The Shrouded One speaks:

  Drax smiles and finally eases himself into a seat at the Shrouded One's table.
 
  "My offer is straightforward. The chest I bear exacts may prices, some small
   and some large, and in the same way offers help and guidance to some, while
   ruin to others. The intent of the giver, and the integrity of the price 
   will tell the tale. Your past I have overheard. This chest will not provide
   you with a pat answer, but it may point you to one whom you seek, or perhaps
   give you an aid in your time of need. It is my gift and my curse to offer
   the choice of the chest to any who seem to require it."

  Drax bows his head once again, and slides the chest towards Kryalla. The
 lights gleam off the plain, brown wooden chest and its small, scuffed metal
 bindings, sturdy but plain.
