Talk:The Truth Lies Hid

An Example
Solved this one over at BG. Thanks to Serra for posting the dialog.

The Dialog:

Rakke (Southwest)
 * Oh look... another Allied Solider. How dreadfully exciting. Let me guess: you're searching for someone and need my help. Oh, will the fun ever stop? ... Does it look like I'm running a charity here? Bring me 1 elixer, then we can talk. If I feel like it. Look at that expression on your face. Why, it's as if you don't trust me. Fine. then go see my friend to the north of here. He's as honest as they come.

Rikke (North)
 * Step right up, Lady! No, don't tell me: yer lookin' for a Hume Broad. 'Bout yea tall? Sword on her hip? Sure, I know where she's lyin' low. 'Fraid that information's classified: beastmen and hellspawn only, ya see? Hey, the Shadow Lord makes the rules 'round here, not me! 'Course, I just might be able to make an expection for a friendly lady who brought me 1 elixer... Whoa now! What's with the cynical stare? Could it be that... ... you don't trust me? Why, you wound me! Deeply, like. Just because my buddy to the southeast is a two-faced trickster, doesn't mean all us imps are! Bah, fine, don't believe me! No skin off my wings.

Rokke (Southeast)
 * Yeeeeeees? You have business with me, you do? You look for Hume woman, hmmmmm? Maybe I know where she is, maybe I don't. Either way, too bad! Boss would have Rokke's tail for blabbin' our secrets to a wingless one seeeee? Or maybe you make it worth my while? Bring Rokke 1 shiny elixer, perhaps? Shiny, shiny elixer, yes. Rokke tell you everything he know. What? My buddy up west tell you same thing? Oh, don't trust him, no no no. You trust Rokke, yes? Rokke no lie to no one.

We'll assign a letter to each of the imps since they're names are similar.

A = Rakke B = Rikke C = Rokke

A says B is honest. B says C is dishonest. C says C is honest.

If A is honest, then B and C would be dishonest. But A says B is honest, and only one can be honest, so A would be lying, and can't be honest.

If B is honest, then A and C are dishonest. But that would mean A was honest about B being honest, once again making two imps honest, so it can't be B.

If C is honest, that means A and B are dishonest. That would mean A is lying about B being honest, and B is lying about C being dishonest. The answer is C, Rokke.

I haven't gotten a chance to do the quest myself, so I can only guess that the puzzle is different for each person who does it. If any of my information is inaccurate on the main page, feel free to correct me. --Thala 21:47, June 22, 2010 (UTC)
