The first time Roy and Durkon visited the Oracle, they each received one question (plus a bonus question after dangling the Oracle out the window), but I don't think we ever find out what Durkon's first question was (Bear in mind I haven't read On the Origin of PCs or anything).


"You'll each be allowed to ask one question"

Durkon's Question: ??
Roy's Question: Where is Xykon
Oracle's answer: In his throne room
Roy's Question (II): Something to the extent of "Where's Xykon"
Oracle's Answer: Something to the extent of "In Dorukan's Castle"

But what do you think Durkon's first question was? I would have thought it'd be something about his mission to the humanlands, or when he'll return to his homelands, but he used his question on his second visit to ask about that...

What exactly would Thor do? And we see him using the knowledge in this strip. (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0073.html)

probably something about returning home.

Why would he ask this another time, then?

"Do you know where the remote is?"

Origins, not reeally a spoiler...

From the looks of it, Roy and Durkon visit the Oracle sometime during the book, but the scene isn't shown.

I recall Durkon's question asking if he will ever return home. Im somewhat sure about this though...

Isn't it possible that Durkon used his question to Clarify on Xykon's location?

Why would Roy have "asked" for a second question then?

Because it was an equally stupid answer?

Roy: Where is Xykon
Oracle: In his throne room
Durkon: Where might tha throne room be?
Oracle: On this planet

That would really really really provoke the hanging out the window trick...

More likely "In his dungeon."

Didn't Durkon and Roy visit the Oracle before they teamed up with the rest of the Order?
Maybe Durkon asked "How big a party do we need to run Xykon's dungeon?"

On the Origin of PCs just shows them after they talk to the oracle, saying how "helpful" the oracle was after some "encouraging." As a tribute to the memory spell, they both refer to the oracle as female.
