Tomorrow is a big event at my university. I’d like to make a fun thing where the people of the Board Game society I am in can try to find me for a riddle, kind of a Where is Waldo in a place where there is a crap tone of people to find the NPC that’ll give them a Riddle (Maybe something to win? No idea how I could do that detail)

    It was! The stick was used by the man prior to his death. More specifically the man was compelled to receive the stick before he died.

        This is a “Maybe, but probably yes”. While he didn’t know he would die, he did suspect he would be at least injured when he got a look at the stick he received.

              Without reading the rest of the comments, this sounds like a weird version of strip Truth or Dare where sticks, one of which is broken, are drawn instead of a spinning bottle.

              Or airship pirates using this method to choose which one gets thrown overboard for some reason (and recovering clothes before that).

              Was a hot air balloon / blimp with multiple people on board involved in the story?

                Lol, this comment is all over the place, and you’ve got accurate guess tidbits all through it.

                As for your actual question: Yes! A hot air balloon and multiple people were involved.

                Not close on why he was naked, tho :P.

                  The aircraft was failing and they needed to reduce weight by discarding their belongings? Then tore apart some of the railing for a stick-drawing game to see who would need to be thrown overboard to save the rest?

                    Yes! The balloon was losing altitude and after dropping all of the sand bags on the balloon, they decided someone needed to exit so that the others might be saved.

                    They took some of the reeds from the balloon basket so they could “draw straws” to see who had to jump. Our man was the unlucky winner who drew the “short straw”.

                    Since he is now dead in the field with only his short straw in his hand, we know the fall didn’t work out for him.

                    But can you tell me why he was naked?

                  Oh! Full on guess time!

                  Was he having an affair, but had to quickly dash to the (shoddy) balcony once the husband unexpectedly came back?

                    A wonderful guess, but that is incorrect! There are no buildings around the field where his body lays.

                    You’re really getting the clues all together very quickly, though!

                    You are correct about the falling, but no affair and no shoddy balcony :)
