Jokull found the diviner’s words terribly cryptic and not particularly helpful. (Such is ever the way with prophecies, reading of fortunes, and other attempts to see the future. Rarely does one understand the course of events, except after they have already occurred. This naturally leads one to ask: why bother with such divination in the first place. --R). There was some speculation over who the supposed betrayer could be, but they soon abandoned it as being paranoid and discussed possible next steps. Jokull requested the servant Bustable to ask Janatha if she could join them, as her father Queron was out elsewhere on business.Brok-Tul at this point came through the door, still looking somewhat absent-minded and worried, and was welcomed by Rahnee, who apologized for her earlier loss of control. The half-orc hugged her in response and told her not to apologize. Rahnee informed him that they had decided their next move should be to go to Turnton and seek out DeeDee (also known as Melissa), to determine if she would be the “enemy who will guide us” according to the diviner’s words. (A keen insight into her potential role, I believe. --C). Brok-Tul and Veran agreed on the need to visit Turnton, commenting that they still owed High Cleric Carlin for raising Veran and Melissa.Janatha came down the stairs and said hello to the group, inquiring if they had managed to find Seriawan. They answered in the negative, Rahnee and Jokull communicating their disinterest in following up on the matter. Jokull said that there were not many more reasons to stay in Teziir and that they were planning to leave in the morning, which appeared to disappoint Janatha. In response to a question from Rahnee, Janatha said that she had decided to stay in Teziir for another month. Jandrico had previously said he was planning to hire someone else to help out at the Gatereach and her father was eager to have her spend some time in Teziir. Rahnee sympathized with Janatha’s torn emotions, commenting that she would likely feel the same way if she returned to Waterdeep.After the companions had washed up and relaxed for the remainder of the afternoon, they were summoned to dinner with Queron and Janatha. During the meal, they expressed their appreciation for Council Member Queron’s hospitality and informed him they had been able to meet with the diviner, thanks to assistance from the Temple of Helm. Veran commented that he had become somewhat spoiled while at Queron’s, prompting wry comments from both the host and Rahnee about Veran’s appreciation of the food and wine. In response to some questions from Aerikoth about how Teziir was ruled, Queron explained that there were traditionally eleven members on the ruling council, which was determined solely by declared level of wealth. Queron then turned the conversation to the upcoming elections in Westgate, which he informed them would be the first one where all landowners inside the city walls would be allowed to vote.Once the meal of spiced lamb and red wine was concluded, Rahnee mentioned that she would be interested in an evening stroll, commenting that among other things she had not yet managed to visit the Temple of Tymora. Brok-Tul excused himself to be alone, saying he was somewhat dizzy from the wine and what had occurred, which made him unfit for company, but praising Queron’s hospitality once again. Aerikoth, for his part, preferred to remain at Queron’s. After saying their good-byes to Queron and Janatha, Rahnee left the house accompanied by Jokull and Veran.</blockquote>
