[X] Aim for the eyes with ice
Time for rolls!
You get a riddle, an orginal, non-Internet, hopefully suitablely difficult riddle. Also, time stops to give you as much time as you need. (If you can't take advantage of this, I will be disappointed)Well, we dodge like a boss, fail at aiming, and then something special happens.
Are we physically frozen as well (minus whatever we would need to answer the question)?Also, time stops to give you as much time as you need. (If you can't take advantage of this, I will be disappointed)
Nope (thank your great roll)Are we physically frozen as well (minus whatever we would need to answer the question)?
Now I'm curious what exactly we can get away with while time is frozen. There is supposedly some entity administrating this test after all, and he might not take to kindly to us trying to rig it.
[X] LoveYou get out of the way of the dragon's charge easily. You have a head start, after all, so it is a simple matter to run to the side before the dragon can reach you. After you are out of the way, you fire off three ice bolts. They all miss the eyes, which aren't the easiest targets to hit, but they do hit the dragon's upper body. Unfortunately, they do absolutely no damage. Sure, there is small covering of ice where they hit, but the actual ice bolts themselves just slid right off its scales, they couldn't pierce it.
After your last shot, the dragon starts to turn towards you and you accidentally step backwards. Then the dragon stops moving, frozen mid turn. You try to move back, but you hit an invisible wall. You try moving forward, but the same thing happens. You are trapped on a two feet long square slab with a nine pointed star, made from three interlocking triangles, etched on it. In front of you appears glowing letters.
When an answer is given, time will resume once more.
Everyone has it, yet the young gain it the easiest.
Without it, it is impossible to function.
It has led to things both great and terrible and will continue to do so.
It can lead to insanity, yet its lack can lead to the same.
It can be false and true, real and imaginary, yet it is always there.
What is it?
[] What is the answer?
[] What is your plan when time starts once more? (This can include any preparations before you give your answer)
hmm, that is a toughy.Everyone has it, yet the young gain it the easiest.
Without it, it is impossible to function.
It has led to things both great and terrible and will continue to do so.
It can lead to insanity, yet its lack can lead to the same.
It can be false and true, real and imaginary, yet it is always there.
What is it?
EVERYONE has love? It's impossible to function without love? To much or too little can lead to insanity? Maybe if you are being optimistically poetic, but otherwise I don't think it's right.
Knowledge leads to terrible things? Too much knowledge can lead to insanity? Without getting into Lovecraft, I don't see it being so.
Are we stuck on the slab, or are we able to move around the room?
I don't think we can move beyond the slab.. You try to move back, but you hit an invisible wall. You try moving forward, but the same thing happens. You are trapped on a two feet long square slab
We are stuck on the slab, due to invisible walls.Are we stuck on the slab, or are we able to move around the room?
I'm not sure those would go through the invisible walls.One thing that comes to mind is that we might be able to shoot icicles, and they would freeze mid-air once they leave the time-stasis.
You try to move back, but you hit an invisible wall. You try moving forward, but the same thing happens. You are trapped on a two feet long square slab with a nine pointed star, made from three interlocking triangles, etched on it.
Maybe they will, maybe they won't. Can you think of a downside to finding out?
Knowledge HAS lead to terrible things, but it's the "Will continue to do so" part that I'm not so sure about. And a lack of knowledge doesn't cause insanity either, just stupidity.Having too much knowledge, of certain things, CAN lead to insanity. And Knowledge created the Atom Bomb. Science literally translates to Knowledge, so far as I know.
I don't know if that's a addition to the riddle, or you saying that the gods want us to be stumped by your riddle.
