I offered, for flavor, a roleplaying option to pick a game but for the result, it has nothing to do with a particular game. Savas was the only one that was different. It makes no sense to run 6 hours of games here.

Although he hasn't quite broke even during the night, Arus plays for the thrill of playing. The wager is merely the fee of entry.
As long as he only gambles what he can afford to lose, the net result is a trifling matter. Therein lies the allure. In life Arus plays for far higher stakes than at the tables, and that is no game. In his line of work, the only acceptable outcome is victory.
Soon after leaving a game of three-dragon ante, Arus makes his way to the bar for refreshment, signalling to Sindar and Kriv with a raised eyebrow. He wants to talk.
Hopefully they can join him for a drink, and if they have eyes on Zhu and Jaleira will bring them too. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,985 Likes: 1 Moderator | OP Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,985 Likes: 1 | OOC: We'll get back to gambling, but let's focus on Arus gathering everyone on the ship to talk.

Aware that there were likely eyes upon them, Kriv tried to make it look natural and unforced, convivial rather than comradely. But he sauntered to the bar in any case when it seemed opportune to do so. | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,167 Likes: 8 (Buffalo) Moderator | (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,167 Likes: 8 | Zhu
She eats her light meal listening to the Lady prattle on about nothing of particular interest, ocassionally nodding her head politely. Once finished, she glances at Kriv and then says, "It was a pleasure dining with you. Best of luck the rest of the evening. Now, I think we will go try our hand at the tables."
She rises and nods once more then heads into the gambling room where she wanders from table to table trying different games as the mood strikes.
After a time she sees Arus and notices a slight inclination of his head. Picking up her chips she casually moves in his direction. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,620 Likes: 59 Wizop Administrator | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,620 Likes: 59 | Jaliera
She sees that the others are gathering and makes her way to the bar, ordering a light drink and then leaning back against the bar whilst she surveys the room. She doesn't acknowledge any of the others, thinking that they may find it easier to converse or eavesdrop if viewed as a person on their own. She will listen for what is said though. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 13,066 Likes: 9 Wobbly Headed Administrator | Wobbly Headed Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 13,066 Likes: 9 | [Pandemonium's still recovering from his burst appendix afaik.] | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,134 Likes: 5 Member | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,134 Likes: 5 | Hope he is recovering!!!

DM After an hour or so, Arus approaches everyone quietly and gathers Sindar, Jaliera, Zhu and Kriv to talk. They are sitting at a table in the dining room. Waiters bring them food and drink, part of the opportunity to eat and drink all you like for one small fee. The dining hall empties out after the first hour, and seats are readily available and tables are unoccupied so that they can discuss things in relative privacy.
The other four are eager to hear what Arus has learned.

Was a Bank Holiday weekend here, so fun and frolics in the sunshine. ] ArusWith the party gathered, Arus finishes his drink and sets the glass down. "Lady Atalia seems to have taken the bait. I implied that House Rossolio were close to finding the culprit for Lord Artan's attempted murder. And she made contact by telepathy; asking us to follow her from the quayside after we dock." He says. It seems unlikely the party will get a more solid lead than that, considering Artan himself implicated the lady in the purple dress. "Aught else of interest?" Arus asks the others. | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,167 Likes: 8 (Buffalo) Moderator | (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,167 Likes: 8 | Zhu
She nods at Arus' information, frowning slightly. "A trap to lead us into ambush and capture do you think?" | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 13,066 Likes: 9 Wobbly Headed Administrator | Wobbly Headed Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 13,066 Likes: 9 | Arus
"She's unlikely to be working alone, though if her powers extend to mind control then she may need but a few dogsbodies on staff." He answers.
Arus ponders that: Could Atalia be listening in on their thoughts, thus their conversation even now?
Younger Arus had been a terrible student. He paid too much attention to his teacher in magic class, yet very little attention to what she was teaching.
So the triton has no idea what the source of Lady Atalia's mind powers is, or their limitations. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,616 Moderator | Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,616 | Kriv
It was clear the Dragonborn was coincidentally musing on similar lines, as he contributed,
"Hm. Presume the worst case scenario, we've drawn her attention and she is presently listening in. In which instance, hello, Lady Atalia, take a seat literally or figuratively, and let us continue with that in mind." | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,620 Likes: 59 Wizop Administrator | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,620 Likes: 59 | Jaliera
She just shakes her head. still feeling out of her depth but for different reasons now. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,985 Likes: 1 Moderator | OP Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 17,985 Likes: 1 | DMKriv does not get a response to his mental query. OOC: I'm going to wait on Pande to get better before we move forward with the rollplay. I hope it's not too long. We can proceed with the gambling.
DM for Kriv Gambling DC Neptune rolled 2d10+5,2d10,2d10+5,2d10+5 and got 13, 12, 12, 10 vs 13, 20, 24, 12 House 2 Kriv 2 - Kriv breaks even. He made his willpower roll and it's up to him if he continues to play.
DM for Zhu Gambling DC Neptune rolled 2d10+5,2d10,2d10+5,2d10+5 and got 20, 3, 20, 15 vs 13, 17, 6, 12 House 2 Zhu 2 - Zhu breaks even. She cannot resist gambling for another hour.
OOC: While Pande recovers and Gypsy's tending to her real estate, we'll be slow. I don't want to jump over them.
Meanwhile, the first hour of gambling commences:

A skilled gamer, Kriv is well versed in the art of when to hold them, when to fold them, when to walk away and when to run.
He opts to walk away for the time being. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,620 Likes: 59 Wizop Administrator | Wizop Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 76,620 Likes: 59 | [OOC Back now.

If you have the gaming toolset proficiency add your proficiency bonus. 2 - If you have intimidation, deception or persuasion, roll one of those skills, otherwise just Charisma. If you have the gaming toolset proficiency add your proficiency bonus. 3 - If you have perception or insight skills, roll one of those those, otherwise just Wisdom. If you have the gaming toolset proficiency add your proficiency bonus. 4 - No adjustments of any kind. Just a Wisdom roll. This roll determines if you must play another hour or you have the choice to quit.

For some reason deception was missing from your sheet. I added it back. You would get a +1 for Charisma There's no intuition skill - Did you mean intimidation. No matter, the 1d20+1 roll is legit (a rose by any other name)
DM for Jaliera Gambling DC Neptune rolled 2d10+5,2d10,2d10+5,2d10+5 and got 18, 5, 19, 14
Jaliera did not do well, losing half her stake of 10 gp She does, however have self control and can decide whether or not she wants to continue playing.

Deciding that gambling is not for her, she contents herself wandering around and listening to and watching others play. | | |
