Licorice. It has taste, and the name sounds really funny when you think about it.

A worm with rigor mortis.

I made this one up the other day. I thought it was pretty clever but you'll have to be the judge of that.

---
There was once a man who found a magical sextant. If he looked through it, it could show him incredible things, but the sextant could speak. It told the man he may only see 3 things, but the sextant could show him anything. Only you alone may see what I can show you.

The man understood, and without a second though he wished to see the secret methods of warfare and statehood.

The genie revealed to the man these secrets, and the man became a king. He enjoyed many years of prosperity in the kingdom

Then the man grew old, and he dug out the sextant and looked through it again. He told the sextant to show him something that would make him eternally young.

The secret of youth worked, and the eternal king was happy again- but only the man could benefit from it, he could not share this vision, this great truth with others. His family grew old and died around him while he continued to rule for many long years.

Finally, many heavy years later, the man now picked up the sextant again, and asked it to see something. The sextant obliged, and the man fell down dead.

What did the man ask to see?

>>51844166
The end.

>>51844219

Not exactly the answer I had come up with, but I'd accept that too.

The actual solution I had though of was He asked to see his family again

I've never heard of underground ice, but I'm sure it exists in some form. If you're being metaphorical, if you see snow or frost melt and seep into the soil you may imagine that it has "gone to sleep".

>>51845900
Dragons sleep beneath the ground and on mountaintops, and presumably kill giants. Chinese dragons in particular are spiritually associated with rivers, rain, and other such sources of flowing water. Ergo, Chinese river dragon.

A sphinx's riddle is a magical wager - the loser cannot oppose the winner for some duration. While sphinxes are formidable foes even without this advantage, they often use them to avoid chance of injury.
It's common, but not universal, that a sphinx who isn't very hungry will allow graceful acceptance of defeat (turning away from their guarded object) to live, whereas most will take full advantage of not acknowledging one's defeat (brushing past the sphinx without answering their challenge).
The wager can come in other forms as well, such as chess, cribbage, a staring contest, (depending on setting, a Pokemon battle) etc. One particularly lustful sphinx is known to challenge intruders to see who can sexually satisfy the other first. She is undefeated.

So what you're saying is you'd be stuck in the sphinx until the acid finally gets to you? Hmm...

>>51850742
>rough
Nothing a bit of minmaxing and buffs won't fix.
Take 20, Twinray Empowered Maximized Cat's Grace, natural bonuses etc.

>>51850765
You'd still need to be able to cast all the protection spells on yourself, as it would be a show of consent far greater than could be refused by the sphinx.

>>51850804
Contingency: eaten by a sphinx.
Also, don't take seriously the Cat's Grace comment - it's just a bit of an in-joke in our group.

And if she eats someone else, you're stuck in there with a slowly-digesting corpse.

>>51850910
Would a person really fit through the small intestine of a Large creature? I could see it if she were a couple categories bigger, but small intestines are pretty, well, small.

>>51850528
Not what I meant but I like where it went

>>51850897
Honestly if you can afford all that you need teleporting is probably well within your means

Alternatively with a large enough sphinx you could just wait to pass despite what >>51850910 says

>I travel the world yet i never move
>all see me yet i see nothing
>all know me yet i know nothing

>>51850937
DC 60, repeated checks.

Hey Sphinx.
It's long
It's hard
And I can feel it when I dig into my pocket.
What is it?

(It's the economical crisis)

>>51850943
That's assuming her body won't resist and push back on a failure. You'd need really good chances on that 60.
Though, >>51850940 is right; at that level of equipment and skill, you probably have other ways of getting out.
>sphinx is constantly bothered by a high-level adventurer with a vore fetish
>he never answers her riddles right

Depends on which economical wave we're talking about, e.g., Kitchin, Juglar, Kuznets or Kondratiev cycle.

I just threw this together.
Not a sword any longer,
Making men ever stronger,
Poor serfs fear lack and glut
But still use me, I am what?

>>51851081
Knife.

>>51851081
First thing I thought of was a plow, because of the whole "beating swords into ploughshares" thing.

>>51851268
Booyah. Well done.

>>51851275
Nifty. Though, if you don't know that phrase, it becomes really ambiguous. It's like how filename threads get increasingly meta; almost nobody would expect the answer to "kilgrave in a ketchup bottle" to be "cabin in the woods."

>>51848006
Nope, I'll leave this one unanswered til the end of the day. My grandma told it to me when I was younger

>>51850072
Do sphinxes accept guitar duel challenges or light Saber battles?

>>51850658
Eh, not really, just need something that gives decent DR

>>51850663
>>51850678
A homebrewn ring is probably better, I think one of the books has rules for just slapping DR on a magic item, slap on acid resistance as well and maybe something like sustenance if you plan to be there long term and you're good to go

>>51851035
As a filthy vorefag I'd actually prefer a bit of a different scenario
>Adventurer hitting on sphinx
>She's annoyed at first but seems to start to warm up after a bit
>Eventually asks him a really lewd riddle
>It actually has a completely nonlewd answer and it wasn't innuendo when she said she'd "Eat~" him if he failed
>After a bit of taunting about how he'd really think she'd fuck him she eats him
>Jokes on her, he came prepared and vore and monsterfucking are his fetish so either way that'd go good for him
Though I don't know what ending I find more amusing, the idea that the adventurer realizing he didn't have a plan to get out and is now trapped in a a cat's gut or the idea that it ends with him washing up in a stream near a very embarrassed sphinx while he still hits on her despite her having just passed him

But this is probably getting far too /d/ for this thread

>>51838767
Well technically they are, but I don't get it either. I get the first part, but the second makes no sense. The riddle is unfounded because if you don't become an orphan no one will cry

>>51839169
Anon says Orphan. But I think anon is retarded so

>>51850941
The sun or the moon I think

>>51838612
>>51838695
That riddle might actually work in another language.

>>51837948

It plays with the child, and the child wards it off with toys. It works with the adult, and the adult drives it away with tools. It talks with the old, and the old exiles it with words. Without words, the old will think of his losses, and it dares not bother him. Without work, the adult will think of his future, and it sees better than to mess with him. Without toys, it stands by the child, and shows him where to find more toys. Yet it makes the devil's playthings.

What is it?

>and another one

Empty words, falsehoods and lies, or so is said. Fed by and fed upon by madmen, their hair covered in glittering metal, their mind twisted by what may or may not be there. We're not allowed to look, but stranger things have happened. Maybe there is method to this madness.

>>51852542
>>51852527

Yep. I was looking for ennui, but, eh. Semantics.

Here's another one, more contemporary...

It shares it's make with swords, with plowshares, with war cries, yet it sheds no blood, carves no earth nor will it strike fear in the hearts of men. It growls, like a tortured beast, it screams like a slighted fury, it gibbers like a raving lunatic. Yet it also boasts like a valorous hero, howls like a noble hound, commands like a stalwart king.

The difference between their ages is 1/3 of the prince's present age. If he is currently 6, she is currently 8. If he is currently 12, she is currently 16.

>It's his fetish to be swallowed whole.
>she tears him to shreds relishing in his agony and his own realization that sexualizing literally being eaten alive was a bad idea.

I would assume DR high enough to survive digestion would probably minimize damage during eating, though unless it's a HUGE sphinx it'll probably try to tear him apart

>>51856391
Actually that makes me wonder, if a sphinx (or any other monster) rips you apart and eats you, and you have contingent resurrection, do you resurrect inside it?

It's also really dumb if it's nothing because there are many things that people are willing to die for, things that they obviously love more than their own lives.

>>51861700
I suppose that's true, though rather than just him die I'd prefer he had enough foresight to get acid resistance but not think any further than that

Does acid resistance affect corpses? Because (going away from strict RAW) someone eaten and undigestible will probably die from malnutrition or dehydration. Does their body just stay there until the sphinx manages to regurgitate or pass it?

Yes

A King and his son are walking through the woods when they encounter two sets of footprints. Being of royal upbringing they recognize the footprints as those of royalty, and both female. The King and prince decide that they will follow the footprints and marry the women who made them. Being the ruler, the king declares he will marry the woman who made the larger set of prints. The two men follow the footprints and meet the two women, however, it turns out the woman with the SMALLER footprints is a queen and the woman with the larger set of footprints is her daughter, a princess. Being of noble upbringing the two men honor their agreement, the king marries the princess and the prince marries the queen.

Who becomes ruler of the land?

>>51867669
All of them - the king and princess of his old country, and the prince and queen of the one they visited.
