The guy on the other end of our dream-telephone introduced himself as "John", recall? I suspect he'll be able to shed some light on our recent loss of Rollo's husk, if we can find him again.
Ah, I forgot that was the name +1 to contacting John

Edit: maybe not, I feel like contacting the 4th wall too much might be cheating

Cheating? We're not cheating. We're... seeking answers within the bounds of our character, in a manner we've already found to be effective. If we can't find John, we can't find John... but the opportunity is there, and I'm inclined to make use of it.

And who knows... maybe instead of John, we'll get some other equally fascinating thing to talk to! Dreamland is a big place.

(mimics are monstrosities in 5e not aberrations or particularly magical beasts, and you haven't been exposed to any unstable magic yet...)

You attempt to find the John; you locate the John box, but its locked in some kinda wall of small glass doors, the doors have other things in them as well... like food and strange boxes and folded cloth and even rocks.
Each of the small doors looks to be held locked by something that has a slot on it.
The doors are labeled '1 divination token'...

Think about where we could get one of these divination tokens.

We have been exposed to witchcraft, can we level in this? Can Madkt teach us how to use magic?

What about necromancy we got that book from Cabbiz's body.

Oh yeah, plus that spell we don’t know, can we level in necromancy?

Those may well be possible courses of action... trouble is, neither of those things key off our Charisma the way sorcery would! It's possible, but it's not optimal. I'll not rule it out, but we want to think hard on the matter before we attempt the thing.

Now we do have another option here: namely, that warlock offer we recieved awhile back. I still think that's worth some serious consideration.

For now, though... look about us. What sort of entities do we see?

Yes, there is no time limit, a class is something we will not be able to change later, probably

You think on where you could get a divination token; perhaps a wizard trained in divination or someone equivalent could tell you about how to get them...

You remember that Makdt had said she could train someone to be a witch, maybe you could ask her about it.

You could perhaps become a necromancer wizard or equivalent if you happened to learn a necromancy spell, or maybe finding someone to teach you...

You think on becoming a sorcerer but it's not something you choose, maybe if you ran into some unstable magic, maybe activated broken glyphs of some kind...

You look around to see what kind of entities are to be seen, you see a few beings; a radiant multi-winged being, what looks like an elf dressed in a giant flower, an orc woman that has a strong resemblance of a bear, what appears to be a scarecrow of some kind, a skeleton using a control bar used for puppets, as well as a familiar small fey dressed in green with red mustache aloft off in the distance...

Talk to the multi winged being
“Hello, I’ve never seen your kind before, where are you from?”

You approach the multi-winged being, “Hello, I’ve never seen your kind before, where are you from?” you ask
It smiles gently saying "Aasimon is what I am, sent by my lord Ilmater to watch over his devout cleric in these troubled times, from the upper planes... would you be willing to spare a moment to hear about Ilmater's compassion and forgiveness?"

”yes” you say
the celestial looks overjoyed "As you may not know Ilmater is an incarnation of compassion and seeks to offer aid and relief and words of comfort; to those in pain and those oppressed, or in great need. He encourages endurace in the face of pain, suffering and abuse for good things come to those who wait, for he himself suffers willingly with them to bare their burden and lessen their pain.
As much as he is compassionate he is forgiving... and even offers forgiveness to those who would cause pain and suffering on others... if you are repentant he could even forgive you." the celestial being gives you an unjudging but stern look with his glowing blue eyes.
