Carandolana will ask Farab's cleric, "Do you know of any of your order who
might be in the area? Perhaps one that's favored by Farab?"

All you read from the sword is a bit of a throbbing. The lizard hisses at Sean.
Since the group seems to be waiting for day four; that morning, Holly, John
Mac, and Pomeroy will appear at the back porch. It appears they were sent down
by Mawby. They will confirm there is no snow in Aarell.

Carandolana swoons. When she wakes up she'll put something into a pouch,

When the available members of the main group are assembled she'll say, "We
need to get rid of that shrine. Dal is planning something both big and bad,
and we need to interfere with his power sources. The snow is from Farab in
aid to one of his special followers, so it's not as bad as we might think."
She turns to go rest and memorize new spells for the upcoming challenges,
then turns around and says, "And don't underestimate the black dolphin."

Subject: Visions and portents
Elmore approaches the group at meal time after he's had time for meditation
and communion. Blesses the meal before it is served up.
"Friends, I have some things to share with you. I've been meditating and have
been given a vision. I saw Salathiel, the archon who brings me my spells. He
bid me this. The evil that surrounds us, it is dissipating, but the altar
must be destroyed within a fortnight. Cara once pointed out that you
collectively are my flock. In place of this evil altar, Salathiel instructs
me to replace it with one to Artor. Yes, you non-followers are likely
thinking, hmmmm... imagine that. Do bear in mind that Artor has been very
benevolent and of course it is better a benevolent deity we know, than ...
well... an evil one we also know. Of course there's also Ulstar and Farab.
Farab is sending help. What form that will be I guess we will all see.. could
be another priest. There are great riches in the south, that we are to
recover. They've been given over to evil. It is the wish of Artor through
Salathiel that we use these riches to form the altar. We are to head south to
the Mindolen chain to find these riches.
I suppose that at least tells us of the time frame we have for Nalba's
altar's destruction. "
