“

He's examining a piece of entrail.

Ashk is a Rakshasa soothsayer and merchant in Rahu. With appropriate favor, and unless you're already under the effect of one of the soothsaying recipes, he will offer the following dialogue.

“

Ah, Player, it's good to see you again! Do you need your fortune read? For you, it's free.

I would like you to tell me my future.

For you, my friend, there is no charge. Stand perfectly still! Are you ready?

I'm ready!

(Ashk begins to read your future)

There you have it! If you wish for me to read your future again, come back another day.

Thanks!

  Soothsaying Training

  At Close Friends, Ashk will offer you training in Augury recipes if you are able to defeat a creature for him, the Eye of Fate.

  “

  In the desert near Rahu, look for a giant skull embedded in the face of a cliff. Ignore the skull and look for a large staff in the sand near the base of the cliff. Stand near the staff and say something like, "I'm going to start soothsaying now!" That should get the eye to emerge. Be ready! It is no ordinary foe. You will likely need help. Slay the creature and you shall have my utmost appreciation.

  — Ashk the Answerer

  Once the summoned creature is defeated, Ashk will offer training of Augury recipes in his Training menu. Learning Augury requires either Meditation 50 or Shamanic Infusion 50.
