	''Three players encounter a crude altar deep in a dungeon. The avowant player ignores it, because it is not part of his objective. The lawful player purifies it, because he cannot allow it to exist. The ruthless player smashes it, because he must destroy anything opposed to his alignment.''		''Three players encounter a crude altar deep in a dungeon.
