She'd noticed that his eyes seem oddly bloodshot earlier, but it's once he speaks that she catches sight of his pointed teeth and recognizes him for what he is; a tiefling. "Two teeth for the lady. Roll yer point." Girri dutifully takes up the proffered die into the cup, gives it a shake and plunks the cup upside-down on the black felt tabletop. Lifting the cup reveals that she's rolled a 3. The croupier repeats the process with three other players at the table: a female dwarf with a sallow complexion, a disinterested looking woman sporting an eyepatch and a toothless old man with calloused hands.After the other players have rolled their points, the tiefling croupier takes up three 6-sided horn dice into a cup, shakes it, plunks it down and lifts it up to reveal a low total of 6; a number hard to bound. All of the players then scoop up their dice and roll their second number. Everyone fails to bound the croupier's roll and looses their stakes; that is except for Girri, who's rolled a 19. "The young lady bounds and wins two teeth."As the croupier pays her winnings, the dwarf and the man grumble while the eyepatch wearing woman simply wanders off into the crowd.Taking up her chips, Girri is approached by the curvaceous succubus waitress who hands her a small glass with a reddish-amber liquid that smells of cinnamon along with five copper hearts in change. The scantily clad woman pauses for a moment as Girri takes a sip. Behind her, the tiefling is setting up for the next round. "Bounder, Bounder Bounder! Roll the bones! Try yer luck!"</blockquote>
