[[ OOC: Yes, easier face to face, but still quite clear... both Raynoir and Atlas, in order to win, must keep rolling until they either bust or get to a total of 20-21 ]]
Khessa stops suspecting Ms Sparkly, as she loses. Maybe she is playing without cheating, after all. Or was she using her powers to help Tarina, who got in fact a high result without busting? Oh, who knows... and who cares - murders are a more serious matter than possible cheating.
The blonde warrior is also pleased that the sudden revelation by Elias did not upset anyone. Tarina will probably listen to them, as soon as the outcome of the game is decided...
He returns to the here and now and asks “Murders?”
In the meantime, downstairs:
WHAUL will look at TAZZAVUR,"Well met, TAZZAVUR."
"Dozens of them throughout the city. The rats are drawn to the blood where the murders happen. Seldom is there a body. Some say the Cultist of the Dead Three have returned," You can hear fear in this big Half-Orc's voice.
“No bodies,” WHAULsays. “Very grizzly. All that is left is a little blood and pieces of innards.” When he sees the Flaming Fist badge, “I wondered if the Flaming Fist would even bother with Ulder Ravengard gone. I don’t know where any recent murders have occurred. The last evidence of one I saw was a week ago.”
(@Raynoir - When you get an opportunity, please roll a d6. You currently have 17 in the game of Baldur's Bones. A 5 or 6 would be a "bust" and you would lose. A 4 would mean you tied with Atlas. Less than a 4 means you should make another roll. You need a 21 and can't go over.)
(@Everyone - While we finish up the game of Baldur's Bones, we will also move forward with what happens next.)
“I guess I am done for now,” TARINA pulls a sack from her backpack and gathers her coins. She stows the sack into her backpack.
“RAHIMA, you need better luck,” she says to the Sparkly Woman. The woman simply nods in agreement.
TARINA then looks at the young wizard, “That is one of Zodge’s badges. What does he want?”
Indeed, if you did not know by now, the various captains of the Flaming Fist have their own unique badges.
"We were sent to find you so that we may gather what informtion you have on the Cult of the Dead Three. We have been tasked with bringing about their demise and would like to not go in blind. Whatever information you have will be of great help."
Khessa waits for Rahima aka Ms Sparkly to go away, then she adds, with concerned blue eyes, to what Atlas slready said: "It's about the murders, you know. Help us find those merciless cultists, so we can get rid the city at least of that threat; it will be in the best interest of everybody".
(Since we are moving things along. I will continue to roll until I stand or bust. Tarina 14
Tarina rolls again.4
Tarina looks around at the newcomers and gives it one more roll.
Tarina rolls again 6
She give it yet another roll.
Tarina rolls yet again. 3
Tarina now has 20 she stands.
Then the sparkly lady rolls. 3
The sparkly lady has 18 and will roll again.
1
And she will try it yet again. Sparkly Lady roll 2
With an exasperated sigh, the SPARKLY LADY bust.
TARINA 20
SPARKLY LADY (Bust)
ATLAS 12
RAYNOIR 17
(Atlas and Raynoir go ahead and make your rolls to see if you can beat 20 or bust.)
TARINA hears the young wizard's comments but focuses on completing the game.
(This game is easier face to face.)

Atlas takes another roll 1
ATLAS 13
Rolling again 5
ATLAS 18
On his final roll Atlas would attempt to roll his die in a way that it lands directly on a 3
SLIGHT OF HAND 18
The die lands on a 3.
TARINA eyes ATLAS, followed by a huge grin.
(Raynoir is up. You have 17. Roll a 4 or a combination of dice up to 4, and you can tie ATLAS.)
“No bodies you say? Does anyone have any ideas about what happens to them? Sounds like a grizzly fate.”
TAZZAVUR orders a round of drinks from a passing server. When the drinks arrive, he will subtly show the Flaming Fists badge.
“I’ve been asked to look into the murders, see if we can find out who’s behind ‘em. Do you know where the most recent murder occurred?”
“No bodies,” WHAUL says. “Very grizzly. All that is left is a little blood and pieces of innards.” When he sees the Flaming Fist badge, “I wondered if the Flaming Fist would even bother with Ulder Ravengard gone. I don’t know where any recent murders have occurred. The last evidence of one I saw was a week ago.”

Meanwhile on the lower floor:
The waitress delivers two cold ales to the table with TAZZAVUR and WHAUL, "That will be two silvers."
WHAUL takes his ale and drinks it in one big slurp, "Ahh! Refreshing! The ale and the beef stew are the best things about the Elfsong Tavern."
"We were sent to find you so that we may gather what informtion you have on the Cult of the Dead Three. We have been tasked with bringing about their demise and would like to not go in blind. Whatever information you have will be of great help."

Stow the badge back in my pocket, observing Tarina as she reacts and answers.
