Rembering a few answers, I take a moment to center myself and calm my voice. "Alright look, I'll surrender if you all will just tell me where I am...and while you're at it, why I thought getting tackled by goons would be fun." As I say this I wrack my own brain for the answers, and I try to remember who I am, what my name is, and where I came from.

"Yes, I found loot. Yes, I will share it with you. No, you are not getting the demonic greatsword."
I hold my hands up before my face, mesmerized by the flickering flames. It's... beautiful.
But more pressing matters require my attention. A memory momentarily surfaces in my mind: someone who's face is blurred is saying, "The devil may be in the details, but the devil and fire have always been good friends." Acting instinctively, I examine my surroundings and fellow combatants, committing everything to memory.
I try and remember. What's going on? Why am I here? Who are these people? Should I stab another guy?
I answer the last question, right in a uniformed man's stomach(plain d20): 15
Regardless of whether I hit or not, I leap up, spinning around, and aim a kick at the uniformed man behind me.
Attack: 2 Damage: 2
Slowly it begins coming back to you. As you looks up you see all the guards towering over you and you remember; you are an Aqua Gnome, you were born in the deepest parts of the sea, under stronger pressure than these men present you. You are of the under water empire, consisting of countless magic powered metal ships sailing far below any threat from other nations.
You are here for enjoyment, a night on the land... well sorta. You are on the Casino boat Janic's Splender, in the Ice Elf town of Ixetan; aptly known as Casino Town.
You thrust the wooden belaying pin into the stomach of another guard, and he doubles over. You jump, spin, and kick at another guard, but you just are unable to leap that high. As you land your name returns to you, it is...
Looking back the way I was carried in I move out to what I would guess is the exit. If any that was carrying me had weapons, I pick up something to fight with. “So I guess the plan was to lock me up? ..... I WAS SO POLITE. WHY NOT ANSWER MY QUESTIONS.”
I scream as I hear and feel the rage building up.
Suddenly you remember, you are a Genasi of the great Fire Nation of Qixallia, The Island of Lost Honor. Your nation has been trying to rebuild that Honor, lost by the savage Tabaxi people of Qixallia's jungles. You spent your life training your body and your flames, as all Genasi do in honor of Axis Flint, the divine Efreet you all descend from.
You pick up a belaying pin from a downed guard. You feel, for once, the sway of the Casino boat as it passes a large wave, and you remember that there is no easy exit. But that hasn't stopped you before; for you are...
“Apparently I was gambling and lost...” I think to myself. “A new ‘what’ I wonder...”
With nothing else to do for the moment, I close my eyes and begin to meditate, trying to bring up more memories of what led me here.
As you close your eyes and begin your meditation, it is interrupted by the Genasi assaulting the guards. Genasi, they are a great bane to the Tabaxi people; though you know this more from word of mouth. Your family grew up here in Ixetan, away from the warm jungles of your people. You have wanted to travel to those lands, but you are unsure if your training has been enough to protect you. Nevertheless, you are here for the last time before your journey; and you finally decided to play Drink Roulette; and of course you lost. You look around the now open room, covered in downed guards; and finally remember your name.
Rembering a few answers, I take a moment to center myself and calm my voice. "Alright look, I'll surrender if you all will just tell me where I am...and while you're at it, why I thought getting tackled by goons would be fun." As I say this I wrack my own brain for the answers, and I try to remember who I am, what my name is, and where I came from.
Your name comes to you first, followed by the name of the ship; Janic's Splender. "You are on the Casino Floor, and the effects of Drink Roulette should be wearing off soon. Please come quietly to a holding cell until the effects have worn off. And don't worry, this happens all the time."
As the Genasi guard behind you places his hand upon you; it all flushes back to you. You didn't come here for fun, you snuck on board to escape a Genasi ship that stole you from Qixallia to 'civilize' you. The Genasi have been aggressively trying to change your people for centuries; in an attempt to regain their lost honor. So prideful, those people are, even blaming the Tabaxi for the Genasi's lost honor.
???: (to the elves hauling me away) "alright, maybe i was being dramatic, i may be a little drunk. I won't cause any more problems if you let me go."
They slow to a stop, just inside the Casino room. "Are you okay now?" One of them asks. "Do you remember who you are, what your name is?"
You recall that you are a native of Ixetan, an Albino Ice Elf of the great Elven nation of Faqedin. You are a regular here, but a Tabaxi friend of yours suggested you try Drink Roulette with them before they leave tomorrow. You unfortunately agreed. Now if only you can recall your name. Oh yeah, its...

But more pressing matters require my attention. A memory momentarily surfaces in my mind: someone who's face is blurred is saying, "The devil may be in the details, but the devil and fire have always been good friends."

Perception: 11
Oh yes, it is your mentor that always says that, you can see his red highlighted coal black skinned face and brilliant red hair now. But what was his name again? Some things are still lost to you. You know you are a Genasi from Qixallia, that your travels brought you here; and that you had no clue how to play Drink Roulette, even now.
The room seems to have mostly settled, with an Aqua Gnome seeming to cause the only remaining commotion. Oh yeah, now you recall your mentor's name, as well as your own.
???: (to the elves) "well maybe i did have a lot to drink. cause i can't seem to remember my own name. A friend of mine challenged me to a drinking game, and i think he won. i don't recall my name, but im from Ixetan. i seem to be sobering a little, please tell me i didn't hurt anyone or do damage to your casino.
Constitution: 17
(to see if i am actually sobering at this point)

Rolen Mandelbaum: (to the elves) "alright, my head is clearing, my name is Rolen Mandelbaum. i cam here with a friend to celebrate before he went on a trip. because he was going away for a while he convinced me to drink and gamble, and the drinking game was a little much for me, hence my drunken state. I think i am alright now. i don't owe the casino any money right?"

(The door is open with an unconscious Ice Elf guard laying in the doorway. There is only one Genasi here, the one that just beat up the guards)
(Ah. One of the other players sections mentioned a Genasi guard. Supposed to be an ice elf? Edited my post)
Finding the door open, Kaimos steps out. Seeing his friend with some other guards, he says, “Rolan! Are you okay? I’m thinking the Drink Roulette was a poor suggestion on my part...”
I allow the guards to restrain and guide me, but my fur bristles slightly under the Genasi's grasp. "Sorry for the trouble, just a bit confused after the roulette..." As we walk I take note of any other occupants of the hall, trying to evaluate how much I can fit into a crowd aboard this vessel. "The name's Pang by-the-by. Uh, apologies to whichever one of you I kicked in the soft bits...had some flashbacks to my last days back home, but none of you'd know anything about that yeah?" I keep an eye on the Genasi as I ask this, trying to gauge his reaction to see if he knows that I'm an escapee.

"Yes, I found loot. Yes, I will share it with you. No, you are not getting the demonic greatsword."
“Yah, but it was my suggestion in the first place. One last night of fun before I leave. We definitely had a good time. Except maybe for the end there...”
The fire Genasi looks around at the downed guards and starts to remember. To himself he says, “ I am Kabarr and am honor bound to make the Tabaxi pay for their destruction of Quxillia. Before me is my enemy.”
Picking up the pin I rush towards the caged Tabaxi.

I have always been able to see all sides of an argument, and nothing, not even the concept of "honor" that my fellow fire genasi value so highly, will cloud my reasoning. I recall that my friends used to joke that I was part water genasi due to this very fact. I step between my fellow fire genasi and the tabaxi, holding my hands out.
"You know, I never did undertsand the whole deal with the honor. Does anybody realize how irrational it is to believe that the tabaxi "stole" our honor? How would that even work? " I quickly remember that this is a subject which exasperates me profusely.
“If Axis Flint ever spawned one Genasi, he surely has guided my path. This foul animal will not further trouble my people. I am here to rid the world of this evil race of cats.” Turning to his fellow fire bred, “why do you stand between me and my trophy ?”
As he speaks to his brethren, Kabarr conjures a flame to hurl inside the cage with the Tabaxi not concerned about its effects on the boat.
