nope, keep trying

[G SpOtZ]

PIP! he deforms! hahah

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

yep, your up. told you it was easy.

[G SpOtZ]

that was totally a guess and i was joking LOL, but oh well

n i dun have one, so i'll jus pass. i'm no good wit riddles.

[ShunNakamura]

If someone doesn't grab it soon I'll just pop up another easy one(or maybe not so easy.. all depends on how my mind is working), but I gotta get ready for college classes soon.. would hate to be late on my first day.

[G SpOtZ]

somebody go, i suck at riddles. anybody.

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

I got nothing right now, you go Shun

[ShunNakamura]

Three are adept,
the rest work in vain; only they
have the nimble hand.

There are two parts. I can prolly accept either answer.. but I will have you give me both just to increase the difficulty.. still easy but maybe a guess or two will be made fore the answer comes all the way out.


[edit] cleared the riddle up somewhat.. didn't like how it sounded

[Masamune·1600]

It refers (taking both parts of the riddle into account) to the entire playable cast of Chrono Cross. The nimble three are those that can steal (Kid, Fargo, and Mel); the others are everyone else.

[ShunNakamura]

well I was looking for the three that could steal and that the riddle was about stealling. but that works...(you had it all).

Dang.. all well your up.

[Masamune·1600]

Let's see...

Four selected at a time
All four begin this simple rhyme
Four there were, but then mischance
Forced one from our lyrical dance
Or perhaps zero is more true
(Don't challenge Death beyond the blue)
Yet Somwhere else, three may still live
And fourth may yet have time to give
But does this time still bear mischance
Do past sins demand another glance?
Four there were, and four there are
If you purify that which was marred.

Who or what are the four?

[G SpOtZ]

hmmmm.... i was gonna say the four devas just because you said 4, and
"yet somewhere else, three may still live,
and fourth may yet have time to give"
radius was the only 'missing' deva, i guess you could say. don't have that much to back up my answer, but just getting a start at it i guess.

[Masamune·1600]

Actually, you're right; I was referring to the four Devas. The riddle was meant to suggest the current generation (the fourth and missing one being Dario, of course), though. You could say there was a missing Deva for the previous generation as well, but we never find out who it is (we only know of Garai, Radius, and Zappa). The big hint regarding the current generation was the Dead Sea reference, where Home World Karsh, Zoah, and Marcy would not have returned from.

In any case, you're definitely correct in saying the Devas. You're up, G SpOtZ!

[G SpOtZ]

sweet. first guess, i feel special XD

here i try:

I guarded the doors of the oyster's treasure,
the entrance to a cold forbidden body...
i've not been demolished by my own enemy,
but rather moved to another entity...
wielding fierce darkness at my edge,
it was only a matter of time that the twins' light awaken.
so that i could finally take a pledge
to my new beholder, the arbiter, the kaden.

what am i?

should be easy enough. btw, don't try to look up kaden anywhere. it's a word from another language, but i'm not sure which one. it doesn't have much to do with the riddle, just to make it rhyme, so i'll let ya know now that it simply means "fighter"

The Masamune, in chrono cross?
