But at least Vicious has enough brains to sense his danger and mention the Brotherhood -- though that'll come back to bite him, bad, if it's not entirely true! Might have to pass on rolling him just now though... Shame: that ring would have looked good on him... And that gnome question's practically an open invite to lead him down some dark alley too! "Oh, right: gnomes! Naw, can't say as I do. What's he look like?" Working hard to care at this point, but you never know. (And is it just him or was that question of Crancy's...) "Raise you 10 shiny, shiny silvers, Vicious: feeling good about this one, my friends!" He tries not to let his new suspiscions show in his gaze as he discretely peers at the older 'merchant' over his cards...[OOC]John now suspect *Crancy* has ties with the Brotherhood and that question was a test for Frankil. Which he failed, of course. Looking for anything to deny or confirm that suspiscion.[/OOC]"Them's the breaks folks!" he grins, raking-in his winnings. Can't quite believe it himself, actually: even doing his utmost those last two hands were average at best! Seems Bysdan might not be favouring him all that much, but he sure had something against Crancy and - most of all - Vicious (the fop hasn't won a single hand since that first one)![sblock=Bet it all Johny!]The old guy isn't letting him win, is he?Last one: John cranks up the volume to full, raising the stakes to max on every one of the following three hands, and going so far as to bet *all* his winnings (20 sp, 40 cp by my count) on the hand with the closest totals (where he uses his +6, of course)... Actually, if it's a really close-fought contest he'll (Wis roll <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4200271/" target="_blank">1d20=17</a>) *not* bet everything Big John loaned him after all.
