[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 2447853, member: 1656"] Fin, likewise, passes on what he learned from a Reading on The Book. "[COLOR=SlateGray]The evil vampire was supervising the good mage who faked up this 'book of ancient prophecy'. Whether the mage was possessed by undead demon spiders at the time or not, I couldn't tell you.[/COLOR]" "[COLOR=SlateGray]Fake book or not, the ritual itself seems sound. If there's an ancient demon, it looks like it should bind it. The question, though - if an evil vampire mastermind wants us to bind a demon, is it a demon we should be binding?[/COLOR]" "[COLOR=SlateGray]Assuming this 'prophecy' does lead us to Aleena, we're still left with the fact that the demon-binding ritual has no relevance to her abductor - an evil fey. Whether he's working with the vampire, or competing against the vampire, we don't know.[/COLOR]" "[COLOR=SlateGray]And, of course, we have the suggestion that perhaps the vampire mastermind killed off some of his own henchmen during the attack on Peregion - that mystery knife lends credence to the possibility he was there. As to why? It seems unlikely the attack was a fake... it's hard to convincingly attack someone while reliably leaving them alive, with a flaming ballista![/COLOR]" Fin runs a hand through his hair, looking a little harried. "[COLOR=SlateGray]I [i]hate[/i] time limits,[/COLOR]" he mutters. "[COLOR=SlateGray]Perhaps Oberon will answer all our questions for us,[/COLOR]" he offers, though the joke suffers substantially from an unconvincing delivery. [/QUOTE]
