Is the creature whom I seek
A sunkissed night, a darkened day
Pale shadow rough, yet sleek
Delicate in theory, though in practice you are not
Come gather round, Helovians, and tell me whom I sought!

The riddle now has run its course,
My quarry did not show How pretty will his trinket be Amidst my braids of snow Spark amulet, gods willing, Is the trophy I have torn From none other than handsome sir: Lace the Silverthorn --- Lace’s Spark Amulet was sought! A walking contradiction: Fluff, sets up riddle and introduces a series of contradictions. Is the creature whom I seek: Fluff A sunkissed night, a darkened day: Color reference. Lace is a dark color “sunkissed” with gold dusting. Pale shadow rough, yet sleek: Companion reference. His “shadow,” Fajira, is a white dragon. As a dragon, she’s covered in rough scales, but Lace’s profile describes her body as “vaguely reminiscent of a cat’s,” “supple,” and “agile”—in other words, sleek. Delicate in theory, though in practice you are not: Name reference. His name, “Lace,” implies delicacy, but “his body holds several scars as testimony to his experience on the battlefield” (quoted from profile)—clearly, he is no frail thing, but an experienced fighter. Come gather round, Helovians, and tell me whom I sought! Fluff.

FAIL
A walking contradiction: Fluff, sets up riddle and introduces a series of contradictions. 0| fluff Is the creature whom I seek: Fluff 0| fluff A sunkissed night, a darkened day: Color reference. Lace is a dark color “sunkissed” with gold dusting. 0| [Color ref] this was just too vague and in general confusing to me. Not to mention grulla is more of a medium to light color not dark, though it can have dark points. Pale shadow rough, yet sleek: Companion reference. His “shadow,” Fajira, is a white dragon. As a dragon, she’s covered in rough scales, but Lace’s profile describes her body as “vaguely reminiscent of a cat’s,” “supple,” and “agile”—in other words, sleek. 0| [Companion ref] I would never have thought the shadow referred to the companion. I see your thought behind it, but it was just too vague for the mind to connect the dots on its own. Also scales are actually smooth for the most part :) Delicate in theory, though in practice you are not: Name reference. His name, “Lace,” implies delicacy, but “his body holds several scars as testimony to his experience on the battlefield” (quoted from profile)—clearly, he is no frail thing, but an experienced fighter. +1| [Name/Personality ref] A nice name ref! Come gather round, Helovians, and tell me whom I sought! Fluff. 0| fluff 1/3 necessary to pass Overall it was just too vague, try to extend the purpose of your clue further so that it better directs the reader in the right direction for solving. It all made sense once revealed, but this was not something that could have been solved alone. Helovia Hard Mode

A walking contradiction: Fluff, sets up riddle and introduces a series of contradictions.
Is the creature whom I seek: Fluff 0 | Fluff. A sunkissed night, a darkened day: Color reference. Lace is a dark color “sunkissed” with gold dusting. 0 | As this was based on contradictions, I don't feel this was a solid clue. It seemed to be pointing to some combination or several colors, made me think more paint than any solid color. However, wasn't outright misleading. Pale shadow rough, yet sleek: Companion reference. His “shadow,” Fajira, is a white dragon. As a dragon, she’s covered in rough scales, but Lace’s profile describes her body as “vaguely reminiscent of a cat’s,” “supple,” and “agile”—in other words, sleek. +1 | Companion reference. Delicate in theory, though in practice you are not: Name reference. His name, “Lace,” implies delicacy, but “his body holds several scars as testimony to his experience on the battlefield” (quoted from profile)—clearly, he is no frail thing, but an experienced fighter. +1 | Name reference. Come gather round, Helovians, and tell me whom I sought! Fluff. 0 | Fluff. 2/3 necessary to pass. Overall, this is a FAIL to me. Something you might want to do in the future is include more than 3 clues, that way you still have a chance to pass even if some of the clues don't necessarily contribute to the 'scoring' as in this case. Try to be a bit more specific, and I advise avoiding fluff. If you think long enough, you should be able to come up with a way to word things or rethink lines so that they do contribute to the stealth! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
