Anybody up for some riddles?
They're really simple... well, they are when you have multiple choice answers like I did. I got these from Baldur's Gate 2, the best RPG EVAR.
01) They follow and lead, but only as you pass. Dress yourself in the darkest black, and they are darker still. Always they flee the light, though without the sun there would be none. Shadows
02) I have holes throughout, from back to front and top to bottom to core. More nothing than something within, and yet I still hold water. Sponge
03) I am free for the taking through all of your life, though given but once at birth. I am less than nothing in weight, but will fell the strongest of you if held. Breath
04) Alive as you but without breath, as cold in my life as in my death; never a thirst though I always drink, dressed in a mail but never a clink. Fish
05) Of all your possessions, I am the hardest to guard. If you have me, you will want to share me. If you share me, you no longer have me. Secret
06) I can have no color, though there may be darkness within. I have no weight and hold nothing, and if placed in a container it becomes all the lighter.
07) Lighter than what I am made of, more of me is hidden than is seen, I am the bane of the mariner, a tooth within the sea. Speak my name. Ice(burg)
08) A spirited jig it dances bright, banishing all but darkest night. Give it food and it will live; give it water and it will die. Fire
09) The man who invented it doesn't want it for himself. The man who bought it doesn't need it for himself. The man who needs it doesn't know it when he needs it. Coffin
10) The life I lead is mere hours or less, I serve all my time by being consumed. I am quickest when thin, slowest when fat, and wind is the bane of the gift that I bring. Candle
11) The more that there is, the less that you see. Squint all you wish when surrounded by me. Darkness
12) They come to witness the night without being called, a sailor's guide and a poet's tears. They are lost to sight each day without the hand of a thief. Stars
13) 'Twas in the wood that I got it, so I sat me down to seek it. I could not find it no matter how hard I looked, and so I took it home with me. What is it? Splinter
14) It runs as it will, but never does it walk. There is a mouth to see, but never does it talk. A bed it surely owns, but never does it sleep. Possesses it a head, but not a one that weeps. River
15) I make you weak at the worst of all times, but in the end I keep you safe. You'll sweat in my presence even as you grow cold. I dwell with the weak, rarely the brave, but without me, who could tell the difference? Fear
16) It brings back the lost as though never gone, shines laughter or tears with light long since shone. A moment to make, a lifetime to shed, valued when, but lost when you're dead. Memory
