A Puzzled Skeleton roams the halls of the Dead Nations, frustrated to no end by a riddle that another skeleton, the Riddling Skeleton has posed him.

Conversation[]

If asked what the riddle is, the skeleton will recite it:

"Think of words which end in '-GRY'. Angry and hungry are two of them. There are but three words in the Common Tongue... what is the third word? The word is something that one uses everyday. If thou hast listened carefully, I have already told thee what it is."

With 18 or more Intelligence, the Nameless One can solve it for him (rewards 6250 XP). The answer may not have ever come to him precisely because he is a skeleton.

If TNO doesn't have 18 intelligence, but has at least 17, he can solve this riddle by confronting its source, the nearby Riddling Skeleton.

The answer, by the way, is "tongue", the third word of "The Common Tongue". Skeletons generally don't have, use, or talk about tongues, which is part of why the Puzzled Skeleton might never have guessed it.
