The answer to #3 was "Orange" in the game.

1. You see me oft,
In woods and town.
With my roots above,
I must grow down.

2. A strange earthen house,
That brings naught but disdain
And yet those who stay there,
Never do complain.

3. Twins on either side of
A ridge that smells.
They shall never see
Each other directly.

Well, 2 and 3 were answered correctly. Only the first one hasn't been answered. How about we say whoever gets it is the winter of this round.

Icicle is correct. Crimson Wizard is the winter of this round!

1. With flashing sword and booming cry.
With darkness staining land and sky,
The army comes, prepared to die.
Soldiers fall in glistening dress.
As battles are joined without egress,
Save comfort in the earth's caress.

2. The wheel is steered,
Despite the night.
They prefer our lead,
More than the light.

3. When it is down,
it is lower than a horse's belly.
When it is up,
It is higher than a horse's back.

Captain D got #3 right with his first guess. Still waiting on #2.

Stupot · Fri 09/08/2013 16:43:06

I don't get it :-(

You can navigate your way through it I'm sure.

You got it. Seriously though, it's hard to come up with hints.

1. Holes at the top.
Holes at the bottom.
Holes in the middle.
But still it holds water.

2. Claws like a cat,
Crooked as a snake's hiss.
Patch together your guesses.
You won't guess this.

3. Round as an apple,
Deep as a cup,
All the Bitter Sea,
Can't fill it up.

A riddle from an old text adventure, if you've played it then let somebody who hasn't try to guess the answer.

"my tines be long
my tines be short
my tines end before my first report"
