heRO Riddle Event 2008

[GM-Ayu]

An on-going event exclusive to heRO's forum section for the brilliant, the scholarly and the just plain lucky.

In this thread, I'll be asking difficult riddles specifically related to RO or heRO, and those who answer it correctly will win prizes! Here is how it works:

I ask a riddle, and you have to PM me your answer through the forum, with the title "Riddle" and inside your *1* answer and your in-game name. Answers posted in this thread instead of forum PMs will be ignored. Only post in this thread if you have questions, comments, and/or suggestions about this event.

Note: you cannot change your answer in your PM, unless I made a mistake in the original question. That is the only time you can change your answer, and I will inform everyone when this occurs.

How does this work?

From the moment I post the riddle on the forum you have 24h to pm me your answers. After 24h, all the people with the correct answer win. If no one has gotten the correct answer after 24h, I will add a clue and there will be a new 24h to send another answer.

Riddles are always centered around RO and heRO. An answer to a riddle can be any of the following:
-a monster in RO (including heRO customs, and up to ep 12 monsters)
-an item (including heRO customs, and up to ep 12 items)
-a NPC name (including heRO customs, and up to ep 12 NPCs)
-a GM name (Pandora, Loki, Mystra, Aki, Auron, Ayu)
-a RO location name (including heRO customs)
-a RO skill name (including the homunculus' name, and their skills)

The riddle is blue is the current riddle open to answers. Riddles in gray are old riddles from the past, with the answer typed out in beige.

What is the prize?

Each riddle will have a prize of 1 mil zeny which will be divided among all the winners. For example, if 5 people got it right, then those 5 people will each get 200k. If only one person got it right, then that one person will take home all 1 mil zeny.

In addition, each winner to a riddle will receive an additional small prize that will vary for each riddle along, such as a giftbox, old blue box, oridecon or elunium.

Bonus Old Purple Boxes are rewarded to those who can get the correct answer to a riddle consecutively three times in a row, but this is no easy feat at all


Let the riddles begin!
