This game will run from February 24th through March 2nd, with the final posting on the 3rd. For your entertainment I (and my daily guests) will offer three three three riddles for you to solve. [b]DO NOT answer the riddles in this thread or in the forum!!![/b] No – that would be giving the answers away. Answer these riddles in a [b]private message [/b]to my lairspirit, Emberglo. (Note: there is no ‘w’ in Emberglo.) Just read the riddles, figure out the answers and send her the message with the answers. If you don’t know all three, answer one or two but please guess at them. There will be prizes! [b]Here is a clue for you:[/b] All the answers can be found in a HOARD, or somewhere on Sornieth or found in Flight Rising. (Not necessarily your hoard but in some hoard somewhere. Probably Emberglo's - just sayin'!) The next day the three three three answers will be posted along with three three three new riddles. A prize will be given away to three three three winners. Rumor has it these prizes are the answers to the riddles! How very TRICKY! (Is this a clue?) The winners will be chosen from those who answered the riddles by a random number generator applied to Emberglo's private 'Spreadsheet of Wonderful Participating Riddle Guessers'. This game will continue until all 21 riddles have been posted. Then the final answers will be listed on the 3rd. THEN – more prizes will be awarded!!! The prizes will go to the Riddle Guessers who answered the most riddles! And ties will be resolved by the Infamous RNG Oracle. (That means NINE more prizes will be given away.) So Sunday, February 24th, come right here to see the first three three three riddles, presented by my first guest, Wyldyrn. See you then!

[color=#6600CC][size=6][b]LET THE TRICKS BEGIN!!![/b][/SIZE] You wake up from an odd dream. You were playing a game with friends. You were rolling dice to determine your next move when a dark purple fog rolled into the room. And now you are ... here. But where is 'here'?? Two dragons are approaching you. They don't look too scary. [center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=7096069] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/70961/7096069_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] [i]"Binder here!!! I'd like to introduce Wyldyrn, Matriarch of Moonlit NyytWeyr. You may have noticed that you are deep within a maze. She will present the first tri-set of riddles to help you figure out where you are and return (if you wish) to the game you were playing. Remember to ANSWER IN A PRIVATE MESSAGE to Emberglo. Have fun!"[/i] [center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=1049925] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/10500/1049925_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] [i]"Greetings, Riddle Folk and thank you, Binder. I am Wyldyrn, Matriarch of Moonlit Nyyt Weyr. Welcome to our fifth year of Trickmurk Tri-riddles. Here are the first three of twenty-one riddles to help you escape the maze!"[/i] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/p8lltd9.png[/img][/center] [color=#6600CC][size=5][b]Riddle Number 1:[/b] You'll see I'm happy by my ears But check my fins to know my fears! Who am I?[/color][/size] [item=Satin Pocketmouse]won by Veredii That's the first riddle - also a clue as to where you are. Now follow me SOUTH to the next riddle...oh look - a Shimmering Pinecone. And there's a riddle attached! [color=#009999][size=5][b]Riddle Number 2:[/b] We care not of dragons But knowledge do absorb As we go about our business Beneath yon bright orb. Who am I?[/color][/size] [item=Moonlight fungi] won by KnightYumi And now let's take this path - it travels North East. Here is the third riddle. [color=#663399][size=5][b]Riddle Number 3:[/b] My leaves are quite bright And quite gaudy to see. I know where dragons were. And I where flies will be. Who am I?[/size][/color] [item=janustrap] won by Arianethel [i]"Hmm - we've traveled through the maze a bit, but we seem to have reached the end of today's clues. There - thank you, Wyldyrn! Those don't seem too difficult or are they really TRICKY???? Remember: answer in a [b]private message[/b] to our lairspirit Emberglo and GOOD LUCK!

[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/SQXEwty.png[/img][/center] [size=6]Day Two of the Trickmurk Tri-Riddle Game. Come one! Come all![/size] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=7096069] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/70961/7096069_350.png[/img] [/url] "Hey - wake up! It's time to continue our journey through the maze. Have you figured out where you are yet?" You mumble something about being right here while rubbing the sleep out of your eyes. Binder laughs. "I've brought my friend Frazil today. He's going to lead us through the next sections of the maze." [right][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=30718766] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/307188/30718766_350.png[/img] [/url][/right] Frazil coughs, nods his head - and seems to be blushing just a bit. "Heh heh - follow me. First we must follow this trail southeast... that's to the right and down." He lumbers off. You follow Binder to a very ornate spout of water. Frazil flicks his tail into the spray and knocks out ... a Shimmering Pinecome. There's a riddle attached. [color=#6600CC][size=5][b]Riddle Number 4:[/b] We travel in packs. In shadows we hide Then suddenly show up Right there at your side. Who am I?[/color][/size] [item=umbra wolf] won by Katsuokai "Hmm. While we think on that, let's take this next path up and to the right. That's Northeast, I believe." Frazil hands the riddle to you and the pinecone to Binder, who follows along behind him. After a short walk you come upon a small pile of more Shimmering Pinecones. Frazil reaches inside the pile and pulls out another riddle. 'Aha - here is one!' [color=#009999][size=5][b]Riddle Number 5:[/b] A carcass hid beneath the sand Can't hide from me in this wasteland. Who am I?[/color][/size] [item=nightsky fuiran] won by alyblaith "Ok! Onwards! Let's go West this time!" You don't have time to consider the riddle - the Bogsneak is disappearing in the distance. Binder gathers the pile of pinecones and follows after you. "Hmm. I don't see a riddle here - oh wait. It's deep in this stump." Frazil slams his heavy tail against a dead stump. It breaks apart. Several pinecones roll out. Frazil reads the riddle while Binder stashes the pinecones. [color=#663399][size=5][b]Riddle Number 6:[/b] I've wings like a bird But I'm not any bat. If you see black and red Then it's me - the _________ . Who am I?[/size][/color] [item=red-winged owlcat] won by tigressRising "Well" Frazil nods at you. "I've led you this far. Now I must be about my own business. You and Binder have fun deciphering those riddles." Frazil scurries away, barely giving you a second to yell a 'Thank you!' at him. Binder looks at you, holding the three riddles. "Those riddles seem rather easy ... or hard ... or are they also TRICKY???? I'll leave you for a bit to figure them out. Remember: answer in a private message to our lairspirit Emberglo and GOOD LUCK! The three three three answers will appear tomorrow along with three three three randomly chosen winners and three three three new riddles." "See you tomorrow!"

You hear her before you see her. [size=6]Day THREE THREE THREE of the Trickmurk Tri-Riddle Game. Three is my favorite number – have you noticed?[/size] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=7096069] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/70961/7096069_350.png[/img] [/url] You realize you are still clutching the three riddle cards from yesterday. Binder lands next to you. She nods at your riddles. "Number 5 turned out to be a TRICKY riddle! Did you solve it?" "Yes and no." You answer. Binder chuckles. "Well there will be three three three more today once our Guide arrives. By the way, Emberglo sends greetings and thanks you for participating and enjoying our game." "Oh - here is our Guide. She recently joined the Moonlit Nyyt Weyr. She was all basic and Unnamed at over 5 years old, but she's different now! Good day to you, Anadem!" [center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=129463] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/1295/129463_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] "Hello! I am pleased to meet you. In order to find the first riddle for today, we must travel south and west. And I hope you aren't claustrophobic? It won't be too bad because I fit inside and I am over 10 meters long, not tiny like Binder." She starts down the chosen path. After walking for a while, Anadem suddenly disappears right into the side of a mountain! You follow... and stumble over yet another pine cone. "I think I found our riddle." "Read it." Binder and Anadem wait for you to unfold a card so you can read the riddle. [color=#6600CC][size=5][b]Riddle Number 7:[/b] If you decide to bond with me Our lair will have no ant nor flea. I'll grab them with my tongue of blue And chomp them. That's OK with you? Who am I?[/color][/size] [item=Bramble Guardian] won by Ciphers "Well, after riddle #5 - which many did answer correctly - this one seems easy!" Anadem walks past you as you read it again, leaving Binder to collect the pinecone. "South and west again, I believe. And to one of my favorite places in the maze!" You follow as the scenery changes. From dark and gloomy, now the view is open and clear. A small creature scurries by, a pinecone balanced on its back. Anadem grabs it as you and Binder look out in the distance to a huge rock, occupied by many creatures who sing a song. You can barely understand the words but it sounds beautiful. [color=#009999][size=5][b]Riddle Number 8:[/b] The bubbles pop! Hear their refrain. But now Tidelord Makes us insane. Who am I?[/color][/size] [item=waveswell sorcerer] won by Ru3CO12 Anadem listens as the song repeats then crosses to the east. "One more riddle to find and I believe it will be down in here." She enters a large culvert leading to a damp area. You hope you will be safe in here. It doesn't look very comfortable. Binder scurries out quickly, scrunching up her nose while stashing one more pinecone. How many does she have? And what is she going to do with them? "I found it. You don't have to stay there tonight so we will say 'Goodbye' to Anadem and begin to wander down this path. You follow the tiny Nocturne while trying to read the third riddle. [color=#663399][size=5][b]Riddle Number 9:[/b] I thrive on this but you'd get thinner. You wouldn't want to share my dinner. Who am I?[/size][/color] [item=sludge sifter] won by Solstices "Ok. I think this is a better place to spend your day. I will see you tomorrow - I have to go hang out at the Marketplace. Emberglo needs simple iron wing bangles for some babes who grew up. We can't seem to get the darksteel ones any more." You thank Binder and agree - this is a much more pleasant area, the area to the southwest. And you wish her luck with her shopping! Remember: answer in a private message to our lairspirit Emberglo and GOOD LUCK! The three three three answers will appear tomorrow along with three three three randomly chosen winners and three three three new riddles. [img]https://i.imgur.com/zr5nbid.png[/img]

[size=6]Day FOUR of the Trickmurk Tri-Riddle Game. Are you ready?[/size] [img]https://i.imgur.com/SQXEwty.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/SQXEwty.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/SQXEwty.png[/img] You are sitting under a lovely green tree, protecting yourself from a light rain that started at dawn. This morning you are going to figure out exactly where you are in the maze. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=7096069] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/70961/7096069_350.png[/img] [/url] "Good Day, Riddle Solver!" "Number 9 turned out to be a TRICKY riddle while almost everyone figured out #7! These riddles are going to be much easier now that you are carefully noticing ALL the clues - easy now that you know, right?" "Oh look - here comes Cecropia." [center] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=43809833] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/438099/43809833_350.png[/img] [/url] [/center] "Hi! Binder! Hi Riddler! Have you found the riddle here yet?" You stare open-mouthed at the lovely Cecropia, then stammer an answer. "I-I just woke up and ... well, it's raining!" "Did you look up?" Cecropia points. There, tied to a branch, is one of the infamous pinecones with a riddle card. You blush, embarrassd while Binder flits up to grab it. She unfolds the card then reads the riddle. [color=#6600CC][size=5][b]Riddle Number 10:[/b] You may think I'm alone And that I'm easy prey, But everyone I've ever known Is just a shout away!!! Who am I?[/color][/size] [item=manticore screamer] won by BlackwatchGenji "Well, that one is easy to solve. Let's get out of this rain." Cecropia looks around you at all the paths. "East, I believe, will be the next direction. Let's go." The rain is softy falling. It's not too bad to walk in it but you realize, after a while, that the temperature is dropping. Slowly the rain changes to snow. "We'd better find this riddle quickly before it disappears under this blizzard," Binder remarks. "Maybe it's in that trunk." Cecropia points. Off the path a bit is a large purple chest with some glowing blue mushrooms growing on it. While you are wondering how mushrooms can survive in this weather, Binder opens the top and pulls out several items. She drops something shiny back into the chest then flits over to you. "You read it." she commands while she stashes another pinecone. [color=#009999][size=5][b]Riddle Number 11:[/b] Our hue remains and rare are we Plus smaller than our brethren be. Who am I?[/color][/size] [item=black wolf] won by Leopardmask "Let's ponder while we get out of this weather. North-east this time. C'mon - move it!" Cecropia seems eager to move on. This time it takes quite a while to get anywhere. Perhaps it wasn't that far but once the weather clears and the sun comes out, the maze is much easier to travel. "What's that structure over there?" you ask, pointing to what seems to be a large wall in the distance. The three of you wander over. While the two dragons are peering in an opening, you notice a pinecone nailed to the wall. They turn back to you as you read the clue. [color=#663399][size=5][b]Riddle Number 12:[/b] Look above you - I've so much hair. I'm not a Tundra in the air. Who am I?[/size][/color] [item=marshland poodle mith] won by LavenderAmethyst [i]"Thank you for the pinecone." Binder holds on to it while Cecropia continues to peer into the wall. "Try Northeast again." Cecropia walks into the gate, waving goodbye. "I'm going to stay here for a while. Happy trails!" Riddle Solvers, remember: answer in a private message to our lairspirit Emberglo and GOOD LUCK! The three three three answers will appear tomorrow along with three three three randomly chosen winners and three three three new riddles. [img]https://i.imgur.com/SQXEwty.png[/img]

[size=6]Day FIVE of the Trickmurk Tri-Riddle Game. HERE WE GO![/size] "Greetings, Maze Walker. Are you ready for more traveling through the maze?" [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=7096069] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/70961/7096069_350.png[/img] [/url] "Those were all EASY riddles! Almost didn't have to try too hard." You answer. "But this has been quite an adventure and I'm ready to find the end of the maze." "Not for a while yet I fear. Let's continue further north-east and see who we find to be our guide." [center] [img]http://flightrising.com/images/cms/familiar/art/26205-2.png[/img][/center] Not too far along the path you find a cute little chick. It joins you on your travels. Binder doesn't comment. "Is this little one our guide?" you ask. "No - but Sedona must be up ahead as this is his familiar phoenix, Tombstone." she answers. That didn't help much because you thought Tombstone and Sedona were mythical cities in the fantasy land of Arizona... then you spot him. He is huge! The phoenix flies over to him - not a chick any longer. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=39393939] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/393940/39393939_350.png[/img] [/url][right][img]http://flightrising.com/images/cms/familiar/art/26205-3.png[/img][/right] "Good day to you Binder and to you Maze Traveler. I found this on our path. Perhaps it is of some importance." He hands Binder a pinecone with a card attached. The tiny Nocturne - who looks even smaller next to Sedona - hands you the card. [color=#6600CC][size=5][b]Riddle Number 13:[/b] When our herd runs we leap so high That more stars shine up in the sky. Who are we?[/color][/size] [item=starry ampelope] won by dragonflare92 You notice flashes of lightning off in the distance where the sky has darkened. Does this mean more rain? You hope not. "We must travel south now. Maze Walker, if the ground becomes too hot I will carry you but I will look for an easy path. The land does change ahead." Slowly the path shifts to a black rock and strange shapes that look like they were once fluid but are now solid. The air heats and smells of sulfur. Sedona has you climb up and hold onto his tools. It's rather exciting but a bit scary too as a volcano erupts in the distance. Fortunately, very far in the distance. The phoenix flies ahead then returns carrying a slightly scorched pinecone and card which Sedona distributes to you and Binder. "Thank you Tombstone. You have saved us from a more dangerous section of the maze. The riddle is?" [color=#009999][size=5][b]Riddle Number 14:[/b] Our spell's power is found in Sornieth's crust. Our motto should be 'In volcanoes we trust!" Who are we?[/color][/size] [item=flamescale illusionist] won by Disillusionist (you rhyme!) Sedona turns south and west. The path below you hardens to a glassy lavender sheen dotted with crystals. It's really quite beautiful. Sedona leads you along the banks of a swifty flowing river. "It is safe to walk now but avoid the growths. They can be sharp." Sedona warns. Beneath an especially large formation there is a chest. It looks like the other one you found - purple with mushrooms attached. You walk over, open the chest and remove the pinecone and card. "What are these other things in the chest?" you ask. "They are not your concern." Binder answers. "Leave them for a team to discover. What is the riddle?" [color=#663399][size=5][b]Riddle Number 15:[/b] Is that a knock? There'll be one soon Then we will dance 'Neath violet moon. Who are we?[/size][/color] [item=moonbeam crayfish] won by Xilusweb "Remain here until your next guide appears. You will be quite safe if you avoid the formations and stay out of the pools." Sedona and the phoenix - who looks different again - somewhat brown and scorched -move a short distance away. You settle in beneath a large amethyst formation to read through the riddles after waving goodbye to the large Guardian and his ...egg. He opens his great wings and flies away, cradling the egg in his talons.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/zr5nbid.png[/img] [size=6]Day SIX of the Trickmurk Tri-Riddle Game. WOO HOO![/size] "Good day, Traveler. Did you rest well? Today is going to be very TRICKY to get through - very interesting sights to see. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=7096069] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/70961/7096069_350.png[/img] [/url] "I am Verity." "I am Verily." "We're from the same nest..." "So brothers we must be!" [left][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=49392152] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/493922/49392152.png[/img] [/url][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=49392153] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/493922/49392153.png[/img] [/url][/left] They are so cute! Handsome and tiny Spirals in lovely shades of purple. The two boys spin around each other, appearing for the moment like a double-headed double-tailed multi-winged Spiral. Binder spoke up. "Let's get to the maze. Spin along Boys. Southwest again." After a long walk with three dragons flying beside you, you see something odd off in the distance. It's dark in color and appears to be very high - reaching into the clouds. "What is that up ahead?" you ask. Verily - or is it Verity - answers. "We need to cross that bridge over there." "It's very steep up in the air." "Is that a cloud at the top?" The two boys spin around each other agin, this time in a ball shape. It would be funny if you weren't so nervous about that bridge. "Just hold our claws." "We'll balance you." "Sure would be easier.." "If you flew." With one Spiral on each side and Binder flying ahead, you boldly go up the bridge. It is very very steep but with the help of the two constantly chattering boys, you get through the cloud at the top. You feel a bit damp for a while - and the descent is almost as scary. "You did it - was that so hard?" "Now we must find a cone and card." The landscape is quite barren on this side of the bridge. Large rocks in tall shapes dot the landscape. Is that a cluster of bones over there? Verily - or is it Verity - spins over to what looks like a skull. From beneath it, he pulls out a pinecone and a card. His brother grabs the card and reads the riddle. [color=#6600CC][size=5][b]Riddle Number 16:[/b] Rescue me from someone's dinner Then bond with me 'coz you're the winner. Who am I?[/color][/size] [item=dodo] won by sidegrinder The brother's spin around each other, repeating the riddle. Binder rolls her eyes at you as you take the southwest path. The large rocks change into huge moving gears. They are a bit frightening, just spinning slowly. Long cables stretch between them. The ground appears to be a huge blue rug. Verily - or is it Verity - reaches into a hole in the rug and pulls out a pinecone and a card. His brother grabs the card and reads this riddle. [color=#009999][size=5][b]Riddle Number 17:[/b] Let me fix that! I promise not to break it. But if I do then just for you I promise I'll re-make it! Who am I?[/color][/size] [item=monkey wrench] won by sgkat The brothers find this hilarious, and tail in mouth, roll long the ground looking like big hoops. Binder shakes her head as you move east - to the sea. You assume you will walk along the beach like that other place but no - Binder dives right in! "Don't worry yourself." "We know it's wet." "But you'll be fine - it's..." "the best place yet!" Luckily, you know Sornieth is a very magical place so you follow the two Spirals into the water. They are right - you are fine. "It's fun in here." "And you don't need" "to chomp a piece." "Of gillyweed!" The two boys swim along, looking like purple eels. Binder reaches into a clump of seaweed and finds the pinecone and card. She hands you the riddle while the boys swim around you. [color=#663399][size=5][b]Riddle Number 18:[/b] It's time to eat So won't you share? There's poison in it If you dare. Who am I?[/size][/color] [item=corrosive depin] won by Yuubi After the riddle is read, the boys announce that they won't be traveling the maze with you any further. "We've fish to chase." "And bubbles to pop." "So go north east." "Don't stop - don't stop!" You and Binder swim on to the opposite edge of the sea. You emerge almost dry - you thought you'd be soaked! Well, contrary to what those silly Spirals said, you stop and rest for the day. This was exhausting! Remember: answer in a private message to our lairspirit Emberglo and GOOD LUCK! The three three three answers will appear tomorrow along with three three three randomly chosen winners and three three three new riddles."[/i] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/zr5nbid.png[/img][/center]

[size=6]Day SEVEN of the Trickmurk Tri-Riddle Game - the last riddle day![/size] You are wide awake this morning, sitting on the north east path waiting for the little Nocturne and today's guide. Look at the size of him!!! He must be ... more than 25M long! Tiny Binder doesn't even look like a dragon next to him. "Those three three three riddles were tough! OK - not really... you are getting too good at riddles as well as using the other clues."

He is the artist who has made all the badges for the maze travels. I asked him to be our guide to the end of the maze." [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=42489471] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/424895/42489471_350.png[/img] [/url] "Thank you, Binder. I am so pleased to be here. I should be able to SEE my way out of here, don't you think?" You all continue in a north east direction. Soon the ground becomes soggy - it's difficult to slog though the muck that's almost pulling your shoes from your feet. Tall green trees with long strands of moss surround you. There's so much green - even the air breathes green! Chakra points to a purple chest off in the distance. There is a collection of fierce looking cats swarming over it. The Imperial charges, scaring them off. He pulls several pinecones and yet another card from the chest. "Let's move down this westerly road out of here. Those felines might return with many of their friends." Binder gathers the pinecones while you read the riddle. [color=#6600CC][size=5][b]Riddle Number 19:[/b] Time for a nap so hear my plea. I'll hold my breath - don't step on me! Who am I?[/color][/size] [item=southmarsh podid] won by Kisk The landscape changes. Lush greens switch over to dark thorny brambles and foliage that looks very mysterious. It glows with a fluorescent tint under the ominous purple sky. Even though there should be daylight, the violet moons are visible in the sky. Chakra and Binder don't seem worried. In fact, Binder seems quite excited, flittering around. She mumbles something about hoping for a glimpse of 'Mum.' "Let's look in that bulding." Chakra walks boldly into a crumbling ruin of a structure. Against one wall is a pile of pinecones and - yes - there's a riddle card. [color=#009999][size=5][b]Riddle Number 20:[/b] We'll wait for weeks to have our feast On patient perch o'er dying beast. Who are we? [/size][/color] [item=tatterwing carcass] won by Violetwhirlwind Well, that's spooky. Chakra and Binder are walking around the ruin, peering through doors, windows and holes in the walls. Chakra picks up a large cluster of glowing blue mushrooms. "Stand there, Maze Traveler. We are at the end of the maze - but we must find the correct gateway or be forever lost to wander..." Finally Chakra and Binder find the gate they are looking for - which appears to you to be just the same as all the other windows, doors and random openings. "Climb up on me. Binder will perch behind you. We must use the portal together. Ready?" Chakra throws the shrooms into the opening, which flashes a bright orchid light as Chakra runs through. When you open your eyes, you are at ... well - what a surprise! It's the Trickmurk Circus! Binder hovers in front of a booth. She is piling all the pinecones you gathered through the maze up onto the counter. When the stack is quite tall - and threatening to spill - the booth attendant hands her a card. She hands it to you. [color=#663399][size=5][b]Riddle Number 21:[/b] Trade for tree parts? That's not too hard. Pick a tarot - I'll read your card. Who am I?[/size][/color] [item=murkmirth ambassador] won by Lundlaeva Chakra bids you goodbye. You thank him profusely for helping you out of the maze and for making all the badges. You promise to check out his mandela shop! [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/p8lltd9.png[/img][/center] Binder turns toward you. You wonder - is it polite to hug a dragon? Never mind polite - you fold her in your arms and squeeze. You feel her talons, carefully not doing any harm, return the hug. "Thank you so much, Binder. This was quite an adventure!" Binder laughs and flies away. You decide to explore the circus. As you walk you realize - you forgot to ask Chakra if he could see through all those eyes!

[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/INRtZXx.png[/img][/center] You had a great time at the Trickmurk Circus. In fact - but don't admit it to anyone - you had fun in the maze. You see youur Riddle Master, Binder and wave at her. She is with her mate, Shadow, who has a bunch of items strapped to his back. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=7096069] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/70961/7096069_350.png[/img] [/url] "Those three three three riddles were tough! Well, at least that last one. Most of the guessers did get it though, so it was a good riddle. And most of them got it on their first try! We had 427 answered riddles!" You laugh. "Well, I know you like to be TRICKY, Binder." "Did you figure out that all the answers were familiars - and Shadow or neutral as well?" "Oh!" you exclaim. "That's who was dropping all the pinecones and chests." "Yes. They also showed up in their coliseum venue, of course." "I knew something was happening." You scratch your head. "So, if I may be so bold, was the 'Maze' the Coliseum venues?" "It certainly was. If you begin at the beginning, in the Training Fields and then move south, you get to the Blooming Grove, then northeast to the Woodland Path." "And that scary bridge - that was the jump between the Crystal Pools and Harpy's Roost! Now I see it all!" [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=39732363] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/397324/39732363_350.png[/img] [/url] "Even the badges were clues." Shadow spoke up. "The center was the first venue of the day, then the next section the second." "And the outer edges were the third! I wondered why they were so bright and colorful!" "Yes, Chakra was quite proud of the bridge in his Day 6 creation. And the kelp plants on the edges." "So now it is time for prizes, You had 8 Riddle Guessers helping you who answered all 21 riddles correctly! And several more who missed only one or two. Here are the prizes." Shadow and Binder took all the items Shadow had been carrying and organized the critters into a row. "You know how this works. First Place chooses their prize, second place chooses 2 in order of preference, third place chooses three and so on." "Binder and I will be delivering the prizes as they are chosen. All ready?" "Oh look - they are all familiars!" "Yes, but a wide range - not just Shadow, neutral or even from the coli. Shadow spent the week playing at all the booths at the circus and collecting these. But he already has his familiar Belfry so he is giving these away to our winners." "Congratulations!" you exclaim as you go over to look at the familiars. They're all excited - it's like being 'rescued' to a new home! "I hope you find great dragons to bond with in a wonderful lair!" "We will leave you to hand out these prizes. We have to go off to the marketplace again - Binder is still looking for those wing bangles. See you next year, Riddler!"
