Wex nods, "We're traveling the same way, but I'll have my own room." He looks the others. "Nightmares," he says by way of explanation. As before, he'll take his meal and a bit of mead to the side, watching. (Previous rolls for Per and Ins were 5 and 3, so basically he just sits and loses himself in his thoughts.) Unless something happens, he'll eventually go up to his room to sleep.

ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he). Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. I love it so.
Wex has a lot of cash squirreled away, he will pay for his own room, but not for Theo's. Or for Theo's gambling. Unless there's some sort of altercation, then he might (might) step in. Maybe. If he notices with his poor rolls. :)

The young Innkeeper sets you up with rooms. "It'll be 50 silver for a single room for the night, and 1 gold for the bigger bunk room, Those are actually the only two rooms we have left. When you head up the stairs just stay to the left, if you go to the right you'll pretty much fall down to the outside in front of the stables."
You all drop off your things in your respective rooms. Sevrn, says his evening prayers before going for a walk outside for a bit. Downstairs is starting to fill up with the nightly drinking crowd. Most of the people are just sitting and talking but, after walking the crowd for a bit, Theo you do find a card game of 3Dragon Ante being played by a few older gruff looking men.
Wex and Flynn you settle in for a few drinks after dinner and watch Theo looking for a game.
Theo will definitely play hards with the gruff group of men.
Theo will for sure do his best, using a combination of his skill for cards with a bit of sleight of hand and magic. The cantrip Minor Illusion has no verbal component but Theo will make use of sleight of hand and deception to hide any S/M components the best he can.
Theo is proficient in Cards, Sleight of Hand, Deception, and again has the cantrip Minor Illusion- just let me know what you'd like me to roll or do. :)
However, Theo is out to get ahead and not take them for all they are worth - he's a smart 'cheater' and in this case he'll try to keep his greed in check. The goal is to come away a winner in a 'realistic' way.
Sevrn returns after nearly an hour and takes a seat adjacent Wex. After ordering a drink and trading jokes Sevrn leans in to tell a punch line which he whispers into Wex's ear:
"The town was attacked almost a month ago. Same deal as Greenest, they were more interested in looting than actually killing anyone. After the raid they started to repair, guard shifts were doubled for a indefinite future. They had what they thought were a few cultists come into town. The men and their cart of "goods" were inspected and some of the merchandise were recognized by a townsfolk. The men were arrested and sent to Scornubel to stand trial. The men wouldn't talk no matter what methods the guardsman tried."
Sevrn throws his head back in laughter, then notices Theo at the card table.
"This won't end well."
Standing up, Sevrn pats Wex on the back and retires to bed.
Wex chuckles along with the "joke," impressed that the severe man had thought to do the scouting. He nods to Sevrn at his wisdom about Theo's game. "I'll keep an eye on our journeyman," he says. "Sleep well." With Flynn, Wex will settle back, staring into his cup.

Theo, as you approach one of the men notices. You easily see him say something imperceptible to one of the other men, then he looks at you and with a warm smile says, "Hello there youngen. Looking for a way to pass the night?" The other men give you a quick glance and then wait for your response before dealing the next hand.
"That's what I like to hear! Come on then! Have a sit, friend!" The men let out a collective chuckle, as you take a seat Theo. One man deals out three cards to each player, as each person ante's 5 silver into the pot. "We like to start off slow here friend. Five silver for the ante."
OCC: What did the men whisper to each other as Theo approached? If they were whispering in common or dwarven he knows exactly what they said by being able to read their lips - Observant feat :)
The men let out a few grumbles at their loss of the first round. The talkative one says, "Alright there lad! That was a good round, well played. Let's go ahead and deal another 'warm up' round. Same ante"
The dealer shuffles the deck a few times and places them out to have you cut the deck Theo, then deals out another three cards to each player.
OOC: ok so thats 12sp won for you! Go ahead and roll another Playing Card Set roll. DC= 10 again.

Theo doesn't mind bunking - especially since he has almost no money as it was all stolen by the cult.
After getting settled and having some food, Theo will use some of his emergency gold to get in on some card games to win some money.
OCC: How will this work? Theo is proficient in cards and sleight of hand :)

Flynn will also be listening and practicing voices he hears, especially guardsmen or people of importance if he sees any

Flynn tries to impersonate/imitate Sevrn "you dont say, was there more

Flynn, your impersonation is perfect! It catches Sevrn and Wex off guard by how much you sounded like him.
Theo smiles. "Sure, I could use some relaxation. Deal me in."
"That's what I like to hear! Come on then! Have a sit, friend!" The men let out a collective chuckle, as you take a seat Theo. One man deals out three cards to each player, as each person ante's 5 silver into the pot. "We like to start off slow here friend. Five silver for the ante."
Before Theo sits and begins...
OCC: What did the men whisper to each other as Theo approached? If they were whispering in common or dwarven he knows exactly what they said by being able to read their lips - Observant feat :)
Theo smirks as he sits down at the table. He takes his cards and puts in his ante.
"Should be fun after my long travels. It's been forever since I've played any sort of cards."
Theo looks around the table and gives another innocent smile.
The men smirk back, and the first round is played out.
OOC: Roll me a Playing Card Set roll! I'll just let you know the DC for this first round so everyone can watch lol. DC=10
Theo smiles and makes polite small talk as they play.
He just starts off counting cards. Playing Card roll: 20
He'll also be keeping a general look out around the table to see if the others are cheating.
Passive Perception: 16
Flynn will start to take an interest in the game

OOC: lol. You've definitely captured my rl attention!
