[The Third Eye - 26473]
Witch-balls, suspended from the ceiling by bits of twine, dangle at varying lengths, their candle-lit bodies spilling a golden glow upon the refurbished floorboards. Recesses carved into the granite walls display a variety of wares under the watchful eye of a young giantwoman. Near the back of the shop, a coin-edged velvet curtain provides entry to a backroom.

>ask giantwoman about mist
Quickly warding herself, the giantwoman doesn't meet your eyes as she says, "Fey things are at work with that and no good will come of it.  No good."
>ask giantwoman about case
The giantwoman brightens as she hears the query, "The cases," she repeats.  "Why they are the devices used by the Truefolk for divination.  Surely, you've seen them before."
>ask giantwoman about niches
Smiling, the giantwoman nods slowly and says, "Each niche is filled with a different kind of scrying device.  We have many different kinds available.  Please feel free to ask me about each item."
>ask giantwoman about crystal ball
"Well," the giantwoman begins, "The crystal balls are very handy tools that will provide a yes or no pathway for you to follow.  Sometimes, they are emphatic about the answer, while others less so.  And my mistress can customize them in no time flat.  For a fee, that is."
>ask giantwoman about pouches
Glancing at one of the recesses, the giantwoman slowly confesses, "I'm not very good with that method.  The ways of the Human Seers elude me for some reason.  All those stones are confusing."
>ask giantwoman about sand
Smiling brightly, the giantwoman says, "My mistress went to great pains to dye those sands.  They are for the Tehir method... What is it called?  It's just on the tip of my tongue... "  Shrugging, she says, "Nothing to fear, it will come to me."
>ask giantwoman about blades
Frowning for a fraction of a second, the giantwoman says, "I'm not fond of the blades.  But my Mistress says that every scrying method should be honored."  Glancing around to see if anyone else is listening, she says, "They are for the practice of Haruspex."
