[Geodsight] Use Geod's guidance to discover a clue

For generations, the gift of prophecy had helped Geod's faithful to survive through turbulent times. Prophets of the church would sometimes be granted with a dream-like vision, imparting wisdom that defies explanation. The eyes, glowing gold from their sockets, were said to be proof of receiving His true word.

You'd received visions of some import, ever since you'd felt the call to become a squire, but rarely had they been as critical as they might be in this moment. You turned your eyes towards the roof and concentrated, hoping for some sort of sign that could grant you clarity in this situation.

You were in luck. No sooner had you turned your eyes upward than you saw the room illuminate. You knew that was your Geodsight, projecting beams of light from your eyes as prophecy flooded into your head.

These prophecies tended to be cryptic and this one was as confusing as ever. Your mind's eye wandered about the room before settling on an empty wine bottle, discarded underneath a nearby dresser. In the vision, you fished it out from under there, then inspected it, noticing a pretty red gift ribbon around the bottle's neck. The tag on the bottle's face read Wiseman Winery. You were familiar with the name-- it was just a stone's throw away from the checkpoint, down the road towards the capital. It might even be within walking distance.

Your eyes then turned and set upon a carpet on the floor. When you pulled the carpet back, you were pleased to find a secret hatch embedded in the floor. It wasn't locked. Opening it revealed a ladder, leading down into a dimly lit tunnel. You weren't sure where this would lead, but you thought it might very well be connected to the winery.

More importantly, it would be your ticket out of this room without using the door. That part was critical, because you heard the guards beating against its frame.{if Helmid = True}

"Well spotted, Sir Lavender! I suppose that wine bottle was part of some sordid affair of Mertz's? It is quite clear how much time the man devotes to courtship," your paladin companion sighed, her eyes lingering once again upon the pink panties she'd tossed aside earlier.

An unfitting smile was playing at the corners of her lips again. She shook her head rapidly to snap herself out of it. "But enough about Mertz. Let us leave this place, immediately!"{endif}{if Amulette = True}

"Descending, down into darkness. Will we wander into the Wiseman Winery? Or will we become breakfast for my bastardly ex-boss's cave-dwelling bats?" Amulette snickered, looking over her shoulder at you a moment longer before plunging straight into the hole. Would she be okay? You hadn't seen her grab the ladder...

... A moment later, you realized she'd transformed into a bat herself.{endif}{if Rosary = True}

"After you? I'll go in last, since, erm... It could be... Just a bit awkward if you were to accidentally look up my habit as I was climbing. N-Not that I suspect you would! A-And even if you did, it would be purely an accident! Nothing to blame you for!" she explained at length, waving her hands over-excitedly while waiting for you and the other saintess to climb in first.{endif}{if Belit = True}

"Good find! Maybe while we're at that winery, we can snag a few bottles for ourselves, eh? Preferably full ones, not empty ones like you've got there!" Belit grinned, pantomiming swirling a wine glass in one palm with a pompous gesture. "We deserve a little reward after all the trouble we're going to, don't ya think, Vin?"

You told her to focus on escaping for now. The bludgeoning attacks of the guards against the door were starting to sound more successful, judging by those splintering noises.

"Ha! If those lousy, spit-shined maroons ever managed to catch up to me, then shoot me dead, because I've probably been replaced by a demon doppelganger."

Belit hopped down onto the ladder, gripping the guides with both hands and sliding into the hole.{endif}{if Bangaal = True}

Your djinn companion hopped up from where she was reclining and floated down into the hole. "Last one through is, how do they say it... an empty bottle!" That was, in fact, not how they said it, but it wasn't like you had a chance of being anything other than the last one through regardless. Her movements were way too fast to keep up with, unimpeded by the need to actually use the ladder.{endif}{if Liens = True}

"Ugh. Great. Ladder. And a cavern too? Long cavern? Leading all the way to the winery? Sucks. Not going. I'll let them capture me. Bail me out of prison later," Liens complained, sticking out her tongue.

You moved behind her and began pushing on her-- you found yourself reminded, once again, that she was not light.

"Fine. Going. Don't push. I'll trip again."{endif}
