Traveling Scholar

Overview

In most towns there can be found a man named the Traveling Scholar. He charges an initial fee for the Hero to take a 5-question quiz. If he gets all 5 questions correct, he receives a prize. If a question is answered incorrectly, the quiz will end, requiring another payment to try again. Players are recommended to save before they start the quiz to avoid wasting money. Once a quiz is successfully completed the player may not take the quiz again.

Prizes generally reveal hidden items or give new interface options for the player but do not directly impact gameplay.
