Spikey [IMG]http://www.freewebs.com/lotgame/Mars.GIF[/IMG] Mars: Great! Let's get started! I'll just take the rules directly from the NPC page on the Lord of Thieves Guide! The card game is simple. Mars will have a deck of Jacks, Queens, Kings, and Aces. That?s 16 cards. After shuffling good, you and him will both get 3 cards each. Choose one of those 3 cards to toss back in the pile and Mars will reshuffle. Then choose one of the 11 cards on the table. Then it?s Mars?s turn. You keep this up until one of you has three of the same card. The prizes will vary, but beware, if you lose, you lose big. Mars: Now that the petty rules are out of the way, YOU READY TO PLAY?

Spikey Locke: Haha, no thanks, Mister. I'm just a kid. I have nothing for anyone to do! But I can do stuff for you if you want. *waves key*

The three of them set off down the trail through the forest. Monte's eyes were completely fixed on Iri--er... Amiri the whole way. Of course, he did tell everyone which way to go through the forest even if his mind was some place else. "Say, Amiri, my dear," he began. "What?" Irima grunted. "Did you ever feel... suddenly loving?" "Back off, Monte," Sariyah barked from up front of the group. "Of course, of course! I didn't dream of putting the moves on Ms. Amiri." He shuffled for a bit, then started again. "Are you looking or are you taken?" "I said, back off, Monte!" Sariyah's voice was louder now, with anger. "Why are you so touchy?" Then, he gasped. "Ohhhh! I'm so terribly sorry! I didn't know you two--" "We're not," Irima snapped. "Oh, how positively delightful, then!" "No!" Irima and Sariyah yelled at him simotaneously. "Fine." Monte crossed his arms and trotted on. By late afternoon, they saw a clearing up ahead. Monte nodded as they closed in on it. "Yes, yes, that's where the trail starts to lead to Akubar." "Akubar? The big gambling city?" Monte nodded. Suddenly, Irima and Sariyah felt uneasy. "Are you sure we should go there?" Sariyah questioned. "Of course! What's the harm in that place? Just gamblers. It's not like it's full of crooks or cheaps." Monte made a nervous laugh and the three passed out of the forest. Monte began drinking some wine he stole from Sariyah's back. "So," he began, taking a drink, "what exactly do you want to do in town, anyways?" Sariyah looked back at Monte finally. "Isn't it obvious?" Monte shook his head. "We just needed to get out of the forest. We were lost. Once we get to town, I don't need you anymore. Or you." He shook a finger at Irima. "What?" "Your lies got me into this mess in the first place so, what good are you to me anyways?" "Bwa?" Her sorry face turned to an angry one and she readied her staff for a good thromp on the head, but Monte stepped in between. "Ahem," he spoke, "I believe we are only an hour's worth away from Akubar. Shall we?" Irima and Sariyah put aside their differences and the three of them travelled down the path silently once again.

Spikey The necromane looked Spikey up and down and grunted. Necromane: I'm no friend of an elf! Get lost! Barflay: (from across the room) Calm down, Skarlath! Skarlath: yeah, yeah, whatever you dumb dwarf.

Spikey Barflay: Oh, no, lad. But I hear that there's a man named Chuck in town who does. Or did he already get help? Hm. How about sitting down for a glass of ale?

Spikey Dwarf: Hey there, lad. Nice to meetcha. Name's Barflay. What brings you to me?

gamemasterkev00 Chance: The name's chance, bub. I'm the world's greatest gambler! No one can beat me. Or can they? You look like a lucky guy. Care for a game?

"As much as I'd like to, Irima, we can't." Irima splashed onto shore and glanced back at Sariyah with distaste. "And why not?" "This man," Sariyah said, shooting a glance at the slumbering Monte, "He's going to help us." "Him?" "Yes." "Sleeping Dummy over there?" "Yes." "The man who tried to [i]KILL[/i] us?" "Yes." "Oh. Okay." Irima pretended to calm down as Sariyah pulled himself onto shore. She gripped him by the collar. "Are you crazy, Sariyah?! This man had a gun at me! He wants me dead!" Sariyah pushed away Irima's tensed hands and straightened his cloak. "Relax. I don't like him neither, but he's no threat while I'm around. He just had too much... well..." He nodded towards the many empty wine bottles. "Still," Irima continued, pacing as she did. "He wants me dead because I'm supposedly the Black Quessir." "And yet you don't know black magic." "Yes." "Very well, then. There ya go. A black mage cannot cast any form of white magic. Show him your... er... umm... holy stuff and I'm sure he'll melt like butter." "I don't know..." "Maybe give him flowers or something." Sariyah gave a toothy grin. "Sariyah, we're trying to convince him, not get up the nerve to ask him on a date." She shunned at the unconscious being to her right. "Besides, he's... ugh..." Sariyah dried himself with the blanket Irima slept on and spat out. White flakes poured down from the blanket. "Geez, Irima. Wash your hair! You've got dandruff all over. Ever heard of shampoo?" "That's not dandruff!" Irima said, shocked. She rushed over. "Uh huh. Making up excuses, now? I don't blame you if you're embarrassed, but all it takes is some good scrubbing and--" "Look, Sariyah, and shut up!" Sariyah looked closer at a flake on the blanket. "It's not a flake. It's fairy dust!" The flake did glow. There was a sudden sound of someone whistling. Irima and Sariyah looked around as they perked their ears. It wasn't Monte since he was still in snoozeland. "Where's that coming from?" "I-I don't know." It continued, then faded. Though it was gone, the two of them listened for a few moments more. After not hearing anything else, they turned back to each other, then the blanket. "The dust!" "It's gone!" Irima looked dumbfounded at Sariyah as did he in return just as Monte awoke. "Oh my," he said, scratching his back and rubbing his eyes. "What a nice nap, I do say. I wonder why I took another. I just had one a few moments ago." Irima looked wonderingly at Sariyah. She then whispered to him in a hush voice. "That's odd. Sleep spells usually last for hours. Even days, at times." Sariyah peered past Irima to get a good look at Monte who was now fiddling with the fire. "Maybe your spells last extra short on idiots." They laughed silently, but it was broken by Monte's loud, obnoxious voice. "I say, you two, there's no kissing in my presence! Get over here!"

Spikey Elf: I just lost a bunch of Gold. Watch yourself in this casino. You will lose it all before you know it! ----------- gamemasterkev00 You met Chance the Gambler! Oh my!
