[QUOTE="pacdidj, post: 5226579, member: 86793"] Auntie Mab takes this as an affirmation that Earth does indeed want a tarot reading. She immediately pulls the cards out and begins shuffling and humming loudly to herself, apparently oblivious to the rest of what the warforged says, or perhaps studiously ignoring his aspersions upon her character. [COLOR=Pink]"Now pay attention dearie," [/COLOR]she says, tapping the warforged on the arm, [COLOR=Pink]"You need to cut the cards and handle them for a moment, so they can absorb your aura." "There now,"[/COLOR] she says, accepting the deck back once it's been cut. She places the deck in front of her and waves her hands in a circling motion a few inches above intoning, [COLOR=Pink]"Will this poor [I]scrumgrum[/I] who calls himself Earth ever find his way back to his people in Arcadia? And how will he fare in his adventures?"[/COLOR] She then lays out three cards face down in a row in front of her. She clears her throat with a dainty noise, and then proceeds to flip over the leftmost card. [COLOR=Pink]"This card represents an important element in your past love. Ah, the three of swords. I see that you've recently been through a period of rest and respite after conflict. One might almost say you've been [I]inactive [/I]for a very long period of time,"[/COLOR] she says, giving the warforged a shrewd look. [COLOR=Pink]"Of course, this is because no one ever told you about the other [I]scrumgrums [/I]before! I'm sure now you'll want to go out looking for them. No more of this inactive complacency! "And that brings us to the present,"[/COLOR] she says flipping over the middle card. [I][COLOR=Indigo]*Squeak!,* [/COLOR][/I]says the rat, apparently having taken a small interest in the proceedings. You think you detect a note of startlement and worry in his small voice. [COLOR=Pink]"Yes Tristram, this bodes ill indeed. The Chariot. It's a Major Arcana, and it's reversed!
