As you head down the Candlekeep streets, you find your self in the presence of Salabasha, thief, demon hunter and riddler extrodinar. Of course at the moment he is full of ale so he asks, "Wanna here some riddles?"
"These mistical/magical questions are here for your enjoyment. Of course, they do have to do with the "Real World". But none the less here they be!"

Well ALaundo will probably tell you to keep the riddles to one thread instead of making many :P but...
1. Once, after that you'll be subtracting from 20, 15, 10, 5, 0.
2. Mt. Everest, it just hadn't been discovered yet :P but it was still the biggest.
3. there's only 3 people, grandfather, father and son. (1st father) the grandfather is the father's father. (2nd father) the father is the son's father. (1st son) the father is the grandfather's son. (2nd son) the son is the father's son.
4. He is the husband of the female judge
5. they weigh the same, but you'll probably have more money with dimes.
6. A coffin
7. The horse (or other animal/means of transportation) was named Sunday
8. Johnny is the only name left. (since johnny's mom only had 3 kids... 1 named april and 1 named may) |
