"One question" is always such a vague statement, limited by the syntactic and semantic constraints of language...
Genies use it to their advantage all the time; it's possible we could use it to ours.
Something like "How do we defeat the heralds" could potential earn us a vague answer (or something that even the Norns themselves do not know), but if we get a straight answer, we should try to learn something that will be useful for a long time. "What is the sslugs' weakness" is maybe too specific. Though if it comes down to it, it may be our only choice.
"What method would stop the summoning of the future heralds mentioned by the Spawn of Earnaness" is potentially strong, but I'm not hopeful that there is an answer...
