Roof: Stage 9

All is Lost
no.	Solve	Word Riddles
1	etched Arrow	I come to a point, with feathers on the back; an etch of what's loosed in an archer's attack
2	A Bird house	When a cardinal's too classy for homes built of twigs, I'm a fine choice when in search of better digs
3	A Candlestick	Before light bulbs and flashlights, I dispelled the gloom; by bearing a fire, I bringthened a room
4	A Treasure chest	I was once buried deep, but now I'm dirt-free, and waiting to be opened up by a key
5	A Paintbush	I use colorful pigment to decorate spaces, recreate landscapes and paint pretty faces
6	An Open Window	I'm standing agape to let fresh air in, but need to be closed should foul weather begin
7	A Pistol	After walking ten paces, I'm drawn from the hip; my shots held in a cylinder, rather than a clip
8	etched Three	I'm an etch corresponding, it would be agreed, to the number of birds on the roof eating seed
9	A pair of crossed Bones	We're the limbs of a fellow, who time has forgot, stacked to be useful for marking a spot
10	3 Birds eating seeds	We're a trio who've landed, but not for a rest; we've discovered a meal to take back to our nests
11	A Stone bird	I'm unusually heavy, although I'm not fat; I'm the flapping form perched on a monarch's stone hat
12	A Bottle of Poisonous Liquid	It's best I stay locked away under the sink, for I'd kill if I was confused with a drink
13	A Gargoyle Statue	I'm a fiendish creature staring intently below, the harsh rain has caused one of my wings to erode
14	A Horse Shoe	I'm often affixed to a fully grown foal; in sport, often tossed toward an in-the-ground pole
15	A Cat in the Smoke	In the midst of a product of wood lit by match, I'm a domestic critter most likely to scratch
16	A Stalking Cat	In the moonlight, my eyes are seen glinting like steel; I'm poising to pounce my next feathery meal
17	A Flashlight	A battery powers my brightening spark, granting you passage through corridors dark
18	A Baby	I'm a princess or prince in the tiniest form, held close to my mother who's keeping me warm
19	A Crossbow	When I'm loaded with bolts and my string is drawn back, the pull of trigger starts off my attack
20	A Flower Pot	I'm a mobile bouquet you could set in the sun, or bring back inside when the warm weather's done
