{{Quote|source=[[Ashk]]|
A visiting goblin taught me the basics of shamanism, and I knew at once that it could be combined with the power of the mind. After years of experimentation, I am proud to say that it works! I can read the future! Of course, I can only read the very near future right now... but some day I shall be able to auger years into the future

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

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

{{Quote|I hope that wasn't too embarrassing. I've collected all of your measurements. Assuming you're an average specimen of your species, it's safe to say that your kind is quite valuable for augury! Of course, you'd have to die first. Ha ha ha! Sorry. That was in poor taste. I have no intention of killing you! I might buy your corpse after you die, but that's it! Um, here, take these baubles. They're shiny, aren't they? Off you go now!}}

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.

Once the summoned creature is defeated, Ashk will offer training of Augury recipes in his Training menu.
