Numair looks suitably out of place in the tavern as his clean and well-dressed appearance contrasts strikingly with the dismal tavern. He doesn't mind giving the locals another thing to gawk at - with all eyes likely on Ally, Ruul, and himself, the subtler members of the group will hopefully only draw a passing glance.

He walks right up to the bar and looks around for the 'bard' that Jashanah mentioned. If such a person isn't immediately obvious, he sits down and orders a glass of Varisian red. He sorely missed it at dinner, and thinks the tavern may be better stocked.

Sorry, no bards tonight. The very comely barkeep pours you and your friend each a glass of red. "Four bits total, sweetie."

Ally briefly summarizes the descriptions of the Harbinger entity that Roondar and Azaurant spoke of, then asks, "Lady Desna, is this being sufficiently known to you that you can provide us with guidance? We are not afraid to break new ground in the name of our Divine Patrons, but we appreciate Your wisdom."

"Yes and no." Technically, this is Question 3 commune,, but the call center is feeling generous. This is a freebie.

Assuming the answer is yes, Ally will next ask the question Ruul posed which LM answered in the previous post. Question 3.

Ally will then ask the question suggested by Macavity, "Dearest Goddess, are there agents of the Harbinger at Gundrun?"

"Yes" This is Question #3 Commune

"Are there agents of the Harbinger at the Camp that we are heading to?"

"No." This is Question #4 Commune

That's 4 questions gone. Ally can do this every week at no cost, so it's not tremendously vital to get every question exactly right, and her goddess is probably more patient than Asmodeus. We shouldn't waste Desna's time either though.

"Is the Harbinger trying to take over or otherwise gain power directly through the city of Tsar?"

"No, it is insignificant." This is Question #5 Commune

"You have one question left sweetie, no rush, just fifteen seconds."

"We will prepare what defenses we can but it is important we not let this Harbinger turn us from our path. The Ten have trusted this task to us. We cannot fail."

The minotaur turns his attention to the meditating familiar.

"Is the Harbinger's interest in us connected to our mission in Tsar?"

The assumption is that the question is asked as part of the commune spell, if not, then let me know.

"Yes"

This is question #2 Commune

"The commune lasts for about a minute. I can take suggestions as I go of questions to ask Her, but make it quick."

Ally settles into a lotus position and assumes a meditative pose. Within moments, you feel a warm, benevolent presence emanating from her, counteracting the darkness surrounding the ship.

Casting Commune, which allows 6 questions and lasts 12 rounds. People can talk and suggest questions for Ally to ask. She is going to start off with one of her own.

"Lady Desna, your humble servant, Alliriyallin, beseeches you. We have been attacked by servants of a being they called the Harbinger. Do you know of this being?"

"Sorry, all lines are currently busy. If this is an actual emergency, please press or say 1." Sorry, couldn't resist.

In dreamy tones, you hear"Please be more specific."

This is question #1 Commune
