[DF] Appropriate Riddles

[Nymdok]

DF is great combat fun, but GM's often like to throw in Puzzles and Riddles as a 'Change Up' pitch.

Criteria :

1. Answer must be genre appropriate - In other words no riddles about computers or flight attendants. Stick to DF.
2. Answer must be a noun. This should help us avoid abstract/conceptuals that might get misinterpreted.
3. TRY to make the answer unique. As riddles are often written metaphorically its probably impossible to not be misinterpreted at least a bit (indeed thats kind of the point), but TRY to make your riddle clear enough that it has ONE 'best' answer.

Try to keep the difficulty level low enough where someone can figure it out in a few minutes (This IS DF where we generally like to keep things moving). YOu may also wish to provide hints.

Ill open with a few.

#1
A sand colored fruit
a single cell
stolen at mornings brink
although it does hide
a treasure inside
if in cold water it sinks
beware if you will
and test with a chill
because if it floats it stinks

#2
I make a ribbon of time
of drama and rhyme
the whole of what men can confer
I dance and I curve
stop, start and swerve
as a feather or arrow or fur
The taxman and sage
the bard and the page
Move me with all that they think
I help keep it forever,
but remember it never
at least till I run out of


#3
These six skinny sisters
sing into a hole
Their tension fills the air
If pressed at the neck
still greater they'll fret
only north of the bridge will they dare.
