What has roots as nobody sees, is taller than trees, up up it goes and yet never it grows??

If you were to juggle a lion, and a house cat, the end result would look something like a tattered chunk of red fabric. The cat would scratch anything within reach, and the lion would just eat you. The lesson to learn? Make sure you eat your spinach.

for fish's post:

An idea.


Here is one from an adventure I have been reading.

Chimera looks to sunrise
Cyclops looks to sunset
Medusa looks to sunrise
Umber hulk looks to sunset
Basilik looks to sunrise


And to help a little more.
This octagonal room is supported by a single large pillar with dozens of deep grooves along its sides. The seven walls of this room each bear fantastically detailed bas-relief carvings of exotic monsters in threatening poses. Starting at the wall immediately to the west of the entrance to the room and moving clockwise, the carvings depict a tentacled monster with a glaring red eye and a mouth full of teeth, a looming dragon, a fish-like creature with three eyes and four tentacles, a two-headed giant wielding a pare of immense clubs, a spherical creature with four eyestsalks and a bulging central eye over a drooling maw, a gorilla-like beast with a fanged maw and six eyes, and a towering black spider with seven eyes. Each monster's eyes consist of a flittering red stone. The ceiling above is only ten feet high, with an eight pointed star pattern radiating out from the grooved pillar. The arms of this star are black, save for the one pointing south toward the entrance, which is red.

I know it is not really a riddle. But it does take some thought on working out how the two connect. And what to do.

air or water or God

alright here goes: I come from the things that make you sick but i make you well

clue: kind of modern
Now and then I announce "I know you're listening" to empty rooms. If I'm wrong, no one knows. And if I'm right, maybe i just freaked the hell out of some secret organization. It's basically Paschal's wager for the paranoid prankster.
