a) Nothing.  Let the silence speak for you.
b) Offer him friendship. He seems lonely.
c) Try more flattery.  It worked for Sylpha.

a) Try to reason with the creature.  It seems clear that he cared for the first empress.  Perhaps you can convince him to relinquish the jewel.  You hope.
b) Screw it.  Martel is right to get angry.  You're going to fight this thing and you're going to get the jewel by force.  You hope.
c) Think of a way to trick the beast.  It's not like you'll be hurting its opinion of you, since it already things so poorly of you.  You could trick it into giving you the jewel.  You hope.

a) Nope! Nope! Nope!  The taloned hands on that thing could easily crush your skull.  There is no way you're letting it lose. You opt to go through the door on the left of the throne.
b) Nope! Nope! Nope! The size and musculature of the thing alone is enough to disuade you from letting it loose.  You opt to go through the door on the right of the throne.
c) You help. What else can you do? It may be a native of this place and in a position to help you out. Or it could kill you. At least that would be quicker than the alternative of starving to death.

a) Dive in after them.  There is no way you're just going to let them go through whatever this is alone... even if it is merely death.
b) Remain behind to keep the rest of the troops from panicking.  They will need a leader.
c) Attack the figure.  No one causes the earth to swallow your friends.  No one.

a) Aid the second corspe.  The first one was trying to kill you.
b) Aid the first corpse.  It was lying where Bassadia slept.
c) Stop the corpses from killing each other until sunrise.  Somehow.

Bassadia's life is in your hands.  Vote.  Share.  Good luck, Sky Road walker.
