I get to Rikibi the Riddler and she says that although I made it to her there is "something unfound that must be found". If you hand her Viafan's Temporary Shard A she will open the gate and 5-6 pooka's---one of which hits a 95 SK with 6k AC for 300 thousand points of damage. Needless to say, you are dead...

Riddle: I help to mature your spirits. When moistened I fulfill my purpose. Should I dry out, my task will fail and my quarry (is this really the word?) may be worthless.
Answer: Cork

Yes, quarry really is the word ... got this one today.
Didn't work for me

Tried 2 times.

"My mouth bears no teeth....." Gave him Catfish, popped the adds on me.

"My life is measured in hours..." Gave him the Candle, popped the adds on me.

I had the key on me as well.
Didn't work for me

Looks like you answered correctly.

To avoid problems, I always do this with the rest of the group down at the last room. This prevents anyone else from speaking to the riddler or picking up some of the riddle answers from the ground. I normally get the riddle 1st, then start picking up the answers until I get the correct one and turn it in, leaving the rest on the ground. I do not always have the key on me, as someone else occasionally loots it, but have never had a problem with the riddles, and have never seen any adds spawn at this point.

Did this run tonight.
First time I was the one to loot the drops from him.

I had 16 drops. Not sure what is missing here. I destroyed them before looking on the forum list here.
Will try to find out when I go another round soon.

Got to Riddler today, and got the wine question. Gave him the wine, and viola, door unlocks right. So I click on it, hello pooka army!

I don't know why, but either I have a black cloud over my head or something got messed up with tipt recently.

He's bugged, won't give riddle. Did him twice, same results. And I have the key, had to do it the hard way and give him key and get adds to spawn, split and pulled all the adds then went through.

The person holding the key will hail the Riddler and get the riddle. 14 bags will pop on the ground. The person with the key is the ONLY one who should pick those 14 bags up. When the riddle is solved, the person with the key hands in the item.

If you hand in the wrong item, a ton of mobs pop.
If someone besides the person with the key hands in the item, a ton of mobs pop.

Riddle:
I scribbed forms of the finest letter
Repel elements of the harshest weather
I am an Arrow-Aimer and a dust breaker

Answer:
Feather

Actually...I was holding the key and the monk in our group (who didn't have a key) picked all the bags up and did the turn in and no mobs popped.
