Against the Demon Queen (quest)/Riddle

Against the Demon Queen riddle
A is the first to draw blood B and C never cross D strikes near to E F deals the killing blow

* Grasping = Octopus (Mindflayers) * Mockery = Monkey (Wildmans) * Night = Bat (Mephits) * Hungry = Wolf (Gnolls) * Devious = Snake (Trogrodytes) * Poisoner = Scorpion

The first hallway is 100% A. The second hallway is either B or C and is a 50% guess. The third hallway is either D or E and is another 50% guess. Fourth hallway is 100% (whichever third wasn't), and fifth hallway is also 100% (whichever second wasn't). Sixth hallway is always F.

There are two random choices you need make (2nd and 3rd hallway) with a 50/50 chance of getting each right. Thus on a given run you have a 25% chance of making it through without a single trip to the trap, a 50% chance of making it through with one trip to the trap, and a 25% chance of needing two trips.

The 4 possible combinations are; * A, B, D, E, C, F * A, C, D, E, B, F  * A, B, E, D, C, F  * A, C, E, D, B, F

Possible patterns
Instances made for this quest are not compeletly random but choices from presets. With this chart, you can avoid 50/50 bet on seconnd/fifth and third/fourth hallway.
