Hmmmmmmm, we could get a clue that even if Rabaer is the one we want to go to - he flees out of his castle to Venificus? Could lead on nicely to the demon quest.
So, if Rabaer is defeated before Venificus = Nero will remain an evil demon forever?
This would mean: Womble, we can find the axe at Rabaer's castle - so you can carry on to Riflak, give the dwarves what they want - you include Faile there and join us at Venificus/Double Raven castle?
The Venificus prophesy speaks of three from the outer world = Viper, DQueene, Jvb, Dragh, Luc, Kiya (Nero is a demon) = the rest of you are inlanders. So, the choice should be between them. Suggestions, please? Kiya
