"I was told to find an Oracle here, and that she would tell us what we need to know about the pending darkness, i guess it is this Camazotz. It was from Camihuatl that I got this message. You say she calls herself this Uhti now?"

"Heh, it's changes with the direction of the wind, Ladybird. Though it seems that when one speaks as Uhti, their eyes become empty voids, as of bottomless chasms into worlds unknown. At least, that's the way it looked on Lilanca. I was not near enough to see her when it spoke through the little girl in the square. Plus I was busy deciding whether or not to die."

"So, Formdancer, you can read the warp and weft of time beyond the present? I may have questions for you in the future, should you have any experience with prophecies. Assuming you have time for something other than your own interests, that is. You suggested we all share our knowledge, and then spoke rarely since. What is your story?"

Alright, stop yer jibberin, that thing I discovered a few days back may be what Stormy drew. If it is, it's an egg with a Coatl growing inside and it's in my room right now being looked after by a weird little goblin who's obsessed with protecting it. I hope one of you know something more, that's all I got. "

Kit thinks to see if she knows anything about Coatls.

"So here's a crazy idea. Everyone who doesn't feel they have good cause to help Capt'n Kit to beat the Vampire to the Codex, leave. Any who stay, agree to see this through. Personally, I need to see how this ends or I shall have to pen a most frustrating tale.
"If Sir Kon would be so inclined to retrieve or send for said egg, perhaps we could determine if it truly is the object from the Great Storm's map. If not, following the map would seem to be the first course of action."
"Now, I'll have some tea, please. All this chatter has dried my most precious throat."

"What is this... Coatl... you speak of? I have not heard the term before."

"Lest it be unclear, Bluebard, this puzzle has me intrigued enough to see it through to the end, as does my honor. Though I question the motives of this Uhti, and whether it is wise to relinquish such a powerful item to something that sucks the eyes out of anyone it speaks through."

"We shall see with time whether Uhti is trustworthy. She be my patron and I'm unsure if she's trustworthy now."

"As you have said, fair Seafox. I just wish it known that I have my own reservations, too."

"Come now, little Axe-pint, are you going to send for you goblin and this mysterious seed-egg? I am most curious about what it contains."

"I must confess that my first vision, the one I mentioned earlier, may be a familiar tale to some. I saw the ancient, green people who took the form of bats. They held a talisman that was very dear to them, yet they did not wish to tangle with a vampire again, as that had gone quite badly for them in ages past." I pause, casting an assessing and wary glance toward Kit, then continue. "One of the green people came upon a newly formed god, a paladin, and a wind mage in the dark caverns where they dwell. This party was in search of their sacred talisman, but they were also traveling with a vampire most vile."

I stop to take another sip of tea and glance meaningfully toward Dukalu. "My vision was incomplete. Tell me, Paladin, or your wife, after you had tea with the green elf and he left you, did you pick up a parting gift?"

She looks cautiously at Antethoe, "That’s very similar to what happened to us, yes. We have a parchment with the markings of the ivory codex on it. You’re free to examine it." Kitsune puts it on the table for all to see.
