[QUOTE="talien, post: 4195640, member: 3285"] [b]The Last Resort - Part 5c: An Honest Game of Chance[/b] “Someone has been loitering by the doors for some time now,” said Sebastian. “If that’s an excuse to stop you from losing money,” said Kham, “then maybe you should take it.” The dark-kin frowned over at him. “I’m not tapped out yet.” “You’re running out of things to cash in,” said Ilmarė. Several scroll cases and Beldin’s adamantium dagger were in the pot. “Perhaps you should quit while you’re ahead.” Henry shuffled the cards again. “Your friend Edward has a new guest.” Kham glanced in Edward’s direction. “Elijah Quelch,” he said with a sneer. “You know him?” asked Ilmarė. “Not personally. He’s a rival of an antiques dealer I know.” “Good man, Falthar,” said Henry. “But Quelch…well there’s nothing Quelch won’t buy.” “I’m becoming increasingly concerned about what Edward took on board the Shrike,” said Sebastian. Just then a blustery Altharian merchant and four hired thugs burst into the lobby. “Aljandros?” Ilmarė said in surprise. “Last I saw him, he was running for his life in Grand Coryan.” “He looks mad,” said Beldin. Aljandros made a beeline straight for Bobbin. “I demand to know where mah wife ees!” Bobbin put up both hands. “Calm down, I’m sure if you tell me whom you’re looking for…” “Mah wife!” shouted Aljandros, practically frothing. “She ees here with her lover! Where are you Imelda? I’ll find that lousy cur!” “That’d be Thomas Rhymer.” Henry didn’t look at the scene as he began flipping cards to the other players. “He went upstairs a few hours ago carrying a bottle of expensive wine and two glasses.” Sebastian smoothed his robes. “This seems like as good an excuse as any to stop playing.” He nodded to Henry. “Thanks for the game.” Henry chuckled. “Just like a dark-kin. Rob him blind and he’ll thank you for the privilege.” [/QUOTE]
