TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE

There have been a lot of riftfarers arriving lately. It seems like there have been more arriving than usual. So many different kinds of people from different kinds of worlds with stories to tell and experiences to give.

A little game has appeared on the shellphone network in hopes of getting to know just a little more about these otherworlders. You might find it on your shellphone as you’re scrolling through one day.

Tell the world two truths and one lie about yourself. And let others try and decipher which of the three is your lie. If they can guess right, perhaps you’ve been able to make a new acquaintance. Or in the least learn more about someone from another walk of life.

1) Once killed a pile of tentacles the size of a hill with lamp oil.

2) I’m compiling a monster bestiary for this place.

3) I can see in the dark.

[eternalhymn]

I feel like I have an unfair advantage on this one.

[She was there for a lot of the tentacle business.]

[weisshappened]

Hah! Fair enough. Here - some just for you.

1 - I speak halla
2 - One time I broke my arm joyriding in an aravel
3 - My vallaslin. It's one of Andruil's.

[eternalhymn]

Just for me, huh? Alright then!

Hmm. Andruil suits you, since you're a hunter, and I can definitely see you getting into trouble in an aravel.

I don't think singing to halla counts as speaking their language. There's no way you speak halla!

[weisshappened]

Yeah - just for you.

[He doesn't talk about the vallaslin to just anybody--]

Damn. There's no fooling you. No, I don't. But there's some clans who have people who can.

[eternalhymn]

[Good point! Vallaslin is pretty serious stuff.]

Don't I feel special!

[She smiles to herself.]

You almost did, to be fair. I think with a little persuading, I could believe you spoke halla.

[beshackled]

A bestiary would be most helpful.

[weisshappened]

That your guess, or just making commentary?

[beshackled]

The latter. I dislike lying, so as I do not intend to commit fully to the game, I've no place to play at guessing.

But if you are making a bestiary, I would be glad to read it. I'm very curious about the myriad species of this place.

[weisshappened]

Does something like this really count as "lying"? It's just a game. All in good fun.

Trying to, yeah.

[beshackled]

I understand.

My experiences have left me very sensitive, but I hope you and the others are having fun.

[ohwowzers]

A... pile of tentacles?

[weisshappened]

A pile of them. Size of a hill.

... Which means, that's one of the truths, I guess.

[ohwowzers]

But wait how could you kill it with lamp oil??

What kind of monster is that??

[weisshappened]

Douse it in lamp oil, set it on fire. I smelled like burned seafood for a week.

No idea. But I sure hope I never see something like it again.

[ohwowzers]

That sounds like some crazy mutant Tentacruel. I'm glad you made it out ok.

But uh... is three a lie?

I know that at least you and I can both see in the dark, as we are both elves.

[It’s technically cheating, buuuuut, Fenris wants to try and figure out the other two.]

Killing tentacles with lamp oil seems impractical. But it is also a good idea in a tight situation. But here, the beasiary could be possible as well too. It would help with strategy.

[Fenris wants to see what Davrin has to say in response. Then maybe he can make a decision.]

[weisshappened]

It was a ball of tentacles the size of a hillside, if that helps.

[It probably just makes the situation sound totally outlandish.]

[magehater928]

It does not. What.. Caused them?

[He’s not ruling them out. Weird things happening in Thedas are normal.]

[weisshappened]

Never managed to figure that out. Near as I could tell, it was something from... deep down. Wormed its way up into the hill and just.

Grew.

[obliviscere]

If the first one is true you have to tell me the story!

[weisshappened]

No fair - you have to guess first.

[obliviscere]

Boo. Alright. Then I'm going to hope that one is true and guess that maybe the second one isn't true? You fight monsters, not research them?

I guess someone could do both though...

[weisshappened]

That they could.

[Nope, going to make her guess.]

[obliviscere]

2 not being true is my final answer and my guess!

Am I right?
