If you chose Beowulf, Gawaine, or Robin Hood:

Guessing a Bit
Nearly at a loss, you throw out the first name that you can come up with that might explain your odd garb. The Bit Player sputters at your suggestion. "An outrage! Have you no knowledge of the Bard at all? That's not even a Shakespearean role, you ignorant clod!" The Bit Player proceeds to give his best effort to beating some sense into you.

When you have already made two such choices:

As the Bit Player strides off after trouncing you for your third pathetic guess, you realize that he left a can of unopened beverage behind. Must have been too busy slinging your butt all over the place to remember to pick it up afterwards. You play a short and very sweet game of finders keepers.

You got an item: Scalpel energy drink

You lose Half your Max HP.

If you chose Correct roles:

Guessing a Bit
Nearly at a loss, you throw out the first name that you can come up with that might explain your odd garb. The bit player smiles and nods, then claps you on the back. "Ah, such a role! One day I should be so lucky to play that part! Until then, lay on Macduff!" Whatever that means, it must be good, because the good-humored Bit Player visibly relaxes, then rushes off to some curtain call alert that you can't seem to detect.

Only after he's gone do you notice he's dropped a piece of parchment.

You got an item: script page 2

If you chose Incorrect roles:

Guessing a Bit
Nearly at a loss, you throw out the first name that you can come up with that might explain your odd garb. The bit eyes your costume and frowns. "No, no that is one of my roles! I shall not relinquish that part, you knave!" He proceeds to forcibly restrain you from attempting to perform the part, and he's none too gentle in the process.

You lose Half your Max HP

If you chose No role:

Guessing a Bit
Nearly at a loss, you throw out the first name that you can come up with that might explain your odd garb. You've already guessed that character once. The Bit Player isn't going to go for it a second time.

• Cube Theater
  

Notes

• Occurs only during All the World's a Quest, and All the Men and Women Merely Heroes, after a script page was found in The Bit Player 4.
• Options you have already chosen in previous encounters with The Bit Player are removed from the list of available options.
• The 'correct roles' are different from player to player. See the pattern explain in The Bit Player 1.
• Becomes a One-time adventure once you get a script page. This also enables The Bit Player 6.
