	You follow Grooja out of his hut and along a vermin-
Š	infested path which wends a tortuous route through a 
Š	maze of slum dwellings and festering rubbish dumps. 
Š	After a mile or so, this rough track ascends into a 
Š	wooded hillside and then ends upon a plateau which 
Š	overlooks the harbour. From here you can see Jenkshi 
Š	and his crew working on ιThe Azanι by the light of a 
Š	hundred oily torches. With undisguised pride, Grooja 
Š	points to the Shrine of the Oracle and invites you to 
Š	avail yourself of its wisdom. The shine consists of a 
Š	man-sized statue constructed from rusting metal and 
Š	chunks of driftwood held together with nails, strips 
Š	of animal skin, and twisted steel wire. You decide to 
Š	humour Grooja and so you ask the statue to tell you 
Š	if there is anyone you should trust of distrust 
Š	during your long journey to Suhn. As expected, you 
Š	get no response. But then a wind arises and it makes 
Š	a faint whistling sound as it passes through the 
Š	holes in the statue. For a fleeting moment you think 
Š	you hear the words 'ιBad...dragon...is goodι', but then 
Š	the wind dies and there is nothing but silence. 
Š	Grooja smiles. He seems to think that the oracle has 
Š	spoken a great truth. 

	"Come, we go now. The Oracle speaks but once a day. 
Š	It has given you good wisdom. You are blessed."
