Current Goal

Travel to castles all over the world!
I'm a huge Role Playing fan, so dragons and such interest me.

"Take me to the Olde World to see the castles of ages past. Take a picture or ten while you're there! Oh, and since I am a dragon, I'd appreciate it if you added a bauble or two to my horde chain. No self-respecting Dragon is going to be without a treasure trove, after all!"

About This Item

I have named this TB "A Thousand Riddles" after a character from one of the games I once played. The basic setup of the game was that a demon made a deal with a great wizard, with the prize being a year's service from the other. The bet was that a random group of people (our characters) would be given a list of "tasks" to complete in a year's time. If we did them in that time, the wizard won, if not, the demon. I don't remember all of the tasks we were given, but here are a few of them:

1. Lead a camel through the eye of a needle
~The solution was to either "shrink" a player and a camel and have them... OR, as we did, lead an actual camel through a stoney structure known as "The Eye of the Needle", which lead us to...

2. Defeat Nine-Toes, the Demon-Beast of Antiquity
~Half way through the Eye was a cave entrance. It was the lair of Nine-Toes. In front of his throne was a chess board inlaid in the floor. We could either do combat, or play a game of chess.

3. Defeat the creatures atop the Twin Sisters
~A nearby mountain range had two peaks, known as The Twin Sisters. We had to defeat a Giant atop one mount. I forget what was atop the other. What we did not find out was that there were twin sister witches who wore the typical pointed hat. A spider lived atop each hat.

4. Circle the globe in a single day
~Three ways to solve this one. Find a spell that would allow us to fly REALLY fast. Days earlier a shooting star was seen to fall from the sky and land in the middle of a nearby lake. The "Star" was a spacecraft. If we could find some way to raise it from the depths and get it working... OR option three: Find the globe in the local library and circle it.

5. Answer A Thousand Riddles
~While we were circling the globe in the library, we did not think to look for a book that had a lot of riddles in it. What we ended up doing was finding an old castle. While exploring it, we came across an ancient red dragon, called A Thousand Riddles. It was fairly commical how we did this one:

ATR: What are you doing in MY castle!?!?!?!
Us: We are just looking for someone called "A Thousand Riddles"
ATR: I am he for which you look!
Us, to Game Master: Didn't we just answer his question?
Game Master thought about it for a bit, and decided that we did "answer" to A Thousand Riddles. However, we did have to find a way out of his lair...I think our plan could best be summed up as...RUN AWAY!!!!!!
