Maybe it's just the Alcohol, but Heck is having a heck of a hard time trying to pay attention to people's faces. The noises of everyone in the Saloon doesn't exactly help either.
It is now Eugene's Turn. There is $3.25 in the Pot.
((Does anyone have a specific level limit they want for the campaign, or just whatever ends up happening? Believe it or not, I am tracking XP separately and it isn't purely based on fighting. I just don't want to give specifics so that you focus on Roleplaying. Also Heck has never smoked the Cigar Vito gave him))
((Heck and Eugene should probably tell Vito if they want anything from the General Store soon. I'm planning on moving the plot to 10pm in-game if it isn't already by Sunday 9pm Eastern Time))
The hour rolls by as Eugene, Heck, and Bill finish up the Dice Game, and Vito gets another Box of Cigars. Eugene and Heck manage to distract Bill into challenging Eugene's Bet. The two of them then end up deciding to divide the pot and call it a game. Both of them pocket $1.75 in quarters each. The whole gang takes the remaining Whiskey with them as they begin to walk towards the Armory to catch up with Johannes, and hopefully meet with this Drow Witch that keeps coming up.
Heck jingles the new coins in his pocket. Maybe there's something to be said for gambling, especially when we shore up the odds a little bit with little bit of teamwork... Now, whatta you boys reckon the deal is with this drow witch lady?
((Sorry for being out of commision, go ahead and wrap up the dice game but I'm gonna retcon in a question. Eugene doesn't need anything from the store. And go nuts with the level cap))
Dobbs smiles as he reveals his dice to Bill's dismay. "So how's about it Jacob, is this true? How'dyeh go about goin' through the res' safely? What word from 'round the Town o' James?"

Silence. You don't think Sidewinder was angry, but he has a tendency to cut off communications when deep in thought. Usually with an excuse, he never seemed to care when you thought about women before.
While the gang is gathering up the cash Jacob leans in. "Well, I know a Brave there that owes me a favor. The rest of the Tribe tends to know about that kind of thing, so as long as I don't get too close to Whiterock, they'll just let me ride on by. I often get tasked just to ride into Town whenever anyone needs something because of it." He then stifles a yawn before continuing, "Excuse me. Right, so- the Sheriff has got some trouble on his hand right now. Some dumbass that was supposed to negotiate with Chieftain decided to get frisky with his daughter in the middle of the talks. Her husband caught him and killed him right in front of the whole delegation. Then there's a group of Centaur blocking off the bridge that passes over Owlbear River. You could cross through the river, but it's a problem for anyone that wants to move anything through that area. I'm sure you've heard about the Blood Drained Cattle at Joe Crier's Ranch, that's been going on for a while. No one knows what's going on there. Then I heard there was some Gith spotted on Sandships out by the Grand Quicksands... or was it Giff? If your looking for something more fun then the Casino just opened up. That's about it."
The gang take their leave after hearing this information and make their way to the Armory. Once they reach there they can see what appears to be Johannes having fallen asleep after locking the door. The keys are still in his hand pointed towards the lock and he's snoring.
Get a load of this joker, fellas. Dekhan will walk up and gently shake the shopkeep's shoulder. Whats the matter old Hans? You not gettin enough sleep these days?
((wrong game, your playing Heck in this one, but it is in character))
"Rhmph?" the Shopkeep rolls over and stands up slowly, "Give an ageing Dvarf a break. I may not look it, but I vas a lLeutenant Colonel in de Aztian-Vin Var you know. I can still crack a vhip wid de rest of you kinders. Can't shot to save my life anymore dough. I got blinded in my left eye during dat Dragon Attack." He wipes the dust off his clothes and then looks back up at you, "So, your here to see de Vitch vith me, ja?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
((Heck's little brother had a speech impediment and a stutter when he was little, and called Heck Dekhan because of it, sometimes Heck still thinks of himself that way to remind him of the little brother he left behind. OOC deception24))
Don't get all riled up, LC, I was just hackin on ya. Heck looks at the door in thought. You prone to narcolepsy, Hans, or is this a first time? Heck puts one hand on his gun and motions to Vito and Dobbs to be on alert and looks at the door.
((Check Failed, but nice roll. The "Lost Mine of Phandelver (2019)" was one of the PBP I looked at to find out how this whole thing worked, Mister Dekhan))
"If I'm being completely honest," the Dwarf shakes his head, "it might just be me getting old. It is de first time I've fallen asleep before getting home, but I have had trouble staying avake for de last month or so. You don't dink dat it might be some funny business, do you? I can't imagine anyone here dat vould mean me ill."

Heck will take a look at Bill and try to decide if he's bluffing or not. insight 20 Four Fours, buddy boys.

Heck lights his cigar and blows a contented smoke ring How many fours did I say again? he smiles at bill I can't quite recall.
Bill looks confused, "Four, did ya not? I ain't sure I know what ya mean by that."
((Seriously, I have no clue. Throw the DM a bone here))
Sorry, Heck is just trying to throw Bill off his concentration, keep him guessing.
((it's working!))
((lol))
((Heck and Eugene should probably tell Vito if they want anything from the General Store soon. I'm planning on moving the plot to 10pm in-game if it isn't already by Sunday 9pm Eastern Time))
((Heck is good on the general store items, he burned through his cash pretty fast buying that chain shirt...))

Centaurs? They give me the willies something fierce. Are you a horse or an hombre, make up your damn mind.
