Ahhhh... the legendary ring of RSE resistance!


YES YES YES the floor is yours! (errr unfortunately not )

Hint:
What they seek can be found near to where monks pass an initiation test by riding something very large

What they found belonged to the the first of something, that something made its living preying on others

I know where to find this. I also know what they found, but as the method I used to find out the where involves Google, and I don't have the source, I cannot make a guess. I will hint that it can be found in some kind of Sourcebook under a "Nightal" entry.

Hope that didn't spoil it for you, Damian?

That is an excellent hint Kyrene, the sourcebook you mentioned for me is the One Great Basic Start to the wonder that is the Realms

I believe that would be Barroch's Hold, the famed citadel of the first great bandit king of the Inner Sea.

(DM's Sourcebook of the Realms, p.40)

I still remember the day that my copy of the Old Grey Box came in the mail. I managed to pick it up for $9.00 off ebay. I spent an entire weekend just reading the books.

I got my first copy so I'd know more about what I'd read in the FRA. A month or two later, the 2E boxed set was announced.

Jedward?

There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

Hint #1: They were first united in the Year of the Circling Vulture, but since the events of the Year of Moonfall the four have rarely been seen together.

Hint #2: They are described in detail in a source book scribed by Ed Greenwood, though the cover does not mention his name.

I have been offering many Faithful Prayers to Selune that someone finds the answer to this question...

Hmm, I had completely forgotten about this thread. Well, due to Wintermute subtle hint, I managed to find the answer!

They are the 4 rings known as the Moonweb, some Selūnite magic items (Prayer from the Faithful p.63)

I'll be back later with a question (if anyone is still interested)

That would be correct, sir. I was about to post an alternate question if it went on for much longer. I had given out about all the hints I could...

Don't worry Wintermute, your last hint was clear enough

First hint: A mechanical scribe is a hand-set type printing press

it is my guess that people are no longer interested in this thread. I'm still going to try to revive it a little with a new hint

Third hint: The three major centres of worship of the city in which we can find this Mecanical Scribe are dedicated to Gond, Tymora, and Umberlee.

The House of Wonders in Baldur's Gate is the answer.

He doesn't want to get infected by lice, of course.

As I recall, he had short, spiked hair, not shaved (might be from an older source). I have a guess for the answer, but I have to pass since I had the last question.

If she didn't, she'd have done much worst than just shave his head (oh, a hint about his race maybe? )

This is about a drow from one of Sasvatore's novels, but I don't remember enough to answer this and I don't have the books either.
