A Dunmer would punch me in the face
For my pronunciation issues.
I am out to get people
Who choose sacks over cupboards.

Karliah?

Norroen Dyrd · **Posted:** Sun Mar 24, 2013 12:28 pm

Nay.

Hint:
In the second part of the riddle, I used a trope known as metonymy. :wink:

Round things over square or rectangle ones?

Norroen Dyrd · **Posted:** Sun Mar 24, 2013 5:15 pm

You are leading yourself far, far away... :wink:

Delvin Mallory

Mjoll? She has grammatical errors and she's out for the thieves guild whom are after sacks of gold.

Norroen Dyrd · **Posted:** Mon Mar 25, 2013 5:47 am

All wrong.

I'll make another hint: the subject has issues with word stress in a rather important case.

Ulfric?

Norroen Dyrd · **Posted:** Mon Mar 25, 2013 12:32 pm

Nay.

What about Rikke?

Norroen Dyrd · **Posted:** Mon Mar 25, 2013 1:18 pm

Nope.

JVElEven · **Posted:** Mon Mar 25, 2013 1:38 pm

It's either that insufferable Rolf something you can brawl in Windhelm, or Viola Giordano.

Is it a Bandit?
The "sacks over cupboards" line could be a reference to travellers, and bandits are definitely out to get travellers.

Norroen Dyrd · **Posted:** Mon Mar 25, 2013 4:23 pm

No correct guesses so far.

I'm adding a line:

I am the same old story, but in reverse.
A Dunmer would punch me in the face
For my pronunciation issues.
I am out to get people
Who choose sacks over cupboards.

Gandalf · **Posted:** Mon Mar 25, 2013 5:37 pm

Potentially someone who goes from hero to prisoner, then...

Norroen Dyrd · **Posted:** Mon Mar 25, 2013 7:56 pm

Wrong and far off.

Archer · **Posted:** Mon Mar 25, 2013 8:55 pm

Respawn rates?

No need to be capricious. My riddles are very easy compared to the ones we used to solve in the Trivia threads. :Twisted Evil:

No correct guesses.

Repost, with a sum-up of all my hints:

I am the same old story, but in reverse.
A Dunmer would punch me in the face
For my pronunciation issues.
I am out to get people
Who choose sacks over cupboards.

The third lines implies word stress.
The last line employs the use of a literary device known as metonymy.

Emzi 43 · **Posted:** Tue Mar 26, 2013 4:11 pm

Apologies. So by sacks and cupboards you mean two different things, like the masque over the rueful axe?

Norroen Dyrd · **Posted:** Tue Mar 26, 2013 4:31 pm

If the metonymy makes finding the answer harder, you could focus on other lines, which also contain clues. :wink:

BetaB17 · **Posted:** Tue Mar 26, 2013 5:33 pm

Rolff Stone-Fist or Angrenor Once-Honored? Ik way too obvious to be right, but it never could hurt?
