"I'd like to do this quickly, it's my fault that both of them are in the situations they are in and I want to make sure they are both okay." Falkas scratches his cheek. "It's not the best start, but we need to clear this up so we can get the statue." He looks around casually, "Even if we have to rob whoever wins the tournament."

After Elovar finishes speaking, Falkas quickly steps ahead of him, "Please, have you seen my brother?! He looks a bit like me, minus the beard and he carries a mop with him as it's his one passion in life to make the world a cleaner place. I brought him here and we got seperated and I don't know what to do. He might've asked one of you if he could help mop up the water around here. Please you have to help me find him."

Deception: 19

The server looks up "A mop. Yeah I think I remember someone with a mop, they did stand out. Not a lot of people with mops round here who aren't staff. They have a cleaning fetish or something? I think Well'ard took them off. Did they cause trouble?"

"OK Sorith first round. How much do you want to bet? Then let's roll"

Sorith: Decide an amount in gp from the 1000 to bet. And then roll 5 d12

"It's one of his favorite things to do. It's a dreadful thing, a dirty floor, people don't notice a clean floor but the moment it's dirty someone will comment on it, he always said. Could we go see this Willard? I don't think he'd get into trouble but he might try and get hired on here as there's a lot of water on the ground as you know." Falkas looks over in the direction of the all the running water. "Please, sir? I told our mother I'd always look out for him."

"Well I can't take you back there. You need to be escorted really. But I will just find one of the guards and bring them over" They walk off to find a guard.

"Uh... I guess fifty would be a good start?"

First roll: 4
Second roll: 2
Third roll: 4
Fourth roll: 8
Fifth roll: 3

(All rolled on the character sheet. I'm not really sure how to RP this, sorry...)

Sinak finds himself in a room with a large devil behind a desk. The edges of the room are covered by filing cabinets and large bookcases. The devil is just speaking to someone through a crystal ball, they hold up a hand indicating that you should wait, they finish their conversation with “...well we can’t just wipe out the whole city, what would be the point they will all be dead soon anyway. Just kill every third person, that should send a message. Also tattoo the message onto the forehead of every survivor, I do not want to have this conversation again.” The ball goes cloudy and they look up at you “What's this I hear about people not following procedures. Those Beshaba people are generally nuts, but they at least have the good sense not to actually discourage cheating. Come on I haven’t got all day”

[OOC Please roll a perception check]

"Workin' so far I think." Falkas glances at Elovar.

Sorith ponders for a moment, before setting down the card that has a two. "I guess I'll go with this one."

Jetta Moore smiles and says in a whisper "OK Sorith, keep them guessing. Do you want to up the bet? Weed out those who are scared?"

A small guard, completely covered in weapons, approaches Falkas and Elovar. You count at least 10 knives and two swords on display. They look up and say "What do you want? You causing trouble?"

Quote from KudosWyvernspur >>

A small guard, completely covered in weapons, approaches Falkas and Elovar. You count at least 10 knives and two swords on display. They look up and say "What do you want? You causing trouble?"

"Oh, no.  We'd never think of it," says Elovar.  "My friend here has a brother, simple drow with a passion for cleaning, but they got separated after arriving.  I hoped that you could take us back to see whomever is in charge of hiring to check whether his brother is there.  You see, my friend swore to his mother that he'd always look out for his brother, but now he's lost in this dazzling, new casino!" 

Elovar glances at Falkas with a reassuring smile and leaning in closer to the guard, he says in a lower voice, "Honestly, I've never seen him this worried.  If you could take us in the back, we may find his brother: problem solved!  But if not, he could at least have his meltdown in private and not make a scene here in front of all of your other patrons." 

Persuasion 16

They look up and say "OK, I'll take you back and get this sorted out" they wave at two other guards "Mike, Larry. Let us escort these two fine gentlemen to the back rooms." Two addtional large Tieflings approach and escort you to the secure employee door and into the secure back area. 

You all approach the manager's office where you can hear sobbing. The shorter guard knocks on the door and Well’ard answers “Err not now guys, he is having one of his episodes.” the shorter guard asks “Caused by a drow with a Mop?” and Well’ard answers “Yeah, how did you guess”. The shorter guard responds “Don’t worry, we can handle it”.  

What do you do?

Sinak takes in the conversation, looks around the desk, at the crystal ball, taking all in, eyes wide.  In his mind he’s taking in information for his Queen, and looking for a way to save his own hide and the operation.  

Sinak perception : 16

Chrys nods in agreement to Elovar's plan, and goes back out into the casino floor, keeping an eye on Sorith and the game, and also looking around for Twelve and the old gnome crone.

Passing the statue guard, she says sweetly, "It's hard for me to see the action down here on the ground, do you have any rules against me flying so I can see better?"

"Nothing against flying. Some staff have wings"

"I guess the bet could be raised by..." she trails off, trying to think for a moment before finally answering, "twenty-five gold?"
