Oblivion Trivia!!!

Staying in the same "vein" as the last one....

Coaches of black
are watched in the night,
by a man and a woman,
who are in for a fright.

One entertains,
while the other steals,
the guests have started,
their sand-timed meals.

The lady is discovered,
now she is cursed,
dining with others,
whose names are reversed.

She plays along with her host,
and knows she’s been beaten,
then concludes that her name,
means she’s last to be eaten!

Question: What's the girl's real name (not the one she's given by her hosts)?

Dogmantra · Post by **Dogmantra** » Tue May 20, 2008 5:52 pm

the girl's name is Heriah, also Known as Lady Tressed, or at least, by her hosts... that's one of my favourite books.

Caldyn_Blade · Post by **Caldyn_Blade** » Tue May 20, 2008 6:03 pm

Dang, that was quicker than I expected!

Tressed = Dessert!
Too bad Heriah's an idiot...as she should have thought of it sooner...

(especially after Esruoc Tsrif = First Course)

It's from the Surfeit of Thieves book....

You're up Dogmantra!

okey dokey... I want to do this one, although I have to think of a riddle, give me a minute.

Okay, I've got a subject, now for a riddle.

A hole in the ground
in which a piece of wood
can be found
this place can jump rather high
two in it have already died

Lousy I know but it was the first OB related page that came up in Random Page.

Wellspring Cave?

A hole in the ground (cave)
in which a piece of wood
can be found (where you get your wood for the Mage's staff)
this place can jump rather high (Wellspring = Spring Well?)
two in it have already died (two Mages Guild personnel meet their end here)

yep, your turn

Caldyn_Blade · Post by **Caldyn_Blade** » Wed May 21, 2008 6:29 pm

Ok, here's an easy one....

Two women and I,
down on the farm,
flirt with men,
but do them no harm.

A bit embarassed,
they may be,
but of our crimes,
they will not speak.

I am the leader,
they do as I say,
amongst stolen clothes,
you'll find our pay.

Who am I?

Faustina Cartia

Open round, I'm doing homework, shouldn't even really be here

Dogmantra · Post by **Dogmantra** » Wed May 21, 2008 8:14 pm

Mind if I take it? I'll edit this post with it when I get one.
another "random until you get something useful":

Four of eight and one of two
Darkness will come to you

pretty tricky, since it's only 2 lines but I might add more if no-one gets it.

Just a note that Mrs T was correct of course...

but opened it up for Dogmantra...

Through a Nightmare Darkly?

John117 · Post by **John117** » Thu May 22, 2008 12:07 am

Is it a DLC?

Caldyn_Blade · Post by **Caldyn_Blade** » Thu May 22, 2008 12:16 pm

The only thing I can guess is Dark Brotherhood Quests given to you by Sanctuary members...

Four of eight (Vicente and Ocheeva each have 4 quests...the Purification is under Ocheeva, but it's really a mission from Lucien) and one of two (one of two non-official DB quests from Sanctuary members, Darkness Eternal)
Darkness will come to you (the Gift of Darkness (Vampirism) of course)

I doubt it's right, but there's at least my reasoning. We'll probably need more to go on here.

Dogmantra · Post by **Dogmantra** » Thu May 22, 2008 12:17 pm

Caldyn's close.
maybe another line will help:

Four of eight and one of two
Darkness will come to you
Coupled with a tropic tree
Darkness came to me

Caldyn_Blade · Post by **Caldyn_Blade** » Thu May 22, 2008 2:53 pm

Now I'm really stumped, as I can't think of anything in regards to seeing a "tropic tree" in Oblivion...(i.e. palms, etc.)

Dogmantra · Post by **Dogmantra** » Thu May 22, 2008 7:09 pm

Gah, Caldyn... Think laterally!

Lunarsweets · Post by **Lunarsweets** » Thu May 22, 2008 7:58 pm

The manor you get? Umm..cant remember the name...

Caldyn_Blade · Post by **Caldyn_Blade** » Thu May 22, 2008 8:22 pm

Oh, ok, I get the last clue now...(I think)...

Lucien LaChance?

Four of eight and one of two (including the members of the sanctuary, this would be 8 members of your new "family", as for one of two, could be a lot of things here)
Darkness will come to you (when you sleep after a murder)
Coupled with a tropic tree (the black palm/hand, symbol of the Brotherhood-see my avatar)
Darkness came to me (recruits you into the guild)

Eliana · Post by **Eliana** » Thu May 22, 2008 11:42 pm

yes, Caldyn must be right, it's Lucien.

But I think:

Four of eight and one of two

Four are the fingers, the Speakers, and become eight with the nails (Silencers). One must be the Listener, the other finger of the Black Hand. Became two with our Mother

Dogmantra · Post by **Dogmantra** » Fri May 23, 2008 5:12 am

So close that I think I might let you have it... It was the black hand.

Four of eight (four fingers on one hand out of eight overall)
One of two (one thumb on each hand out of two overall)
Darkness will come to you (black is dark, plus Lucien comes when you sleep)
Coupled with a tropic tree (a palm tree, like the palm on your hand)
Darkness came to me (when you get recruited by the black hand)

Caldyn_Blade · Post by **Caldyn_Blade** » Fri May 23, 2008 2:46 pm

Thanks.
^^Wow, she really does have an Oblivion gate named "Lucien LaChance"...go figure....

Born among many heirs,
he was not well known,
but after killing his brother,
his kingdom had grown.

Ceded to the Empire,
the dead brother's crime,
he took the city back,
and now was his time.

The Imperial forces,
strong in arms and desire,
were quickly depleted,
from the town's arrow fire.

The hero of the city,
his statue proud and tall,
to other kingdoms,
he was example to all.

Who is he?

Note: I may not be on during the holiday weekend, so as long as there's a concensus of someone getting it, please move on with others, Thanks!

Martin

Eliana · Post by **Eliana** » Sat May 24, 2008 5:37 am

Yes, it seems like the answer is Martin Septim, but I can't make the story relationships of this:

Ceded to the Empire,
the dead brother's crime,
he took the city back,
and now was his time.

The Imperial forces,
strong in arms and desire,
were quickly depleted,
from the town's arrow fire.

Jagar Tharn?

PeterGriffin-certifiedCPR · Sat May 24, 2008 5:12 pm

Caldyn_Blade:

It's Rislav Larich (the righteous)?

He killed his brother Dorald, defeated the imperial army, and his statue stands in Skingrad. It's the one with the man on the horse, with a bird on his arm.
