Hi guys,
My group is currently in the middle of Flood Season. Last session I had to come up with a divination that would point the party to Artus Shemwick. I came up with it on the spot but I think it turned out pretty good. I just thought I would post it up here for others to use/modify for their campaign.
"If you're hungry for information, look for the unsteady man and he'll point you in the right direction."
The first bit refers to the fact that Artus is a part time cook as well as an information broker. The second part refers to the Tipped Tankard. Drinking alcohol makes you unsteady and the "Tipped" Tankard also indicated something similar. It also tells the party that the person the are after is male. The third party is obviously referring to the fact he has a map for them.

Nice. I used:
"The path to your goal will be clearly defined, by a meal in the place where mugs are inclined."

Very good. I like that you got yours to rhyme. I wasn't quick enough to think of a rhyming one on the spot. Mine is probably a bit more obscure than yours but I think that yours is still cryptic enough to leave them puzzling.
Did your players figure out what yours meant or did you have to help them out. One of my players made a roll to see if he knew of any information brokers in town and got a DC 25. When I told them that main one in town was a part-time cook at the Tipped Tavern they knew they were on the right track.

I had a little time to ponder the rhyme, since i didn't have to bust a riddle on the fly like you did.
My players got 'inclined mug' = Tipped Tankard right away. Of course, once they were there, they had no clue from my rhyme what exactly they were supposed to do. I suppose that 'a meal' might lead some players to think of the cook, but mine didn't, so i guess that's where my rhyme is weak.
