Thyriellentha nods to Adrian.<strong>"They have been tried, but without knowing the right questions to ask, they were inconclusive. It is one of the unfortunate aspects of divination magic. You need to already have nearly half the answer before you can discover the other half. We will try again when we have more information, and can ask more intelligent questions."</strong><br/><br/>Adrian knows that there are various evil deities, demon lords, and devils that would reward their worshippers for a gift of twenty sacrifices each night, so it's not an issue of whether or not such were possible, but an issue, if it is a cult behind this, of narrowing it down to one possibility. As for spells, he knows that twenty people per night could be put to use for dozens of purposes, ranging from simple necromancy to the capturing of souls for currency in the Hells or spell components, and from transmuting the people into animals to teleporting them somehow to a faraway land for enslavement. The possibilities are seemingly endless with what a motivated group of spellcasters (if that is what is kidnapping people) could accomplish with enough resources and expert knowledge of logistics. {DM Note: With such high rolls, it would be impractical to type out all that he would know about the subject, but I will let you know if something relevant arises to these rolls.}<br/><br/>Rulathon addresses the group once again.<strong>"I did not say that it was exactly twenty per night. Some nights there are a few more, sometimes a few less, but around twenty people disappear each night."</strong>
