We are going to have 5 cards laid out, eventually. It will look like a tic tac toe board, with nothing in the corners. This is the 9:00 position, or the position on your left.
Her face draws back in disgust. Nine of Glyphs. The Traitor. The image on the card is a heavyset man looking sideways, with papers in his pocket. Look for a wealthy woman. A staunch ally of the devil, she keeps the treasure under lock and key, with the bones of an ancient enemy.
She pauses, shudders a bit, and draws a breath. She holds her hand over the deck again. This card tells of a powerful force for good and protection, a holy symbol of great hope.
She lays the card in the top position, or 12:00. What is it?
She places this card in the top position, and stifles a gasp. The Tax Collector! The image is a woman - all the cards appeal to be humans - studying a list, with a sack at her feet. The sack has splitting seams, and is spilling coins onto the road around her. The Visanti have what you seek. A missing child holds the key to the treasure's release.
The four of Glyphs, she says. The Shepherd. Another woman, this one standing on a hilltop. She has a staff, but curiously no animals around her. You've seen seer's decks before; they all seem to have these sort of wrinkles to them.
Find the mother - she who gave birth to evil.
These are the treasures that will help you defeat the devil.
She sets aside the Common Deck. Now, she explains, the High Deck. She prepares to draw the top card from the High Deck. This card sheds light on one who will help you greatly in the battle against darkness.
She lays a card in the 6:00 position, at the bottom. What is it?
Are the jokers mixed in? Because they should be in the High Deck. If not, borrow the 2 of diamonds and the 2 of clubs and mix them into the High Deck. Sorry!
The Executioner. A lean man stands on the gallows, looking up at the noose. Seek out the brother of the devil's bride. They call him "the lesser," but he has a powerful soul.
And now, she says, the final card. Your enemy is a creature of darkness, whose powers are beyond mortality. This card will lead you to him!
The Beast, she says, revealing the last card. Of course. The card depicts some sort of shadow monster, with clearly-defined eyes. The beast sits on his dark throne.
She looks up, slightly drained. She appears to be ready for questions.
Well Madam Eva, that's quite a load of information, but what does it mean in the real world, why are we here, did we show up as they say in a vision, even the little broken one outside? What are your people expecting our group to do, defeating a Beast on a throne of darkness seems to be a touch above our pay grade. I mean no disrespect, but this has come to us from a most peculiar direction.
He looks to his companions to see if they have anything to say
Fope was very disturbed that some sort of mind control was used on him by your people. How do we know we are not currently under a spell, or if your people might use that against us again
Please tell us what is going on in this somewhat mysterious land to start
In blue: Thumbs up emoji. Thanks guys. Exhausted after the events of the day, but I was happy to see the action here. Too pooped to post anything intelligent. Tomorrow should be a shorter day and I can contribute.

You're doing fine.
She places this card in the top position, and stifles a gasp. The Tax Collector! The image is a woman - all the cards appeal to be humans - studying a list, with a sack at her feet. The sack has splitting seams, and is spilling coins onto the road around her. The Visanti have what you seek. A missing child holds the key to the treasure's release.
She reaches for the third card from the Common Deck. This is a card of power and strength. It tells of a weapon of vengeance: a sword of sunlight!
What card will go in the 3:00 position, on your right?
4 spades
