One clue it too general, though I'm told it fits one character better than others. As always, my problems are not that I haven't spent much time or that I haven't reread the books in a few years now... I blame you lot. i am also missing 2...one of which i am pretty sure is yours and i hate fucking riddles they intrude on my buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be aware that other voyagers might dock in the same place as you. They might try to collect the bounty on your heads and use it to bargain for the removal of the bounty on their own heads. Huntress and Mad Prendos are believed to be docking at Lys, each for rather different reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolorous Gabe Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 PASSAGE TWO ANSWERS 1 Warrior's bitterness with pater forces distance. Jaime Lannister 2 Staffed escort thoroughly trounces illegitimate. Barristan Selmy 3 Wine blends with philematologist's frock divinely. Thoros of Myr 4 Who bargained with peaches for death? Renly Baratheon 5 Weary bespangled warrior postpones fishy death. Beric Dondarrion 6 Sniggering escort treats teammate insolently. Meryn Trant 7 Wicked big warrior. Putrefied fiendish defender. Gregor Clegane Theme: Characters that competed in the joust at The Hand's Tourney I used some equestrian terminology in many of my posts as vague hints, also using the Dothraki words for travelling by sea, and also often used the term “lists” which is related to jousting. The riddle was a hint to two more clues hidden in the thread in the post on page 3 with the Round 2 acronyms. They are hidden by my choosing white as the text colour. See below: On 21/09/2017 at 3:02 PM, Dolorous Gabe said: Your First Mate will bring the following to your attention shortly. Round Two Acronyms W B W P F D S E T T I Your First Mate will also reveal to you that he/she has stowed a secret passenger onboard. This is your new character assignment for the next round. TWO EXTRA CLUES FOR R2 ARE HIDDEN HERE Sundown ends this tutelar's infatuations Weary blasphemer's wayward path finds deliverance But do not forget your other passenger, the one delivered to you for R1. This character can still help you. Take out your map of Westeros and Essos, plot your course, find your destination. Make sure to let me know where you will dock your ship before the end of Passage One. A couple of players actually mentioned they would have expected Loras Tyrell and Sandor Clegane to be in this theme. They were: I just decided to have some fun with it and hide them! @jezzie_bell was the only player, AFAIK, to find these clues. They do not carry points. They were simply meant to help with the theme. Please complete your new clue for R3 and vote for your favourite clue of R2 by Monday 9th October at 1pm UK time (so really by the end of Sunday for those Stateside).

I'm proud that I actually reached the (alternative) conclusion that the riddle might mean simply "white", but then I thought it was reference to the Kingsguard and got a bit confused by the fact that there were more than two Kingsguard members among my guesses. Eventually, I had to accept the fact that it was easier to solve the clues and the theme than DG's riddle. BTW... Has there ever been a riddle game on this forum? Would there be any interest in such a game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
