Khond wakes to Rick's prodding, blearily and achily, as he rubs at his various injuries. "Oh, so we managed to capture some of them? That's good, we can turn them over to the guard or militia next time we reach a town..."Casting his eyes away from the captured "brigands," Khond blinks at the others, "Well, I'd not assume the questions will change just yet. 'Learn from the past' and all, it could expect us to fail and try again with newfound knowledge. Did it say anything specific in response to the answers? And what specifically happened each time? Every other trial has provided some form of clues or guidance... Besides, the answers to these questions can vary by perspective. Some would say that a soul is the essence granted by a god which imbues us with sapience and dictates whether we are good or evil, but I would say that a soul is the accumulation of our identity; Rather than something tangible and inherent to us, it is the identity we build through our thoughts and actions. And if I recall correctly, I believe our current understanding of the assassination of the Empress suggests the reason was never truly known, so an objectively correct answer cannot be given."

"We only got three questions and didn't even try the third, but they were..."
"What is a soul?"
"What is a titan?"
"Why was empress Evelynne killed?"
"...First one I think is more the concept rather than about boots. It's not gonna ask those first questions again is it..?"
