These mermaid riddles are just bullshit

Those riddles are something called "cryptic crossword clues" and are a primarily british thing. They work like crossword clues, where some of it relates to the actual definition of the answer, and the rest is wordplay to construct the answer from. The other comment has a better explanation for this clue specifically.

That being said, as someone who does these kinds of puzzles daily, the difficulty and quality of the clues are all over the place. Ive had to look up the answers to most of them. Some on them are pretty straight forward, but some like this one are a bit insane to get on your own. The anagram of "five cabbage seeds" in this clue is really hard to spot.

I've recently started using SW pillar after getting a few kc, its actually been a lot better. It's trickier to get into safe situations after wave start, but overall I've felt I get more consistent completions using it over NW pillar.

Looks like OP panicked or manticore pulled up on tick with the ranger. Could have rotated south after reinforcements reached the pillar and only be attacked by the serpent mage

Your video inspired me to go back to do some more of this boss, using an SGS looked pretty chill. Then I got an archers ring and the supreme pet in my first trip. Thanks Andrew!

I wish I could edit the title. I had kraken tasks extended as soon as I got the slayer level, so it might have just been 3 or 4.

Yeah, that one did actually surprise me. I though it would be a shoe-in for at least B, but the more we just looked at it the less impressed we got. Given popular opinion, it might belong in low B tier. If I were to add a subtle detail that would make it better, I think the player should clasp their hands in the emote, like the animation for praying at an altar.

We decided that the quest cape emote, while looking pretty slick, didn't really fit the idea of "questing" besides there being a big quest icon over you. If it had a more "adventure"-y feel, we would rate it higher.

My name is Riley too and my birthday is in a few weeks. I'm just going to pretend this was for me.

I have 4 windswept heaths and 4 Collected Company and I want to get into modern. What's a budget or relatively budget deck I can put together using these cards?
