The Riddler

      You hear an eerie noise coming from the corner of Great Hall. Like any curious dibbun, you rush over to find out what it is. You fall down a trapdoor, and find yourself face to face with a dibbun wearing a long swirling cloak, holding a candle in front of his chest, which lights up his expressions spookily. "I am the riddler," he says in a faraway voice. "If you solve one of my riddles, I will show you the hidden exit from my cave. You can also leave here by giving me a riddle to add to my collection." Send your riddles or answers to the riddler here. You get 1-15 candied chesnuts for each riddle, depending on quality and originality. Send me the answers to your riddles as well. You get 5+ candied chesnuts for each answer, depending on difficulty.

1. If you stop and look, you can always see me,

If you try to touch, you can not feel me.

I cannot move, but as you near me,

I will move away from you.

By Gonfflet Answer worth 15 candied chestnuts.

Trapped inside
Their own estate.
Two and their child
Can do naught but wait.
A large, quiet friend
Who loves the babe
Will do anything
Their lives to save.

Two little mice
Oceans away
From all they know
Will save the day.

Hundreds of otters here,
But only one there.
Leading five
On a hazardous tide.
Why, oh, why
Would they risk such lives?
Gabool's victor touched
By the mousetheif's matey.

Vicious birds,
A mole who knows all,
Whooyahaha!
Rings out the call.

All of these things
I'm sure you know well.
Now answer me this:
What book do I tell?

By Clara Sparra. Answer worth 5 candied chestnuts

First that we knew,
Mortimer true.
Second of all,
Germaine, standing tall.
Third, Abbey pond,
Alf strikes the bond.
Just gave it away,
Bernard did one day.
Battling Dryditch,
Vale came along in a stitch.
Nobeast the next book,
A vacation this job took.
A new one by far,
Saxtus lifts the bar.
Who are these creatures, strong brave and true?
What have they in common, what did they do?
I'll give you a hint if perhaps it's too hard:
Little Matthias muddled it on the first of him we heard.

What am I?

By Mariel Mouse, answer worth 5 candied chestnuts

See me you can,

Hear me you cannot.

I brighten up someone's day,

And am essential for play.

You give me to your Dad or Mum,

When you've pounded too loud on your drum.

Happy am I,

As bright as sunshine

Riddle dee die,

What am I???

By Song the Ottermaid, answer worth 7 candied chestnuts

What called they the summer of Am-that-is?
It's same as the name of the sister of Brome.
A seed, a flower, a beauty 'tis,
It came well after others that bloomed in its
home. From grave of carnage the seeds were taken
Seeds sown from graves do only make more.
Tyrant and Adder this blossom has shaken

In places of peace where war blossomed for sure.

As round as a apple, as deep as a cup,

And all the animals can't pull it up.

What is it?

 

By Mercuryflower, answer worth 5 candied chestnuts.

Father who was poisoned
Brother who was blamed
Mouse who was sword-broken
By wildcat he would tame.

A time spent in the dungeons
Made leisurely by a friend.
Two mice, two hogs, who very soon,
Would see their captivity end.

An eagle flying below the clouds
Archenemy of the Greeneys.
Far above the secret oak,
Reaching to the skies.

Find the hidden map in the Hall,
With the riddles, you must cope.
Find the Fire Mountain Lord,
For he could be your last hope.

Crazy Queen
Died as she feared.
And from Ratdeath
Ever coming near.

A mouse claims he can throw a ball straight in front of him

and have it come straight back without the use of any equipment.

After receiving numerous bets he performs this feat. How does he do it?

I work with Lady Amber, Abbess Germaine and Bella too.
I don't work alone, I have a loyal crew.
I helped Martin & Gonff get out of Kotir,
Even though close to death, I didn't fear!
I faced Cludd,& watched him die,
Can you tell me who am I?

By Broadstripe, answer worth 10 candied chestnuts.

At the end of the night,
We watch her take flight.
As she goes up to soar,
We will fear her no more.
She helped Matthias to find the sword.
Of the Sparra, now she is Lord.

By Raerem, answer worth 5 candied chestnuts.

Feel the Silent One squeeze you tight,
She'll do what she knows is right.
Striking out at everything in sight,
Off and looking for her mite
She fought with Rab,
She's not in DAB.
She lived in Floret,
Are you for it?
It was the Bellmaker book,
You've got to be hooked.
Who was she?

By Raerem, answer worth 5 candied chestnuts.

My first is in cursive, and also in print
My second is a trianguliar dent
My third has to do with the earth and sun
My fourth begains the amazing run
My fifth is a claw, up and down

The name of one is two of two
Here's when the seabreeze reigns most.
Some say that I am best when the moon is new.
Though I believe I cannot boast
About when I come out of hiding.
The last of the gulls chant their cry.
And the echo of the great cliffs will bring
A contented smile on anybeasts face as they pass by
I will say watch out for the big waves in Spring.
After the snow has melted and joined its brethren.
Oh, I should give you another clue!
I would not be without my eye.
I come before every night of new.
My spirit comes near by and by.
My next clue is the word of the light.
Oh no, I've told you the word
I'll slink away, ashamed as one.
And I'll now fly from this place as a bird
For my song is soon done.
Remember I come before the dark.

By Jade, answer worth 10 candied chestnuts.

I do not like the danger of war,
The howl of innocent ones in despair.
Yet as much as I would love to stay,
Oh, Tirry, I must go away!
The call of the mountain speaks to me,
Where lonesome birds wheel near the sea.

My faithful companion accompanies me,
And one day when gone is he,
I shall carve poems into the rock face,
With my special tool the mace.

I know your name,
So tell me mine.

By Melanius of the Naughty Knot, answer worth 10 candied chestnuts.

Great I was, 'til poisoned by my daughter,
Read carefully, find out of her surname.
Every woodlander fought her,
Each one wanting to KO the dame. (Huh, yeah right.)
Never relenting, always rebelling,
Each woodlander was just the same.
Yes, she was cruel, she was a murderer,
Everybeast wanted ruler to be her brother.
She had a fear of water, it always made her shudder.

By Song of the Naughty Knot, answer worth 5 candied chestnuts.

Young 'un am I,
Stealing alla pie,

Who m'I?
