I am Basthet, keeper of knowledge and observer of the past and all possible futures. I was expecting you and know why you have come, but before I offer to help you, you must answer my question correctly. Fail and you must endure my ordeal to obtain my forgiveness.

[Navalea] "You'll pay for what you did to me! I've hated you for so long!"
🧍 Navalea only⚔ Fight
"My child, I can understand your hatred and your frustration...But thanks to what I did, you are here today, in this time. Even if you don't understand it now...you are a key piece to save us all. Maybe it wasn't fair, but it was necessary to have the chance to save everyone's future. Still, you have not answered the question, and as my first paladin you should know that the rules are unbreakable. Therefore you must endure my ordeal and earn my forgiveness so we can talk again.

[Laia] "Mother, we are in a hurry. We need your help!"
🧍 Laia only⚔ Fight
"My child, it seems that in a short time you have forgotten my teachings...Rules come first! And you have failed to answer my question, no matter who you are or the rush you are in, there are no excuses or exceptions. Therefore, you must endure my ordeal and earn my forgiveness so that we can talk again." Begin combat Basthet will ask the player a riddle based on in-game lore. There is no way to determine which question you will get. Players can choose to either answer her riddle and if the answer is correct the party will not have to face her ordeal. If the player chooses incorrectly or chooses either Navalea's choice (if Navalea is in the party) or Laia's choice (if Laia is in the party) the players will have to face her trial.
