Wonder what would happen if you threw a bucket of water on Keziah Mason? It worked in the Wizard of Oz! Though I imagine in this game it would only annoy her and cause her to do something nasty to you.

Would it be possible to keep the back backgrounds as they are, but give the player the choice of whether they wish to see boxes on the borders or to crop the images? Though this would require having to figure some way to get the engine to crop the images for you you and I don't know how difficult that would be to code.

There is also a little query in exams that checks if you remember what you have read, so that affects the grades too.

Hopefully Walter will have a photographic memory or at least have that option. Maybe some sort of mechanic where Walter can do all the remembering for you and then he'll know what the correct answers are on the test?

Having read the original story am I correct in assuming that it is possible to get killed? Will there be a way to defeat the witch without getting killed by her familiar at the end?

More Hobbit riddles! Don't answer if you read the book or seen the movie and already know the answers.

1
What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees,
Up, up it goes,
And yet never grows?

2
Voiceless it cries,
Wingless flutters,
Toothless bites,
Mouthless mutters.

3
An eye in a blue face
Saw an eye in a green face.
"That eye is like to this eye"
Said the first eye,
"But in low place,
Not in high place."

Any news for the next Nelly Cootalot game? Pirates are cool. http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=47753.0

Heh... guess I'm not really up on my American slang expressions.  If that's what they are.

Are there shoes called Loafers?

That's the correct answer! Those last riddles were a bit of pun...

What kind of shoe is best for stealthy movement?

Sneakers?

What kind of shoe do lazy people wear?

Slacks?

You got the first one. Though for the second one you gave a type of pants rather than shoe.

What kind of shoe is best for stealthy movement?

What kind of shoe do lazy people wear?

Okay here's a new one:

Although I am much more bright,
I am always measured in candle light.

1. Podiatrist? Or what do they call those doctors who cure gout?

toes

That would make sense, but horses don't have toes?

1. You must keep this thing,
Its loss will affect your brothers,
For once yours is lost,
It will soon be lost by others.

"Temper" is correct.

"Your cool" could also work, perhaps.

1. Sanity!

2. No visible flesh,
Nor blood, nor bone,
But given time,
They will walk alone.

Robots! Particularly ASIMO.

And if that doesn't work then some incredibly stinky gym socks!

@mkennedy: Pirates over 65 be joining the AARP. Or perhaps the AARRRRRRP

That be correct! The American Association of Retired Pirates or the A. A. AAARRR! P.

What be the name of the group for pirates over 65 who's seafaring days are behind them?

I think I know what you're getting at, but I have no idea how the answer would be phrased.

Spoiler

Are you just looking for the acronym?

Spoiler

Yeah, the acronym would be fine. Without the joke/riddle wouldn't make much sense

Think "Talk Like a Pirate" day.
Maybe this rephrasing will make it easier...

After years of plunder, Ocean Spirit Dennis had gathered enough loot to buy a villa in the Bahamas and live out his old age in comfort without ever having to work again so what was the organization that he joined?
