What's the fucking spell?

I was skeptical of augury because the way it's written in the book is like, oh, you ask the DM a question about the future, and he says, hand or wheel or hand in, it's like, it's good, it's bad, or the eight ball is like, I don't know, check back later.

And I was like, that seems...

Seems lame.

No offense, no offense, but I talked to Brennan and he was like, no, no, no, we can make this cool and lean into it, and especially from a narrative way, and I can work with you on this.

Cool.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, for sure.

I will say, it's been a lot of pressure, though, especially, like, any time I do Augury, and when we were in the theater and getting that, and it's, like, trying to bend the rule, and it's also, like, Brennan's like, what's the question you want to ask the universe?

And you're like...

I don't know.

There's so much.

Every interaction is fucking stressful.

Yes.

It's awful.

And Brennan has also made it very clear that anytime we are alone in a room with these people, you might as well be alone in a room with a dragon.

He's made it very clear that they are all very high level.

So in a way, even though the soldiers are out there fighting on the front line and the seekers are dealing with like...

other planar dimensional lore, I feel like the schemers are somehow in the most dangerous situations just by being... Least equipped.

In the least equipped, just by being at a conference room table.
