"There will be one more card in this reading. The spirits are very agitated and would reveal something of your opponent in this quest. Appearently, there is one who opposes what you do. Please cut the cards once more." After Radoon cuts the few remaining cards she passes her hand repeated over the two remaining stacks a frown on her face. She is obviously straining hard, but is unable to decide which card to reaveal. The incence burning in the room seems cloying and the air is thick and warm around you. The light seems to waver; perhaps the boat is being rocked by waves? The little bell topples over and Huldra groans with effort, her lips are turning blue her mouth is clenched so tightly in concentration. Finally, as a trickle of blood flows from one nostril a card twitches just perceptably at the bottom of the stack Radoon moved. She sweeps the intervening cards away with one hand and snatches up the final card in the pile tossing it before Radoon. It filps in the air and lands face up reavealing a skeleton on the deck of a black funerial barge and scyth in hand. A waning moon looks over his shoulder, but the card is upside down. "Someone is fighting the spirits, resisting my efforts." As she says this the card bursts into flames which begin to spread to the table cloth. The old crone lets out a startlingly girlish squeel and doses the fire with the remaining tea. Only a charred spot remains where the card lay. After a moment's tense silence she wipes the blood from her lip and speaks in a choked voice. "The death card is not as bad as most people think, it usually signifies change or transition rather than actual death, but this card was inverted. That usually means a perversion or corruption. In can also signify the undead and necromancy. Your foe is extremely powerful. I have never seen opposition to my readings like this before ever. I can tell you nothing more. Please, do not darken my door again. I do not wish to tangle with such a foe. I bid you good luck and good day."</blockquote>
