There was a theme indeed with these riddles, each illuminating it more than the last, threads woven together to a bigger picture. After their second - and third, with any luck! - questions were answered by the sphinx in return, they may even have enough to go on to undo all this.
"I suppose the source - or whoever is behind all this is a her," Carmelina mused, to the members of the group who were also pondering these questions. "She must be incredibly powerful, whoever she is." Or whatever. To conjure up all this fog, rife with Egyptian plagues? Carmelina had experiences of - well, not biblical plagues, but curses at least - in Egypt, but she had never expected to see such things in Irvingly. The theme was rather more jarring, in this sort of setting.
