Best Of

Basically... Menelaus was getting help with the quiz and I was just there listening...

Herolt, the decipherer says, "Question 12: What is the best way to ward off thrims?"

Herolt, the decipherer says, "Anything you say out loud after this point will be considered your
answer. You have 20 seconds."

Swara says, "Fire."

Elene says, "Fire."

Menelaus says, "Fire."
Herolt, the decipherer says, "That is..."

Herolt, the decipherer says, "Correct! You live."

You say, "I knew that one."

Herolt, the decipherer says, "Question 13: Where did the seed that started the formation of the
Flame of Yggdrasil come from?"

Herolt, the decipherer says, "Anything you say out loud after this point will be considered your
answer. You have 20 seconds."

"Heh heh heh," Menelaus chuckles.
Herolt, the decipherer says, "That is..."

Elene says, "Gardener."

Herolt, the decipherer says, "I'm afraid you were not correct, and the cost is your life."
Herolt, the decipherer shakes his head solemnly, reaching up to swiftly inject a needle that had
been hidden in his robe into Menelaus's neck. Menelaus crumples into a heap on the floor, dead.
Menelaus has been slain by Herolt, the decipherer.
Menelaus has failed Herolt, the decipherer's quiz and perished.
Stricken, Menelaus collapses to the ground, a dense mist escapes from the orifices of his body,
until nothing but a withered husk remains.

You say, "Oops."
