[ You find yourself in a section of the maze walled off by hedges sporting glowing orange flowers. Several tree stumps with rich velvet cushions on them surround a much larger stump, upon which lie a number of cards... ]

Then, the important question is... Which one should we go with next? I'm thinking of grabbing The Hermit myself. I can't really picture what the effect would actually do, though.

The Hermit doesn't... look. Bad.

[might've calmed down a lot]

It certainly doesn't. Hermits are isolated people aren't they?

The person who picks it would be alone for a while. Or even possibly the rest of the game.

Or they could just feel like they're alone.

[that's always terrible enough]

That's also an option too, I suppose.

[ there's so much dramatic irony here it hurts. ]

What about the Wheel of Fortune? M-Maybe that'd just make somebody dizzy.

I don't know, that card has too much symbolism for my tastes. A snake, a dragon, and a sphinx circle a wheel while various winged beings watch it while reading... There's so much symbolism there it could do almost anything.

That's true . . .

[Peers at the Hermit.]

The Hermit's simple enough. An old man with a lantern and walking stick looks down from what appears to be a mountain. It's still no guarantee it won't do anything weird, but the symbolism's just a bit higher than Justice, so it should be fine.
