Again, SPOILER ALERT.
No questions, I figured it out but in the wrong way it seems.
My initial assumption with, "The Answer is S T E E L. Was to take the numeric values and add them together, however I must have messed up on one of the letters because when I added them up I got the number of 62, not 61. Obviously 62 didn't work so I thought on the riddle some more... tried a couple of other guesses some random, then I went to wikipedia for the automic number of iron, and tried that, of course I didn't think that would work.
However the way I eventually solved it was thanks to wikipedia. I looked up thescale hardness of steel on the Rockwell scale, the example on the page was: "Very hard steel (e.g. a good knife blade): HRC 55 - HRC 62"
Then I tried each value from 55 all the way to 61 (the correct one) and was really happy with myself. Moreso than if I had not made that calculation error before.
Funny how this riddle can be solved in two ways, eh?

Keep in mind, I would be uber exicted to see more puzzles in Eschalon, but the steel puzzle pee'd me off too. I tried to look it up to, but to no avail. Why not relate the puzzle into something relevant to in-game information?

It was. It was a thief's chest, but he couldn't spell.

It was probably a teifling rouge.

lol, actually that doesnt make any sense to me, cause im a programmer, and if characters are referring as numbers, only 1 way, that is ASCII table =P
STEEL definitely worth more than that =P
