Ink arches an eyebrow, and comments, "Hopefully, Amman is not offended by Bahamut..."
Ink takes a deep breath, makes a silent prayer, and asks Matrix's question in Giant to the oracle, "Our brave compatriot, Matrix, new friend of giantkin and a pivotal part of the effort to restoring the Ordning, wishes to understand if 'the spirits of the monastic order, the Fists of Bahamut, rest at piece.'"
"no." Matrix's eye goes wide, fists clenched "So, even in burial I have failed them. Tell me then, how may I grant them their peace?"
The Oracle answers in booming giantish, “You cannot grant them what they already possess. They decline as they drift through the astral sea, in the shadow of their god.”
"what else would I assume given what I... what happened?" As Matrix turns to step away he hesitantly places his hand on Ink's shoulder "thank you for this Ink, it means more then you can know"
Ink steps into the circle and yells in Giant, "The key to the squid lich necromancer abberation of Noaner's Hold is his peripat - where does he keep it hidden?"

“The key to the power of the Alhoon is hidden beneath elaborate magics, under the keep of stone and timber.”
The chamber is now lit only by the light of the final lantern and the dull, crackling light from the portal.
Ink steps back in the circle and asks in giantish, "I seek to rediscover the greatness that was Ostoria and show the world that which it lost in the Thousands Year War, what path do we take that will allow us access to the great capital of Ostoria, VONINHEIM???"
“The abandoned home of the Titans lies buried, lost beneath a sea of ice. Finding the capital of Ostoria will require the united will and power of all the giants, from the greatest to the least. The path begins in the Ice Spires, north of Ironslag.”
The last lantern goes out, and the room is silent but for the faintly booming portal.
“It’s about to close!” Harshnag says. “Quickly now, before we get ourselves stuck in here.”
Ink replies, "I think you need to be more specific. Especially given that I am asking the question."

“The souls of those slain atrophy in the presence of the hoarder.” The Oracle speaks with derision in the giant tongue.
Two of the six lanterns have extinguished along with the answers.

"Ohhh.... Of course. To the giants, dragons are hoarders - which is not off the mark, honestly," Ink says with a chuckle.
"Matrix, why did you assume the worst for your brethren when they died?" Ink asks outside the circle.

"Thieves, spies, and assassins—the small folk meddle in affairs beyond their ken, and their true purpose is hidden even from them."
The fourth lantern snuffs out.

Ink steps out of the circle as the fifth lantern extinguishes, commenting, "Well, I guess he keeps his souls close to home."
After a thought, Ink continues, "Hopefully, the All-Father means the cellar and not the Underdark."
