Goblins XVIII: Being yourself can be dangerous

[Godskook]

More likely since she's a Lawful Good creature, he figured that if he gives the answer before the question she'll pick a question to which it is the right answer, because that's what a Good entity would do (especially if they can't not do good).

Really disagree here. She already had the question set. If it was required, a lawful good person wouldn't change the question. And if it had not been set, a lawful good entity -still- would've attempted to be lawful about it, such as by randomizing the y/n value that's correct or deliberately asking it "wrong" in hopes Thaco would change his answer once he realized it was incorrect.

The one thing she **WOULD NOT** do is cheat to give him a free win.

----------------------

Of course, that's all assuming that answering the question is in some way required. If it's all pageantry to provoke change in the visitor, then her goals shift dramatically, and she'd have "maintaining the farce in general" as one of her goals. And we've speculated already in this thread prior to Thaco's turn that this might just be pageantry.
