— Clauneck speaking to the lamb for the first time
|
Clauneck is a resource NPC in Cult of the Lamb. He provides the Lamb with Tarot Cards.
Description[]
Clauneck runs the Tarot Card shop. The shop is signified by stars hanging by an entrance to a room. He deals 2 Tarot Cards (you can only take one) and gives the option to buy another dealing for 10-40 Coins (the amount of coins differs per region, and there is a cooldown for buying dealings.)
He has a strong resemblance to and is the brother of the weaponsmith, Kudaai. He also somewhat resembles Chemach, the Relic provider, who is his sister.
Dialogue[]
First Encounter[]
"Praise the Lamb, conduit to great power, promised liberator of the One that Waits below.
…so the cards showed me, once. Many lifetimes ago. (Or has that yet to be?)
I have always drawn your cards, Lamb. And yet, this is the first.
Take these cards, and I will draw another each time we meet. When drawn by me, they will grant you power.
What power? Well, that is both known and unfathomable. The cards, they shall decide."
Before Drawing Cards[]
- “Are we all but players in this game of chance?”
- “Lend yourself to the draw of a card.”
- “I can feel Fate’s hand on the cards this night.”
- “Tell me, Lamb; do you believe in destiny immutable?”
After Drawing Cards[]
- “You cannot argue with the draw. One might as well argue with the ocean.”
- “Your cards have been drawn. The path lays ahead.”
- “The Fates have spoken. Who will listen?”
- “All is as it should be, as it ever was, as it always will be.”
After encountering Chemach (Relic Hint)[]
"Sister Chemach's madness was foreseen in the first turn of the cards, drawn by her own kin. As I have always done.
Is destiny the grail which must be pursued? Or the force which drives one onward?
Come. Let us draw once more.
The first card, a beacon. The second, a shadow. The third, something lost, or perchance taken. Card inverted, it must be sought.
The cards speak. A relic calls. Yours to seek and to claim."
