The Danger Gang Auxiliary Meet The Oracle Of Didima
Following the rumors of the local yokels at Ephisius, the Danger Gang Auxiliary find the Oracle Of Didima. She's a crazy old woman with crazy eyes and she is crazy. A woman emerges from the woods (Eorl recognizes her as one of the Orthaens, now aligning herself with some other paganism). She explains that they must offer up something of value and write down their questions and the Oracle will offer her response.
Eorl offers up Hero's gold shawl and asks her about the text that caught fire when they were fighting the Orthaens. She tells him (a response?).
Arben asks about the location of Phillip IV's phylactery, offering up a couple of pages of spell book detailing spells he failed to learn and a couple hundred gold pieces. Her response if "Hemopolis. Criss Cross."
Cyril asks her (something else?) offering up his precious (physical object?). She tells him (information pertaining to his question in her signature vague style?).
Everyone seems happy with this little exchange, and so they say their goodbyes, excited to begin the last leg of their return trip to Chrysopolis, despite Eorl's protestations that there is some kind of underwater dungeon, maybe with bullshit golden horseshoes in it.
