I'm having trouble reconciling all  parts of this riddle, but I'll take a stab at it.

Fisstech?  The package of fisstech that Haren Brogg wants delivered to Coleman, which is confiscated by Jethro at the jail?

I've made three new adventures for TW1; you can get them at corylea.com/.

I've also made a bunch of mods that fix bugs, kill annoyances or tweak gameplay; you can get those at the Witcher Nexus.

Sorry, nope... :teeth:

So, as a community service, I'll make another guess. :D

The stolen witchers' secrets?

And we have a winner, your turn now... and again, well done. :beer:
I still stand by the elongating the riddle if its hard thing as it sounds interesting though. :peace:

Right, the point note:

Corylea = 3 pts
Nightbring3r = 2 pts
56236 = 1 pts

Oh, and you forgot the point note at the bottom.

That's a good idea, much better than my taking people by the hand and leading them. :P ;D


Okay, here's a new one:

I'm full of slander, baseless lies
Of those whom we should praise.
The claim is that we should despise
All those of different ways.

I talk of wizards and sorcery
To make the common quail.
I say to show them no mercy
Let the scoundrels wail.

Ah.  A reasonable guess, under the circumstances.  I guess I should have made it clearer that I was talking about an inanimate object.  Sorry!

I thought as much for my second guess... here goes...

I don't remember exactly what it was called but its that little note thing or handout found in Kaer Morhen which
was lying around from old days when the castle was stormed and Witchers were killed. Could that little note be it?

EDIT:

[i]I'm full of slander, baseless lies

BTW - Slander is spoken, in print it's libel... that's what caught me. Just shows how much attention we pay here... :peace:

It's also found in Triss' house and can be bought (though why would you want to) from some of the booksellers.  It's Monstrum, or a Portrayal of Witchers, and yep, that's the answer.

Good job!  :beer:

I know.  And I thought about using the word "libel," but most of the people who are playing aren't native English speakers, and I thought that the word "libel" might be too esoteric.  Hard to satisfy them AND you, y'know?  I guess in the future I'll use the right word and those who don't know it can look it up.

There.  Happy? ::)

Your turn!


[i]56236 = 2 pts
Corylea = 3 pts
Nightbring3r = 2 pts

Wow, I can't believe how foggy my memory is... I don't know the names of half the books in the game, though descriptions seem to stick.
Ok, here's the next riddle...

Born of magic, an unlikely womb
I am pretty useful in a dark tomb
I quake from forms I see alone
with a sight so unlike your own
No matter my shape, the people know
the fear in their eyes really does show


Jeez, I never thought making riddles would be this much of a hassle... anyways, good luck :peace: (It's easy)
BTW - are these riddles supposed to be easy enough or challenge the Bezeugle's out of the contestants? :hmmm:

I think I'm really bad at this but I'll try once again. Fire? Or Cat potion but it only fits to second verse  ;)  People you are too good in this, I must admit it  :)

Maybe I have too small knowledge or I'm not so good in English  :'(

Nawh, you're doing really well. I guess I can only accept 1 answer so I'll take the logical one. Knew it'd fool someone, just didn't know it would
be you again. Sorry 'bout that. Keep trying, you may yet win 300 riddles down the line... :peace:

Really, that's what makes it a hassle but it also makes it fun. I encourage it, but if one feels they can't, there's no pressure on it. :peace:

The ironic part is that I don't even try. It's not like I'm setting traps here and there...
It's just a by-product of my inspiration... but keep trying please. ;)
If no-one guesses this after a time, I had the idea to elongate the riddle with additional clues so don't worry.
But, I'm sure someone'll guess this easy-peasy riddle soon. :peace:

No, you're not!  I was afraid people wouldn't take an interest in the game if the riddles were too easy ... but it looks like we might lose people because the riddles are hard. :whatthe:  Oops!  If I ever win again, I'll make my next one easy.

And really, I'm impressed that you can do this in a language that isn't your native tongue!  You have NO need to apologize!

Well, you won again... Posted Image

Guess you better make the next one really easy so that I win and return with a hard one :evil:

I think points are as follows:
Corylea = 4 pts
Nightbring3r = 2 pts
56236 = 2 pts
