riddle- a man leaves his house and makes three left turns Bak / krondor riddle lists
|
|
|
I posted this in the adcenture group, but no dice. Anyway, i know there is a file out there somewhere that has all the riddles and the solutions from the boxes. I had a copy myself but dumped it after I finished the game. I cant remember the exact file name to do an archie search, and the location where i did get it from doesnt have it. So if anyone can point me in the right direction or send me another copy id like it - I sent it to a few people so hopefully someone out there still has a copy. Again, im lookin for the riddle list to pass on to a friend - i dont need any cheat toys, etc. I finished this game about a year and a 1/2 ago. thanks. Damon

I posted this in the adcenture group, but no dice. Anyway, i know there is a file out there somewhere that has all the riddles and the solutions from the boxes. I had a copy myself but dumped it after This one? It's not complete though. Tim - TeRRaTRoN PRESENT - p Betrayal at Krondor p ~ Moredhel box - wordlock's answer ~ DAY NIGHT The light one breaks but never falls. His brother falls but never breaks. HANGMAN Swollag, the famous moredhel craftsman, guarantees his work until the end of time. FIRE The chill of its death, You may soon mourn. But though it dies, It cannot be born. RAIN You see it about in field and town, It cannot get up, But will oft fall down. THE DEAD They feel no pain, No sorrow, no greed. They have no anger, No hatred, nor need. SMOKE Though easy to spot, when allowed to plume, It is hard to see, When held in a room. EYES Be you ever so quick, With vision keen, By your eyes, We are never seen. Unless, perchance, It should come to pass, You see our reflection, In a looking glass. RING A precious gift, this, Yet it has no end or beginning, And in the middle, nothing. SHADOW Silently he stalks me, Running as I run, Creeping as I creep. Dressed in black, He disappears at night, Only to return with the sun. GLOVES Buckets, barrels, baskets, cans; What must you fill with empty hands? ARROW It flies without wings, Strikes without beak, teeth, or talons. It has no eyes in its pointed head, but it can kill birds in flight. STAIRS Up and down they go, but never move... CANDLE He gets short when he gets old. He goes out then it gets cold. WIND The strongest chains will not bind it, ditch and rampart will not slow it down. A thousand soldiers cannot beat it, it can knock down trees with a single push. BLOOD Moredhel brothers, make it rain, Kingdom rivers, crimson pain! RIVER An untiring servant it is, carrying loads across muddy earth. But one thing that cannot be forced, is a return to the place of its birth. SWORD With sharp edged wit, And pointed poise, It can settle disputes, Without a noise. ICE Power enough to smash ships and crush roofs. Yet it still must fear the sun. ALCOHOL Today he is there to trip you up, And he will torture you tomorrow. Yet he is also there to ease the pain, When you are lost in grief and sorrow. DELEKHAN Death to our Enemies! no Living adversary shall Escape the new King of these isles. He will lead us to glory And provide New lands for our people! TREASURE Moredhel And Pantathian, Guarding Our Lid, Did Close Her Ever So Tightly. HOLE It can hold you, But you cannot hold it. And the more you remove, The bigger it will get. RUST It can pierce the best armor, And make swords crumble with a rub. Yet for all its power, It can't harm a club. VICTORY With this one thing alone, you will have defeated even the strongest foe. EYE TO EYE Three fools did once sacrifice, To win a contest long ago. Dobe Oyle, a Kingdom lad, gave his blood to start. A goblin man, Ethorat, hacked out his dying heart. Sou Oyle, Dobe's sister, won, she cast away her soul. THORN He got it in the woods and brought it home in his hand because he couldn't find it. The more he looked for it the more he felt it. When he finally found it he threw it away. HOLES A barrel of rainwater weighs twenty pounds. What must you add to make it weigh fifteen? HAIR Kingdom fools are born without, A lot of this, there is no doubt. EGGS They go up white, but come down yellow and white. NOTHING We love it more than life. We fear it more than death. The wealthy want for it. The poor have it in plenty. KNOCKER Asks no questions, but demands many answers. Don't knock it until you are ready to see what waits on the other side. CHEST MAGIC DEATH TEMPLE BLESS REST At last you may solve this. MILK You can spin, wheel and twist. But it can turn without moving. BARD Who works when he plays, and plays when he works? DIE Prince Arutha, from his lofty perch, Will find our troops without a search. His men will fall, his castle too, And then what will Prince Arutha do? SILENCE Names give power. Magic to control. But what is broken, by naming it? WRONG The language of men, can be mastered. But what Kingdom word is always pronounced wrong? CARDS Brought to the table. Cut and served. Never eaten. PEACE Widows and orphans, Parents and kin. This is disturbed most by riots and war. SHADOW It can move over water, But cannot fly. It can move under water, But stay quite dry. WAGON Has tongue, But cannot talk. Runs, But cannot walk. SAWS We don't need wine, We don't need meat. We have sharp teeth, But cannot eat. TABLE It stands while others sit. It groans when it is too full. It has four legs, but cannot run. WALL It goes past gates, but asks no one's leave. It runs clear around castles, without taking a step. SUNSHINE Never resting, never still. Moving silently, hill to hill. It does not walk, run or trot, All is cool where it is not. NAME Passed from father to son, And shared between brothers. Its importance is unquestioned, Though it is used more by others. NOISE What goes with a wagon that doesn't benefit the wagon, but the wagon cannot move without? COFFIN The one who made it, didn't want it. The one who bought it, didn't need it. The one who used it, never saw it. COLTS What has a mare, That the cow has not? OUTSIDE This side of a wolfhound has the most hair. CANDLE Its orange eye _b_link__s. The burning tears flow. But what its sorrow is, None may ever know. BARROW Two legs it has, And this will confound: Only at rest, Do they touch the ground. ONION She has tasteful friends And tasteless enemies. Tears are often shed on her behalf, Yet never has she broken a heart. SPIDER In all the world, none can compare, To this tiny weaver, his deadly cloth So silky and fair. BREATH You can see it in winter, never in summer. Even though it is as light as a feather, the mightiest moredhel in the North can't hold it for long. YESTERDAY Every creature in the world has seen it. But to their dying day they'll never see the same one again. BOTTLE Kingdom soldiers will look like it, When the headsman gives them a lop. For then, like it, they'll have a neck, But not a head on top. GAUNTLET What is the thing with fingers long, That grips our deadly swords so strong? HORSEMAN Six legs, two heads, two hands, one long nose. Yet he uses only four legs wherever he goes. COALS Black when bought. Red when used. Grey when thrown away. SECRET It is too much for one. Two it is meant for. But it no longer exists, When the two become more. FUTURE It never was before. It is not now. Fools wait for it forever. THOUGHT What ranges far and cannot be confined, yet stays in one spot? The correct one will open this chest. PADDLE Held firmly in the hands, Like a sword it cuts deep. Bloodless strokes, all, Then forward we leap. SNAIL Bloodless and boneless it travels about. Yet it never leaves home. BELL You hear it speak, For it has a hard tongue. But it cannot breathe, For it has not a lung. SHOE Has a tongue, But never talks. Has no legs, But sometimes walks. STOVE You seek it out, When your hunger's ripe. It sits on four legs, And smokes a pipe. MATTRESS Has feathers but can't fly. Rests on legs but can't walk. SQUARE One pace to the North. Two paces to the East. Two paces to the South. Two paces to the West. One pace to the North. SNOWFLAKE It flies without wings, Drops without fear, But held in warm hands, It will soon disappear. FLEAS When they are caught, They are thrown away. When they escape, You itch all day. THISTLE He stands beside the road in a purple cap and tattered green cloak. Those who touch him, curse him. BROOM All about the house, With his Lady he dances. Yet he always works, And never romances. PATH All across the countryside, to front doors he travels. But you never invite him in. KEY Axes and swords, Will not help you through. Yet it and a little push will do. Some in the road would have fought and soon died, Were it not close at hand, to let them inside. SURF Pounds all day, Beats all night, Never rests. WATERFALL This old one runs forever, But never moves at all. He has not lungs, nor throat, Still, a mighty roaring call. DICE You can count on them, though some would rather cursethem. You can speak dear to them, though well all know 'tis just in vain. LOGS They have not lips nor tongues, Yet lead them green to the pit, And as they die you will hear, Them sputter, hiss and spit. FARRIER There is a shoemaker in the dell. Makes his shoes with steel and nail. Although his goods last right well, Folks need two pair, without fail. BRIDGE When it is stout, People gladly tread. When it is thin, People walk in dread. MIRROR Look in my face, I am somebody. Look at my back, I am nobody. SNARES The bones of the dead, Can be used to trap the living. TROLLS Say away fom these hideus beasts, they kil our females and chidrens. BOOK It is a journey whose path depends, on another's vision of where it ends. BLADE Blessed are the first. Slow are the second. Playful are the third. Bold are the fourth. Brave are the fifth. ASHES After the final fire, the winds will blow. And these, which are already dead, will cover the ones who have yet to die. ORANGE Men seize it from its home, tear apart its flesh, drink the sweet blood, then cast its skin aside. ICICLE You see me oft, In woods and town. With my roots above, I must grow down. GRAVE You see me oft, In woods and town. With my roots above, I must grow down. GRAVE A strange earthen house, That brings nought but disdain. And yet those who stay there, Never do complain. EYES Twins on either side of a ridge that smells.
