Riddles in Spellhold

Remove all ads!

Can anybody transcribe the riddles for me, please? Preferrably with the choices as well. I got past them quite easily, but thinking back, some of the riddles were quite clever. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If possible, be exact in the wording. Thanks

Isnt that Spellhold and not Irenicus' Dungeon?

 

Sure, or even "Bodhi's Prison". But what the heck.


Edit; Why does it matter at all? Izaad got what he wanted; didn't he?
It Could be "Bodhi's Beauty Box of Brave Beasts" for all we care.

Perhaps Irenicus's Asylum? After all, he took over as coordinator, so it's his asylum. Although the guy wouldn't fit badly in there either.
