Dame Morrogrim peers deeply into the eyes of the dwarf. She quickly moves the various cups, plates and assorted items that have been collected by the newly arrived individuals to the edge of the table. Once again, she smooths the deep purple table cloth and picks up the candle stick, moving it closer to her for better light.
“Please sit here, good Dwarf.” She motions to a seat closer to her.
“This is not the typical setting for a reading. It is a bit too loud for such a personal question. Please lean closely to me, as I do not plan to yell.”
[sblock=If you want to hear the reading, you will have to move closer.]
She lowers her head and closes her eyes meditatively.
“I suspect you are in fine accordance with your god, as you are still in this plane. But, let us see what the cards have to say.” She shuffles the cards thrice and then begins to lay them on the table.
The first card she places in between Tirgas and herself. It faces toward Dame Morrogrim.
[sblock=1st Card]

“This is your attitude you are assuming. The card is the Regina di Dischi. You are walking with your feet to the ground, close to the earth. Providing assistance where you can and appreciating all in this existence.”
She pulls a second card from the deck and sets it to the right of the first. It faces towards Tirgas.
[sblock=2nd Card]
[/sblock]
“This is Lentulo or the Moon, it represents your thoughts and feelings that underly your attitude. You have become calm and meditative, which has helped you overcome many obstacles, temptations or minor setbacks. You feel this may be the dawning of a new day; perhaps even experiencing increased psychic abilities?” She glances up from the cards to look at Tirgas for a brief second.
The third card is placed at the top of the center card, closest to Tirgas. It faces toward Dame Morrogrim.
[sblock=3rd Card]
[/sblock]
“This tells us how your attitude is evolving. This is the 7 Dishci card. You are taking a pause; a moment to assess the progress of your situation. This is the time to evaluate your future options.”
She draws the fourth card and places it to the left of the center. It is reversed and faces Tirgas. Dame Morrogrim pauses while tapping the card with her finger.
[sblock=4th Card]
[/sblock]
“This card tells us how others, or in this case, your god, perceives your attitude. It is 3 Spade.” She looks up to meet Tirgas gaze as she speaks.
“It speaks of something not right with your relationship with your god. A painful truth needs to be brought out in the open. You need to not be brought down by negativity, but understand that this revelation needs to happen for all to move forward positively.”
Dame Morrogrim pauses, letting her words set in, and then returned to the deck and removed the last card. She places it at the bottom of the spread, closest to herself. It faces toward Dame Morrogrim.
[sblock=5th Card]
[/sblock]
“This card represents the personal obstacle that is preventing you to achieve what you desire. This card is the 6 Anfore.” A slight smile forms in the corner of her mouth. She looks back up at Tirgas.
“You must go out and enjoy life, innocently, as a child. You are too focused on your desire to please, you are unable to understand what you want to achieve. The answer is out there, it is what you left behind. Go out and find that old friend, playfully embrace life and love, breath in the natural forces and the path to your god will be open.”
She pauses, allowing Tirgas to study the finished spread. After a few moments, she slowly picks up the cards individually, in reverse order and returns them to the deck.

“I hope that my reading gives you some insight on your situation, good Dwarf.”
