The Oracle
and
Blueberry
Background:
1) The Oracle was a human man named Chebka, from Farweald.
2) Chebka was a minor wizard who kept his arcane pursuits secret from the superstitious people of Farweald.
3) Chebka somehow contacted and entreated Vecna for favor.
4) Chebka was transformed into a Nothic.
....a. It is unclear if that was a curse or a reward from Vecna
....b. Chebka exhibited several abilities beyond that of more commonly encoutered Nothics
5) Quirinseyru captured Chebka, intending to either help stabilize his fractured soul or at least keep him from hurting others.
....a. Quirinseyru gave Chebka ‘a guardian’ who would be able to resist his powers.
Current Operation:
6) When the party encountered him he was already then known as The Oracle.
7) The tieflings in Farweald knew of The Oracle and occasionally directed adventurers to seek out The Oracle to discover secret information.
8 ) The Oracle would use his abilities to bargain with adventurers. Typically The Oracle would accept magical items or secrets in exchange for information.
9) The Oracle knows of The Master and vis-a-versa
10) The Oracle and The Master are not working together
Resources:
11) The Oracle has several resources
....a. Ogre Magi Henchman (named Blueberry?)
....b. Boots of Levitation
....c. Some kind of large Bag of Holding into which he placed The Master’s treasure chest.
........i. This should have, but did not, cause a rift to the Astral Plane.
....d. The Oracle can telepathically communicate with multiple beings in a wide radius either individually or all at once.
....e. The Oracle did a deep read of Brigga’s mind and uncovered all of her history and secrets.
........i. He did not reveal that information to the PCs though, because they wouldn’t pay his price.
........ii. That means that The Oracle certainly knows things about your history that you have not yet discovered.
....f. The Oracle can discern undiscovered features of your magical items.
Goals:
12) The Oracle wanted to collect one of The Master’s treasure chests.
....a. The PCs traded one to him
13) The Oracle also wanted one of the clone PCs to surrender themselves to him for some unknown purpose in return for finding out who and what The Master is.
....a. Onarra was going to agree
....b. Jareth put a stop to that nonsense.
