"Indeed," The Seer responded rather indifferently to Frederick's question about what part he would play in the upcoming events, "that is a question worth asking.  We have not the slightest clue except that we know you will play your part."  The Seer turned to its rather motley crew and blew a strand of hair out of way.  "My senses tell me that we should find the answers by following the murderer's trail, of course a lead is needed in order to start this venture.  As the brigands got away without any trouble all those years ago no doubt they have become complacent and lax.  Still they are not stupid if they have yet to be caught so the best course of action is to find the middle man, the person who helped coordinate their movements in the past by providing information."

The Seer said all this with absolute certainty, as if because it was said it was so.  "Now to aid in the search, if the young miss perhaps has a token, a remnant from the attack, we can use the item to attempt a path finding.  It is not guaranteed to work of course but could provide us a valuable lead.  Otherwise some old-fashioned investigative work will be in order."
