All 3 items in the Knight's Temple can be used. The dummy "princess" has 1 of 4 options (I have no idea if they have a lasting effect on the game), the necromancer's book has a weakness scroll that Father William used as a bookmark, and the boot has 100 gold tucked inside. You can choose to steal the gold and lie to Iron Richard or tell him the truth.
