Stonehenge! *bounces*

If you're interested, the stones actually come from Wales and the local plain. </geologist>

Maybe the answer is just 'stone'?

Does anyone have any more ideas, I have e-mailed Menelaus, but he hasn't replied to me. Have the rest of the completed seen this riddle? I can't make much sense out of it, but considering the other torments, it may be an idea to see if the riddle isn't more to do with the words than the sentence as a whole.

I can't find any information about the Friar dying from being struck by the Heel Stone. According to the legend he was struck on the heel by the stone, hence its name.

This could be a red herring, in which case we should be looking for something that killed a friar.

I've been working on this from a word puzzle angle, but nothing I've tried so far has made any sense.

Also, Menelaus put up a new post; i don't see any hints though, nothing in the code, and the only unusual things about the post are the capitalization of "WILL" and the misspelling of hero, but I think thats an innocent typo.

Unless here/hero is a hint to vowel substitution in some way?

A bit vague, I know...

For the sake of noting typos, Menelaus said the "weapon" was bought from Ireland, not brought. It could be nothing, though...

Sorry to DP, I just registered.

I found another myth surrounding the friar/stonehenge thing.

I thought I'd post the Heel Stone on Menelaus' blog. At least if it's wrong, we'll know that this isn't what we're looking for.

Wow. Good point. Never even noticed that no one suggested that to Menelaus. I hope (but doubt) it works.

Any chance we can go for a time where those of us in the UK don't have to stay up until 3am to take part?!!
