I'm asking the old man

[kriven]

Nate enters the hut that the old man lives in. He has come on a mission, battling the terrible forces of evil, like salesmen and little children with dodge balls.

"If you are the wisest one here, then you must know something about that thing that attacked me on the beach." Nate says, sitting infront of the old man.

[The Finger of Fate]

The old man sits there for a short while, thinking about what Nate had just said. "Young man, I know nothing about this "thing". However..." He got up and with the aid of his cane, he walks over toward one of his storage cabinets. "If you like, I can ask the bones."

((XD))

[kriven]

"...the bones?" Nate asks, following the old man to the cabinet.

[The Finger of Fate]

"Yes, the bones," he replies quietly, still not giving much of a hint.

The old man takes out a small pouch and returns to a table. He hums softly to himself, chanting what sounds like a native hymn. Slowly reaching inside for the contents, he spreads them on the face of the flat surface. He continues chanting, reaching out for a bowl of what looks like grey sand and spreading the mixture on top of the 'bones'.

"Ah... a monster! I see a creature with magical properties... strange intentions." The man looks closer, squinting his eyes. "He is after you and your friends... he wants something... something untouchable."

[kriven]

"What is it? What does he want?" Nate asks, eagerly.

[The Finger of Fate]

"The bones... cannot say. But you had better beware, the spirits tell me. Take caution..."

[kriven]

"Thanks." Nate says, he drops a twenty-dollar bill infront of the old man and leaves.
