Tiger's Eye

[ You find yourself in a small room, filled with nothing but straw and a spinning wheel. There are no windows and the door appears to be locked from the outside. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ On a piece of paper pinned to the spinning wheel you’ll find:

I am as enchanting as a medieval spell,
Charming as a nursery rhyme, as challenging as a duel.
I accompany you from cradle to grave,
Providing laughter for childhood,
Literary games for middle age,
And wisdom tests for elders.
Guess my gnomic name, if you can.

Your task today is to compose a riddle, both creative and tricky enough to puzzle another team. The answer to your riddle must be stream. ]

. . .

I can't read . . .

[ ... Reads it all aloud. ]

A stream...

To compose a riddle, hm?

So it seems.

... I must admit creativity is not my strong suit though.

So we think of things streams have and make them sound ambiguous.

I move without moving, from nowhere to nowhere, and can never rest in my bed.

[ A piece of paper flutters to the ground. Written on it in kunzite colored ink is:

BRDS BRDS
BRDS BRDS

Please solve the riddle and rate how difficult it was, on a scale from one to five. ]

...

....is it a rebus?

What does it say?

It's the letters B, R, D and S. Written four times.

[was I here? I guess I am now. picks up the paper]

Birds...? Without the letter—Oh. Eyeless birds?

Yes, I think so. That was rather simple.
