• The Oracle of all knowledge : [the Keeper of the Temple has summoned the Oracle of All Knowledge from its well and before Sinbad and his comrades, surrounded by licking flames, appears an image of a face like a bearded man with horns like a ram growing from its head, a thick mane of hair and a demonic smile that shows rotting teeth]  Two tablets brought forth to the light, yet a third remains from sight. A final place must still be found, a place that lies deep below the ground...

  Sinbad : It speaks in riddles!

  The Oracle of all knowledge : No race is lost until in fact it's won, and close behind you comes the black and evil son spawned by the devil, suckled upon black milk of human form... Clad in robes of silk... Destiny... Destiny... Destiny is invisible and yet visible, and men may try to hide, yet its waters mark it clearly like a rainbow in the sky. Destiny is a place where both good and evil wait, and yet their very equality that bates their power, for it is the deeds of weak and mortal men that can tip the scales one way or the other, and then the WORLD shall KNOW and YOU shall KNOW which way the Fates have chose you shall GO... GO... GO now... Go north...

  Sinbad : Go north?

  The Oracle of all knowledge : North to barren lands of pagan places... The pagan barrens... Before a goddess cast with many limbs and death to all intruders is their whim. In that sacred place HID from the eyes of man is the third gold tablet that completes the plan... GO now... GO now... Go north... Go north...

  [the voice and image of the Oracle fade away and return in a burst of light into the well below it]
