Bestowal dialogue
You have found a plaque bearing the strange runes of Falgeirr Twisttongue, author of the papers you found in Katûb-zahar. When translated, they read as follows:
- I can sizzle like bacon; I am made with an egg,
- I have plenty of backbone, but lack a good leg,
- I peel layers like onions, but still remain whole,
- I can be long, like a flag-pole, yet fit in small holes.
- What am I?
