So yeah, I died earlier and was doing the death quest to get back to life....somehow I answered right and wrong. I edited the part with the actual answer for the riddle. I know it is right though.

Code:

ss I seek the oracle
You say 'I seek the oracle'

[HP: 47%] [ME:100%] [PE: 96%]
> 
A will-o-the-wisp says You seek the Oracle? Prove your worth, then.
A will-o'-the-wisp says to you 'You will have but one chance to respond.'
A will-o'-the-wisp says to you 'The friend's end,'
A will-o'-the-wisp says to you 'The bread's end,'
A will-o'-the-wisp says to you 'The mast's end.'
A will-o'-the-wisp asks to you 'What am I?'

[HP: 47%] [ME:100%] [PE: 96%]
> 
ss The answer is a ****
You say 'The answer is a *****'

[HP: 54%] [ME:100%] [PE:100%]
> 
A will-o'-the-wisp says 'Correct, a ******. '
A will-o'-the-wisp says 'You are incorrect.  You have failed.'
The will-o'-the-wisp glows.
You feel disoriented.

[HP: 54%] [ME:100%] [PE:100%]
> 
s
You soar south.

In a Swamp
  You find yourself in the midst of a blackened swamp. No egress
is apparent. The typical sounds of crickets and breezes are absent,
lending this place an eerie silence. From this part of the afterlife,
the option of pursuing a quest is no longer available.

You answered it in the incorrect format.

"My answer is *****" would have been correct.

I can tell you that never mattered before.

Was just a guess anyway. Other than that, I have no clue.

Is there any possibility there was 2 "oracle" will-of-the-wisps in the room a the time?

Quote:

A will-o'-the-wisp says 'Correct, a ******. '

AND

Quote:

A will-o'-the-wisp says 'You are incorrect. You have failed.'

both showed up. Which leads me think there was 2 in the room which would definatly a bu... feature.

You would think there was two there, but there was only one that I saw.

That's very very strange. My only guess is that it would have something to do with the tick happening right as you said the answer.

The word "answer" and the actual answer have to be in the sentence. "I am never going to answer that question, not even if a cat rips my tongue out" would be correct if the answer was "cat."
