[Xellos floats lazily, resting on air, eyes closed, seemingly having a nap. He stretches a moment, and then sits cross-legged in the air]

A question for all of those involved with magic in their respective worlds, how exactly does it work where you are from? Things always seem to work slightly differently in each new place, and of course there is always plenty of room for creative individuals to revolutionize its practice. If you would be so kind, I'd greatly appreciate it.

[He holds his chin, with a curious expression on his face]

For those lacking in magical talents, two simple riddles.

One tooth to bite,
he's the forests foe.
One tooth to fight,
as all Norse know.

What is it?

A man is six feet tall, is a clerk at a butcher shop, and wears size 11 shoes.

What does he weigh?

Mmmmmmnh? What do you mean?

[Mildly curious]

Re: video

[athermercy]

If you have another riddle. Shoot.

video

[that_is_asecret]

Ah, it seemed as though you didn't want one.

[He pauses for a second]

A white dove flew down by the castle. Along came a king and picked it up handless, ate it up toothless, and carried it away wingless.

video

[athermercy]

Who do want me to answer what is the dove or what is the king?

video

[that_is_asecret]

Describe what is happening overall.

video

[athermercy]

The sun is melting the snow.

video/hooray for stealing.

[that_is_asecret]

Very good.

[He pauses and thinks for a moment]

One warrior with a sword stands in a room with three men. The king, a high priest, and a rich merchant. Each tells the warrior to kill the other two. Who does the warrior choose?

video lmao /had a list of lots of riddles when I played Julian of Forbidden game

[athermercy]

That's a trick one. Because that would depend what the warrior follows, wouldn't it?

If they are loyal to the ruler, to their religion or are simply looking for compensation to live another day.

It would of course, it is also a warning of sorts underneath. Even the greatest of individuals can be brought down if they are not careful and prudent.

video

[athermercy]

Well, that's obvious. In the end, the one with the sword has the real power in those circumstances.

video

[that_is_asecret]

Yes, but without direction power is pointless.

video

[athermercy]

I guess so, but some tribes let their warriors lead.

video

[that_is_asecret]

Some do, but it is much easier to scatter such groups.

video

[athermercy]

Depends how the group is like. The Lilim seem to be strong and organized in this manner.

video

[that_is_asecret]

Not familiar with them myself. Most of the nations within my world are rather fragile ultimately.

video

[athermercy]

Really? They don't last long?

video

[that_is_asecret]

Well, there is the typical infighting and war that goes on, but of course you also have Lina Inverse.

video

[athermercy]

Is she important?

video

[that_is_asecret]

It depends on her motivation. She is generally content to amass wealth, though if she is angered she is rather destructive and has demolished several towns.
