Jola selected crate #4 and Dante was compelled to offer up a real riddle,
Jola realized at once this must be a boss creature in the jungle. Moreover, it must live in a region infected with goo and with a feminine attribution. The region had to be Maiden Grove! But, what bosses lived there? She mentally sorted through them, Tang-Ka, Spinah, Bawakya. She had hunted them all. But only one lived in a grove. Indeed it nested in a strange hand-shaped clearing.
Jola confidently asserted, "You are...
Dante frowned and reluctantly admitted, "You have guessed right again."
Jola replied, "It was not a guess. Perhaps you could join me for shooki tea and see the trophy wall in my apartment?" The crowd was delighted with Jola's rebuttal and this latest turn of events:
Aesan stilled the crowd with three words, "Jola, your riddle." You could hear a pin drop as the crowd held their breath. Jola said, "My next riddle is..."
Again Dante was confounded. His answer seemed intended more to save face than to actually win. Without apparent reflection he quickly replied, "Wormy is my answer."
Jola sounded almost kind as she gently corrected his error, "Sorry... this is wrong.
But Dante would not be soothed by gentle words. He was losing and he knew it. He whined, "Bah... I did not expect any less. Each riddle you give has 2 possible answers!"
Jola was annoyed at this criticism of her riddles, which she thought quite proper and fair. And certainly Dante's Noblis and Wormy responses were not serious answers at all, but designed merely to confuse or tease the crowd. She replied sternly, "Well IF my riddles have two answers you should be all the more grateful. It would give you better odds of getting at least one answer correct. As you seem to be unable to guess any reasonable answer, how can you complain?"
This sharp response seemed to amuse even Aesan. With a somewhat approving tone he proclaimed, "That is 2 points for Armageddons and 0 points for the Cynics. Are there any crates left?"
I live in the palm of her hand,
in a grove to rival Eden land.
Under the protecting shade of her ever-growing might,
I remain vigilant over the curious blight.
Who am I?

He robbed from the rich to give to the poor,
which drew his supporters like fish to the lure.
Who is he?

Jola sounded almost kind as she gently corrected his error, "Sorry... this is wrong.
