The Lopporits arrive. To Sharlayan. Puddingway's cravings. A brutal riddle defeats me.

"I must suffer Urianger's inferior works no more..."
-Puddingway

---

-Props to Fourchenault for recovering quickly from the shock of seeing the Lopporits in-person.

-Urianger is probably great with children. I'll bet he'd be an AWESOME kindergarten teacher. He's basically the unofficial ambassador for high-energy, playful, sometimes trollish groups like the pixies and now the lopporits.

He's so formal that I wouldn't have thought it'd be a good fit when I first met him, but he's able to retain that style with tremendous patience and insight, seeing from the perspective of these weirdos just as well as a great kindergarten teacher would with children. Never flustered.

-So. The riddle. Did any of y'all get it without using a guide or outside help? A breakdown:

I FEEL GOOD ABOUT:
-Got the Nymphaeum clue! At least I was 1 for 3.
-At one point, guessed correctly that the second half of the clues were related to actions
-Understood generally

I FEEL BAD ABOUT:
-Even if I found the nutkin, talked to it, and saw the dialogue that this was related to the quest, and even if it clicked that I had to say something, I wouldn't have said "golden acorn" in a million years.

Like. The acorn wasn't golden or remotely close to golden. Was that part of a joke going over my head, or a pun, or something?

-Anyway. Who was the "master" who wrote the letter? It's ringing approximately zero bells for me. The presence of the nutkin makes me think it's someone tied to Thancred (since that's his censorship bar of choice) but I don't remember his ties to Sharlayan.

Could be related to Alphinaud, but he doesn't really seem like a mischievous infiltrator type. Idk idk idk.
