The Four Lands

[J. Alexander]

Games Upstairs

Angelo enters the upstairs room which is roughly the same size as the one below with yet an addtionaly stairway along the back wall leading to the third story and an obvious bordello.

Upon inspection while at the gaming tables, Angelo quickly discerns that the tables are badly rigged in a very crude fashion. The big he man in the room is named Roderick, and Angelo has seen his ilk on more than one occasion. Stupid, slow, muscle bound and one who gets his way thru bluff and physical intimidation.

Roderick swaggers thru the establishment like some lord of the manner. He is dressed very gaudily in lineen and silk with no true sense of style. His trousers are orange and the shir it bright red, a most glaring combination that sets Angelo refined senses on edge.

He is carrying several daggers and a short sword and upon observation has little or no skill with them.

Cheaters

At Angelo's news, Roderick puffs up and say, "Cheaters, here, I am afraid you mistaken, we run honest games here" This confirms Angelo's opinion of him that he is none to bright. "You just want to whine about your loses, now be off with you"

Roll Intimdate.....Roderick has a 16

Roderick

Senseing that his physcial size is wokring, Roderick comes closer to Angelo, and says "Take your whiing else well fancy man before I give you something to really whine about" As he closes on angelo, the crowd parts and Angelo quickly finds himself in the center of a circle. He briefly overhears someone callingout odds.

Angelo

Knowing he is in deep manure when he smells it, Angelo decides to go for broke. He tips over the nearest rigged game to reavel the cheat to all assembled. "Listen big man, your games are rigged, your booze is watery and your whores have the eldritch demon clap." Pointing to the man's crotch with his staff he adds, "I can see with my arcane sight that you've been bedding those sick whores and soon your manhood will look like an overcooked sausage--blackend, shrunken and oozing puss." Gesturing to the crowd he says, "How many of your patrons will take that demon clap home to their wives with no money for a cure because of the rigged games and worse yet sober because the booze is weak."

Fight in the Game Room

Angelo's quick action takes the big man by suprise. Once the table is flippe over and the wires exposed, there is an immediate uproar in the room with other patrons filpping tables to expose yet more wires and of course the mad scramble for money that is hitting the grond. Unforatly for Angelo, some of the people run down stairs screaming "A wizard, A wizard is here, run for your lives, He has laid a curse on us all"

With a roar Roderick grabs his shortsword and rushes Angelo...

Tetsu

"M'Lady, as I do not know you or your needs, I cannot logically know what to offer you in recompense for a 'Walking.' As a place to start, I will gladly take care of upkeep on your abode and any chores you need done for a week -- I am an excellent cook as well as a passable handyman. If this does not suit, please inform me and tell me something more in line with what you are looking for."

For Tetsu

With a look of disqust she address the dwarf befor her door 'One of those logic types are you..Then know this.....{AT THIS POINT HER EYES GO DISTANT, AND TETSU FEELS A COLDNESS IN THE AIR} and she says
Knowledge is not won by logical pursuit
Nor does fortune favor those who are cute
That which is desired may often be gained
But only if one is willing to play the game

Do what your heart tells you do do Master Dwarf not what your head tells you you should do..

I shall await your work tomorrow afternoon.....Good day to you...

She then firmly but gently shuts the door....
