Subj: Tri-Forest Festival Riddle!

Hello, folks!
Tow has sent in a lovely riddle for all three guilds to stump themselves on. It does look like a doozy! Good luck figuring this one out ;)

The Drunken Sentinel Riddle

The sun was burning my head,
why didn't I return sooner to my bed
Maybe I smoked to much weed
or drunk to much mead
My throat was so dry
If only I found something to drink
tequila or champagne for you?
Just a single drop of water would do
I even started getting visions of a butler and a bar
so I turned around and wandered far
Visions of red eyed owls
and trees with a door within
Unlocked and so I went in
and all the heat was gone
Cold shivers running over my spine
That butler gave me some bad wine?
All was dark and I fell asleep
But when I woke up and crawled out
Out of the Darkness
The tree was still there
giving shadow to hide in from the blistering sun
As my hangover just begun
Please send me the weight of this tree
So I know it wasn't just a vision of drunk me!


Have fun!

Subj: Drunken Sentinel Riddle

Hello -again-, folks!
Just wanted to announce the two winners of the Drunken Sentinel Riddle, Delphinus was first, and Krypton came in second.

The answer to the riddle was 1875 pounds, the weight of the tree found outside Lord Twilight's obelisk, which has been moved to the Desert. Tow thought it might be a good way to let us all know where His temple was now, for those who didn't know. It was news to me, so thanks for the riddle, Tow!

Congratulations to the winners, and thanks for playin!
