Quollo replies with a smile, "I already knew that Namira. I just like to see how people make decisions without knowing how thing will work out". She grabs a crystal ball from behind her and delicately places it infront of her. The prophet places her hands on it and explains, "Afew years ago, I was going about my daily life and then you walked past. At the time it was a regularity for a dragonborn to be walking around our village, so it was a surprise when I felt an urge to read your future. So I looked into my crystal ball and -". Quollo's eyes suddenly went glowed white and her voice change tone into something more powerful and divine. She spoke:
"The chosen one is bound by fate,
To rid her tribe of greed and hate,
Accompanied by two souls in one,
A warrior who is weaker than none,
And follower of the Lord of the Dead,
All their enemies turn to lead,
The heroes will journey to the land of flame,
To find the power that they will claim,
They will be the stuff of lore,
And the Fire King will be no more!"
The light fades from Quollo's eyes and she sits down, exhausted from the prophecy.
Quollo replies, finding it difficult to speak due to the energy used to deliver the prophecy, "Do you q-question my diniviation skills. I as-assure you that I am real prophet".
"Each of these so called prophets says that. And there are far too many liars in this world, to simply believe what everyone tells you. But whatever... What can you tell me about this Fire King? I hear this name for the second time in a few days, but it doesn't ring a bell.", you can see that Namira is still rather sceptic about this prophecy or so, but wants to know more before putting final judgement.
"Also, if no one even knows who this 'Fire King is,' Glynbalar says, "why on earth should we bother traveling to some 'land of flame' to vanquish him?"
Quollo replies to Glynbalar, "I tell the future, not dictate it. I assure you, if I could the world would be very different.", she turns to Namira, "His name is Alvin Quillsharpener. He's a former gnome adventurer. One of his last trips sent him to your tribe, leading me to believe he is a good source of knowledge."
Quollo points toward an intersection in the dirt road, "If you want to reach him, go down that way. Turn left when you see the statue of two figures shaking hands. Continue straight until you find the house decorated with a partially scorched oak."
"That's why i want to find out everything i can about this Fire King and his involvement with my people. Then, i'll decide what i want to do with this knowledge. It's my tribe we're talking and if i would be able to somehow help them, i'll do it.", she said in reply to Glynbalar's words, before giving her answer to the prophet. "I believe we have nothing else to ask you. Thank you for your time.", after that Namira turned to others, "So, let's go see this gnome guy." she started walking in the direction Quollo pointed.
Once you reach Alvin's house, you realise Quollo was serious about the oak being scorched. A black mark climbs up the huge tree, taller than each of you. The house itself isn't very interesting. A small cottage with a red tiled roof and a friendly wooden door.
Oniestra stands right to the left of her friend Namira and cracks her knuckles with intensity in her eyes.
Glynbalar leans against a wall (or cart, or something) nearby and casually pulls out a dagger and starts sharpening the blade.
Quollo replies with a smile, "I already knew that Namira. I just like to see how people make decisions without knowing how thing will work out". She grabs a crystal ball from behind her and delicately places it infront of her.

The light fades from Quollo's eyes and she sits down, exhausted from the prophecy.
Oinestra stood her jaw went a bit slack and blinked. "Bad juju"
Glynbalar whistles. "That sounded like a legitimate prophecy. Those are rare."
"Or are made up." Namira quickly replies to Glynbalar's words.
OoC: Can i make an Insight Check on the Quollo to maybe find out if the prophecy is a lie?
Rolling just in case: 4
Namira can't tell whether it's fake or not.
Quollo replies, finding it difficult to speak due to the energy used to deliver the prophecy, "Do you q-question my diniviation skills. I as-assure you that I am real prophet".
"Each of these so called prophets says that. And there are far too many liars in this world, to simply believe what everyone tells you. But whatever... What can you tell me about this Fire King?

Quollo replies, "I don't know anything about this 'Fire King'. It only came to me in the prophecy. However, I might know someone who knows more."
"Why did i think it would be that easy... Who do we need to find and where to finally get some answers?"
"Also, if no one even knows who this 'Fire King is,' Glynbalar says, "why on earth should we bother traveling to some 'land of flame' to vanquish him?"
(Sorry I haven't replied in ages, I'll write soon I'm just really busy)
Quollo replies to Glynbalar, "I tell the future, not dictate it. I assure you, if I could the world would be very different.", she turns to Namira, "His name is Alvin Quillsharpener.

"Gnome it is then" Oinestra says with a nod and will follow when ready.
(Is everyone else ready to go to Alvin's house?)
(If you don't answer in the next 24 hours I'll assume everyones ready)
(It's fine, let's go... I personally didn't respond, because I didn't have time to read what happened so far, so I was, and still am, kinda lost.)

Once you reach Alvin's house, you realise Quollo was serious about the oak being scorched. A black mark climbs up the huge tree, taller than each of you. The house itself isn't very interesting. A small cottage with a red tiled roof and a friendly wooden door.
Namira, not knowing if it's private house or Alvin's workshop of sorts, will step forward and knock on the door.
