> These are a series of questions, based in the Ultima IX game, which I found some of them to be very interesting into what is a true lightwalker and how a lightwalker are supposed to behave. > Questions B. Valor and Chivalry have nothing to do specifically with lightwalkers. Whack the bastard. > 2: You have sworn to protect someone at all costs, yet this person commits a crime, when the authorities arrive, B. I gave my word. Tough luck to the law. > 3: In furious battle a fellow knight deserts, leaving many endangered by doing so. If in his run he's surrounded by enemies, do you A. I'll sacrifice myself to show him up ;) > 4: A starving and burly duergar A-P accosts you and demands your food, do you B. Beat him to a pulp and use his armor to buy food for the needy. > 5: When young you have pledged to marry your sweetheart whenever she wished. Now you're in a sacred quest and she calls you to your pledge, do you Well it all depends on if she's hot or not. A if she is, B if she's butt ugly. > 6: In a battle your commander order you to guard the retreat path, yet the battle goes poorly to your comrades, do you A. People die all the time. I was given an order and dang it I'll follow it no matter what. > 7: You have sworn to obey Lord Danellaran. He covets a piece of land owned by the gnomes, do you Who the hell is Lord Danellaran? A. Just because I don't like gnomes. > 8: You have been entrusted with an uncounted purse of gold, in your path you find a family whose house and belongings have been burned and possess nothing, nor you possess anything to give, do you B. Return it and then go help the family rebuild. > 9: You have been sent by your God to secure a needed treaty with a distant Lord. He seems to agree with the treaty yet insults your faith, do you C. Pray to my god to smite him for being an ass then smugly ask him to apologize to me or face being smited again. > 10: A merchant owes your friend money, and you see the same merchant drops a purse of gold, do you B. Of course I'll return the money. I'm a nice guy aint I? > 11: After many years you found the slayer of your friend, yet he's the only a little child can count on, do you A. Oh yeah he gets the axe. I'll take the little kid and raise him, showing him the wrongs comitted by the first guy. > 12: You have been taught by your deity to cherish and nurture all life. Your friend has been fataly wound and will die soon and in pain, do you C. I'll find the nearest alchemist and have him mix up a potion laced with opium. > 13: You see a young boy stealing bread, do you A. Just show the little whelp the error of his ways and merely cuff him across the face with my gauntlet. > 14: Your God have prohibited you to fight, yet you see your friend being attacked by a group of imperials, do you C. I'd just let my friend have his fun and whack all the imperials because everyone knows imperials suck at fighting. > 15: And lastly but not least, what do you think is the ideal behavior of the perfect lightwalker?
