prophesy.. a little help appreciated.

[chrispenycate]

As this was a 'workshop' thread I was expecting 'competitive prophesy'. There is, as far as I can tell, nothing to prevent a 'be the best to write my story for me' thread, and I might be the only one who considers a rhymed verse optimal for oracular pronouncements.

The short dialogue piece appended was to demonstrate that a certain level of imprecision could be useful for a prediction, rather than detracting from it.

no i like the rhyme idea because that makes it easier to remember if it's been passed down by word of mouth. i haven't decided how it's to be released to the other characters yet. I'm kinda thinking a wall in a cave type ting but I'm not sure about that yet. a magical scroll might be a better idea for the world setting. but I'll have to cross that bridge when we come to it.

Well Chris I thought you hit the nail on the head with the old rhyming thing. Course those with an artistic skill could add in a nice ancient pentographical map of the sky that show the alignments. Maybe this could be another clue hidden inside some old cave that was King Bladworts dungeon way back when, when the prophesy was cast. After all we don't want to make it too easy for the interpid flesh eating hero.
