Durlag's Tower 'Stone Golem' erroneously allows multiple guesses

The 'Stone Golem' in Duralg's tower clearly states that you get one try and one try only. However, you are allowed what seem a variable number of guesses (depending on how far you get) until you are abruptly disallowed any further answers and dowsed with fireballs.

I can't find any pattern and it doesn't seem to make sense considering the clear instructions.

    What should happen is if you talk to it and guess wrong at all it throws a single fireball at you and if you survive you can try again. Perhaps you were talking to it and guessing wrong repeatedly before it could spawn any fireballs and then a bunch spawned all at once.

    After failing to guess too many times it won't allow any further guesses, as per its original instructions. I was forced to load an earlier save.

    I think it randomly gives you 1-3 attempts. This is intended behavior.

    Whether or not it is the intended behavior, it's very confusing to suddenly think you aren't limited in your guesses and then suddenly realize that you are.. but randomly.. and completely not in the way the golem explained the instructions.

    At least make it consistent. Either limit the guess to 1 or clarify the dialog.
