I am posting from several devices throughout the day and I try to post when I have time. Unfortunately, other party members haven't gotten a chance to post yet and I don't want to step over them.
So created this thread to make my posts and then cut and paste them into the appropriate thread later.
I think it should work.
Arís awoke in a foul mood the next morning, having spent most of the night being serenaded by the riotous snoring of her bunkmates. Awake, and with nothing else left to do, the dwarf makes off to find a bath, Orc nuggets!! Blast that sodding bard for getting it into me skull about bathing. Elf farts indeed!
It is a little before dawn, and inside the bathhouse of the inn, Aris soaks in a stout wooden tub, relaxing, the warm water soothing the knots in her back. A successful night all in all. I be having to keep me on a couple of them though, she reflects as she begins to nod off, her mind wandering drifting back on her life.
Roused from her reminiscing by the cooling water Arís begins scrubbing her weary feet as she berates herself and mutters, ”That would have been a great ending to ye story; drowned in a bathtub. Ye Shale brained, wine loving, tunnel worm.” Over the next several minutes Arís continues to curse and fuss while she finishes her ablutions and gets out of the cooling tub. She stands there naked for a few seconds and lets the water runoff her thick well-muscled body onto the cold stone floor before she grabs a towel to dry herself off with.
The clean and fresh dwarf gathers her gear and makes way to the common room to meet her companions from the previous evening.

Yep
You spend some time observing the grounds, looking for anything out of the ordinary. The night is overcast, with the moon often hiding behind clouds, making your job a little easier. The main sources of light come from a lantern shining out of the guardhouse window and torches outside of the guardhouse and the main house entrances. Interestingly, you spot two guards patrolling the mansion's grounds tonight-so much for Pagin's “only one guard on the premises at any given time”. You time their routes, and think you can squeeze between them well enough.
Through a mixture of Stealth, luck, and cunning, you've managed to avoid the patrolling guards and arrive unnoticed at the house.
Arís Begins to tap her foot on the ground her impatience shines through as she sits in the common room.
"This game involves three six-sided dice and be winner take all," She shakes the dice in her hand, then shows them them to everyone. "Now you need two or more players, and all the players agree on the amount of the bet, and they each place that amount in the pot." Looking at the elf she shakes her head and says, "No it not be a real pot it is just called that. It really be just a pile o’ coin." She takes a breath and continues, "Each player then be rolling all three dice at once and must be continuing until a combination be rolled. The player that be rolling the best combination be winning the entire pot, and a new round begins. Now if two or more players tie for the best combination, they must have a shoot out to determine a single winner.
now I'll explain the combinations from best to worst;
4-5-6
The highest possible roll. If you roll 4-5-6, you automatically win.
Trips
Rolling three of the same number is known as rolling "trips". Higher trips beat lower trips, so 4-4-4 is better than 3-3-3.
Point
Rolling a pair, and another number, establishes the singleton as a "point". A higher point beats a lower point, so 2-2-6 is better than 5-5-2.
1-2-3
The lowest possible roll. If you roll 1-2-3, you automatically lose.
Any other roll is a meaningless and must be rerolled until one of the above combinations occurs.” She leans back in his chair and asks, "Any questions?"
”By me bearded bush!”
This also is a good place to store things and do my secret GM rolls.
Whah hahahaaaa
Dooom!
The dwarf crinkles her nose and sniffs, ”I wasn’t even close enough to correctly be ascertaining how much you did or didn’t reek.” She sniffs several more times, ”Now that I am, I can confirm while not pleasant it is neither noxious or putrid. So my remarks couldn’t have been directed at you.”
The Dwarf nodded in agreement, although she doesn’t know many of the instruments being talking about, ”Too true, too true. Meself I dabbled with the flute for a bit. Till me pa be breakin’ it over me backside.” Aris got a faraway look in her eyes, pursed her lips, and continued, ”He would have made a good drummer, pa would have, yes indeed.”
Startled by the mans description Aris gulped and hastily nodded her head in agreement, "That do be soundin' right awful, sir. Bones shouldn't be used for such unnatural purposes. But I can't say that it would be makin' much of a difference to me what be happenin' to me bones after I be havin' no use for them" The dwarf pointed to a button on her blouse, ”This here button be made from a turtle bone. I ain't ever heard him begrudge me the use of it and I be havin' more use for than it he be."
"It be easier to be changing the course of river then to be getting a man to stop talking."
”Be ye as steadfast as granite!”

Pivot - Rotating 180 degrees while keeping the front foot stationary.
Pommel - the knobby end of the hilt, used by the second hand for a ball-in-socket pivot point in many moves, or merely as a counterweight in one handed attacks.
Posta - the Italian word for guard, as in a position of safety.
Posta drill - a series of movements from guard to guard, to help you learn the guards.
