[QUOTE="Guilt Puppy, post: 732814, member: 6521"] Oren grins -- genuinely amused. "Well met, stranger -- and well played." He looks to Kerith. "How much are you down? 18 if my count is correct? That puts us up" -- he shuffles through -- "thirty-two." He carefully divides up his stack, sliding sixteen gold to the hooded stranger, and eighteen back to Kerith. "May Olidammara see this put to appropriate use." Assuming there is no protest, he continues: "Now, we won't be staying in town long, but should we or I ever return here, how might I get in touch with the Guild, to be sure that earnings are properly ordained?" Any mind-reading will pick up that he's being pretty honest in his intentions. To which he adds: [i]Just in case this is a clever bluff, would you mind scratching the table?[/i] Also, for the mental record, he does consider putting a knife in this fellow's gut if he [i]doesn't[/i] scratch the table, but only for a moment -- sixteen gold isn't worth a life, even before considering the trouble it would cause. [i](OOC -- if the profit of 50 was taking Kerith's losses into consideration already, change the sixteens above to 25s, and remove some of the thinly-veiled tension. :) )[/i] [/QUOTE]
