[QUOTE="Qik, post: 5658940, member: 6673727"] As Ioseph enters the dimly lit room, the gnome points him over to the remaining empty chair, then scurries around the table to return to his own. Gathering the lone card on the table back into his deck, he begins to shuffle absent-mindedly, eying the group as he does so. [COLOR=Purple]"Well now...we're all here. A bit later than I had envisioned, but one can never be too sure about such things."[/COLOR] Looking over in Ioseph's direction, he continues, [COLOR=Purple]"Just before your arrival, Man of Light, I was explaining to the others that the reason I had been anticipating you four was that I am in need of assistance in reclaiming an item that is most precious to me..."[/COLOR] Sighing slightly, the gnome suddenly adopts a much more solemn demeanor as he elaborates, in what seems to be an unusually straightforward manner for him. [COLOR=Purple]"As I said to the merwoman, I am a viewer of time: I peek down its corridors and dig through its many nooks and crannies. I mostly do so for my own amusement: to see what the future holds is to delight in both the engagement of one's skill and the fulfillment of one's curiosity. Of course, I have on occasion used this ability to support myself materially; I have always done so with a clear conscious, since I have found that what we know of our futures actually matters very little in the grand scheme of things: a fool is a fool given a penny or given a pound. There are, however, ways in which a fool can be given more than they deserve, and this I always avoid. Not all of my kind, the time-viewers, adopt the same philosophy, however." "Much of one's ability to observe along time's corridors is innate; there are, however, items which can amplify this ability." [/COLOR] He gestures to the deck of cards holds in his hand. [COLOR=Purple]"I have always turned to images, myself, and through the years, have amassed a great and powerful collection of them, through which I navigate through time's lonely halls."[/COLOR] Pausing for a moment, as if to gather his thoughts, he soon continues.
