[Activity] Riddles in the DAB

[Celebes]

For when you are stung by a wasp

[Madeline]

All hope for the quest shall be lost

[Celebes]

(I don't know about that rhyme, Maddy )

As you take your final breath

[Fyri]

And move beyond the veil of death

[Madeline]

(you're the one tossing practically impossible rhymes out at us... you will never live down orange.)

So keep watch and take great care

[Fyri]

And you shall find your fair share

[Celebes]

First a collection of the reddest bulb

[Fyri]

Try not to down them in one gulp

[Celebes]

Second a chest of the purest coin

[Fyri]

Do be wary to avoid its purloin

[Madeline]

lastly find the treasure true

[Celebes]

Which is love, from me to you.

[Fyri]

This seems like a great place to end this first riddle, no? Three pages, 41 lines, not bad, not bad!

The Poem that skirts the Boundery of the Ruleset

Harken, ye beast, if tis my treasure ye seek
Then seek ye first the statue meek,
Of beast not mice nor badger lord
But he of those who walk the ford.
Underneath the sculpture tall
In seasons after fall
Seek ye the lay of first light
In the wake of moonless night
Dig three paces from the sentinels gaze
Where entrance lay to my maze
Where shines the moon on scented bloom
Peek in thy snout and embrace the gloom
For within there is no escape
Until, for good or ill, thou meets thy fate
So take heed my dearest beast
And put your paws towards the east
Walk five sunsets towards the sun
To where the glimmering gold was won
Beneath the virtuous' and the vermin's same sun
There find in my ruined lair
The rumoured regalia o' land most fair
And place your paw on the marker orange
To push it down one more inch
Then stand with your companions in a circle
the meaning of my words to clinch
As the staircase is revealed,
Descend, if you dare, beneath the field,
And face what lay below
Making sure no fear to show
For when you are stung by a wasp
All hope for the quest shall be lost
As you take your final breath
And move beyond the veil of death
So keep watch and take great care
And you shall find your fair share
First a collection of the reddest bulb
Try not to down them in one gulp
Second a chest of the purest coin
Do be wary to avoid its purloin
Lastly find the treasure true
Which is love, from me to you.

Anyone want to throw out a new first line? The rhyming schema can change too, of course!
