I spy, with my little eye,
What everyone sees about your guy.
I'm kind of like Big Brother that way.
I keep tabs on you through night and day.
If they see you, I'm sure to know,
So do take care if you see the glow.
But if there's no one there to find,
You're perfectly safe, as I've gone blind.
I don't know why, but I immediately thought of the sneaking eye you get when you're in sneak mode. :lol:

Edit: Ahahaha. Thought to of the sneaking eye? I swear, English is my primary language and I haven't been drinking! :oops: So yeah, just had to clean that typo up. :P

That would be because it's the right answer.

Just a short little time-killer:

Oh ladies of the woods,
A dance amongst your gardens?
But, oh, alas,
No boys allowed.

Spriggan was the obvious answer. With that ruled out, I'm not so sure. If you have OOO installed, there is a segment of the cave-dwelling population that are a tribe of amazons, the leader of who is named Voice of the Woods or something like that. I seriously doubt the answer revolves around mod content that the console users wouldn't have, however.

I'm suspecting it has to do with the group of wandering druids that you occasionally bump into near waystones. I have no idea what they're called or why/how you meet them, only that I've encountered them near the Dibella wayshrine outside Chorrol, and occasionally elsewhere.

Not another of your master riddles :P

I first thought of the Dark Seducers / Golden Saints, but some of them are male.

The "no boys allowed" part is a bit weird (why not 'males'), because there are no children in Oblivion.

Just a random guess:

The first two lines could be a metaphor. "No boys allowed" means that you have to be mature, an adult male, or you won't be allowed to "enter".

damn I really don't know...

female Wood Elves in general?

Actually, it wasn't meant to be hard, but, then, I thought the last one would be easy. :lol:

Anyway, the "no boys allowed" line doesn't refer to any hard and fast rules, just a general....lack of boys.

Also, I'll say it refers to vanilla Oblivion, no DLCs.

Nope. I'll also say the woods and gardens mentioned are literal.

Nocturnal has a male worshipper. It could be either of the other two.

We might also want to look at the Elven Gardens, although that doesn't seem likely. Paradise's entry area is also referred to as the Garden, and is a *little* more woodsy than a city.

Other than the Sirens and arguably the shrines, the only other place I can think of that somewhat explicitly is women only is the Bravil mages guild. The only guy who remotely appears to be part of the guild has a house outside and steals the staff of one of the other members.

I can't think of anywhere that involves dancing, so I'm assuming that's just figurative.


Taters, riddles never seem especially hard to the person writing them. Short ones like your's tend to either be very obvious by some giveaway clue or they are very difficult because there isn't much detail to them. Considering this one is rather vague...women and no men, in woods/gardens...it's hard to know exactly what you were shooting for. Somebody will get it eventually, but not immediately.

I must've missed the male Nocturnal worshipper :oops: I immediately thought of Elven Gardens, but there are a bunch of men around there. The male at the Bravil Mages Guild is actually a Thieves Guild member, but Henantier is also a member there, although he does also have a house outside. I can't quite recall the entry to Paradise, but if I remember correctly there were some men there.

I think the reason that they are so hard is because they have multiple answers. There's only one 'right' answer of course but the riddle can apply to a lot of things. Like your previous riddle where my guess was "the player character".

That's both a bad and a good thing :D.

Yay! I solved a riddle. :)

Wrapped in darkness.
Directions and assistance.
Did you see a glint of gold?
I die before the end.

Who am I?


If it's to vague just say so and I will try to expand it, riddle making is not my strong point. :P

Is it Ocheeva?

Wrapped in darkness. = She is part of Dark Brotherhood and wears the DB clothes.
Directions and assistance. = She provides contracts.
Did you see a glint of gold? = Carries a leveled amount of gold.
Spoiler:
I die before the end. = You kill her in Purification.
Then again, it could be any of the DB.

It is not, but that is a very good attempt. It makes it clear that my riddle needs some expanding.

Peaceful amongst the armed.
Never did I raise my fists.
Strong in faith but weak in body.
Heretics slew me.

Who am I?
