what divination method(s) was used?
ogre battle tarot to determine characters and plot elements

I did i ching for how you get FALSESTRIKE--I got hexagram 8 which indicates this is a time for unifying with others, which hints at both how you get FALSESTRIKE but also a reason for not using it. the first meaning is pretty in-line with how games work--talk to person and they help you. lol. There was also a lot of water imagery so you go through watery zones.

I used apantomancy, chance encounters with animals. I had to go to the bank, the post office, and Subway to eat yummy sandwy. I said to myself, on the way the first non-standard animal I meet (excluding for instance a habitually disgruntled fence dog) will bear significance. We saw a blue bird on the fringe of grass by Walgreens. It flew into a tree where it hid inside the sun and I could not stare for fear of blindness. The blue bird is significant in many cultures. It often has positive associations. In the game a bird helps you.
