Oblivion Trivia!!!

[Argonanza]

I want to say the Mace of Molag Bal, because of the incorrect durations on its enchantment in unmodded Oblivion being zero seconds, hence "not a moment to spare."

Wrong. But you're on the right track!

[Khajiit *Nyao*]

Rose of Sithis.

The Cursed Mace makes you die slowly. Also, Melus Petilius can die as
soon as the quest is started, so you don't have a moment to spare, so
to speak.

Alternatively, the Sanguine Rose can, indirectly, make an enemy die
slowly because of its effect. And there's also no moment to spare if
you already completed the Ahdarji's Heirloom quest before starting
Sanguine's quest.

[Argonanza]

All is wrong.

[Lotet]

Truncheon of Submission?

+1 to Post Count

[Argonanza]

Nay, that is wrong too.

[azuarc]

Two fairly random guesses:

Skull of Corruption
Volendrung

[Argonanza]

Sorry, but those are wrong too.

[DerangedPickle]

It's not the lava pits in Paradise is it?

I'm just thinking because of the die slowly part.

[Argonanza]

That's wrong. You shouldn't take the die slowly part too seriously. Focus more on the without a moment to spare part.

[DerangedPickle]

The staff of worms? One of the crusader weapons?

[Argonanza]

Nay, wrong again.

[Dean]

Okay, Argonanaza, you need to start giving 'big' clues out now. You have like 20 posts saying Wrong, and that is not good.

[The Raven]

Blade of Woe?
Nerveshatterer?

[Troll smasher]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh is it one of the swords that you find in the vamprie quest (i think it is that quest) again i cant remeber what it is called

[The Red Robin]

I'm heads and tails, better than both.
With not a moment to spare, I make you die slowly.
Thanks to my might, you are toast.

Line 1: This item is made of two things, yet at the same time it is better than both components.
Line 2: Oxymoronic. When utmost haste is required, the item takes a long time to do its job.
Line 3: Powerful. Spells death for the target / Inflicts fire damage.

The Blackwood Ring of Silence fits Lines 2 and 3. When the player equips the ring, they suffer 150 pts of damage per second. This means that for higher leveled players, it could take 3 or 4 seconds to die. It inflicts fire damage.

THE RAVEN IS RIGHT, IT'S NERVESHATTER!

I'm heads and tails, better than both - It's made from both amber and madness ore, and is stronger than any of the amber/madness weapons.
With not a moment to spare, I make you die slowly - The weakness to shock effect is set at 0 seconds, which make you die slow-er than if it was fset at 1.
Thanks to my might, you are toast - It's one of the most powerful weapons in game, and shock damage.

My next one won't be that hard, I promise!

[The Raven]

Yay.

I'll pass.

[T PoPTartZz T]

I do hope this isn't too easy...

Rats, and sheep, and cats, oh my!
Name someone better than you? 'Tis I!
And if I die before I wake,
To the foxhole I'll escape!
To see me here, or see me there,
Soon I won't be anywhere!
Want straight answers? I'll keep you guessing.
Visit Skingrad to get Father's blessing.

It made me think of so many things.
Sheogorath's quest, Lazare Milvan/Sheogorath, Arkved, Blackwater Brigade, Maiq, J'skar, Maiq, Julianos.

But really i have no idea -_-

[Red Guardian]

When I was reading it I thought about Sheogorath as well.

[The Raven]

The line
"If I die, before I wake"
made me think of Henantier's Dream World quest.

[Argonanza]

Grrrrrraayyy Ffffffox...?

[azuarc]

Sheogorath and Grey Fox already guessed. =x

The last line is the one that's most troubling. I'm going through all of Skingrad's males to try to figure out who father could be. The patron of Skingrad's temple is Julianos, which wouldn't be "father." I get the impression the answer to this riddle might not be completely straightforward. I'm not well-steeped in all the book contents -- is there something there?

[T PoPTartZz T]

So far, no one's got it. But, azuarc is on the right track.
