The Council of Twelve is a barren-looking room with a large round table. There are twelve empty stone seats that surround the table. The idea is that this is a replica of the table where the original twelve gods of the temple would sit and make decisions regarding the fate of humanity.

servant

I am here to help the needy. I am well respected in the town. I can not accept lying.
Oh no dear. Not to me. Mind you're careful as you clean around the table.  Very well, I will clean carefully.  What brings you here? I'm here to seek the guidance of the twelve gods. I have an important decision to make.  What decision are you considering?  If I may ask.  I am very interested. Well I probably shouldn't tell you this but I overheard a secret recently that disturbed me greatly.  I assure you, I can keep a confidence.  I hope you will tell me. Well hmm. Okay if you won't go gossiping to the other servants.  Of course, I assure that I will not. Okay I overheard that a great danger awaits the kingdom. A witch is on her way here.  Oh my, so this must be a witch who means us harm?  Are you here to help the kingdom? Of course of course. I'm asking the guidance of the gods in this matter.  Why does the witch mean us harm?
