Grug listened to the greeting provided, these people seemingly being somewhat flabbergasted by his... enthusiastic greeting. With the exception of the red haired girl, her name aptly reflecting this quality of hers. She had immediately went to see and check many of the trinkets he had around, the Orc carefully reaching towards her as a reflex. "Watch out now, I sell those things. You may look, but please do not touch. I don't remember what I have at each part of this wagon from the top of my head", he voiced his concerns, though his voice was more of the caring than stern sort.

As for the other woman, a simple nod would suffice. She didn't seem too excited about meeting him, so he would return the disinterest. It seemed as if she was almost dragged here by the other two, not a new sight to the Oracle to be honest. Many times a group of friends brought one along that wanted nothing to do with "the old orc's humbug". However, their company often wanted the Oracle to specifically look into their future just for that reason.

Yet this time that would not be the case as the man voiced what they were actually seeking from here. It was about the ruins they were heading to now. "Yes, while I have gazed upon those futures many times, let me do it once more. Perhaps something new will show itself", he ruminated and sat back down, setting his cane next to his crystal as he brought his hand above it again. "So let's see what the future will bring..."

Grug's magic awakened within him as a foggy pattern appeared in his irises, the gaze of his eyes leaving this mortal realm for the while as it moved beyond the veil of time, the many futures shaped by the choices of the people of the land unfolding before him. He did his best to filter them down, but as per usual the results varied. In the end, there were numerous outcomes before him and he could only resort to piecing together what most of them shared. "Gaze into my crystal, and allow my lesser magic to show you what I can", he instructed, summoning a minor illusion into the sphere.

In the sphere, a clearing appeared, in the middle of which the ruins they wanted to head for stood. Red lines of energy rushed among the shape of the land, the four currently in the wagon joined by a rider, a sphinx, an admittedly short fellow and a few more, not all of which Grug could muster to manifest with his weak power. "This is what I can certainly tell... where the evil resides, energy gathers. But we and more allies stand ready. Yes, I see myself among you. This old cripple might need to get on the road once more..."
