Message: <blockquote data-quote="Redclaw" data-source="post: 4397586" data-attributes="member: 53791">[sblock=a day in the life of Varilar]"I might be Varilar; it depends on who's asking," the cloaked elf says, every syllable sounding suspicious.  "What's that, Pieter sent you?"  His face lightens and he waves a welcoming hand toward the empty seat across from him at the scarred and stained tavern table.  "In that case, I'm sorry for the mistrust, but some of you sailors bring trouble for simple folk like me.  Please, sit right down and tell me what it is I can do for you.  .""A game of chance, eh," he responds, leaning in and looking conspiratorially over his shoulder.  "Aye, I might know where to find such a thing.  I might even be able to swing things in your favor a bit, if you're willing to trust me.""No, I take no offense.  I would want to understand my motivations if I were you, too.  It just so happens that the game I have in mind is run by a Tiefling," he turns and spits in disgust.  "I have no problem with most of their kind, but this one is a pure devil.  Anyway, this Gamble runs a Three-Dragon game, and I would love to see him lose for once.  So if you'll work with me, we'll set him up and take the pot.  How does that sound?""Good, lad, good.  You just do as I say and follow my lead.  You'll sail out of here a wealthy man."..."Oh, lad.  It's you.  I was afraid you wouldn't be up for talking to me again after last night."  The elf looks despondent, even as he casts a wary eye around the bar.  "I don't know how Gamble got wind of what we were doing, but he sure turned the tables on us, didn't he.  I'm right sorry you lost everything, even more so because it means Gamble got it all.""I'm sure it's been tough on you, lad.  It hasn't been easy on me, either.  I'll be sleeping with one eye open.  Gamble doesn't take kindly to people trying to take his money, even if they don't succeed.  What can I do to make--"  He is interrupted by a comotion at the door to the tavern.  The two look up to see two scarred humans enter, followed by a tiefling that is all-too-familiar.  "Out the back, lad.  I'll distract them.  It's the least I can do.  Get yourself back to your ship and sail on out of here.  Gamble's not one to forgive such things quickly," the elf hisses, rising and moving away.  His voice rises as he approaches the humans.  "What are you lot doing here?  Come to give me back what I lost at your crooked table?"  He ducks the first punch, and easily blocks the second, sending the human staggering forward.  As the second thug moves forward the nimble elf grabs his shirt and pulls him off-balance, then nimbly leaps over him to land in front of the tiefling.  With a wink Varilar takes the offered coin pouch as he slides past and out the door, running full speed.  One has to keep up appearances, after all.  This scam would never work again if word got out that he was working with Gamble.
