Rhun's I6: Ravenloft - IC Thread

[Queenie]

[Sblock]Do these readings seem like they are correct to Esme? I mean, based on the card does Esme agree with how they are being interpreted?[/sblock]

[sblock=For Queenie]

Esme is fairly certain that the old gypsy is giving an accurate interpretation of the cards, at least in their relevance to your group's presence in Barovia.

"As you suggest" Ryan says, and flips over the next card. "But we would also appreciate advice of a more ... conventional nature."

 

[Rhun]

"Perhaps after the reading," she says, chuckling under her breath as Ryan turns the next card. "This card is good for you," she says, her eyes shifting to the darkest corners of the tent, as if fearful of what might be listening in the shadows. "This is a card of power and strength, the victor's card. It tells of a weapon of Light, a weapon with a vengeance." The card shows a room containing a pair of luxurious, overstuffed chairs near a roaring hearth, with walls lined with books. "Seek this weapon in a place of tranquility, a harbor for the wise and learned. A place that holds the great secrets of history. Therein, the powers of good will aid you, blessing you with skill and protection."

She turns to Delkat, looking at him expectantly. "Come, priest of the sun. The final card is for your choosing."

Delkat

Reluctantly, the priest goes forward and picks a card from the stack.

 

[Rhun]

"Ah," says the old woman, holding her hand over Delkat's chosen card and closing her eyes as if she can feel power coming from the card. "The root card! Out of Darkness and Chaos, this card finds reason and foundation for Darkness and Chaos. It shows the purpose of all things, and is the key to life and death and else beyond!"

Upon the card is the image of a gleaming sword, with an ornate hilt chased in gold and platinum. A white-blue light seems to flicker along the weapon's blade, holding the surrounding darkness at bay. The crone's eyes move amongst your group, flicking from one person to the next as if searching for something. "This is a high and noble card. One of you carries a weapon that is stronger than any other against the Evil of this land. But one part of this weapon is missing. Seek this missing part within the mighty fortress of Ravenloft itself! Be warned, though...the Devil knows you carry this weapon. He fears it as he fears the sun itself, and seeks to destroy the weapon and he who bears it!"

"Thank you, madam. I'm sure that these riddles may be very useful" Ryan says. "So, any mundane advice that you are willing to add?"

 

[Fenris]

Kyranvik watches as each card is turned over and listens to the advice of the gypsy woman. He shakes his head after each one.

I hope Esme can see more in these predictions than I can he thinks.

 

[Rhun]

"Mundane advice, eh?" asks the crone, tittering quietly. "There is strength in numbers...stay close to one another. Fear darkness and shadow, for there is good reason here. And heed the cards, of course!" Madam Eva cackles loudly.

 

[Fenris]

Ky laughs at the advice of the crone and turns to Ryan. "Be careful what you ask for Ryan, you may get it. If you ask again perhaps she will tell you to keep your feet dry and not spit in the eye of a dragon!" laughs the warrior.

"But seriously Madame Eva, thank you for your fortunes. I have come to respect fortune telling through Esme here. i only hope we can figure out their meanings in time." adds Ky
