Redbadge's Solo Skull and Shackles (IC)

[Redbadge]

You see a twinkle in her eye. "Boy would I. Come on, we'll challenge Aretta, Jape, and Syl to Pig Two-dice. They love the game. We'll both enter the pot, and if either of us wins, we'll split the money afterwards."

She quickly explains the rules of Pig Two-dice:

[sblock=Pig Two-Dice]1. Ante up your bet. Aretta, Jape, and Sly won't play for less than 50 gold, but feel free to bid more.
2. Roll 2 six-sided dice. If either dice shows a 1, your turn ends with no points scored. Otherwise, you may save the total of the points.
3. At this point, you may roll again, or you may hold. If you hold, all points you have saved so far are permanently held and are added to your score. If you roll, you have the chance to get more points during the turn. However, if at any point you roll a 1, all saved points for that turn are lost, your score does not increase, and it is the next player's turn.
4. If at any point you roll double 1s, your score becomes 0 and your turn ends.
5. The first pirate to 100 or more points wins the entire pot.[/sblock]

GM: Sandara has prepared a special favor from Besmara. Once each during the entire game, you may reroll one or both of the six-sided dice. Gamblers at heart, the other three are eager to begin. Name your ante, and we'll roll initiative.

Jhiv puts 8 pp in the pot then sits down while rolling his sleeves up to his elbows.

You and Sandara gather stools around an over-turned barrel with Slippery Syl Lonegan, Jaundiced Jape, and Aretta Bansion.

Once everyone has anted the 80 gold you suggested, Aretta pulls out a pair of ebony wood dice with smiling white skulls where the "ones" pips should be. "Time to go "fishin'", eh," she says, causing the other two to laugh and you and Sandara to roll your eyes. "We'll roll to see who goes first..." The dice clatter across the barrel as each of you roll the pair of dice. "...Looks like you're up, Fishman."

"Well, let's get this started. That will do for now."

 

[Redbadge]

Aretta, the bad-tempered ex-harlot with big ears, goes next.

"Time to learn how it's done, folks... Damnit."

After recovering the dice from across the room, the unhinged woman Syl goes next. She plays quietly and cautiously, simply saying, "Hold," after two rolls.

The half-orc says naught at all, simply setting the dice in front of Sandara when he is done.

"The Pirate Queen will guide me," says Sandara as she begins to roll.

With only her second roll, she has to sit back and laugh. "Apparently right onto a reef."

Jhiv takes the dice back from Sandara. "Hmm, seems your bad luck rubbed off on the dice," Jhiv says as he hands the dice to Aretta.

OOC: Jhiv uses his re-roll on that first roll.

 

[Redbadge]

"I got ya'll this time." Aretta grabs to dice and begins to roll... and roll... and roll, really pushing her luck. That is, until she hits a skull and throws the dice across the hold again.
