The Oracle / Fate Duo
Once you have an Event Seed, you need to determine what actionable event(s) can be determined from the Seed.
This is where the Oracle comes in.
The Event Seed gives us the basis for speculation. It should be used to generate up to a few Yes/No questions which can be used to further propel the adventure. Let's look at our previous seed. We notice a couple of interesting things, based on the Sinker:
- All inns are full/there's nowhere to stay
- It's forbidden to stay outside of the city
- The mobs of homeless are not friendly
- Is this a straightforward snatch and grab?
- Is it dangerous for the PCs to sleep outside at night?
- Yes: Find and retrieve Mr. X during a city-wide celebration (stays the same).
- No: Find and retrieve Mr. X during the height of the city-wide celebration (slight change; an immediate compel should be considered).
- Yes: It's Dangerous. Survive a night inside the city walls amidst the unkind homeless
- No: It's not Dangerous. Survive a night inside the city walls amidst the unkind looking but mostly harmless homeless (notice slight change)
