The Last Post Wins!!!!!

[Edema Rue she/her]

Tsk tsk tsk. Questions just doesn’t understand the beauty of it. I am in tears over the that event. 

[Immortal Platypus]

I understand how some see it as beautiful. It just isn't for platypi.

Welp. It’s been 5 hours. Does that mean no one else wants to win, so you can let me win and ignore this thread forever?

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

But no one will ever solve the riddle!

[Edema Rue she/her]

Hmmm…why is he dead? What caused him to die…I got it! 

He stopped living!!!!

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

Nope!

[Immortal Platypus]

I still think old age was a good guess. A wrong guess, perhaps, but good.

[Edema Rue she/her]

Wait…but…

But if…

If he didn’t stop living, how can he be dead? 

[Immortal Platypus]

He is a statue. Dah Dah Dah!!!

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

He is a person and actually is dead. He just didn't decide to stop living.

Sorry for the confusion there. >>

[Immortal Platypus]

I know @AesSedai318 irl and that was just her being intentionally confused, it's not your fault and there isn't something to be sorry about except holding the answer over our heads. She's like that a lot.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

Why is the man lying dead in the forest.

Any questions?

Ideas?

Theories?

Hey, @The Wandering Wizard, what if you only tell us once @ImportantQuestions opens the thing?

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

I could never do that.

You must puzzle out the answer to the riddle.

[Immortal Platypus]

When I open what?

Do you mean the totally a rick roll spoiler boxes? You told me not to do that and so I didn't.

Technically they asked if you really wanted to do that, they didn’t say not to. 

How about a counter-riddle: What have I got in my pocket?

[Telrao she/her]

*grins* Should I say the answer, or let someone else who has read the Hobbit answer.

[Edema Rue she/her]

Answer in a golem-like voice. 

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

*Creepy voice*

"OOOHhhh. We knows it! We knows it!"

*Cooing softly and in a sing song voice*

"It's our preciousssssssssssssssss!"

*Pounces on Telrao*

How does a cat put a ring on? Is it on your tail or one of your legs? 

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

*Blocks the route*

"You hasn't answered our riddle."

*Begins humming angrily*

[Telrao she/her]

"I... I've got..." *realises she's invisible*

"A SWORD YEET" *stabby stabby with glowy sword*

[Immortal Platypus]

I stab Wizard with a lightsaber so the kitty can escape.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

"GOLLUM, GOLLUM, GOLLUM!"

*Falls over dead*
