It's just that we touched on levels of illumination. So I was wondering if all dragon kind were automatically Illuminates, but on such a high level of illimination that humans can't tell. It would explain why they can't be illuminated, since they already are illuminated.

Lesse now... If the first one is lying, then he can't be the ogre, otherwise he'd be telling the truth. If the second one is lying, he cannot be the human, otherwise he would be telling the truth. So, regardless of which one is the liar, the second guide must be the ogre.

Roll on Sacred Time...
