“The Dragonspade Kingdom, I believe that was it,” Halec adds, thinking back to the mayor’s explanation. “What sort of situation exactly is going on between your kingdoms? That could provide our answer regarding the act of terrorism.”
"Who would even stand to benefit from such a thing?" Halec says. "Does your city have any enemies? If they had sought to use the power of the relic for some other purpose that would be one thing, but thus far we've just found the shards wherever they happened to land, no agents of a malevolent force have been out trying to gather up the pieces, to the best of our knowledge. The timing is suspect, given that it was at a time you said your armies are all committed to some crusade elsewhere. Have you tried recalling them to aid with this threat, your military forces?"
Halec ponders the scenario for a moment, then holds up a finger. "Maybe this is the key. Mr. Mayor, you didn't go into much detail before. What precisely in the nature of this military engagement that required the entirety of your city's standing armies? That could be our answer. Perhaps this was an act of war, intended to get you to call off your war efforts to set troops to the more pressing matter, the collection of the relic shards. Maybe that's the key. Where is your military now, and what are they up to, precisely?"
Halec reiterates for the others who were not present, "When the Ruby Snowflake was shattered, the mayor reached out to those convenient in the crowd for aid, promising them an unspecififed fortune - specifics would still be appreciated, by the by - if the relic can be restored. I inquired as to why he wouldn't deploy the city's own military and militia, and he said they were all deployed elsehwere. Only now does it occur to me that those surely must be connected."
He sighs heavily "Whoever has shattered it really waited for our military to be gone, they'd be quite cunning. Oh, our military? They've gone off to deal with a demon or something was trapping the draconic, and even other common folk inside these large eggs, hoping to make his own army? I'm not sure, I never get good detail from them, and how do you expect me to contact them from this far away? I may be the mayor, but I'm no sage." He now looks very stressed

I would ask, "Can you see more? Give me more information? "
"All I see is the shadow of a figure, they appeared to look and act like a friend, but was actually a foe. Like most other fortune tellers, my crystal ball has limited powers and cannot give away the exact events."
Halec continues to work with the mayor, the map, pen and ink, to try to make a somewhat comprehensive regional map that includes the location of all of the current bounty posts, all of the “found” shards, as well as the projected shard travel paths for the 3 Igna identified.
OOC: This might take a while in character, and he would do this intentionally at the Adventurers Chateau, a great place to be visible to Adventurers and possibly recruit more, including our other new PC.

With the mayor's help, you were able to determine the mountain the museum rests on was the landing point of one of the pieces Igna saw. He circles the parts of the map where the bounties are being held; Zorre's and Lissia's bounties are in the forest, Abygail's village is on the same mountain as Malison History Museum, and the Temple of Trickery Midar's tournament is held is in the center of a beach on the west side of the kingdom. (The three pieces Igna saw landed in the western part of Snakeskin Valley)
“It looks like this confirms the museum as a good choice, and this girl’s village could be another,” Halec says. “I think this reaffirms the museum is a good next stop.”
Louder, so all the assembled adventurers at the Chateau can here, Halec says, “The region is in peril. If any of you would pledge your blades to our cause, we seek to restore the Ruby Snowflake. Would any of you join this admirable quest?”
"A museum, wonderful. Perhaps they can tell us more about what this Snowflake can do," Nahu says as they settle in at the table. "I am quite excited to set out and explore this area."

I would chime in that after that, I would suggest us to go to the arena to get the " Weird shard "

Harbek is silent for a while and then says "that seems possible" the he looks at the mayor "where is the dragonspade kingdom located?"
I pay up.
Assuming I had my fortune read, I walk back to the gang, but first taking a detour to the prison to check out Anthony.
When I return, I say " Friends, I bring grave news. Anthony has passed away, he will never live to destroy Slough. "
Then I notice the others " Hey, who are your new companions? What are we up to now? "
When he takes your coins, he glances at the crystal ball, his hands dancing around the glass orb. "I see... a great betrayal in your future."
He sighs heavily "Whoever has shattered it really waited for our military to be gone, they'd be quite cunning. Oh, our military? They've gone off to deal with a demon or something was trapping the draconic, and even other common folk inside these large eggs, hoping to make his own army?

"Oh, It is in the far south of Firefell, though would take you about two week to get there and back here. Curse that cold-blooded ba***rd."
I would ask, "Can you see more? Give me more information? "
"All I see is the shadow of a figure, they appeared to look and act like a friend, but was actually a foe. Like most other fortune tellers, my crystal ball has limited powers and cannot give away the exact events."
" Oh. Well, thank you for your time. "
THEN, when i get back, I tell them what I heard.
Harbek looks up "thats strange"

OOC: Harbek already said he was in so i wont keep repeating it
"A museum, wonderful. Perhaps they can tell us more about what this Snowflake can do," Nahu says as they settle in at the table. "I am quite excited to set out and explore this area."
OOC: This is more for Soren Shadeweld's benefit, to give them an opportunity to introduce their character.
OOC: sounds good
I would chime in that after that, I would suggest us to go to the arena to get the " Weird shard "
