'Can we say Tacky ?
"Uh... Tacky?" tries the half-orc, smiling afterwards at his accomplishment. "Heh. Tacky. Tacky!"
"Well done , Jeagal"
Naeem nods in agreement with Aude's comment. "I presume if we lose nothing then they will not mark us."
"Unfortunately its never that easy," Angus replies.
"Did you catch the fact the winner leaves with 10,000 in silver? what happened to the devil's gold do you think?" Angus asks them."And yes very tacky, indeed," Angus added frowning.
"I agree. Just look at these women! They leave nothing to the imagination. They give it all away for free. There's no talent, no skill there. The real trick is making them pay for it. One way or another."
Fortunata offers her hands to any who would accompany this lady.
"Let's go play some Ghoulette!"
"Have to say I don't much care for the proprietor's idea of a good scheme but I suspect we're all expected to throw in a few gold for the evening's entertainment, care to choose a game to look over whilst mingling for information before trying, Aude?" Angus asked carefully scrutinising the assembly before him.
~Very probably rigged but given Riddleport's reputation it would indeed be very cunning and that reward of being able to walk away with their money and a prize surprisingly lacking in gold meant there was going to be more going on than he previously thought~ Angus carefully thought out.
"Naeem be careful, something is very off here, it might be just our host's presence making things more than it seems but I think we might have more happening tonight than the host planned for," Angus mutters to the monk.
"Hmm, just keep an eye out just in case and keep close, something... is not quite right and I can't put my finger on what it is..." Angus adds stroking his beard as his eyes narrow.
(OOC: Gather Information seems the best place to start, at the moment Angus is wondering what Saul has planned and being in Riddleport there's bound to be someone who would rather see him fail so mingling would help either allay these fears and getting more details on what games he has planned might reveal what other dodges he has planned)
I don't know yet what games are available but I fear I'll be ill considered if I don't play at least a little

"Then by all means lets mingle, get the lowdown on the games and see what catches your attention whilst the rest of us try and gauge what else is developing," Angus nods wondering what else is going to happen tonight.
"Jeagal not play game. Jeagal always lose. Jeagal not lose in arena, but fight here not game. Jeagal not play." makes the half-orc his point.
'I could say games of life and death' 'but in fact I don't play that much . some tacticals games from time to time' .
Angus starts to mingle looking at the various games, what each game is actually about and so on but also more importantly listening to the others present getting a handle on what they think of the event and hopefully see if the host has other things planned.
(OOC: Could you make a Gather Information roll for me please, along with a Knowledge/Nobility check to see if Angus recognises any of the guests as being who's who of Riddleport, he won't be bothering them just noting who's present before focusing on the games so he can go back to the others and discuss the various games present and what else he can pick up by listening.)
"Forgive me. I know why you're here, of course. This gambling event has brought everyone out tonight. I'm Fortune."
"I'm Elinea. Gambling is not really my main interest here, but I expected this to be the time and place to have a look at the citizens and visitors of Riddleport..... Are you from here, Fortune?"

"I'm ashamed to say I am. I've always wanted to get out, but I've never had the motivation. Or the will. Or the experience. Besides, I'm good at what I do here. It's comfortable. And a little profitable too."
Angus starts to mingle looking at the various games, what each game is actually about and so on but also more importantly listening to the others present getting a handle on what they think of the event and hopefully see if the host has other things planned.
After a while Angus returns to Naeem who is hopefully near Aude and Jeagal.
"Hate to say this but have you had better luck all I've got after all this "mingling" is the beginning of a headache and I still don't have a clue about all of this..." Angus mutters shaking his head as he finally locates a tankard of ale and begins to drink trying to ease the tension the evening's entertainment is giving him...(OOC; Ended up rolling myself got an 8 for gather information and the Knowledge/Nobility roll total was even lower!)
