This collection of riddles are all independent of each other, and are the kind of thing you might talk about during a boring late night watch. Not a single one of the characters is mine, and they were asked a simple question...

Is the Glass Half-full or Half-empty?

Ammon: It depends completely on whether the appearance of liquid in the appearance of the glass has been bound properly unto this plane. Selecting either option may allow some infernal an advantage and distract you from your mission.


Bishop: Who cares? It's my glass, sod off.


Casavir: It doesn't matter, I will cherish and protect it.


Elanee: A glass is a useless, fragile item and wasteful. If it is potable, add it to your waterskin and leave the glass to city-dwellers.


Grobnar: Well, Commander, that can be a very serious question. Many hero's quests have begun with just such a simple question. One bard, Finder Wyvernspur, was faced with that choice from a beautiful maiden in a tale I heard that goes like this...

((Sings all fifty-seven verses, drinking the glass absent-mindedly after forty-five))


Khelgar: More damned riddles? If its not a good, Iron-fist sized tankard, I'm not interested.


Neeshka: Let me just check for traps... (and confirm there aren't any diamonds in the liquid) first...

((pouring and filtering liquid through fingers, finding a gem, and pocketing it))

Full or empty of what, again?


Sand: It depends on your frame of reference. Does 'full' measure the liquid or the air in said container? Is there even a glass or liquid present as it could be the result of an illusion or drunken delusion. Is there some sort of legal or tactical requirement that dictates the level of the liquid in the described container? Is this riddle passing through time, or is it a snapshot? If the liquid is one of several types, becoming empty is only a matter of time...

--Bishop drinks the glass--

Sand: Empty.


Shandra: It will probably explode into a thousand pieces if you're nearby. I'll just hide behind someone's shield until then.


Qara: Is it water? Then I don't care, neither burns.


Zjhaeve: First you have to believe that there is even a glass or that there is, indeed a liquid in it. My people have freed themselves from far worse chains than others' faith in powers. I am not thirsty and you can believe as you wish.


Construct: --CLANK--
