The Halfling Seer

I was on my way to the Antonica docks to catch a bell to Thundering Steps when I came across a crowd gathered near the drawbridge. I moved my steed closer and caught a glimpse of a little halfling standing in the center. Lending a ear, I heard the halfling, Jeahara, say to a half elf, "Now ask me a question".

And everyone in the crowd did just that. "WoWill I find love", "Will I have a family", "Become a great hero", and much more in that same vein. Intrigued, I took a number a took my place in a not so orderly line.


Now I could also hear the fortunes being told, and well, they seems a bit preoccupied with gnolls, death, cookies. A half elf asked about a family in her future and was rewarded with te following fortune;


"Yes! You will Marry a Gnoll and have many Gnoll children!"

and was given a wooden puppy on which to practice her parenting skills. Another asked if he would be the best fighter and was told,

"You will fight the best...oh my! You will fight the best when your house is infested with cheese eating...err...GNOLLS".

When prompted, I shouted out that I was nnumber 4 and soon it was my turn to ask my question:

"I wish to know if I will have many a swashbuckling romanitc adventure" I asked.

Jeahara answered, "Yes, but you'll regret it."

I then said, "arent all fun things to be regretted later?"

Jeahara said, "You should become a night housewife...and bake me cookies!"

"I like cookies but my cousin is the baker in the clan" I replied.

Jeahara stated, "I see it in your future"

"Will the cookies keep the fleas away?" was my next question.

In response Jeahara then handed me a tortured halfling skeleton and said "This..however..he didnt follow my advise and he died!. Sad isn't it."

And I realized that she was indeed a true seer of the future and muttered,"oh dear, he tasted my cookies!".
