The Thargoid and Fer-de-Lance

[Frank]

Frank acknowledges Trinity's prize with an unsteady nod. He now has a bottle of whiskey in his left hand and his right hand holds the bottle of Janx spirit he's just sipped from. Frank looks at the two bottles using the deliberate motion of an inebriated old man who's trying to appear sober. He manages to slur out the words "I thin' deess quizzzes... r.. great"

He tries to regain composure to think of a new question. The fact that he falls asleep during the attempt suggests it will be an easy one

 

[Frank]

"Okay. Here goes"

Frank shows you some credit coins and deliberately places them in his pocket.

"What's in my pocket?"

 

[Frobac]

Never afraid of the obvious, Jack Anderson calls out "'Money' by Pink Floyd!"

 

[Frank]

"Money ain't the answer."

Frank takes the coins out of his pocket and shows them to you, "These coins look gold but they ain't. They're a copper=based alloy"

He puts them back in his pocket.

 

[Ian Phillips]

Reighdar walks back in the bar, just as Frank puts his Brass coins in back his pocket.

"Is he pretenting that those are gold?" he thinks.

 

[Cmdr Andy B]

fools gold stone roses?

 

[Frank]

Frank looks at the bottles he has in each hand. With a sigh he reluctantly passes the Whiskey bottle to Reighdar. "That's a single malt you got there. treat it good"

The old timer claps his hands together "We have a winner!"

 

[Ian Phillips]

Reighdar asks for two glasses and fills them both.

'Here Frank, bottoms up, and don't fall over.'

He goes to a table and sits, in classic western style, whisky bottle and glass on the table in front of him. Contemplates the table through the bottom of the glass, looking for inspiration.

 

[Ian Phillips]

The whisky slips down Reighdar's throat, smooth, warm and soft.

He glances across at Frank who was trying to put his Janx bottle into his helmet, and then wear it.

"That old goat has had far too much and is going to fall like a lead balloon" He thinks.

Then inspiration hits;

A dangerous and disputed area that gives its name to something smooth, warm and soft.

 

[Andreas M]

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
with stars to fill my dream
I am a traveler of both time and space to be where I have been

Kashmir by Led Zeppelin.

Brilliant! (and correct)

Come and have a whisky! (Steps over Frank to put Kashmir on the dukebox).

Laika ?

 

[Andreas M]

Laika ?

Trinity thinks, Reighdar probably had too much Whiskey and has forgotten that he should guess a song, not a name. The original post gives clues to an artist, an album and a song.

 

[Frobac]

Jack Anderson smiles. "I think I know this one. 'Boris The Spider' by The Who."

 

[Andreas M]

Jack Anderson smiles. "I think I know this one. 'Boris The Spider' by The Who."

That's the one! Trinity congratulates Commander Anderson and hands him a large poisonous Riedquatian spider, contained in a half torn cardboard box and a small flask of a matching antidote. "Use it wisely, Jack Anderson!" he states and walks out the bar...

That's the one! Trinity congratulates Commander Anderson and hands him a large poisonous Riedquatian spider, contained in a half torn cardboard box and a small flask of a matching antidote. "Use it wisely, Jack Anderson!" he states and walks out the bar...

Jack's smile grows wider as he surveys his prize. "Hmm, I'm sure I'll find a use for you!" he murmurs. Turning to the rest of the bar he says, "Excuse me for a moment. I'd better find somewhere secure to keep this beauty. Oh, and come up with a riddle. Don't want it to be as easy as my last few have been."

With that he takes his leave, carefully carrying the cardboard box.
