"Place your bets! Rules are: Single deck, you can split on any same pair, and dealer hits on soft 17! Place your bets!" Sorrow's hand: 8,7 Dealer: 10,? Lycan, if you want to play, just join in. Just like Vegas. You all know how to play Blackjack I assume?

I can remember Monk Pretzel's words now back in Quest 24. C'mon Pretzel, start raving about all the wrong doings!

"Sadly no. We couldn't even get past the door. But when we were disguised as Rogue Lion knights, the guards said no rogues were working with them. But we also said we were heroes from Heroica, and they still wouldn't let us past. They were hiding something, I know it."

A familiar man from the market enters the tavern. He completely ignores Lycan and goes straight to Sorrow and Benji. "Familiar faces. Heroes, come take a seat. We have things to discuss do we not? Let's get to business. 50 gold to know all about politics, nature, or history. Alternately, I could explain all three, for 50 gold, but they won't be in-depth. Do you prefer anything?"

"Er... you'll have to ask her. What would you like? I got mead, potions, etc." "I'm Patricia." "My names Lucy. I'm Patricia's friend. I don't have good luck. Mind playing cards for me? My friend tells me you need help getting into the tower. If you win me some money, I'll get ya in."

Surprise. Thanks for playing. I'll get your stats soon. Hopefully you actually get the subtle clues. "Oooh. Who's this handsome rogue?"

The replacement person has been chosen. If you did not recieve the PM, you weren't chosen. Sorry.

Torches illuminate the tavern. You spot separate tables and a man by a shelf full of drinks and the sort. You see coins on the bar and wonder what sort of games are being played. Also, standing in the dark corner, is someone familiar from Heroica Hall. What was he doing here? Drake Flamerobe/xxlrocka, freaked out, runs away. He has returned to the hall. "Hey. Welcome to The Rogues Corner. What can I get you? Or are you up to some Blackjack?"

"Sure you can meet my friends." You travel into the woods. After looking for a few hours, you get a perfect vantage point of the tower. In the dark, no one could possibly spot you. Also, there's more than enough material to make a few decent siege engines.

Do you wait a few hours for night to go into the tavern?

I couldn't choose who you preferred. (Dak right?) He didn't sign up. But I chose someone after PM, bribery and blackmail some discussion. Also because people over level 10 are too complicated.

"Greetings." Alexandre nods. "Skrall. I think we're the only ones left sane in our party. Arthur, Luke, and Knyghton have strangely fallen asleep." "Yes, Roland is guilty. Arthur and I tried to ask him some questions, but we had to fight off 3 waves of guards and retreat."

Now what to do? The original person picked showed up, but after 2 days which was the time limit. And people already signed up to replace him. EDIT: xxlrocka, if you don't post by the time the party gets to the tavern, you're out.

"I don't know about the tower. And no, I'm not noble, I was raised from a poor family... I'll be indebted to you if you teach those guards a lesson, my valiant knight." "You know what, maybe I could help you get into the tower. I have friends at the tavern who could help." QM Note: You could always explore the forest maybe? I'm sure you could find some raw material there. Game time- 3:30.

Good job Endgame, in game time, it's only been a few hours, and you're already making a reputation for yourself.

"No I'm not alright! I was just assaulted by undeserving authority and embarrassed by an undead freak! I'm gonna kick you!" The woman kicks Sorrow. She then turns to the guards. "And I'm going to tell your wife!" "Ummm... uh-oh."

Being more specific, the guards threw her into the middle of the street, and she starts to run away.

"Rebellion getting somewhere? I thought we were enemies." "Anyways, I assume you have a secret lair? Full of sharks?"

I'll quote a few at the end of the quest.

QM Note: Game time, it's around 2 o'clock. So if you want to waste 6 hours, that's okay. Realistically, you could explore anywhere on the map, go back to recent places, talk to people you didn't meet. It's your freedom.

Ohh.. The guy who you think is being mugged is actually the one holding the knife. They're just 2 thugs guarding the tower. EDIT: FYI the new quest person will be joining us soon. So don't be surprised if a person randomly posts in the thread.

QM Note: What?

I try to give subtle clues to help you on what to do. I just gave you, like 3 most blatantly obvious ones in the entire quest. I just want to shrivel up and die.

The two Charis guards start to drag the woman away. "Sorry about that, tourists. The women in this country are always up to no good." Updated map. You see that there are more guards/bandits patrolling the other side of the wall.

Umm... I can't really say, as I don't know what Sandy has layed out for Charis. "We have many princesses. Charis is divided by barons and nobles and what not. " The woman starts getting closer to you. "I kinda like you little undead thing."
