Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How much money does Giannine's father give to her to use at the Rasmussem Gaming Center?

Answer: $50

Her father doesn't even really love her. He sends the gift certificate to Giannine through his secretary. Apparently, he only remembers her at Christmas and her birthday.

2. What is the name of the captain of the guards?

Answer: Penrod

Penrod, during her first lifetime, is the one to kill her. However, afterwards, Janine befriends him and he becomes one of her most loyal guardians. Wulfgar and Kenric are both the Princes of the castle and Rawdon is one of the Royal Counselors.

3. Did the boy accused of poaching ever die?

Answer: Yes

When Janine was late for visiting her royal family, she missed the chance to let the poaching boy go. That was the only time that he ever died.

4. Who of the following did Janine not ask to wear the ring?

Answer: Grimbold

Janine asked one of Grimbold's barbarians to wear the ring but not Grimbold himself. Andreanna wore it at the end of the book when Kenric advised that she do so. She asked the dragon to wear the ring, but it was hidden under her shirt so the enchantment didn't work. Wulfgar wore it when Janine went down to Fairfield to find the treasure that Rawdon stole.

5. What is one step above raising the pigs?

Answer: Tending to the chickens

This is revealed when Janine asks Rawdon about the dragon. Since he was in charge of raising the pigs, Kenric says that one step above that is tending to the chickens.

6. Which of the following is not one of the causes of death to Janine?

Answer: Tripping off of the Old Hag

The Old Hag is the mountain where the dragon resides. The very first time Janine dies is because Penrod shoves a knife into her. The second to last time she died, either Kenric or Orielle poisoned her soup. The poaching boy's father shot Janine with an arrow after the boy brought her to the camp.

7. How far do the Seven League Boots take Janine?

Answer: 25 Miles

This was a rough estimation that Janine figured out when her thought process was in gear. She used this a number of times to both encounter and to evade the dragon.

8. Which of the following were not answers to Xenon Senior's riddles?

Answer: Not one was bigger than the other

The riddles that Xenon Senior asked were: "How far could you walk into those woods?", "Two great armies fight at the equator. The bodies are too mangled to identify. Where do you bury the survivors?", and "Where was Moses when the lights when out".

9. Which character's appearance was based on Nigel's?

Answer: Kenric

This was shown as Giannine came out of the immersion and saw the almost identical-to-Kenric Nigel, the creator of Rasmussem.

10. What ability officially ends the dragon's terror?

Answer: Midas Touch

Grimbold's crown contained the Midas Touch, which gave its user the ability to turn whatever he/she touched into gold. Janine wore the crown and touched the dragon, turning it to gold.
