If you lose the contest of wits, Frald isn't too disappointed because at least you accepted the challenge. You still receive five points of Legion reputation, along with a five point boost to Frald's disposition. Salyn Sarethi isn't so impressed: his disposition towards you drops by ten.

Elliott van Kirk Dobbie and George Philip Krapp (eds), The Exeter Book, Anglo-Saxon Poetic Records 3 (New York: Columbia University Press, 1936), digitised at https://web.archive.org/web/20181206091232/http://ota.ox.ac.uk/desc/3009 The Exeter Book riddles are a fragmentary collection of verse riddles in Old English found in the later tenth-century anthology of Old English poetry known as the Exeter Book. Today standing at around ninety-four (scholars debate precisely how many there are because divisions between poems are not always clear), the Exeter Book riddles account for almost all the riddles attested in Old English, and a major component of the otherwise mostly Latin corpus of riddles from early medieval England. Q: Why did the book want to be a detective? A: So it could solve the mystery of the missing bookmark!Q: A color is seen on a stoplight, an item you use to eliminate the darkness. What comic book character is it? A: Green Lantern. Book riddles leave a lasting impression while reading. They make everyone laugh and scratch their head. Sometimes they are easy as pie, and other times they might find you scratching your head. So get ready to embark on a reading adventure as you try and solve these fun book riddles. Q: I am the king’s, given by the people; Used by the king, on the people who gave him; everyone obeys him because he has me. Q: What did the robber say when he stole from the bookstore? A: “I had better book it out of here.” Thorpe, Benjamin (1842). Codex Exoniensis: A Collection of Anglo-Saxon Poetry, from a Manuscript in the Library of the Dean and Chapter of Exeter. London: The Society of Antiquaries of London. OCLC 562461120.
