As you look your eyes adjust further to the darkness and you start to make out the shape of a very old woman sitting stock still behind the crystal. You wonder if she might even be dead but you decide that it is not for you to find out. Especially if she isn't!
Lastly out of the darkness a small plaque becomes visible on the table, which with a little difficulty you manage to read...
The Dimensional Oracle
For a message throw one silver zorkmid onto the table
Checking your pouch with your hand you find that you do have a number of silver zorkmid pieces, though gold zorkmids seem to be in short supply.
Strange you can't seem to quite remember what a ``zorkmid'' is, or even where you picked up the silver zorkmids from.
You can save your money and leave or you can throw a silver piece.
