I didn't say that she was more talented than you -- you're both wonderful -- just that the title of FREAKIEST artist might not be so easily decided upon. :D  (Freaky artists are my very favorite kind, so I'm thrilled to have both of you around!) 

And since Unkreativ made that painting for the 2008 Halloween contest, I thought that you might not have seen it and might like it.  (It doesn't make any sense if you haven't seen a movie called Monsters, Inc.

A  c o c k a t r i c e?

Indeed :D
Now it's your turn.

Okay, well, here goes:

Search as you will, you'll not find me
Not in house or inn or mill or tree.
"Terrorist" they call me, "Squirrel," I claim
In times like these, I'm not to blame.
Small of stature, mighty of heart
My friends do fear, for we must part.

[Corylea]

Hello?  *taps her microphone*  Is this thing on?

I know it's terrible doggerel, but you can still guess. :-[

Answer this riddle:

Hey, where's the audience?!?!?!!

Alright, the Jester try the answer: a dwarf?

Cory, we can make this between me and u, so if you win, I'll create a witcher  artwork for yourself, and if I win, I'll do for myself......hmmm I just can imagine what it will be....  :evil:

[Corylea]

Quote

Hey, where's the audience?!?!?!!

I dunno.  I thought sure people would be lining up around the block for the chance of an original artwork by you!  It sounds like a fabulous prize to me.  Plus, people play guessing games about movies and weird objects and stuff; a guessing game that's actually about The Witcher sounds like more fun to me.  Maybe people don't know about this thread yet; people might catch up during the weekend.

Quote

Alright, the Jester try the answer: a dwarf?

Well, yes, it is a dwarf, but I'm afraid that answer's not specific enough.  The rhyme refers to one particular dwarf -- which one?

[The Silver]

I think it's Zoltan.

[Corylea]

Silver!  It's good to see you again; I was just wondering what had happened to you.

Quote

I think it's Zoltan.

You're warmer, but not there.

Zoltan IS findable, and there are other things that don't fit him, too.

Now, that should be a BIG hint!

[The Silver]

So, we are looking for a dwarf.
It isn't Zoltan because he can be found?
Shouldn't it only in the locations mentioned?

So, who do we have?
It can't be Vivaldi, because he can be found in a house.
Munro Bruys is in the Inn.
Yarpen...
Yarpen does not appear in the game! But he is mentioned!
Is it Yarpen?

[genNighty]

Maybe it is 'mysterious' Hoog  :P

[Corylea]

Quote

Maybe it is 'mysterious' Hoog  :P

We have a winner!  Hoog is correct.

What do we know about Hoog*?

1.  He's a friend of Zoltan's.
2.  He's Scoia'tael.
3.  He was supposed to be in the Outskirts, but he's missing.
4.  We can't find him, either.


Okay.  Your turn to make a riddle next, Nightbring3r.


Nightbring3r = 1 pt
Corylea = 1 pt


*For those who are interested, here's the conversation with Zoltan:

G:  You look like something's bothering you.

Z:  Yes, a nasty matter. My friend was to meet me in this village some time ago, but he never appeared.

G:  Think he might be in trouble?

Z:  I hope not, but I wouldn't be surprised if he were. He joined the Squirrels recently and agreed to trade with the hawkers.

G:  Squirrels and hawkers?

Z:  The Squirrels, or Scoia'tael as they call themselves, are nonhumans who hope to gain equality by shooting folk from behind trees. And hawkers are merchants who sell arms to the Scoia'tael - illegally.

G:  I see.

Z:  Geralt, I'm not exactly welcome here. We nonhumans get blamed for everything from the plague through the Beast to the warts on the Reverend's arse. I'd look for my friend myself otherwise.

G:  I'll keep my eyes peeled, let you know if I learn anything.

Z:  Thank you, my friend.


Later, Geralt says to Haren Brogg, "My friend seeks a dwarf, Hoog, a Scoia'tael," even though Zoltan never actually mentioned the name.  I guess witchers read minds. :D

[genNighty]

Ok I'm not a big talent but I try to write something not stupid/unintelligible. Be gentle  :D

I will chase you till the end,
Everyone curse my name.
When the time comes, my friend,
You'll have to choose in my Death Game.
The decision is yours, I can go away,
But if you kill me, you’ll gain a fame.

The King of the Wild Hunt?

Yeah  :beer:

Corylea = 2 pt
Nightbring3r = 1 pt

Yeah  :beer:

Oh, good.  When Secondchildren wakes up, she'll see that people have been playing.

Speaking of waking, I'm about to go to bed, so my brain isn't firing on all cylinders at the moment, and I'm afraid I have only a weak riddle.  But here it is:

I'll help you out in times of woe
But with the pain, the fun will go.
Some leaves of this, some fruit of that
A tongue or brain to add some fat.
You'll use me when you begin to rue
What your fine cup has made you do.

[genNighty]

Is it Crinfrid Oil?

[Corylea]

Quote

Is it Crinfrid Oil?

Afraid not.

Jester says: it doesn't matter if you poet or a bard or nothing at all! Just riddle something (with or without rhyme) and it will be fine ;D

Note 1
The final prize will be a serious artwork in The Witcher theme, no parody! (I know that it could be hard to believe, but I can be serious if I want). As soon as I can, I'll link my gallery on my sign here below, so you can have an idea of my style (when I mean "serious").  :peace:
Note2
On suggestion of Petra (please Petra, do correct me if I mess up) the original amount for winning has been low to 100pt. No 500 pt any more!
Enjoy people!

See Corylea :D? Have faith  :peace:

[Petra_Silie]

Hi there  :wave: Seems to be an exciting riddle for true Witcher fans. Let's see who are/is the Witcher genius  8)
I think 100 points as final goal is already. 500 is a bit too much and maybe discourages others to join. maybe we can find a way to earn extra points.
