[QUOTE="Scotley, post: 2510950, member: 11520"] [b]The Fortune Teller[/b] Hrulda takes the cards back from you and passes them from hand to hand three times while chanting with her grating elderly voice in an unintelligeble language that makes the hairs stand on the back of your neck. She places them on the table before Rook again, taps the table three times, then takes up a tiny silver bell and rings it twice. With no perceptable movement on her part the bell rings a third time softly. [COLOR=DarkRed]"Good, the spirits are ready. We will turn three cards, one for that which you seek, one for you, and one to answer your question. Please cut the cards and I will turn the card representing that which you seek."
