The horse rider couriers outside leyawin, chorrol, in of ill omen, and anvil.

It has to be! The couriers never visits Skingrad and Bravil1

Ayoub · Post by **Ayoub** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 10:27 pm

I believe they are female bretons. And the horses are black!

v. close.

Not the Khajiits.

That's sort of what the "We deliver all the time" is refering to, but it covers alot more than that.

As I said before, think of the colours.....

FINAL ANSWER:

The Black Horse Courier. The women who deliver it cannot be named, they are just four breton females, that never visit Bravil or Skingrad, they ride horses that are "black as night" and they offer free news. And their skin is bright white (the womens')

Nope, not Black Horse Courier. But related to that.

What do you roast over an open fire, esp at this time of yr?....

Yes!!!

Or not!!!!

Chestnuts was what I was thinking!!!

Codex · Post by **Codex** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 10:53 pm

So chestnuts is the answer

Deandra · Post by **Deandra** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 10:55 pm

No, silly, HORSES is the answer!

We are cheap up in the frozen north and the swampy south = paint horses in Leyawin
Don't look at me, I didn't eat! = Wild chestnut horses maybe? I don't know this one
Bright white what a vision = Anvil horse, or maybe the unicorn?
Bravil and Skingrad will just rip you off so don't even bother = Bay horses
Black as night we would win = Cheydinhal blacks
I give to you freely in the hope of it being of service to you = Prior Maborel's
You may be thinking "roasting in the fire", but we are too fragile for that = Chestnut horses
Earn me if you dare = Shadowmere

Cor you lot are difficult to lead up the garden path!!!!

Deandra is right!!

And who are all those that are involved, for your bonus piece of cheese?!

Codex · Post by **Codex** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 10:56 pm

Duh, chestnut stable... I know they are horses lol

weka · Post by **weka** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 10:57 pm

Ok, jeff got the full details as I was posting, but really it was Deandra with the first correct answer, so she gets to go next, jeff just gets an extra piece of mouldy old cheese!

Jeff · Post by **Jeff** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 10:57 pm

We posted at the same time, Deandra gets the question, I get the cheese for the link...

Deandra · Post by **Deandra** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 11:00 pm

Hehe I was editing my answer for detail when the rest of you all posted. Yay I get to make up a question!

Jeff · Post by **Jeff** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 11:01 pm

That is weird, I post at the same time as Deandra, then my nest post is the same time as weka...

weka · Post by **weka** » Thu Nov 15, 2007 11:07 pm

We are cheap up in the frozen north and the swampy south
- Bravil and Leyawiin stables sell the v. cheap Paint horses.

Don't look at me, I didn't eat!
The orc at the IC stables that apparently ate all the previous horses.

Bright white what a vision
White horses, available at Anvil

Bravil and Skingrad will just rip you off so don't even bother
Bay horses available in Bravil and Skingrad, but not worth the money they ask for them.

Black as night we would win
Black horses are fastest.

I give to you freely in the hope of it being of service to you
Prior Mabel giving you his Paint horse.

You may be thinking "roasting in the fire", but we are too fragile for that
Chestnut horses, low health, damage easily!

Earn me if you dare
Shadowmere of course!

We can run free, but you won't own me
The wild horses south of IC, you can't "domesticate" them.

We deliver all the time
As codex (almost!) correctly guessed, the Black horses used by the couriers.

Plod, plod
The Legion on their horses, they plod along slow, and really they're also the policeman-plod of the countryside.

You see, it all makes perfect sense, doesn't it??!!

I was really looking for all the Horse Merchants as well, but you all did pretty well in the end.

(jeff gets docked 10 points for being too slow on the "Submit" butt twice in a row!!)

In Senryu form:

Such a silly place
Those who would steal jewelry
Have fallen like leaves

I suppose a knowledge of kigo would help here (hint, hint)

I've got one.

With a hollow pith I compose a quiet ring
My properties not replicated in any fellow living thing
Between rocks and inside nooks, I'm ringing
The adventurer's ultimate blessing.

It's a fairly easy one.
