Opportunities

TO THE ROOM OF DOOM!

On your way to the top floor you notice two characters who look much like Patch.  You prepare yourself for combat, but they don’t seem to be reacting.  In front of them stands a note.

“Good day, adventurer(s) or annoying salesman who doesn’t understand the concept of “I don’t need a new brand of toilet paper, because as an undead I don’t even go to the bathroom,” my guess would be that you are looking for me: Verzavt the lich.  Your purpose doesn’t really interest me, but your performance as a survivor does, so what I offer you is this: manage to get past my obstacles and I’ll find enough time for you, even if it is just to kill you myself (depending on my current mood).  These two brainless puppets are here to test your ability to think (barbarians beware), and to do so one has been instructed to tell nothing but the truth and the other to tell only lies.  It is your duty to determine which is which by asking a single question.  From their answer you must decide whether  to go left or right.  One leads to the next test, the other to your certain doom.

The lich mage.  XOXO”

What do you do?

  1. Ericgm says:

    Ask them if their brainless.

  2. Ericgm says:

    And trust the one that says yes also to do you tell the truth and do you have a purpose.

  3. Koyal says:

    Reading is lame, incinerate the sign and puppets before anyone have a chance to undertant the challenge.
    or
    Ask them how to deafeat Verzavt. Then send Ray to the left, wait for his signal to follow (or painfull screams to not follow).
    or
    Ask them what is Verzavt weakness. Then send Ray to the right, wait for his signal to follow (or painfull screams to not follow).
    or
    Ask them what Verzavt is affraid of. Then use Ray as a guinea pig to find out wich way is safe.

  4. Garsemor says:

    ask them: If you where the lieing puppet what direction would you say is the correct way to go. after that go in the OTHER direction then thet tell tou to go.

  5. Eric says:

    It says Barbarians beware so help Techy.

  6. Koyal says:

    oops I forgot…
    or
    Ask them “If each of you, were the other, which way you would tell me to be the safe one?”

  7. Ericgm says:

    Ask them if their brainless and trust the one that says yes to both questions also ask do you tell the truth and do you have a purpose, also ask the one you trust where he will lead you.

  8. Gl1tch says:

    Ask one of them which way the other would tell you to go
    or
    Cast incinerate on one of them, and demand the other one tell the truth about which way to go.
    or
    Have Ray play a song of truth-telling.

  9. Uoteau says:

    Ask them if Ray is an idiot.

  10. Supernerd says:

    Ignore the puppets and tell Ray to go left. If lives, follow him. If he dies, go right.

  11. Wolfhowl44 says:

    put the fancy hat on one of sally’s friends

  12. Devious_Psychopath says:

    Ask if one of them is the color green.

  13. Moltrox says:

    Ask the green one if he is green, if he says no the he is the lier, if he says yes he is the one who says the thruth, then ask the purple one if he is purple, if he says yes he’s the one saying the thruth if he says no he’s the lier, when you discover who is the one which puppet says the thruth ask him whick way is the way is the one who goes to the next test.

  14. ForeverLoading says:

    Is Jane a Killjoy?

  15. ChaoticBrain says:

    Since you can only ask ONE question, ask this to both of them:

    “If you were instructed to perform the opposite of your current functions by Verzavt, which path would you say leads to Verzavt?”

    The truth-teller will point to the wrong path, because he is truthfully saying the opposite of the truth. Meanwhile, the liar will also point to the wrong path, since he is lying about telling the truth. When both have given their answer, head in the opposite direction that they tell you to go.

  23. 794 says:

    OR incinerate for exp then go left and cast levitate on yourself so you don’t fall (faster than awnsering)

    ps: sorry for the double post i had another idea

  24. Zlith says:

    Ask them that if they were the other one, who would they say is the liar. Go in the direction that they don’t point to.

    OR

    Make techy figure it out.

  25. autoglassmasterclass says:

    “Does the purple guy lie?” or “Does 2+2=4?”

  26. Wolfhowl44 says:

    Ask one of them do you lie? Then ask is Ray a loser?

  27. me123 says:

    well, lets do the only logical thing to do; torture them until they tell you which path to chose.

  28. Fred says:

    Ask them if they know about Hercules’ riddle.

  29. Itu says:

    Ask either what would the other puppet say, and go the opposite way.

  30. War_Wrecker says:

    Ask either what would the other puppet say, and go the opposite way.

    JUST A REMINDER, ITS ONLY ONE QUESTION. STOP SUGGESTING THINGS THAT INVOLVE MORE THAN ONE QUESTION. AND LEARN TO READ.

  31. Holocat says:

    levitate one dummy down the right path, and one dummy down the left path. The path that doesn’t immediately start killing the dummy, follow.

    “how much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?”

    oh on a side note 67 panels left

  33. The One Guy says:

    Take a third option! (Or the whole asking which path the other puppet would say to go thing if you want to be all logical and boring.)

  34. Badgecrasher says:

    I second Chaoticbrain.

    Anyways, how about adding the strategy map to the map section and pointing out our location?

    Cast Incinerate on both the puppets to be barbarian wise.

  36. HellMage501 says:

    Shout LOL at the green puppet to see if it’s smart enough.
