About the Task
The first riddle Oruff told me goes, "I am a four-legged creature, usually gentle but can be roused to a terrible anger. I have much in common with both satyrs and horses, and I am of a very rare breed. What am I?"
The second riddle: "I guard the castle with great aplomb, keeping the denizens of water and dry land apart. I am of arcane orientation and I yearn to smite those who would violate the mystical sanctity of this place. What am I?"
Listen to this: "I am a figment of dreams; I have a fearsome appearance, though my size is not grand. I shall defend every stone of this castle to my last fiery breath. What am I?"

See if the satyr Dugelun knows the meaning of the first riddle
|
The legendary First Riddle, you say? Well, friend, I happen to have worked that out for my friends here many times, they say it's rubbish. I say the answer is 'an enchanted mare' because of the line about the 'very rare breed'. Centaurs are thought to be rare, but the various breeds of enchanted equines and unicorns are rarer still!

See if the satyr Kurnax knows the meaning of the first riddle
|
Of course, Dugelun is wrong. The riddle means the centaur, not the enchanted mare. Not just any centaur, mind you, but none other than Morell Thule himself!

Find out if the satyr Melnax knows the meaning of the second riddle
|
The answer to the second riddle is obvious as the nose on your face, friend! What can it be but an enchanted guard of some kind. The suits of armor that are animated of spirit but have no physical wearer that can be seen, for example. Smash up one of those ornate guards, and I'll bet you find what you were looking for!

Speak with the satyr Eruk and see if he knows the meaning of the second riddle
|
The references to mysticism and arcane magic in the riddle seem to point most clearly to a shellscale occultist. Maybe if you were to hack one open you would find the ring you're looking for.

Learn if the satyr Auxenbaan knows the meaning of the third riddle
|
If you ask me, and you are, I will tell you that the third riddle is a masterpiece of transparent meaning. Of course the riddle points to a dream drake, and no other. The references to size and fiery breath could indicate a dream drake or a devourer, but the dream drake is clearly smaller than the dream devourer, thus it must be the dream drake.

Ask the satyr Reglek if he knows the meaning of the third riddle
|
The third riddle is about the dream devourer, of course. The reference to 'stone' is about as clear a clue as you'll ever need, since the devourer itself is made of stone.
