The phrase to look at is: Close to boot. The answer is a 5 letter word.

Adeel · Thu 17/10/2013 20:15:48

3. Shoes?

Renodox · Thu 17/10/2013 20:28:29

No

Renodox · Fri 18/10/2013 09:09:08

Sharpen those wits and jab yourselves to find the answer.

I liked how 'steps' fitted the riddle (horse pace, close to boot, travel much yet prisoners), anyways...

- Socks?

Renodox · Fri 18/10/2013 19:58:53

No it's not socks.

3. Spurs

Renodox · Sat 19/10/2013 01:36:35

Yes.

These three are the last of the ones in my book. I'll welcome new additions of course but I'm out for now.

1. When people come for me to meet,
They come to me with heavy feet.
The one I hold when I get my chance,
Will turn and spin and start to dance.

2. When it comes in,
From sea to shore,
Twenty paces you'll see,
No less, no more.

3. Like dogs shouting at the moon,
Or armor worn by trees,
Like a sharply spoken command,
Or a tiny vessel upon the seas.

Renodox · Sat 19/10/2013 18:35:41

2 and 3 were answered correctly with Fog and Bark. 1 was not.

mkennedy · Sat 19/10/2013 20:23:13

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

Crimson Wizard · Sat 19/10/2013 20:24:40

AFAIK these riddles are from medieval fantasy game

That should be some really simple thing. Maybe a metaphore.

(no, I can't guess what it is... yet)

Is #1 perhaps

Renodox · Mon 21/10/2013 06:42:50

"Gallows" is correct. Well congratulations and thanks for playing. Hopefully some new riddles will be added to this thread, but for now, I'm out.

Stupot · Mon 21/10/2013 11:06:21

Thanks for sharing those Renodox. They've been fun

Let's try not to let this thread die though, guys.
We've had a lot of medieval, Krondorian ones, about horses and gallows etc, so how about some more modern or even futuristic riddles
