Part 59: (Supplimental)

I wish I could, but it’s not in either set of music. It is, however, in the closing credits, right at the beginning and up to the 1:34 mark, where it goes into other, unrelated themes.

Chapter 11: Supplemental

The votes have been tallied, and according to popular vote, the classes are defined as follows:

Fighter


Paladin


Wizard


Thief


As an aside, I’d like to mention my theory about the symbolic system used here. There are certain symbols related to each class, as well as several “neutral” symbols that have nothing to do with them. So far as I can figure, the fighter is associated with the sword, the paladin with the ankh (a sort of Egyptian peace symbol), the wizard with the pentagram, and the thief with the key. There may be others (such as the fist with the fighter), but these are the ones I’m reasonably sure of. So long as you pick at least one of the associated symbols (and the other two aren’t affiliated with another class), Sekhmet will decree that “your soul and your skills work in harmony,” or some such. Which is good, since I always used to figure that the fighter needed to go sword-fist-sword or else not get the harmony points. Anyway, let’s see them morality choices!

Fighter


The pharaoh of the country you now live in has called for war against the country of your birth. You are ordered to serve as a leader in his army. What do you do?




You are the ruler of a small kingdom. A neighboring king claims that a piece of land you hold is rightfully his and threatens war if you do not cede the land to him. What do you do?




Three veiled and robed women stand before you holding chalices. The first woman is dressed in purple velvet and says, “Drink and you shall have my wealth.” The second is dressed in blood-red silk and says, “Drink and you shall have my love.” The third is dressed in black rags and says, “Drink and you shall have my soul.” Choose.


Paladin


You are finally alone with the woman of your dreams. Before you can ask her to marry you, she tells you she is in love with your best friend. What do you do?




You are called to a distant city to act as an impartial judge on a murder trial. When you arrive, you discover that the accused is an old friend from your childhood. What do you do?




Three huge stone statues stand before you. One is of a lion, one of a falcon, and one of a snake. Each of the statues speaks to you, saying “Choose me and I shall guide you.” What do you do?


Wizard


You are aiding an old wizard to cast a ritual which will bind the rushing waters of a river and prevent the flooding of the village below. Suddenly, the old mage clutches his heart, and cannot speak. What do you do?




You stand within a hall of mirrors, each mirror reflecting the image of the others. As your image is reflected in the mirrors, you see that each reflection of yourself is a little different. Suddenly, the images speak in your own voice: “Touch me and become me.” What do you do?




Darkness surrounds three burning candles. Engraved in the stone floor are the words, “You must choose one.” The yellow candle burns the brightest, the green candle burns the steadiest, and the brown candle burns dim, but long. Which do you choose?


Thief


As you reach to replace the sacred jeweled statue of Nishkabob with a carefully measured bag of sand, a small, childish voice from the shadows suddenly asks, “Whatcha doin’?” Good question—what do you do?




You are on a vital mission for your king. You must make it to the village by nightfall, and already the sun is sinking behind the mountain peaks. Suddenly, you hear a cry for help from the jungle off to the west. What do you do?




Three veiled and robed women stand before you holding chalices. The first woman is dressed in purple velvet and says, “Drink and you shall have my wealth.” The second is dressed in blood-red silk and says, “Drink and you shall have my love.” The third is dressed in black rags and says, “Drink and you shall have my soul.” Choose.


Alright, now get to voting. Feel free to vote how you think that Nike would choose, or how you would choose, or what you think is funniest, or whatever. Oh, and don’t think that the compromise is always the best answer—after all, dividing your efforts may merely result in you losing both the things you are hoping for.

Oh, but one thing I must insist upon is this: clearly note which question you’re answering. And for who, in the case of the cup question. As usual, I won’t count answers until the very end, so feel free to argue and change your mind if you want.
