Talk:It Lives Beneath Choices/@comment-3452092-20190110154613/@comment-3452092-20190111001016

Maybe more than just choices 16 and 17 are involved in this situation. It kind of sounds a little like that one choice in A Courtesan of Rome where the response was dictated by one answer you made multiple chapters earlier. I don't want to doubt either of you and some of you are saying you tried every option and nothing happened and some of you are saying you tried certain combinations and you died. It sounds likely that there is more going on here than just those two choices. So here are some questions I want to ask on that subject (especially @Jadelady and @Duchai9109 who both said they did die on those two choices):
 * What is your MC's nerve score?
 * Do you have any of Josephine's notes other than the first and last one (since we know the last one creates a new option?
 * Do you have any of the special items? More specifically (but not limited to), did you pick up the Marlinspike just prior to these choices?

I have not played the chapter. I will not be playing the chapter until probably tomorrow and I will not be getting to this part of the chapter until Sunday at the earliest for diamond reasons. Once I do get there, I hope you have figured this out, but if you haven't I will do some experimenting of my own.

For my own notes when I get back there: "Remember who you are." and "They can't hurt you anymore!"
