The group enters Tradertown just outside of Loosend looking for a place to spend the night.
Trallman 358 will be tomorrow
The beginning of the fertility festival holiday bacchanal
Bixi Fizzlebang: Zayden, I've written a song, would you like to hear it?
Zayden: Oh yes please!
Bixi Fizzlebang: Bixi and Knotty, best friends forever! Best friends until the eeeeeend. If they try to make me leave you behind, they'll never see me agaaaaain
Zayden: Beautiful! I like the part about you and Knotty together till the end
Indigo: Finally! We're here
Zayden: Thank heaven!
Human, old man, Slip: Hello there young man
Zayden: Me?
Human, old man, Slip: Scowls,
Indigo: Everyone be careful with your belongings. Lots of pickpockets around Loosend
Zayden: Bixi I think he's talking to you
Thistle: She's not a man?
Human, old man, Slip: you look like you dressed up for the ... HEY! Just you wait a minute
Zayden: Who's he talking to?
Human, old man, Slip: Look here, you little one
Indigo: Hello?
Human, old man, Slip: What do you mean to say I have pickpockets in my establishment?
Indigo: I didn't say they were right here
Indigo: But they are around
Human, old man, Slip: You told your friends to be careful
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Oh dear, you have insulted the man's honor.
Human, old man, Slip: Right here!
Indigo: That's because we just got here
Lanek: snorts
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Clearly a duel shall be required to save face.
Human, old man, Slip: Just as I was about to insult this young scamp for pretending to be a Druid
Indigo: If I said be careful after someone got their things stolen it would be too late
Bixi Fizzlebang: Who's a druid?
Human, old man, Slip: Costumes are for parties and festivals
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: How are honor duels carried out in this foreign land?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Isn't there a festival today?
Zayden: Ohh I like festivals
Lanek: rolls eyes
Old Woman, Hold: Tomorrow little one
Old Woman, Hold: Tomorrow
Old Woman, Hold: unless you are the kind who likes to get started early
Zayden: Tomorrow will be a great day!
Old Woman, Hold: the docks are full of your type then
Bixi Fizzlebang: Well anyway my name is Bixi and I don't know what you're talking about. What are your names?
Zayden: I actually have some business to tend to before play
Old Woman, Hold: My name is Hold, why do you ask?
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Should we not be on a boat and on our way by then?
Human, old man, Slip: You are looking for a boat?
Zayden: It's bad luck to leave a festival on the first day
Bixi Fizzlebang: Well I was TRYING to be polite, but maybe that's now how you're polite in this culture?
Indigo: Ship
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Yes we wish passage for the 12 of us and one pig.
Human, old man, Slip: See your costumed young man does have some manners
Human, old man, Slip: Why are you sharing a pig?
Old Woman, Hold: NO
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: I have no idea
Old Woman, Hold: NO
Old Woman, Hold: Do not tell me
Old Woman, Hold: I do NOT want to know
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: I think it is for eating later
Craigh: it's a very impressive pig. More than enough for all of us.
Old Woman, Hold: Some things are just not for me
Old Woman, Hold: Mutters, Every year this festival gets stranger and stranger
Zayden: The older I get, the stranger it all seems
Old Woman, Hold: If you are looking for a boat you should go talk to Jorlaine
Old Woman, Hold: She can help you find one
Indigo: Ship
Human, old man, Slip: If she is sober
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Excellent, where is this Jorlaine?
Human, old man, Slip: and has her legs closed
Lanek: chuckles
Human, old man, Slip: Oh I suppose you can find her down in one of the brothels
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Is there one in particular she prefers to visit?
Human, old man, Slip: Now why are you here in my inn tonight?
Old Woman, Hold: Because they lack funds
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Looking for a boat. We just mentioned. Clearly we are lost.
Indigo: Yup we lack funds
Old Woman, Hold: No one else would stay with you the way you act
Indigo: Ship!
Old Woman, Hold: What is with you and ships?
Indigo: We need a ship. Not a boat
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: We need whatever is available that will float us down the river. The name of the thing is irrelevant.
Youtargim: A boat can get you across a stream, or from your Ship to the dock
Youtargim: We need a ship
Indigo: Thank you Youtargim
Indigo: nods happily
Youtargim: Indigo.... Admiral Indigo.... He will assess if what you have is suitable for his needs
Human, old man, Slip: So you are an Admiral? just a kid? and you expect me to just what?
Indigo: Ummm nothing?
Human, old man, Slip: I doubt you will find anything tonight
Indigo: Can we stay here?
Human, old man, Slip: NOW you are talking my language!
Indigo: Then we'll look in the morning
Old Woman, Hold: Shakes her head
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Do you have rooms for 12 and a pig ahead of a festival? Sounds promising.
Human, old man, Slip: How many rooms?
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: How many beds are in a room?
Human, old man, Slip: Looks like 7 men and 5 women?
Human, old man, Slip: So you need 5? or 7 beds?
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: 12 beds
Zayden: I think I'll have a good nights rest as well, then gather info in the morning
Human, old man, Slip: Nope
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: how many beds do you have?
Human, old man, Slip: I have three rooms, one is taken
Human, old man, Slip: So you need 5? or 7 beds?
Human, old man, Slip: I can put down 7 mattresses on the floors for you in the two rooms
Indigo: That would be great
Human, old man, Slip: That way you do not need to worry about falling off and hitting the floor
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: then if you have 7 beds we require all of them.
Indigo: Do you have a place to keep the wagon and horses for the night?
Human, old man, Slip: Can't fit 7 beds in one room, can just drape the mattresses over each other
Human, old man, Slip: sure, the courtyard can handle the horses, the wagon will have to stay on the street
Lanek: I’m good to sleep in the wagon
Indigo: Lanek, you should take a mattress
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Spread them as space allows. Come man, do you truly run an inn or do you just generate needles issues?
Old Woman, Hold: You can come with us, looking at Lanek, you look strong enough to handle it
Human, old man, Slip: You want to sleep inside? or on the street?
Lanek: I prefer to guard the wagon. you know, just in case
Human, old man, Slip: They are bedding people in the arena tonight if you want to sleep on the stones
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Do you want to be paid money or are you going to be a smart ass all night?
Lanek: bedroll on creaky wood'll do just fine
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: I have met camels that are less stubborn.
Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, I think I might sleep in the wagon too, if you don't mind some company, Lanek. Keep an eye on Knotty.
Old Woman, Hold: Come on sweety, I can help straighten that wood (to Lanek)
Lanek: considering
Zayden smirks
Lanek: scratching the back of his head while he ponders
Lanek: mmm no thank you, prolly better not, but maybe I’ll ask ya another time
Youtargim: quietly to Rae... This looks to be ..... troublesome? Did you say you have family here?
Zayden: whisper to Lanek: She wants to help straighten your wood dude
Indigo: Okay two rooms with lots of mattresses. Thank you
Human, old man, Slip: That will be 2 gold
Indigo: I'll go tie up the horses in the courtyard
Lanek whisper to Zayden: and she's prolly got experience too
Zayden whisper to Lanek: haha
Indigo: pulls out 2 gold to pay
Craigh: How can I help?
Raelynn: Well, my temple family, but my actual family is in Dryads Lair. Some of them, at least.
Indigo: Do we get dinner too?
Youtargim: Would you feel safer with the temple? (to Rae)
Zayden: A Bard's work is never done
Human, old man, Slip: We can find you a stew
Indigo: I like stew
Indigo: Thank you
Lanek: nodding
Human, old man, Slip: Spots Zayden heading out
Human, old man, Slip: You be back before Midnight!
Zayden: Nods
Raelynn: Well... probably but I feel bad leaving everyone...
Human, old man, Slip: The ferries stop then
Zayden: Sure thing Dad!
Zayden: Oh ok thanks actually
Indigo: laughs
Zayden: what time is it again?
Zayden: 6am? that right?
Youtargim: I could escort you there, if you like, seems like you looking.... You just naturally looking.. I mean it is a festival and all
Indigo: Is Craigh going with you Zayden?
Zayden: Not sure, you wanna come along Craigh?
Zayden: should be fun times
Craigh: Sure, if I can help.
Raelynn: Well we can join this bunch going to town and I can at least stop by and say hi...
Zayden: Great! Let's do it, you're always helpful Craigh
Licornah: listening
Youtargim: Is it an Elven temple?
Raelynn: nods
Youtargim: Looks over at Licornah
Zayden: Let's check out what Loosend has to offer!
Youtargim: Are you coming with us?
Licornah: It might be nice to see the elven temples
Youtargim: Good to have you along,
Lanek: Zayden, I’ll come with you and Craigh, if I don't cramp yer style too much
Zayden: No worries Lanek happy to have you and your crooked wood
Zayden smiles
Lanek: snorts
The party splits into three groups, Youtargim, Raelynn, and Licornah are heading to the Elven Temple on the north shore
Zayden, Craigh, and Lanek are exploring the city and gathering information
Lisa (Indigo): Thistle, Indigo and Howard stay at The Snickerdoodle Inn and eat stew
Raelynn: It's the Temple of Hanali Cenali, Lady Goldheart, the Elven Goddess of Romance, Beauty, and Love. We get a LOT of artists visitors.
Raelynn: Quite a few sculptures have donated marble statues to us. There's a beautiful atrium with bellflowers, a small concert hall, fountains. It's very beautiful.
Licornah: [SKILL] Religion (Faerûnian) - free prof (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 13] [d20 = 5]
Raelynn: They'll definitely be preparing for this festival.
As the three continue along you cross the muddy channel here between Tradertown and the City proper
Then a quick direct cut through the island avoiding the ferry to the north bank, the river is flowing here in this channel well, the group of Licornah, Rae, and Youtargim pay for the ferry across, go past the Greek Temple and then over to the shallow waters to reach Eastbend Island and the Elven temple there
Licornah: enjoys the ride and the scenery
Jumping back to the men exploring town
Zayden: Boy this channel sure is muddy
Zayden: Hello Men!
Lanek: we ARE the men, genius
Zayden: shall we start at the town square?
Zayden: Or the Docks?
Zayden: Or the brothels?
Zayden winks at Lanek
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: If brothels are where we will find a ship, that is where we should go.
Zayden: Or the Ferries I suppose is an option
Craigh: Isn't there a docks section?
Zayden: are we looking to buy or rent?
Zayden: yes there's a North Docks
Zayden: and South Docks
Zayden: [TOWER] [SKILL] Information Gathering [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 15]
Zayden tries to gather information once his group gets into the city proper but fails in his endeavor.
Craigh: [TOWER] [SKILL] Information Gathering [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 14]
Craigh also uses his skills to try to gather information and promptly runs into a drunk.
Human, drunk: Hey You! I know you! Smag, right? (sways) You got caught up in that murder for hire (HIC) a couple of years back
Human, drunk: What have you been doing Smag
Craigh: grins. “Hey there, guy. Long time no see. You, uh, want to keep it down just a wee bit for me? There's a drink in it for you if you do.”
Human, drunk: Yeah Yeah
Human, drunk: You always were good with a coin or two Smag
Human, drunk: Good Man
Craigh: shrugs.
Human, drunk: Why’d you show up after all this time?
Human, drunk: AHHHHH
Craigh: Glad to be remembered for something rather than nothing.
Human, drunk: you think the new Prince doesn’t know
Human, drunk: HIC
Human, drunk: I bet he does
Craigh: I wouldn't be surprised at all.
Zayden: know what?
Human, drunk: Know who?
Human, drunk: THIS HERE MAN!!!!
Human, drunk: wraps an arm around Craigh
Human, drunk: This man is the best man
Human, drunk: You need someone offed
Human, drunk: He is your man
Human, drunk: Man
Human, drunk: Deep Sigh
Zayden: Oh ok
Human, drunk: What are you here for man?
Zayden: Ships mainly
Human, drunk: Oh
Human, drunk: ahhh
Craigh: Listen, I need a bit of a pointer. I need to get a boat together for a trip. Who's the best person to start with for a quiet discussion?
Zayden: Do you know where we could hire a knarr around these parts?
Human, drunk: Caroline
Human, drunk: Caroline can help you find someone with a ship
Craigh: Where's she docking at nowadays?
Human, drunk: Looks at Zayden, Ignore him, he never knew a boat from a ship even after you hit him with an oar
Human, drunk: Only bad thing about him man
Human, drunk: HUGS Craigh
Human, drunk: THIS MAN
Craigh: chuckles.
Human, drunk: [d100 = 99]
Human, drunk tries to pick Craigh’s pocket unobserved.
Craigh: So where can we find Caroline?
Craigh: carefully lifts the drunk's hand away from his purse.
Human, drunk: Caroline is down in slavers bend now man
Human, drunk: She is looking for crew
Craigh: Well, we are looking for a boat.
Human, drunk: Ship,
Human, drunk: wags his finger
Craigh: Sure
Human, drunk: You need to watch this man, (looking at Zayden)
Zayden: me?
Human, drunk: I will be at the arena tomorrow, I have a match
Human, drunk: might even win
Human, drunk: Look for me
Craigh: Good luck, Jeston.
Human, drunk: staggers off
Zayden: Good Luck!
Zayden: think he was a fan?
Craigh: Of someone.
Lanek: now I’m thirsty
Craigh: So, Slavers Bend? Shall we?
Zayden: we shall
jumping back to the Elves
Youtargim: This is an interesting place to put a temple
Youtargim: This is more like that area in the woods at Dragon Fen
Raelynn: Solonor's Temple? Or that little patch N'laea made?
Raelynn: I mean they're all for different Elven gods so they would have some similarities.
Youtargim: Ummm, which is the one deep in the woods?
Raelynn: ....both?
Youtargim: There is some male elf?
Youtargim: Not a friendly person
Raelynn: ....could still be both
Raelynn: OH!
Raelynn: Solonor's Temple.
Raelynn: Kel is... um, I haven't talked to him much but but Nieven is an absolute sweetheart!
Youtargim: Can I come onto the island with the two of you?
Raelynn: To the temple? Anyone can visit as long as your respectful.
Raelynn: If you make some joke about it being a brothel, though, don't expect me to save you.
Youtargim: warm smile, tell me have I been respectful?
Raelynn: Well you DO have a bad habit of putting your foot in your mouth sometimes.
Youtargim: I could work on putting.... I think this is where I should keep quieter
Raelynn: See? You're getting it now!
Raelynn: smiles
Youtargim: Tomorrow will be hard
Youtargim: winks
Raelynn: Mmhmm so consider this a practice run.
Youtargim: Glad to explore with you
Youtargim: It is rather nice to not have that Mist all around
Youtargim: does it give you a bit of a boost too?
Raelynn: Oh, it's horrid, isn't it?
Raelynn: I much prefer sunlight. I like visiting the inn when I can but then you have to deal with Mist Sickness half the time.
Licornah: I don't miss it at all... we don't have it in the North. I don't know who you angered for it. The group should atone to make it go away
Youtargim: Well hopefully we will not be back there for a while
Raelynn: nods
Youtargim: I heard Branwyn was researching it, but I am not sure what about
Raelynn: Thistle said they learned something about it at a wedding? Apparently it's been around longer than them.
Youtargim: I will follow you two onto the island
Raelynn: Come on, then.
back to Akilah, Bixi and the Men
The men heading to the slave quarters and the women splitting up and heading to the brothels
and back to the men up in the slave quarters
Human, Gentry: Hello there gentlemen
Lanek: harrumphs
Human, Gentry: Here for a more satisfying choice for tomorrow?
Human, Gentry: Many people ignore the idea that you can own the cow and sell the milk, if you like the husbandry similarity
Zayden: Hello Gentry
Zayden: So you sell slaves here?
Human, Gentry: I am happy to provide you with the right service for your needs,
Human, Gentry: I run a clean establishment
Zayden: Whisper to Craigh: Should we just ask about Caroline?
Craigh: nods
Human, Gentry: I have people who have either chosen to pay their debts in a physical manner rather than coin
Zayden: Thank you Gentry, I appreciate your kindness and the great service you provide
Zayden: Tell me, do you have a female who goes by the name “Caroline?”
Human, Gentry: or some people who have been caught up in a path that does not allow them to choose their life like us
Human, Gentry: No, I do not,
Human, Gentry: Or do you mean one of my buyers?
Human, Gentry: I do try to be careful
Human, Gentry: not everyone understands
Zayden: Yes one of your buyers, thank you
Human, Gentry: Why do you ask?
Zayden: I certainly understand what you mean
Zayden: Apparently she has information on a sea-worthy vessel needed for our voyage
Zayden: One with the appropriate this and thats
Human, Gentry: I would guess she does
Human, Gentry: She has seen me to find crew occasionally
Human, Gentry: Are you looking to round out your crew?
Zayden: Where else would one go?
Human, Gentry: I do have a young man who is a decent cook
Zayden: I think that's very possible, we could certainly use your services at that point
Human, Gentry: and of course many strong hands for the oars
Zayden: Gotta have strong hands sure
Craigh: We'll have to think about that carefully. We're in a situation where appearances could be important.
Zayden: Oh there goes my better half again, always urging caution
Human, Gentry: I pride myself on using the most gentle of restraints
Zayden: Still, how could we reach this Miss Caroline?
Craigh: I'm sure you do. The problem is on our end, not yours.
Human, Gentry: If you need a firmer hand then I would suggest asking elsewhere, I like to think of my shop as a cruelty free one
Zayden: Some times I like the restraints to be a little painful
Zayden smiles
Lanek: startles abruptly awake, leaning against a post
Human, Gentry: Then you are here at the right time my friend,
Zayden: Should we need a crew, you will be the man we see
Zayden: But we certainly won't need a crew if we don't find Caroline
Human, Gentry: I would be glad to assist you
Zayden: Thank you Gentry!
Human, Gentry: I do wish I could tell you where Caroline was this evening
Human, Gentry: I will put out word for you and have her leave a message here for you
Zayden: Thank you, that would be great
Craigh: Thank you. Would you accept a small fee to cover your trouble on our behalf?
Human, Gentry: OH no
Craigh: [TOWER] [SKILL] Bribe [PERCENT:Bribe] (vs. Target 50) [FAILURE by 16] [d100 = 66]
Zayden: You sure? Craigh is happy to pay
Human, Gentry: No need for that my kind sir
Human, Gentry: I would never accept a finders fee until I provide the proper service
Zayden: Ah thank you Gentry, for a slaver you're really a cool guy actually
Craigh: You're very kind.
Human, Gentry: Bows
Zayden also bows
Human, Gentry: we all have our place in a gentle society
Zayden: What should we do while we wait Craigh?
Lanek: drink
Zayden: I think we've earned a beverage or two!
Craigh: Well, first of all, I need to give you a tiny bit of information on your friends
Lanek: well I should drink. you two babyfaces may not last
Craigh: If my information was correct, Countess Branwyn rescued Indigo from slavers. I don't think crewing our ship with slaves is a very good idea.
Zayden: Let's do it Lanek!
Zayden: Well what if they're just the debt kind of slaves?
Craigh: Right, of course.
Lanek: oh ho!
Lanek: turns and scrutinizes Zayden in full
Zayden: I mean that seems more reasonable right?
Zayden: Well anyway, that's another bridge for future us, it won't matter if we can find a ship no?
Zayden: Well if we pay them, then they won't be slaves anymore, bad bing bada boom problem solved
and jumping back to the Brothels now
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: observes the various brothels and looks for which ones are more likely to serve female clientele.
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: [TOWER] [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 10]
Human, mage: Hello Ladies
Human, mage: How are you this evening? trying to get a jump on the festivities?
Human, mage: We have the finest young women in town
Bixi Fizzlebang: Umm
Human, mage: I promise we have the priests in every morning
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: We seek one of your patrons, actually.
Human, mage: OH? I thought you might want to work
Human, mage: I can give you double the regular rate for you, (looking at Bixi)
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Oh no, we have other work.
Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, sorry, REALLY don't have time
Human, mage: I know that I can get so many humans.....
Human, mage: That is a pity
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: We seek a woman who partakes of such establishments by the name of Jorlene
Human, mage: Ahhhh the ship merchant
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: That would be the one
Human, mage: Yes she is known here,
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Is she here?
Human, mage: It has been a bit of a lean season for her
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: So is that a no?
Human, mage: Raises an eyebrow
Human, mage: Smiles and waits
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: offers a suitable bribe
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: offers 10 silver, more than enough for a courtesan.
Human, mage: I can make sure that if you return in the morning that Jorlene will see you
Bixi Fizzlebang: Sounds good to me!
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: I thank you for your assistance.
Bixi Fizzlebang: Shall we head back to the inn, see if the others found anything?
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: That sounds as good a plan as any.
go with the Elves
Licornah: :: looks for the nearest courtyard ::
Licornah: :: looks around :: Fascinating art
Raelynn: nods
Raelynn: Many artists donate their works as tribute.
Licornah: It needs some tapestry... or a statue to Lurue, but really lovely work ...
Raelynn: Oh, maybe she has a temple elsewhere, but she's not one of the Seldarine. Not sure why she'd have a statue here...
Licornah: Oh, Lurue has no formal temples... only statues
Licornah: She's not really into formal gatherings for her followers...
Raelynn: Loosend has many different religions here. Maybe her statue is wherever... um, your religion is?
Licornah: :: nod :: Since I haven't ventured this far from home, I didn't know how far she's traveled
Licornah: It's very nice... and nice to see so many honored and enshrined -- I mean it kindly
Licornah: In Silvermoon, there are acolytes who usually greet for the different deities, not sure if works the same here.
jumping to Indigo
Old Woman, Hold: So you are a Hin right? Not just a short person or a kid?
Indigo: Yes. I'm not a kid
Indigo: I am short though
Indigo: smiles
Old Woman, Hold: What did that person say about you being an Admiral?
Indigo: The Queen made me an admiral in the civil war
Old Woman, Hold: Was she just being kind?
Indigo: But I haven't been active for her in many years
Indigo: Huh?
Indigo: No! I was in charge of getting ships for the navy
Old Woman, Hold: treating you like one of those poor people on the street who just needs a handout
Old Woman, Hold: Oh really? did you find any?
Indigo: You give poor people a couple of coppers. You don't make them admirals!
Indigo: You're a silly person
Old Woman, Hold: What sort of ships did you bring back then?
Indigo: I arranged for the purchase of many ships and they all sailed to Drillian to help with the war
Old Woman, Hold: I do not remember any battles mentioning a halfling
Indigo: Well I was in Dryads Lair with the Ambassador
Indigo: Otherwise I would have been fighting. But being there let me find the ships
Old Woman, Hold: Oh so you were not even there
Old Woman, Hold: I am glad you did not die
Indigo: Me too
Old Woman, Hold: so many young men did
Indigo: grins
Indigo: I know. I am sorry for that. It was a stupid war
Human, old man, Slip: Yes it was
Human, old man, Slip: Plops down a large pot of stew with several bowls
Indigo: The Queen is the queen. Fighting over that was stupid
Indigo: Thank you
Human, old man, Slip: That Queen has been decent I admit
Human, old man, Slip: She has not tried to come after us
Indigo: Why would she come after you?
Human, old man, Slip: The last one tried to say we owed taxes
Indigo: But Loosend is independent I thought
Human, old man, Slip: The Prince told her to go suck it
Human, old man, Slip: starts laying out cards
Indigo: This is good stew
Human, old man, Slip: Thanks
Human, old man, Slip: The trick is to not serve it on the first night
Indigo: Do you read fortunes?
Human, old man, Slip: No I take people's money
Human, old man, Slip: You want a chance?
Indigo: laughs
Human, old man, Slip: Do you have much to lose?
Lanek: industriously stuffs his face
Indigo: Sure
Indigo: puts a silver on the table
Indigo: [SKILL] Gaming [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 3]
so after several hands of cards Indigo has a large pile of coins in front of him
Old Woman, Hold: You better not
Old Woman, Hold: NO
Old Woman, Hold: I can see it
Old Woman, Hold: NO
Indigo: What's the matter?
Human, old man, Slip: I can win the next hand!
Human, old man, Slip: He cannot stay this lucky
Indigo: Oh I'm tired. We should stop.
Human, old man, Slip: No no no
Human, old man, Slip: I need to get some of my money back
Old Woman, Hold: Don't you dare
Indigo: It was just fun. You can have half back. I don't want you to be hurt because we played cards.
Human, old man, Slip: One last hand
Indigo: Okay for this stack
Indigo: pushes a stack towards the man
Human, old man, Slip: If I win I get all the pot
Human, old man, Slip: if you win you get ... my ship?
Indigo: raises eyebrow
Lanek: looks very interested indeed
Indigo: your ship?
Human, old man, Slip: Buttercup
Indigo: You have a ship? What kind?
Human, old man, Slip: She is not a lot but she brings in a nice income
Indigo: All right
Indigo and Slip go all in, for one last hand
Indigo: Deal it up
Indigo: [TOWER] [SKILL] Gaming [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 13]
and on the fourth card, Slip wins
Lanek: snorts
Indigo: Well you get your coins back
Human, old man, Slip: Breathes out a sigh
Human, old man, Slip: You are a good player Sir Indigo
Indigo: I didn't want to take your ship
Old Woman, Hold: NO
Human, old man, Slip: Oh give it up he must know
Human, old man, Slip: It is an honor to host you Sir Indigo
Indigo: Thanks. It's good to be here in a safe place
Human, old man, Slip: It was worth seeing if we could slide a few extra out of it
Human, old man, Slip: Tomorrow I will see if I can help you hire out a ship,
Human, old man, Slip: if not you can hire Buttercup
Human, old man, Slip: she is not the fastest but she is sturdy
