We in the building thread have decided that for some hidden elements of the library, the password will be in the form of a riddle. Now I thought this would be a good way to get new riddles and have some fun too. My first five; see if you can figure them out and tell me if they are too easy. Blade without pommel, hilt, or edge. Warriors trample, Alchemists prize. Enormous in number, not size. Has legs but does not walk, has a back without a spine. sometimes wood, sometimes stone, often arranged in a line. It burns without fire, lights without heat. Ever rising, ever lowering, the perfect lamp ever designed. Weapons like daggers, armor like mail. Your death is its breath, but on a beach it will die. lowers mountains, widens streams, destroys towns. no wall can stop it, no man can dodge it. It waits on no one, but slows for those expectant. please feel free to contribute.

I don't remember that riddle from die hard with a vengeance. I had to answer this question in science.
It would be a nice puzzle to solve to get into a secret room. If the game reigsters weight then just have two vases of different sizes, a platform with a water-hose hanging above it that you can switch on and off so you place a vase under a water hose, turn it on to fill it, turn it off, move the vase, take the other one, and then just figured out how to make one pour into the other.

A man once asked the Buddha, "How does one escape the heat of the summer sun?"
And the Buddha replied, "Why not try crawling into the blazing furnace?"

Yeah, might be a hard to implement that in OB, we'll just have to see.

QUOTE(Wurlon @ Sep 1 2005, 08:28 PM) Another idea for the secret room would be to take the winning book and place it at the foot of a water fountain or something, and a the room would open somewherez... I just thought of resident evil and this came up, the first three had some really interesting ways to get places... How about if you pick up a certain book, it triggers the door to the secret room to open.

QUOTE(stargate525 @ Sep 2 2005, 12:51 AM) there was a book I read that to get into a secret passage you had to pull five books in the right order... Yes, but we might as well add in a written riddle too. A hidden peice of paper has the directions on it (which books to pull and in which order). This might also be a good way as to incorporate some Morrowind books in... Here in our library lies a secret stone, Only moved when books are shown. One by one they must be bound, In synchronizing order they must be found.
To begin, a book entitled with a 36, Lessons written by a total Nix.
Second comes a book on the Til list, At the very bottom, it's floating as a writs.
Third is written for research, War magic is like a church.
If you found out my riddle, And found the right book, Do not hesitate, nor twiddle. For adventure awaits, even if you're a crook! Uh.. ya... I tried my best. See if you can figure it out... P.S. I changed it to three books; couldn't think of any more ryhmes. This post has been edited by raithen: Sep 5 2005, 04:47 PM
