Considering that I'm cobbling this together, yes quirks will come up. I
took out the dragon references, but forgot the feathered serpent. And
some of the combo's don't work well, but I don't want to take all the
flavor out of it.

For a standalone version, save the HTML code to an HTML file on your
machine. Then you can open it locally and it will work with one minor
difference, the "Try again" link doesn't work locally, just hit
refresh/reload in your browser to get a new pair.

I was also thinking this could be used to make "Odd couple" pairings for
some Trideo sitcom. :) If I had more time, I'd work out the kinks. As
it stands, I will probably only fix minor bugs (feathered serpent), and
do more work in a week or so.

If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord

I will not imprison members of the same party in the same cell
block, let alone the same cell. If they are important prisoners,
I will keep the only key to the cell door on my person instead
of handing out copies to every bottom-rung guard in the prison.
