[With the monsters gone, the Plane really is a much friendlier place. Botta doesn't seem to be enjoying it, though, as he sits at a table in the library; indeed, it seems that whatever's on his mind is causing him a great deal of stress. And for someone who was sure he would never want to come back after the ordeal of the last month was over, he's returned pretty quickly.

[Jade doesn't answer directly, not to questions he can answer, and certainly not to questions where he isn't quite sure what the right answer may be.]

Does your world have any method of predicting the future?
