[sblock=OOC]Sure, ask me before I get a chance to massage around my spell list.
[/sblock]Haros will cast divination.
He will also spend 10 minutes and a turning attempt to establish a Divine Ward (feat, PHBII) with Shard.
Edit:
Haros will also cast Divine Insight (sense motive) and Contingent Energy Resistance.

Your divination gives you the following result:
Harm can come in knowing the truth, but not in asking the questions, woe to those who bring the chaos of unmaking.
Knowledge Religion: "Chaos of Unmaking" is a rather rare phrase used to describe Slaadi, an old god of chaos and madness that steals the secrets uncovered by mankind.
Divine Insight: The message is 3 parts. The first and last refer to the dangers of learning too much, which will bring down the claw of the great Slaadi. The middle refers to the actual event ahead, and that you should go forward willing to ask questions.

The location of this "Anton" or the man named "Harland Skarrald" proves somewhat difficult to find. After working through the webs of the local garrisons, you locate small ragged tent just below the southernmost tower. The tarp is a mossy green and it appears rather vacant. While at first it looks to be something of a begger's hole, your first glance at the doorway reveals that the outside is rather misleading.
The tent appears to be a gateway to something akin to a stone tunnel. The walls are lit by cold-fire of orange and yellow hues, and the stone that makes up this tunnel looks extremely well worked.
The strange appearance and method yields some obvious questions. Most likely, what you are looking at is a portal that connects the tents entrance to a tunnel somewhere else. The lack of any presence within or outside the tent raises certain other questions. It may well be that whoever invited you here really didn't expect you to show up at noon.

Shard peeks inside, frowns, and looks at the hovel's outside again. Then peeks.
She looks at Haros.
"It's not a tent. I mean...it's a tent here. But not there." The young-looking sorceress rolls her eyes and grimaces. "Just look!"
When he has, she asks, "What do you think it means? Do you think She knows about this?"
By 'She,' Haros knows Shard refers to Undine...she seems to avoid speaking her name lightly.

"That's a good question... one that I don't know the answer to. The influence of the god kings is great in their domain, but as you know from our last escapade, some things go unnoticed."
Edit: [sblock=OOC]Would any of my knowledges reveal anything about the extent to which Undine might know what goes on in her domain, and whether it can be shielded from?[/sblock]

God-Kings are not particularly omnicient, so there's no guarantee she has any idea what's there. However, it is within her city, so she could know by normal means.

Assuming someone pokes their head in, they find that the tent seems to be the equivelent of an oversized bag of holding, or a strange portable hole, or perhaps something akin to the magnificent mansion spell.
After wandering through the first hundred feet of the self-contained environment, you find yourself in what appears to be an oversized study. The walls are ringed with thirty foot high bookshelves, each containing numerous tomes that all look to be a bit larger than necessary. They all lack proper notation on the bindings, and every tome is bound in the same greenish colored fabric.
A man with a wreath of ragged white hair wrapped around his head comes running towards you from the opposite side of the room. "Figures that you'd choose to come at the one damn time I told you not to? My name's Sullivan. Sullivan Davis. I'm the keeper of this humble shanty, for the good of knowledge and all that." The man is roughly four feet tall, though probably human. He's covered in a white and blue robe, and he seems to have adorned himself in various splotches of black and red inks. His most peculiar trait, however, is the thick tome hanging on a necklace around him.
[sblock=Haros]You immediately recognize this man's regalia and markings as that of a believer in Antonidas. Antonidas is the old god of knowledge and magic, and while not actively despised by the Virtues, he's not generally an accepted influence. Antonidas worshippers run the range from mechanically logical and humourless to completely insane and laughing constantly.
Your immediate inclination is that you should take anything this man says with a grain of salt. His size and stature are unthreatening, and you can be fairly confident you could take him down if necessary without much effort. That is, unless he's a favored soul. If that's the case, he might be more dangerous than he looks.[/sblock]

"I'm sorry," Shard says contritely, then does one of her disconcerting shifts...lifting her chin a bit and narrowing her eyes.
"Your message didn't leave us much to go on, and the price of trust is high...higher now than before." Another slip, the icy hauteur turning to thoughtful introspective murmuring...
"It was justifiable to come at the time you might be at a disadvantage...for at the moment, you seem to know us far better than we know you. Yes...justifiable."
Then she extends a hand and chirps girlishly, "I'm Shard. I used to be with some desert people, but now I'm with Haros."

"I am Haros, servant of the virtues. We had only intended to learn the nature of you and your invitation before attending. Of course once we saw this place, one must understand how one might be curious. I merely assumed you would be absent until the stated time. If we are interrupting, we could come back..." says Haros, as he straightens up, as if ready to depart.
