[Despotus]

Is it a generic character from a cut scene?

Hmmm... Generic, not exactly. I'd say a rather unique character from a cut scene.

Nobody's guessed it yet. Perhaps I should change the word 'foreign' to 'alien', or 'unnatural' in the clue. (SPOILER)Perhaps 'exotic'?...

[conan]

Aha! It's Worker 7, from Nelveska Temple!

[Despotus]

Not a bad guess, Conan. But, there are a few inconsistencies between your guess and the riddle. For starters, I think Worker 7-new does issue a warning to intruders and to the researchers. The riddle says no warning. Secondly, they are told to evacuate or retreat within 30 seconds. The riddle says "don't try to run". Thirdly, other than Reis' little problem, I can't think of any innocent life that hangs over our heads in that scene. I also mentioned that this "character" is from a cut-away scene, not a battle prelude. Keep the guesses coming folks.

[conan]

Dang, I thought I had it.

[feioncastor]

Duke Barinten of Fovoham, seated in Riovanes Castle, home of the most Exotic Wizard of all, Mr. Malak (who is also a duke. The duke of Uselessness)

[Despotus]

You're getting much closer. The character in question has a lot to do with Barinten and Malak (foreign/exotic voice, perhaps?). Keep in mind that 'foreign' can mean 'out of place'
If you could think of the innocent whose life hangs in the balance, you'd be almost there. Keep digging!

Oh! Is it the frog messenger that Malak sends to the warehouse that Ramza and Rafa are in to warn them about Alma's fate if they don't go to Riovannes castle? It does a little Mission Impossible this-message-will-self-destruct after that.

Messenger?:kaodizzy:But i thinked that was´nt Malak that turned himself in a frog and talked with Ramza and Rafa?

It was definitely not Malak himself since the thing blew up after it was done talking.

We have a winner, folks! Nice job BG!

[BG-57]

Thanks.

No sword in stone
No giants of metal
No hermit wizards
No great events

Why even go there?

[feioncastor]

Does this relate to a freaking proposition?

[Despotus]

Sounds like BG-57 is referring to the optional battle at Dolbodar Swamp, which boasts no great reward. It is unlike other optional battles (Bervenia Volcano, Nelveska Temple, and the Deep Dungeon) which do intice the player with substantial treasures, additional characters, etc.

[BG-57]

You are correct Despotus! Your go.

[Despotus]

With pleasure, B.G.



Each clue in this riddle refers to one same thing:

When little Leo joined,
Or when a Virgo's equipment was purloined,
Or perhaps when a winged menace was slain,
What did you gain?
