[QUOTE="talien, post: 4199574, member: 3285"] [b]The Last Resort - Part 7a: The Chosen One[/b] Kham stared intently at his hand. He had the unique Bahamut card, the Dragon God. Except that he couldn’t add Bahamut to his flight without losing the gambit. The card specifically stated that as long as he had Bahamut and an evil dragon in his flight, he couldn’t win the gambit. All he had were evil dragons in his hand. On the other hand, the strength of the Bahamut card was too tempting to pass up: Bahamut had a strength of thirteen. He was bound to be the highest with Bahamut in his flight! Making a decision, Kham snapped the Bahamut card down. “A strong showing,” said Henry. “With Bahamut and your Copper Dragon, you’re at a strength of twenty-three.” Kham leaned back in his chair. “Let’s see you beat that!” Behind him, a half-naked Thomas Rhymer fled The Last Resort. Henry had a five strength flight with a Brass and Bronze Dragon. The odds were low that he could beat Kham’s flight. With a slow smile, Henry snapped down a mortal card: The Druid. “Your turn.” “Son of a BITCH!” shouted Kham, throwing his cards down. “What?” asked Beldin. “The Druid card means the player with the weakest flight wins the gambit instead of the strongest.” Henry raked the chips in the pot towards him. “Judging by our friend’s reaction, I gather he doesn’t have anything low enough to compete.” Kham looked away in disgust. “I think I’m done with this game.” He was ahead of where he was before, but not enough to pay Egil’s debt. Ilmarė had already left to find Talbot. Beldin reluctantly withdrew from the game when it was clear he was running out of money. “It’s all about the timing, Kham. Tell your pretty elorii friend that she’s not welcome at my table anymore.” He grinned. “She nearly cleaned us all out.” “You’re a real charmer, Tranco.” Kham shoved his hands in his overcoat pockets. “I’m going upstairs to tell Egil the bad news.” Henry started counting the chips. “You might want to hurry. Two pairs of men took a room on either side of Egil’s.” Beldin picked up his axe and followed Kham upstairs. Henry called over to the masked actors, all huddled around the table speaking conspiratorially amongst themselves. “Can I interest you in a game of chance?” [/QUOTE]
