the Black orc grunts:
"'ware there me biscuit and yea other; der beeza strange current as something moving in the flux o shadow...closeby and per near givin me da willies."

the head of a golden elf appears in the sky about 15 ft up; the head is about 5ft in diameter; it speaks with elven eloquence; each of you hear him in your home tounge.

"Ah; I was wondering to whom little Beatrice was bandying my name about to; how are you little girl; and who are these; heroes I suppose; interesting; this juxaposition is aligned well as they are in good timing if they act quickly with a strike by a heroic group to save a dwarven homeland far to the east.

Hereos; I am your Emperor; Sebastion is the name; well actually this is only a remote conjuration of my face; but I can see and hear you; ah; look; a cat person wizard; greetingly mageling; you are welcome in the schools of the Empire; report to any Imperial school and you will be accepted and trained in the finest quality attainable. Sigh; running with so called divine parasites I see; ah well; no one is perfect; greetings Elven cousin; Prince of you clan I see; well; tell me your name and I shall have you entered into the lists of nobility at your Princely rank; the five clan kings of dark elves have bowed their knee to me; all surface elfs bow their head to me; the seven remaining dwarven kings bow their knee to me; and most human kingdoms; yes even you Egyptian; your Pharoah dines at my table this eve as he has the last seven; the war against the Snakes is upon us; rally and fight well.

It is well that you fight here; the Roman legions will be needed soon and I can hardly tell them to leave their houses undefended; settle this matter quickly that they may fight the true opponent.

well; my time is short; I will be watching you and you have my blessing; hmm; Acorn; are you still following around this Priestess; though her diety and I are on good terms and I bear it no ill will; you my dear could be so much more; speak my name thrice and to me you shall come; I have need of your skills; perhaps I should send my roving ambassador to check upon you all from time to time; well;

hmm; interesting; you know I dont like Greece very much; having once been prisoner here for many millenia; ah; till that fatefull day when the wounded Kojan freed me of slumbering captivity.

well; start your distraction here soon my friends; it will help the heroes fighting in several other places if the coalition of evil has another thorn in their backside.

fulfill your task and I will grant thee full imperial citizenship.

an elven prince should not be attired so; come to any imperial city son of Lolth; and you shall be properly attired to you rank.

be fearless; be strong; you are fighting for the good of all; your Emperor is with you.

curious; the things that go on in this camp; ah well.

he dissappears.

yes; anything to get you and the rest of yea to leave; I kin tell yea and sorta point yea the way; canna make the trip myself; to old n broken.

gm <He gives you directions; you are pretty certain you can follow them if he is telling the truth; he speaks with knowledge and answers your clarification questions; you feel like you have a good grip on the directions, this conversation takes only a few minutes as the path is pretty clear.>

Ah; sonny; one more thing, no violence is allowed there; no weapons pulled; no magic; no fighting of any sort; even harsh speach kin git you killed; the great Sun God is very active in warding that place and will smite any who violates his peace; any and I mean any may appear before da Oracle and ask their question and seek their answer. Heed this warning well.

Now you also said that you have spoken with "The Oracle." I know of someone who is looking for the Oracle, could you maybe guide us there or provide directions.

To thoronhen:
Hurt, me? (he wheezes a chuckle) only my pride sonny; only my pride. Why did you come here? You should not be here, this place is cursed; you must leave, take what you will, but leave, do not be here after dark; if you are; you are lost, body and soul forever. Flee boy; flee and take your friends with you, there is no help for us. I already spoke to the Oracle, it cost me, but I got my answer; I am damned, my body broken, my penance is to try to warn others (he wheezes and has a coughing fit, the smell is pretty bad of his breath and sweat and other things)

Go young one; go live your life while you can and fear the ocean. Great evil hides there; lurking; waiting; gathering strength. (he shudders and you hear his bones creak)

he gazes at you apparantly trying to discern if you are listening, then his face softens.

You got that creatures get on ya boy; better git it off, n quick too; be bad if you dont; it more than burns boy; it burns the soul. Pity the soul of any who got stung by the creature, I mean with them tentacles; their poison is insidious; takes days to take affect, but the slime aids it; keeps it from iching and driving you crazy; better off being dead than have that happen. (cough, cough) It dont get all though; most, but not all; dont know why yet.

"Beast is dead you say, a moment of silence for poor Aldi" (wheeze; takes off his cap; holds it over his heart; seems to scrunch his eyes and mouth mumbling that sounds like a prayer in intonation; perhaps he is crying; hard to tell with all the sweat and wetness. The words are unintelligible.

Eh; what dat you say sonny? (he wheezes) Give an old man a hand and help me outta dis hole.
