: Who are you?
: I am Irina, the Rom Baro's daughter.
: His 'unmarried' daughter.

'Unmarried' meaning 'unmarried for tonight'.

: What do you do?
: I tell your fortune, no? I can predict the future. I know many things that others do not.
: For instance, I know that your Karma is very, very high. Ooh, you must be a great magic user, eh?

Not for another three dungeons missy.

: Now, you want fortune told, yes?
: Yes, thank you.
: Oh, walk carefully, Avatar. Today, your balance and grace will leave you. You will stumble and reel like the drunkard.
: You know, Avatar. I've been looking for a husband suitable for the daughter of the Rom Baro. I want... not a boy who delivers the goulash, but the man who will give it to me.

I don't understand exactly what she is suggesting here.

: Yes, who can give me all that I want!

Does she just want us because we're richer than God?

: Perhaps you can be that man, no?

Or does she want to "weigh anchor and just, you know, relax for a few hours"?

: Can you tell me where the sigil is and what the mantra might be?
: I know not of such things. Go and ask Morganna.

Another clue!

: Maybe she can tell you of these things. I can tell you about your future and about love.
: Who is Morganna?
: She's an old woman. Her sight has faded and she can no longer see into the future and read a man's fortunes.
: She can not do the things for you that I can.



: I'm sorry, but I'm not looking to get married.
: That's okay, you can give me things anyway.

I still don't know for sure what she wants us to give her.

: Thank you. Goodbye.

That's right Avatar. She probably has AIDS or SARS or something anyway.






: I see that it is your wish to help us rather than hurt us. For that I will help you.
: What is your name, kind lady?
: My name is Morganna. Long have I lived here and now I await the rest of eternal peace.
: Can you tell me where the entrance to the column is?
: It is in the Blackrock Mines of Covetous. There you will also find the Blackrock Crystal Ball. This Ball, it reveals the future without error.
: You can use the Crystal Ball to show the gypsies what will become of them if they do not change their selfish ways.
: May I have the mantra to the shrine?
: Yes, Avatar, it is 'CAH'. Remember to use this mantra in your meditation and the shrine will be restored, no?
: Now I have told you all that I can, and I may go to my rest.
: But first, I pronounce a curse on Blackthorn! He will die... alone, defeated by a man he betrayed, scorned by his only ally!

Foreshadowing is an important literary device.






Huh. How about that.
