You're an oracle?

Name?

It's Seanna.

Seanna... Seanna...
Ah, here it is.

Right this way, if you please.

Isn't she supposed to go to the cathedral?

Ah, the oracles are meeting somewhere else.

Don't worry about me, Kean.
This nice soldier will get me there.

Hmm...
I see.

What's wrong? We'll see each other again in no time!

Seanna.
Don't trust or follow any strangers.

If someone asks for help on the street,
find someone else to help them.

No matter how nice someone looks, don't
eat anything any strangers give you.

Do you understand?

I'm not a child, you know.

But since you're so worried, I'll be extra careful.
Okay?

...

(Kean whispers to Seanna, keeping his eyes on the soldier.)

(Seanna, you mustn't show the blue crystal to
anyone on the street.)

(I'll keep that in mind.)

Ma'am, the others are waiting.

Right!

See you later, Kean and <Karok>!
Good luck!

(The Guard and Seanna walk out of view.)

How strange. That farewell felt strangely final, somehow.
The stress of everything that's happened must be getting to me.

We have work to do. First we'll get permission
from the Royal Army to enter Fobellow Prairie.

Once we've gathered clues from there,
we can see a magician about deciphering them.

And who might you be?

...?
<Karok> and Kean, right?

What's your business here?

We need permission to enter Fobellow Prairie.

That area is off-limits. Only members of the Royal Army
may enter.

There must be some way we can get permission.
I'm on business for the royal castle, you know.

Who let this rabble in here? This is an army base,
not a tavern!

Deputy Commander!

This is Kean, a royal guard.
...And that one's {:name:}, a Coffer Chaser.

A royal guard, eh? Do you have the royal seal?
Show it to me.

Hmm. It's authentic.
Let them in, Gwynn.

But sir!

We have orders from the Pontiff to aid the royal castle.

You, Coffer Chaser. I expect you to be on
your best behavior.

If you step out of line, I won't hesitate to make an example of you.
Understood?

Customers. Excellent.
Let's get this over with.

Excuse my intrusion, sir.
We have some items we'd like you to examine.

Yes, yes, I'm sure it's exceedingly important.
What would you like to show me?

These two Ergs. I want to know if they're from the same place.
And if there's anything... unusual about them.

What could possibly be unusual about an Erg?
Don't answer that. Here, let me see.

...

...Huh. That IS unusual.
I'm sensing a weak divine energy in these crystals.

They're from the same source, I'm sure of it.
Beyond that, there isn't much I can tell you.

You might consider going to Colhen. There's a magician of
some talent named Brynn there.

I wouldn't normally recommend him, but he's done
some research on Erg Crystals.

Great. Thank you.

Wait! Before you leave...
Do you have any more of those Erg Crystals?

I'd be interested in researching them further.
I'll pay you much more than market price if you have any to sell.

I'm afraid we can't spare any just now.

<Karok> happens to be a Coffer Chaser,
if you want to put in a commission to collect more.

You don't say.
Very well. If you find any more crystals, bring them to me.

Marvelous.

We'd better be off to Colhen.

Do come again.
And be sure to bring more interesting specimens.

Well then, so long.
