"We've just been given a task, and we are to begin on the morrow! It seems a lot more interesting than the other prophecy I was given, I'm sure it will be... er, fun is not exactly the word. Interesting. If you don't mind, we were wondering if we could spend the night here at the temple, for I'm sure the others would prefer to sleep inside, rather than out. Also, one more thing. I talked to the Oracle, and she didn't seem to recall ever meeting you. A bit odd, as you said that she often comes down here. Ah, well, no matter, she may have just forgotten. Mortal minds tend to degrade over time, after all, and she is quite old looking."
Aegore takes a look at the two newcomers, nods, and says, "You may spend the night here. Yes, the Oracle hasn't seen me like this, but we did meet many years ago. Must have forgotten me, something or other."
He looks around, and gestures to the area around the Statue of Apollo, "You can sleep there. I see you have bedrolls in those packs of yours, no?"

"Hello! We're the company!" Acacia gestures to herself and Zoe, smiling to the man. "We're heading to Mount Caucasus in the morning. Do you happen to know where that is?"
"Hello,"Aegore says, his eyes shining bright yellow for a moment, "I am Aegore. The Caucasus is not a singular mountain, young tree. It is a whole range of mountains east of the Euxine Sea."

"Sadly, no,"He smiles, "I was indeed not a snake when I met the Oracle. Anyway, the journey. It should take you quite a long time, no wonder the Oracle wants you to leave in such a hurry."

Pittheus listens to the others' prophecies, reading over his own between. "Mine is just as cryptic. Minstrel of the muse of eloquence, Follower, faithfully, of legends' intelligence. Keep the lore of deities and powers, And fall way by death-sprouted flowers."
Pittheus looks again at his written prophecy. Talking about Fate in general, he thinks, Am I missing something? He sits down and starts going through his notes and books, trying to find something that might help him find the link he's missing that Aegore talks about. "Do you mean THE Fates?"
"Perhaps,"Aegore says, "I am not adept at prophecy interpretation, as many who try end up with an unfavorable end, but Fates' binding could be disastrous."

(Didn't we also get other prophecies just now, in the form of scrolls? Or did I misread something.)
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."

"I suppose I can't see the harm in sharing them out. Here's mine:
Bronze one, armored, forged with fire,
Lowly master of creation's desire,
Discover fate to capture godly rot,
The choice of death, yours to bring or naught.
Odd that the last line reads 'naught', rather than 'not'. Either that line means something other than I think it does, or the Oracle made a typo."
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
"Interesting. It seems like you and Zoe both have important jobs to do. I'm just kind of along for the ride." Acacia shrugs, unbothered. "Mine says:
Bowed curious tree, reformed by Moon,
Be led by the hunter marked with poon.
Fate-bound mistress may return unturned,
To a newfound world with destiny adjourned."

"Oh," Acacia says, mildly disappointed. "I thought maybe you used to be, like, a snake or something. That would be weird. But cool."

"Mine was..." she pauses and reads from the scroll,
"Woodland tracker, through mythic lands, leads the way,
A clement beast friend, souls will weigh.
Born of hunters who cut the cord,
Destiny's fate, freed with the doubled sword."

"What would happen then?" Acacia asks, curious and a bit afraid. The prophecies made it sound like it would happen.
Iris - Tiefling Cleric | Cassandra - Elf Warlock | Solace - Tiefling Monk | Tempest - Hexblood Monk | Lex - Fire Genasi Barbarian

"It really depends on which Fate is bound," He replies.
