be easy. :P Your turn! :D
I'm just a lever long enough
In position most opportune
To get you in where you must go
To find home and defeat your foe.
:P
I wanna say the crowbar in KQ 5. Since you are home is in Mordack's castle and so is he (your foe)
I want to say the lever in Manannan's bookcase, but I think that's probably too obvious. :P

I know a major character I am not,
but you can see my dance in a place where it is hot
come grab the magical rod quitely you know you've got to
but after all this if you come back you may wonder where I have gone to.
The dancing girl at the Bandit Camp in KQ5. :P
You got it Yonkey. Nicely done!
XD Ok let's see. This shouldn't be too hard.
From a plant you should not touch
Large enough for one to clutch
Use some wood to set me free
I'll feed the reptile that ends in "D".
prickly pear from KQ7?
Yup! XD
Gila monster doesn't end in "D." XD
I thought it was a lizard. ;P
I'm sticking with gila monster. :P
He'll just ignore you without me.
The you will be stuck without guidance in the sea.
If the answer is not visible to your eyes,
Just remember I also had a role in The Lord of the Flies.
Yoink sorry to steal the right to riddle!
The conch shell from KQIV?
Nope the conch shell from KQV XD
Does it count as a correct answer?
Yep you knew what I was talking about. Besides I don't think there was a conch in KQIV although that is one of the two I never fully played through.
There wasn't. :)
This is easy, but I was fresh out of ideas:
Perhaps considered a pest.
Or an asset to your quest,
For services rendered to the king,
Assistance provided as they sing
The ants from KQV!!! :D
I love those guys... XD
Me too! XD XD XD
I did say it was easy. Your turn, Kelsey.
Yoink, sorry Kelsey :suffer:...
I am gonna switch it up a bit!
My first circles most circularly,
My second is feelingless,
My third is meditative,
My fourth is fearful,
My fifth is nothing,
My sixth will surpass eradication.
This is way too easy! :flirt:
circularly
feelingless
meditative
fearful
nothing
eradication
Is it... Cedric?
Yep you got it storm! :D
You will never see my last
I'll kill you thrice as you walk past
But within me lies the key
To your desired victory.
Ack! I am so bad at these. :wall: ???
maybe it's the "I'm half-asleep" talking... but I'm going with the bridge in KQ2.
Is it the floor with the tiles in the catecombs in KQVI? if you walk on the wrong one, three daggers fly out and kill you.
Quote from: hercrabbiness on February 18, 2007, 11:22:57 PM

I have a feeling you're right. XD
Thing is, there isn't anything of importance in the Spike Maze. I actually think that it could be the Tamir swamp, since it does have something of importance(magic fruit), and three ways to die(swamp water, poisonous snake, Gill Guy).
How does "You will never see my last" fit into that though?
Sorry, no correct answers yet... though they're all very creative. I didn't even remember there were three daggers in the catacombs ;)
I think I've got it! It's "The Cliffs of Logic," isn't it?
-You will never see my last (that being logic, because the puzzles are anything but logical!)
-I'll kill you thrice as you walk past (because you will die if you get any of the last three puzzles wrong)
-But within me lies the key / To your desired victory (pretty straight-forward, I think)
Nope, sorry :(
Drat. And I thought I was being so clever! :-[
Dracula's Castle KQ2
*joins in publishing reasonings b/c it's fun!*
-You will never see my last (The place isn't destroyed after you leave: it's just there...)
-I'll kill you thrice as you walk past (...because the brambles, dracula, and the ghosts can kill you while you're just walking around... sort of.)
-But within me lies the key / To your desired victory (It's key number 3; so it's the key to victory!)

Drat. And I thought I was being so clever! :-[
You were! your solution was very clever, it just wasn't the right one ;)
Ok, I'll give you a little hint... the solution of this riddle appears in more than one King's Quest game 8)
The three-headed dragon? Dragons appear in numerous games.
Is it the bridge in KQ2? Someone said that earlier and it makes sense.
You can only walk over it three times.
You never see it's last.
The "key" is on the other side of the bridge.
But its only in the second game, isn't it?
...but there are bridges in KQ1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 (granted there's only the one in 3 right at the very end there)
...that said however...
OO OO OO! It's Manannan! He has a tendency to kill you in both KQ3 and 5 especially as a cat in which case in 3 he kills you by tripping you as you walk past! We never see Manannan get it in the end... and within him lies the key to your desired victory because... because he has a knowledge of magic and it is that knowledge which is key to your victory in KQ3... the riddle afterall says nothing about the subject of the riddle offering up this key... ...
...that or a dragon... ya gotta have dragons :P

Eh, probably not. What's really throwing me off is that darned first line! I wish I knew what "my last" meant.
The cat that trips you is NOT Mannanan.

Quote from: hercrabbiness on February 20, 2007, 07:38:05 PM
Hmmm.... the desert?
Surprisingly, your semi-random guess is
CORRECT!!! ;D"My last" means "my end", which you can never see because the desert is endless. The desert kills you three times if you try to get past it - in KQ3, 5 & 7, and in every desert there's something essential to your quest (the key to your victory).
So... Your turn ;D
HUZZAH! Now, let's see if I can make one anywhere nearly as good :P
I may be hard for you to see
But you will need a lot of me
Beware, the guard nearby you'll meet
May cause you to be swept off your feet
This is an off-the-wall guess, but I'm going to try speed, when you're riding the cart down to knock the troll off the bridge in KQ7.
It's hard to see; you need a lot of it; and the guard's nearby.

'Fraid not, but an interesting guess. :)
Darn. Ah well, didn't really think that was it.
*goes back to :wall:*
Guards that sweep you off your feet sound like the guards from KQ4... XD
Make me think of the Sense Gnomes throwing Alexander into the ocean.
The last line almost echoes what it says when Alexander goes into the ocean of his own accord(or on account of Shamir)
"Nothing like getting swept off your feet..."
The Lord Of The Dead in KQ6?
It's hard to get to see him, you ask a lot of him (to raise the dead) and his guard (the gate) sweeps you of your feet when he eats you.
Nope. Wow, I've forgotten how many ways you can get "swept off your feet." XD
Quote from: Storm on February 22, 2007, 12:13:17 AM
The Lord Of The Dead in KQ6?
It's hard to get to see him, you ask a lot of him (to raise the dead)
Good idea, but you don't actually need a lot of the Lord of the Dead himself. ;)
I really thought Tessy had this with her "speed" answer... (it was a really good answer and the kind of answer one would expect of a riddle: something a bit less tangible)
I'd like to guess light.
Lots of people forget about light, ie- the reality of it all around them most of the time (thus, making it hard to see, cp. forest, trees :P). In particular, I'm thinking of the light from the lamp in KQ4 when you're going through the cave. You need plenty of light (and get so little!), and the "guard" in the cave kills you... not sure if he sweeps you off your feet...
Beyond that, guile or cleverness works almost universally because the characters in KQ all need a lot of it and usually use it in escaping some guard or another... I could make a long list here...
Eh, nvm, that... The answer is obviously the goat from KQ1! Heck, the royal family should just keep a bunch of goats around them: nothing would ever happen! Have you ever walked around with that goat!? Nothing will come near you! *bets the goat could have taken on the giant and the dragon* "[Shield?] We don't need no stinkin' [shield!]" We've got a goat!
Here's a hint: the answer is something you will add to your inventory. ;)

Quote from: Delling on February 22, 2007, 02:13:22 PM
uhm, the invisible ink in KQ6... *horrible guess*
But you will not find the guard nearby the ink.
I've got the answer... it's perfect if this is it...
The sentence in the ocean! You need a lot of them! (Just how many sentences are there in the game?), and the guards nearby do sweep you off your feet! I suppose for some it is hard to see the sentence adrift in the ocean there...
But you don't store a lot of sentences in your inventory; you only have one! :P
Plus, I already mentioned the gnomes.
yes, but your mentioning them was not a guess nor a question just a passing comment... it did plant the suggestion that they were guard in question... anyway, I'll guess again tomorrow.... which is today
That said, I guess LOVE(you find it written on the paper in the widow's web)
Quote from: Boogeyman on February 23, 2007, 11:33:16 PM

But that isn't an inventory item.
I think the locket in KQ5. I have no clue why you'd need a lot of it, but it's hard to see, and you have to get it quickly or the eagle (A more on-your-side kind of guard) will sweep you away. :P
Nope.
Here's another hint: it isn't anywhere in KQV to KQVIII. Look in the first half of the series. ;)

Manannan's wand?
When I read that, the first thing I thought was "Manannan's wand BATMAN!"
XD What?
Quote from: Delling on February 24, 2007, 11:00:58 PM
My guess is... your inventory in KQ3 on the pirate ship...
Or if not that, your inventory in the bandits hideout?
Nope.
Egads, next time I won't make my riddles so vagues... :-\
Another hint would be great :) Once we know the answer, we'll all be like "why didn't I think of that?? It's SO obvious!" :)
Mkay, here's another hint: it isn't something you can pick up with your hands. ;)
Okay, the dew in the garden?
Wheeee! ;D
It only took me *counts* four guesses and three hints! :P
Ok, here's mine (I wrote it two months ago in case I ever got one of these):
Shining brightly on the ground
Waiting to be found
Left be he who worked his wheel
For buying, it fits the bill.
The silver coin in KQ5?
Yep! :D
Ahh, that one was way too easy. I'll have to make a harder one next time.

Ok, here's mine (I wrote it two months ago in case I ever got one of these):
that reminds me... I wrote down like 5 KQ riddles some time back... and of course can't find them now...
ON WITH THE RIDDLE:
From love or beauty come I.
With me you may fly
But not from the ground
But from where flights abound.
*hopes it isn't too easy*
Sing-Sing?
Is it the hair of a maiden from KQVI?
You can get it from Cassima (the one you love) or Beauty. With it, you can make the spell that will call Nightmare and let you fly... but you don't necessarily fly from the ground; you find Nightmare at the top of the cliffs where the Winged Ones live.
That sounds right hercrabbiness. It definitely makes more sense than my answer.
yep, it's the hair
Woohoo!
Though I'll never admit this, it's sad but true:
I desperately need something better to do
Give me an item; I'll give you one of
My treasures you won't need, that another will love
The blue bead in KQ7?
either that or the statue at the bottom of the well
that definitely matches the riddle better. I was thinking about it the wrong way.
Nope! :P
The rat trader in KQ7?
Quote from: tessspoon on March 01, 2007, 12:14:44 PM
The rat trader in KQ7?
Not the correct answer, but I suppose he
does desperately need something better to do... XD
the bookworm in KQ6?
ooh, good guess.
*thinks that's probably it*
Nope. Here's a hint: the answer to this riddle shows up regularly in more than one location.
Quote from: tessspoon on March 02, 2007, 07:32:25 AM

then again, mabye not. :P
arg! I can suddenly think of quite a few possibilities... I've convinced myself for the time being that the minstrel in KQ4 is the most likely choice

Correct!
awesome... so...
A flower, a blade, a round
All before I am found
You'll need me to get past
The very next to last
I guess the scthye, Alexander used it to cut through the rose hedge on the Isle of the Beast.
nope nope
i have something in mind, except "a round" doesn't make sense. ???
well, give it a a guess... the worst that can happen is it could be wrong :P
(you're probably right and just don't realise it ;P)
Okay! My guess is the dove tile in the catacombs, because the order of tiles that Alexander has to walk over is Rose, Rose, Rose, Scythe, Crown, Dove, Skull, finish. The rose is a flower and the scythe is a blade, but I don't understand how the crown would be "a round." But the dove is the second to last tile... so apart from the crown, everything else seems to fit jusst right.
I like your reasoning... but it's not what I had in mind... I am hesitant to say more... maybe in a few more guesses
I'm completely stumped.
You and Boogeyman were on the right track...
Meaning it's probably in KQVI, right? :P

I'm almost positive you're right because you need her to have the dagger in the end to get past the "next to last" (Vizzier Alhazred)
Cassima? You gave her a ring, a rose and a dagger before you find her.
Seems to me that Shamir is second to last, not Alhazred. The game is over once Alhazred is beaten.
I think it makes sense. "Next to last" would refer to the sequence in the riddle (flower, blade round), and to get past Alhazred's sword (a blade), you need Cassima.
I love the thinking on Cassima and really, really wish it were the answer... sadly, the answer is more regular than that... try thinking about boogeyman's answer and hercrabbiness's answer together and come up with something else..
I'm guessing that the flower is the rose, the blade is the skythe, and the round is the beast's ring. Is the answer the mirror of truth? In the short path of the game, you need it to get past Shamir, but I think that would be the third to last obstacle rather than the next to last (which is giving mint leaves to Shamir).
Or maybe the round is supposed to be the mirror and the answer is something different. Like... Beauty's clothes or something.
We seem to have a bit of a disconnect in regards to vocabulary: the poetic term "round" refers to what royal object? Still, the round is really kind of unimportant to the rest of the riddle: the first half of the riddle essentially tells you where to find the item. The second half tells you roughly where you use the item (item meaning you get it in your inventory)...
The Rabbit's foot to get by Trilly Dilly the next to last gnome?
nopers
I have no idea on this riddle...heh
But I really need to reacquire the King's Quest games as many of the objects/puzzles in this thread I can't even remember! (I never beat King's Quest II or III though)
Another hint? XD
I'm running out of hints I'm afraid...
you've all figured out the game: KQ6
here let me quote the answers that you guys should be putting together to get at the right answer:
Quote from: Boogeyman on March 03, 2007, 12:54:51 AM

The rose is a flower and the scythe is a blade, but I don't understand how the crown would be "a round." But the dove is the second to last tile... so apart from the crown, everything else seems to fit jusst right.
[spoiler]If it's an item in your inventory, it's not the tile, but the interpretation that the tiles are in fact the first part of the riddle is correct. The scythe is wrong because it doesn't fit the first part completely nor the last part exactly, but there is something correct about it.[/spoiler]
...and it's an item in your inventory... I can't think of ways to make this plainer at this point...without just flat out giving it away... the spoiler just about does that anyway...especially combined with this (http://www.postudios.com/blog/forum/index.php?topic=4118.msg213381#msg213381)
anyway, I guess, upon reflection, you really do need an accurate interpretation of the first half for the second to become exclusive.
I really thought early on that hercrabbiness and Boogeyman were about to get it...
The shield? You get it after the tile puzzle, and you use it on the next to last barrier to get to the beast.
AIO! YES! THAT'S IT! HUI! HUI! EIA! EIA!
EDIT: uhm... you guys don't mind my Latin exclamations... I hope :P
I was just about to put up that there are two answers because in double checking that one, I found that you also get the coins after the tile room which (in the same way that I didn't count the Beast as an obstacle, I couldn't count Samhain) get you past Charon who is the next to last in the Underworld too...
Woot! Although Boogeyman and hercrabbiness did most of the work on that one. :P
Saved from one danger
Soon given to another

And why don't Cocteau and Samhain count as obstacles?
The reason
I didn't mention the coins(I never thought of the shield by the way)is because it seems to me that Charon is the THIRD to last obstacle(with Gate second and Samhain last).

Aah, tricky. :) I was thinking about the shield among other possible answers, but I wasn't sure whether or not the beast counted as an obstacle.

I'm trying to figure out if check for me in more than one revolves around the games or different areas in the games...
Valanice? She's in 2 of them, and she's saved...
Alexander was saved from Mordacks castle. Then he was in danger again when he went to rescue Cassima. He is a son and has been in multiple homes. Like Mordacks, his parents, Cassimas, the ferry mans, death's, and if you were feeling naughty he did get kinky with black widow in her web :help: :o

And why don't Cocteau and Samhain count as obstacles?
More or less, my reasoning was that their islands are largely about getting to them, so I only counted the obstacles in getting to them and counted anything they require of you as being the point of the whole island in the first place, ie- why you were there and what you were trying to do.
Nope. But here's a hint: it's only in one game.
Cedric! :D

...I think the answer is the windup rat from KQ7... First, it's used to get the troll chef out of the kitchen and then to scare Malicia. Both then go off elsewhere.

huzzah!
Full or empty,
My weight is the same.
Like me or not, with you I'll be
For the rest of the game.
Crispin's wand?
Genie bottle?
the crystal with sunlight?
But then again i don't know if you have till the end of the game...
Valanice's pot thingy in KQ7?

The invisible ink?
Cedric?
lol, cedric. certainly matches the second part.
unless you leave him to die at the harpies. course, then you're screwed. ::)
nope to both...
*thinks she'll wait for a hint or the next riddle* :P
King Graham's lungs?

You don't like Graham's lungs? *backs away hoping she doesn't mind mine* ...I bet you were one of those players who walked Graham off cliffs and whatnot... though in your case it was a bit more legit... it was to stop "the [breathing] of [those] infernal [lungs]."
...but... no... funny... but still, no :no: :P
the moon?
Valanice had the moon for only a short time.
Hint? :-\
right, hint... I guess I should say that the weight of the item would change (if one were to over think it) but not as a result of the weight of what one puts into it... uhm, that may be more convoluted than helpful... ... ...but let's wait and see...
The bottle of invisible ink?
I already guessed that.
The thimble?
Or maybe....the pie?
well, I was waiting for another guess... but no... neither of those...
umm... the hand held mirror in KQIII? You wouldn't like it if Manannan killed you cause you had it... ???
The dreamcatcher?
Ooh, thats a good guess. If you have it till the end of the game, I can't remember... most likely though. :D
You don't have anymore after releasing the Nightmare.
exactly, Boogeyman... and thus, no. (though it was something I checked out before posting the riddle :P)
Hmm... how about the mysterious device in KQVII?
Ok I really doubt that this is right but the Valanice's Comb from KQVII. Its weight doesn't change and you have it from the begining to the end of th game.
-Lessa
I guess the device could be right... I may give it to you if no one comes up with my answer...
ah, but the comb is never "full"...
Can we get another hint?
-Lessa
well, there are hints I could give that really make it too easy...
ok, I'll just give a which half of the series: 2nd half.
Rosella's lantern in KQVII?
EXACTLY!
Whee! Someone finally got it! That one was driving me crazy.
I was so close... lantern in IV... lantern in VII :P
yeah, for a while I wanted to give the hint: the right answer has been given except for a transposition and needing to add another letter
I have no riddle, Tess can put one up if she wants. :)
Sure. :D
I am out of three
But of using me too soon, be wary;
For then you may never be free
And the result, scary.
The porridge?
What about the cat cookie in III? Just a guess.
Nopes. :)
Cupid's arrow?
But aren't there only two of those?
Yeah, just two. What about the emeralds? There are 3 of them and if you use them too soon (like, before the honey, :P) you're stuck in the CREEEEEEPY forest. XP
Or what about the Brew a Storm potion? ???
Quote from: Rosella on April 13, 2007, 06:38:17 PM

Hmmm, that pretty much does match the riddle. I like your answer better than mine. XD Actually, looking back at it, I don't like this riddle at all, so I'll go with your answer. Mine was one of the food items in KQ III that you fed Manannan.
OH! :o Well, I have to go replay III now. ;) I liked that one.
hercrabbiness did mention the porridge.
But it wasn't one of the three on the table in the kitchen.
Like I said, I really don't like this riddle. :P
*wants another riddle*
*waits*
*waits*
*yoink!*
In another world,
I am a grave thing;
In King Graham's world,
Once I do my thing.
You could answer in two lines that continue the rhyme and make absolutely clear the reference in the first half.
The mushroom?
If not, I have no idea.
*was waiting for someone else to guess*
...but no. I think I could consider that answer pretty close though.
The realm of the dead?
In another world,
I am a grave thing; (Pun; In "Alexander's/Cassima's World"/Land of the Green Isles, he goes there and comes back.)
In King Graham's world,
Once I do my thing. (King Graham never goes there and come back alive...)
Your guess shows a lot of thought... perhaps too much...
Ok... as I've grown to dislike my own riddle, I'll try to give the response to HCN's guess that I felt would give it away...
Firstly, I should say that the first half is more of a pop-culture reference to the item than a KQ reference... (which is why HCN is still the closest since the mushroom could be seen as a reference to Alice in Wonderland)...
The second ties in exactly to this item (or rather One like it) in a KQ game. ::)
Ok, that's enough glaring hints and explanation for now... it's a good thing I said "try" since I managed to get through that wiithout giving the response I considered giving HCN...
:idea:
In that case... is it the ring that makes you invisible? You can only use it become invisible once, and in another world (one where hobbits reside), it is indeed a very grave thing.
Yep. :P That's it.
Woohoo!
I just wrote this up.. hopefully I didn't make it too vague:
If you see me like this, I am sorry; it's over
And then you will have to restore
I am no longer in my original form
And cannot speak my mind anymore
This isn't my real name; it's changed since that time
But what's my name now (not the name from before)?
hmmm *ponders it with Kelsey*

Shadrack used "Shade" as a nickname in his letter in KQVI but I don't think it's him..
Alexander is the only one I can think of that went through a name change since he was known as Gwydion by Mananan but Alexander is his real name, so it can't be him... Plus, I think he can speak his mind now.
WAIT!
Mananan! Because Alexander turned him into a cat? So he's can't speak his mind anymore and he's changed his form! But does the cat have a name? Crap! I don't know :( Am I close, though?
Ohhh, good one. The only thing is "when you see me like this"...so I was thinking more along the lines of when someone dies. Though...when you see Manannan out in town...ohhhh...*waits for the response from hercrabbiness*
Nope, keep trying! ;)
Medusa? ???
Hmmm.. Tess might have it. I'm at a loss.
Quote from: tessspoon on June 27, 2007, 03:11:12 PM

Every time I say "ooh, that must be it!" it's wrong. :P
Nope, sorry. There is definitely a name given to the one whose form changed. "Medusa as a stone" or "Manannan as a cat" aren't real titles.
Can we have a hint?
Let's see...
The last words you will see on the screen (before you restore) will tell you what the new name is. Prior to that, you will never know.
That leaves in games without (spoken) generic death messages. :P So KQV and KQVI.
It isn't VI, I checked all the death messages with SCI Viewer.
My guess is Graham as a gingerbread man(Graham Cracker)
When does he become a Graham Cracker? I don't remember it. :)
If you get caught by the witch in KQI.
Ooooh...I had forgotten that!
But it always says the same thing...Oh! When you get caught by the witch in KQV and it turns you into something? Or maybe, the spell book in the end when you fight Mordack?

I think you should be a bit more specific than that ;)
But that would require me to replay the game! ;D
awesomeasapossum is probably getting mixed up with the original version of KQ1 from the sound of it. But in the original version, Graham simply remained in the cage.
As for Graham the frog in KQ5:
"Graham was caught toadally off guard."
And, for the record, Alexander the pig in KQ6:
"Is that the beast you could do?"

Oh! And I just stayed up all night two nights ago playing the KQI remake and got caught by the witch at least 20 times.
Since it's been a couple months...
In times gone by this hole of deep
Entertained he who later ruled many
And since that time, fire woke from sleep,
And destroyed this that once gave plenty
I've been thinking about that blasted riddle all week, and I still have no idea! XD This is a hard one..
lol, i thought this one would be either really obvious or really tricky. glad it seems to be the lather. But i can give a hint if you want...
I wouldn't give a hint yet...No one's guessed. I wanna think about it longer too, I just noticed the riddle.
*sees this riddle for the first time*
Ok, my guess is the well in KQ1 since the dragon takes up residence there.
Yep yep. :) Although I didn't even really think of the first dragon living in the well, I was more referring to the three-headed one in KQIII. (I'm assuming that the well in KQIII was the same one as in KQI :P)
I'm fairly certain they're the same. I always felt that the end of KQ3 was sort of giving the player an update about just how ruined Daventry had become (why didn't Graham just saddle up with the shield and go kick the 3 headed dragon's butt all the way to the Isle of the Dead?... the shield is supposed to make him invincible right? So, yeah... why not?)
I really didn't like my guess that much so I don't have a riddle prepared at the moment.
Used to see one so grim,
Doesn't like the sight of him!
"Run and hide.
The bad guy's on the other side."
*feels this is ridiculously easy but hasn't the time to make a harder one*
The Hole in the Wall?
Yeah. I told ya it was easy. :P
Yippee! :D Okay, I've finally thought of something. Hopefully it isn't too vague...
I am easily found
If you look at the ground
For what I am, I'm unordinary
For your quest, not even necessary
The 4-leaf clover from KQI

(What are we, the King and Queen of the riddle thread? XD)
Wouldn't the clover also be correct? You don't need that to complete KQ1 either.
You don't? ... Gee, I never knew that. :o I guess I'll have to take your word for it, then.
But you do use the clover...it keeps the leprechauns from attacking you, doesn't it? *thinks she read it in the KQ companion*
Quote from: hercrabbiness on September 18, 2007, 06:47:15 PM

In light of that comment, I created this riddle:

Queen to Rook eight.
Pawn to King one.
Pawn sans a date.

But you do use the clover...it keeps the leprechauns from attacking you, doesn't it? *thinks she read it in the KQ companion*
You can play the fiddle regardless of whether you have the clover.
KQ1-4? :P
Very puzzling. ??? Prince Alexander?
And if someone does get the answer, could they please explain it to me? XD
Quote from: Yonkey on September 20, 2007, 08:02:39 AM
KQ1-4? :P
*agrees with slight alterations* :P
Knight to a King (obviouly Graham in KQI)
Queen to a rook (Valanice was locked in a tower)
Pawn to a King could mean Alexander going to Graham as in finding this way back home, or it could mean he became a king, in which case it refers to KQVI.
And the last one could refer to KQVII if the above is correct.
My guess is chessboard land...XD

Correct. Very good. And now, I'll explain.

Knight to King one.
Queen to Rook eight.
Pawn to King one.
Pawn sans a date.
So, the first three lines are descriptive chess notation that describe an aspect of each game (the last line is not descriptive chess notation).
N-K1: Obviously, knight to the square where the king starts, right? Sir Graham becomes King Graham.
Q-R8: So, this one is considerably more abstract: my idea was the queen is at the top of the tower (it just occured to me that I could also have used Pawn to Rook eight, Queen (R8=Q) or Rook one... however the numbers were chosen in part for rhyme and in part for sense so that would have messed up the quatrain so... no).
K1: This is an illegal move. But, the point is indeed that Alexander returns home. I probably would have done "Pawn to King eight, King" if I'd meant KQ6 (though that too is an illegal move).
Pawn sans a date: I thought this was the biggest give away here. Literally, "a pawn without a date" and Rosella is without a date throughout all of KQ4.
I guess it's Yonkey's turn. Deloria is right however that without the logic behind the riddle, there's not enough to exclude certain other things.
*wishes this had gone on longer*
XD Ok, this one should be fairly easy:
I appear in five and seven
Tossed in sand, but found in the heavens
I can free you from the cold
Part of me is made of gold
:'( It's been too long since I've played the KQ games!
Ah, I see. The last line threw me off, but I get it now. XD

Perhaps... the harp?
Yup. :P Your turn! XD
Used by both siblings
Only once by each
In order to gain something
Neither could reach
music? Rosella used the flute to charm the snake and get the magic fruit. Alexander used the mechanical nightingale to friend Sing-Sing to get messages to Cassima.

Alexander also had a flute, which he uses on the wallflowers in the IoW Garden. :P
Ahhh...then I say the flute! :P
Thanks Neil...been too long since I've played the games!
Yep, it's the flute! :) Your turn.
Ok...ummm...
You need me
To get a key
If you take this way instead
To the land of the undead.
The handkerchief?
Nope :) Good guess though.
Rhythm... for when Alex plays the bones?
oooh! SO close. Like...extremely close!
Music then?
Still close :P
....just a guess, you said it was close to music? Is it the bones that lay next to the door?
At least ya'll have the area right :P Let me know if you need a clue :)
dem bones?
Ok, now, that's not a serious guess... what about...musical talent? not quite rhythm, not quite talent but lies somewhere in between? :P
It's something specific, not abstract like rhythm...and ya'll are so close!
lol
Okay is it dancing???? ??? ??? ???
Nope...guess my riddle should've been more specific. But TrueCrusader, you're on the right track. :) What the answer has a specific name...and I'm waiting for that :P
The Jitterbug? or whatever it says in the text when Alex plays the bones?... *loads up DOSbox to have a look*
EDIT: That didn't work out since I don't have a save in quite the right place (I have a save in the land of the dead right before the gate)...
I guess "Dem Bones" and Jitterbug/whatever the name of the dance was... since "Dem Bones" is apparently the name of the song that Alex plays...
lol...nope :P Hint?
Hint please. XD

It is not stated what the dance was. The key guard and the skeletons in the background seem to be doing a jig, but the ones that come in are clearly doing the cancan.
As for what Prince Alex actully plays on the xylophone, it isn't mentioned either.
Boogyman, was that a guess? :P
Alex walks into the place where the key is...what does he do?
Plays the bone xylophone! :P
YAY A3P! :P
Hey, is this topic still going? I love riddles!
it would be... if AAAP would post a riddle ::)
If he doesn't want to, I will! :)
Hehe we are pushing December now and he last posted in September I'd say you can yoink his turn away from him. ;)
XD Sorry guys! I got caught up in the TSL Fannatic Beta-Tester Contest.
Helping a little girl
On her own item quest
Finding what was lost
Wasn't much of a test
The basket of goodies in KQII? :P
...Yes. Your turn!
If someone else wants it, they may have it. I may need some time to think of one. :)

I had 2 months to think of one and it was guessed right away! XD
If I may?
In the corner I dwell.
Always in the same spot, here I squat.
I flip at the sound,
A new toy I have found.
The marionette in KQV?
Negative :)
Dink?
Dang, I was hoping it wouldnt be *that* easy.
Good job.
Nobody's posted a riddle!
I know! How rude! :P
Indeed! :P
No luck with consistency

Yeah. Your turn, Tessy, make it a good one. :P
The instant I finished it I happened to check my email to find I can post it. XD
A long yellow feather on my head
Out and about so I'll be fed
Quick as I can out I reach to seize
But no, she never fails to see
A chicken?
Nopes, something more specific :P
See, I was going to say the Rubber Chicken, but the yellow feather was in it's butt!
...The chicken from Kings Quest four?
Not an animal.
Edit: Well, technically it is I suppose. :P
Who has a yellow feather, then? ???
I was going to say the quill in the library on KQ2+, but then the second line doesn't make any sense and besides [spoiler]She does fail to see when Graham finally grabs it :P[/spoiler]Oh, and I don't even remember if it's yellow :P
Is it the chickens from King's Quest III? Although, you've already said it's not really an animal...hmmm
Hint: Not in the first four games. (Or MOE ;P)
Chicken Little in Falderal? ???
I think you're right.
Nope. ;P
The answer to this is kinda obscure. Sometimes feathers are used in the clothing industry...

No rhyming in this one; more of a list. But oh well. :P Here we go!
In the first, it'll leave you alone
In the second, it could kill you or aid you
In the third, it'll give you something useful
In the fourth, it needs to be manipulated
In the fifth, it is an obstacle
In the sixth, it is not as it appears
In the seventh, it will tell you something
Obviously...it's something in all seven games... XD

*is still interested in this thread* :)
Before you hear our voices
With danger you must meet
To see the path before you
Three foes you must outwit;
And after we have told you
Tales of woe and bitter strife
The gifts we give may ease your way
Or even save your life.
The Fates...???
The Druids
Surprisingly, no and no :no:
ooo...toughie!
the oracles? ie- the one from III and the one from VI and/or possibly the gypsie in V?
Medusa, bandits, spider...
Minotaur, Shamir, ...another one...
the bandits in the desert, ... maybe this one's a stretch... I seem to recall that you can just head into the desert and handle this... *shrugs*
Correct! ;D
It was supposed to be one of those 'recurring theme' riddles.
And you got all three of them on the first try - very nice! :thumbsup:
As for the bandits in the desert - well, you do have to hide from them to hear what they say to open the door, then steal the staff from under their noses... I figured that could constitute 'outwit'.
Your turn ;)
Ooh...very nice... I thought my answer was a bit too stretchy...
To be seen
Gotta be mean
Play this
Or do that.
(I just realized I've been using morae to define my poetic feet while working on these riddles and not stress... :( :P)...oh, and both answers please!

An item one finds to have great attraction

(Posted on: April 06, 2008, 06:13:39 PM)
Er... sorry, I've got nothing. :-[ Anyone else is free to post a riddle!
How about this?
Serpents fry
By the eye-
Enticing
Pretty thing.
The crystal in KQV?
Yep. I thought it might have been obscure enough to take awhile. Guess not. Your turn, Cat.
One the ground, I used to slide
But now I don't
Baked in the hot sun
I'm all alone.
Probably easy...I'm not good with coming up with riddles XD
the snake in the desert in kq3?
Like I said...easy XD Your turn, Chucklas!
Blast...now I have to think of one...
I'll try a haiku....it's faily easy I think.
In a land far west
Near the water I am seen
To find me head south.
The mushroom from KQ1? ???
Possible, but Daventry loops endlessly in all 3 versions (AGI, SCI, AGDI).
Quote from: Boogeyman on April 15, 2008, 01:10:35 AM

Then it's bound to be west of something! :P
The bandit camp in KQ5?
Is it the mermaid in KQ2? Shes on the water, and I think she's south of where you start.
Kolyma is west of Daventry, too, I think. Atleast, as far as the AGD version is concerned.
Anyway, thats my guess for the moment.

The crystal you use at Mordacquiris catsle to get passed the serpents who shoot lightning bolts out of their eyes.
D'oh for some reason I was on an older page and thought it was the most recent post.

Not quite.....
The bandit's staff?
You see them use it when you're standing near the water, then you have to go south and take it.
The skeleton with the boot?

This should be pretty easy:
We're cold and hard and weather-worn
Drink bitter tears of those who mourn
Ashes to ashes, rust to dust
Our quippy words will mark your last
Rocks around the Green Isles?
...*wishes that last had ended in "ust"...* will make you bust perhaps? not quite the same style as the first 3 lines but still finishes the rhyme...
The statue in the bottom of the pool on KQ7?

Your turn.
Smaller than a tree stump,
Bigger than a locket.
The sun is not as hot
As the inside of your pocket.
something hot.....in your pocket......hmmmm I'm thinking of the skull full of hot embers in kq6
Quote from: chucklas on April 18, 2008, 09:52:11 AMsomething hot.....in your pocket......hmmmm I'm thinking of the skull full of hot embers in kq6
Not this time. ;)
The lantern in KQ7?
The hunter's lamp in KQ6?
Both wrong. I guess this riddle is tougher than I thought.
I don't know if beauty's dress in KQ6 had pockets, but perhaps the dress as it burns?
Nope. If you guys still can't get it in a few tries, I'll give you a hint.
Rotten tomato?
Nope. :-X
I'm just stretching here...perhaps the storm brew in KQ3?
The spoon in KQ7?
Why do I keep guessing stuff in KQ7? XD
Both wrong. Alright, here's a hint:
It seems that you are understanding the riddle backwards - it's the pocket that is "hot", not the item.
The iceberg lettuce in KQ6?

It looks like storm is busy beta testing and has forgotten about the riddles...or I am just impatient and don't want to wait any longer. I hope I am not imposing by posting another...
What goes south turns north
What goes north turns south
If you think long enough
You'll figure it out.
The maze in Mordack's castle?

KQI, II, and III? or rather Daventry, Kolyma, and Llewdor...???
nope. it is a specific place.

I'm not that busy yet, and I certainly didn't forget about it... I was just having hard time coming up a with good one ;P
Anyways, thank you for stepping up and saving the day ;)
Maybe we should have a rule that if someone fail to post a riddle within a certain time, anyone is free to post another 8)
I agree with that...say...24 hours?
The staircases in Archduke Fifi le Yip-Yap's mansion? :-\
good guess, but nope.
Is it the faux shop in Falderal, before you eat the salt crystals?
nope. given that the last few guesses have been in kq7, I will confirm that the answer is in kq7.
The Endless Desert? I kept going backwards and forwards north and south trying to get out of that place! xD
The Path to the Crystal Dragon? That makes you walk north south north south and takes a long time.
LOL I SHOULD KNOW THIS!!! I'v played KQVII way too many times. T'was my first xD
The KQ7 desert? :-\
This one is tough.
EDIT: Wow, Phoniex beat me to it. OK...maybe the spiral slope up to the Dreamweavers cave in Etheria? I'm stretching here.
still not right. I didn't think it was that hard...
The upside down mirror in yip-yaps mansion?
The Sun-God statue? :-\

Could it be the hole the dragon toad digs to save Rosella and the troll king?
still no....
We know it is from kq7...
as for a clue...think about when you go north and end up to the south...and when you go south and end up to the north...
i don't know of any other clue without giving it away
The dream with Lady Mab?
I'm running dry on KQ7 locations in general...
Okay, this is going to sound unintelligent but the only thing I can think of is when you walk around. When you walk to the north you are always to the south on the next screen, and when you walk to the south you are north on the next screen.
:D This is the best I can come up with. :D

Yes, the rainbows!! One of them at the top of the screen drops you to a southern location in the desert. The two on the bottom of the screen send you to either the screen with cornucopia/nectar or in front of Malicia's home. Thus north takes you south and south takes you north.
Wow, that was a good one.

However, both the Bountiful Woods and the Swamp are in the SOUTH part of Eldritch.
but they are both north of the desert.
Furthermore, Falderal is north of them.
I think it's the desert.
Yes she did! :o :o :o
And this time I really was too busy beta testing to post another, in fact I even forgot to check the forum and see if I was right ;D
Ok, here goes:
To be or maybe not to be
Is a good way to start for me
And to end the same as first and last
Will help you solve this really fast
And finally to place inside
An 'A' then from this should you hide.
bat!
(edit)
...or maybe not. Now that I think of it, it doesn't make sense anymore.
Heheh, actually it does make some sense... I'd say you're about half the way there ;)
to be or maybe not to be?
is it the cat from kings quest three?
Or maybe its the giant in kings quest one?
I think i've probably got this wrong...
Nice rhyming ;) but both answers are wrong :no:
Beast?
Agatha?
Funny side note: "agatha" would be Doric Classical Greek for "good" :P
I don't recall any Agatha, just Hagitha in KQ2, and Dahlia in KQ1.

I'll go ahead and give this in case there could be some unforeseen ambiguity: it's an item.
The hammer from KQV?
No.
The shovel from KQ7?
Is it the dangling participle?
No to both.
Is it a needle?
Nope...
The rope in KQ5?
I think that's the closest so far... though I just got the reasoning behind the shovel in KQ7...
Anyone want a hint?
The rope in KQVII?
No, sorry.
*changes the riddle to make it clearer*
I'll get you through
An end at an end
Just before the end
When you're through
A second solution occurred to me after I changed that...
The cat's life in KQVII?
Hint anyone? Guesses anyone? *pokes the thread to see if it's alive*

Sounds like the mushroom in KQI. It gets you through the small hole at the end of the leprechaun's tunnel just before the end of the game.
That works...though it's not one of the two I had in mind; I'll take it.
I was thinking of the hairpin in KQ5 b/c it gets you through the door at the end of the maze under Mordack's castle; or (not so much an item) either memory or the combination or something to that effect b/c it gets you through the door at the end of the volcano tunnel at the end of KQ7.
I'm rather busy at the moment, so if someone comes up with a riddle before I do, they can post it.
Can I riddle you? ... too late ;)
I govern, I party
a big house I do own.
at first I'm not friendly,
I just want your hair comb.
Arch Duke Fifi le YipYap! :P

Arch Duke Fifi le YipYap! :P
yeah ... so i guess that was easy? :P
Or possibly I just thing the answer to everything is Arch Duke Fifi le YipYap unless I'm proven otherwise. It really is a fun name to try to interject into conversation. :P
I help you get nothing seeming useful
And you endure great danger to get me
I glint in the sun like a gem
And you'll mourn greatly if you forget me
The pouch of emeralds from KQV?
Prince alxeanders ring from KQ VI ?
Nope. :P
Cassima's locket?
No, but very close.
Fish hook?
Ding ding ding!
It helps get the cheese, which doesn't seem useful at all, and you have to NOT get yourself killed by the harpies to get it.
And, of course, it's shiny. :P Your turn!
If information is what you seek
Then of truth I can give a peek
But first a metal most antique
Else your future is quite bleak
Madame Mushka?
Aww, too easy XD
Your turn. :)
This shouldn't be too hard:
Reptiles are my only favourite friends
Accompanying me across endless sands
Tall or short, thick or thin
Soon you'll join my rock garden
Medusa.
Yep, your turn.
I love this thread!
it's been over a month since anyone posted, so maybe I'll try to think of one...
Oh Oh! I have one!~
I am the power that drives him,
You'll have to replace me with something else,
Which is quite a box at hand,
For those nasty kids!
This should be too easy for anyone.
Iggy!
The twisted pet you get from Mort Cadaver in KQVII? Although thats what you exchange so I guess the answer is the grave diggers rat that powers his gravedigging machine. That was a good one!

I'm going to be uber bold and cocky and assume I was right...
The duality of my nature is astounding
Everything I say is contradicting
I never really had any assistance to perform...
for you, unlike my friend the worm.
Black Widow?
Close. I have to admit she does say some contradictory things but she wasn't the answer I was looking for.

You are extremely close what I am thinking of is in the same screen. Does anyone want a hint or a hug?
Dangling participle!
I want a hint. ;D
I want a hug! XD
Also, Oxymoron?
Quote from: Rosella on October 18, 2008, 03:27:05 PM

Also, Oxymoron?
*Gives a hug*
Yes it was oxymoron!
Worth, I have much
But use, not at all.
And I can be found
In a tree, so don't fall!
:P
Golden egg from KQ1. It's worth a lot because it's gold but you don't really have a use for it. If you don't know to use the goat to handle the troll then you can use it to get by the troll.
Aww, too easy. Your turn
You cannot get me,
I'm sorry to be frank,
but there is something of great worth underneath,
I am a _______.
Plank?
Yep! Your turn.
I'm located near the sea
After using a comb from bees
The injured bird is pretty close
But helping geezers floats my boat!
:P
XB The shell from KQV
XD Yup! Your turn.
I keep some warm when outside,
They think that's really neat.
But if I'm used when inside,
Some end in a 'dead heat'.
::)
Mordack's "Ring of Fire"?
Nope.
The cloak in KQV
Somewhat closer, but try again.
The genies bottle from KQV
Nope.
Okay - I'm reaching here...
The minotaur's fire pit in KQ6?
Quote from: snabbott on November 07, 2008, 04:16:16 PMOkay - I'm reaching here...
The minotaur's fire pit in KQ6?
Well, that's fairly close. Should I call you correct and tell you the exact answer, or do you want to keep trying? :-\
Since there's no reply, I'm going to say that Steven's answer is close enough. I was thinking of the Red Queen's scarf, which results in having the minotaur having a toasty finish. ;)
Steve, you're up!
Hmmm... now I have to actually think of a riddle... :-\
Ok - here goes:
I was prized by Royaly,
though I don't know why.
After you make use of me,
go make someone cry!
Rosella's comb?
Nope.
(Posted on: November 19, 2008, 07:18:01 PM)
What? No more guesses?
Patience, young padawan.....And no I don't have a guess :P
Erm, coal? :P
No, but getting closer!
The Spoiled Egg?
Yep! Your turn!
Nice riddle! Now let me think of one.....
Did you think of one yet? ???
Oh, I forgot to post it, sorry... can someone else go? I made one, but forgot to post it, and now I forgot it... :-[
Severed Fingers Tongues and Eyes
You're in for a bloody surprise!
Heads are gonna roll down the hill tonight!
Lolotte's torture rack? Getting ripped in half by the Minotaur?
From the description, it sounds like a guillotine, but that's something that Graham and co. HAVEN'T had to deal with.

Little Jack Porner
Sat in a corner
Smokin' a lot of dope.
He got really high
up to the sky
and smoked some more with the Pope.
Grevor, you do not fail to both confuse and amuse XD
I think he's just making up random poems instead of actual KQ riddles. ::) :P
Yeah, Grevor, this is KQ RIDDLES.
He is a TROLL (and I don't mean the Vulcanix variety), a troll that I have turned into a hedgehog with a spell I learned from the local Ogress.
I didn't think there'd be anything wrong with a little creativity and a sick twist. And I'm not a troll, I'm a cyborg.
Ahh... well I don't think there is, but I have no idea what that is,, hm.....
I see that I need to up the ante.
Spirits of Mist
And Creatures of Bog;
Transform Grevor Blackstone
To the shape of a Frog.
Anyone up for Frog Legs Fricasee?
So you wanna make me a frog? I kinda look like Rash off of Battletoads. Think you've made a big mistake Boogeyman! My whole arm can turn into an iron club and you're gonna be sent flyin' from Ooga Booga to the spiked mountains of Etheria and get impaled on them.
Ok, come on guys. Back to Kings Quest Riddles please :)
g'ACK! (I actually haven't read any of them yet... they may be quite good: see below)
Someone, split this... give him a thread to do adventure game related poetry in... meanwhile, we need a KQ riddle...
You'll find us everywhere you look
Under a clam, in a log, and in a nook
Left by some blue speckled loon
Who lost us all in a swoon.
EDIT:
Having now read them, I can say: they're not bad, some are rather good, but I think we could do without Henry Glades... ::)
pearls?
Sapphires?
Quote from: Rosella on April 01, 2009, 04:27:40 PM
Sapphires?
Well, basically, yes. I was going more for something like "sapphire jewelry" or something more descriptive, but just sapphires works too. XD
Well, I had the right idea. XD
You may think I'm lost
Because I wander around
But if you use my gift
You'll be the one who can't be found
The elf in KQ1?
Yep. XD Your turn. :)
