OOC: breaking his sword arm, was brilliant
Chye shakes his fist and points at Li Mu: *penetrating voice*
"Li Mu, if you do not stop bothering those vendors and shopkeepers, Sakemoko-sama will send us to hunt you, sooner or later. You should quit while you're ahead, and find another path. Try to live honorably!"

"I am Jin the killer," Jin rises, fists clenched. "I came to spend my hard-earned coin eating, drinking, and gambling, but I always have time to teach lessons to fools who don't know how to pick targets."

He turns to the oddsmen. "Take my winnings and buy drinks for everybody until the coin runs out. Courtesy of the fool Li Mu."

The crowd cheers and drinks flow. You can see the two sets of stairs that lead to the mezzanine level.

Chye watches Li Mu leave, and when he has gone, he cashes his slip in for his silver.
OOC: how much did win back from my $60 bet?

Once Li Mu and his remaining companion are out of sight, Chou-Zhen with gently lower himself until his feet are bearing his weight, then resume his seat and finish his meal.  He notices his mug of ale is nearly empty -- too far down to reach with a finger -- and picks it up to finish off the contents, then holds the mug for a moment, before giving a slight shake of his head and slowly setting it back on the table.

To no one in particular, "It was worth two francs to see the look on that tough's face when I accused him of throwing the game.  And watching the one with the amulet run away was priceless!"

"We need to cause trouble. Not so much that we're attacked out right, but so they throw us out in a way that allows us to drag our heels and prolong the conflict. Something loud."

"We could. We have people drinking. Best is to convince others to start it for us. Subtle. Are any of you skilled at trickery, at convincing one man that another said his wife was a cow?"

18:48, Today: Chye Isuel rolled 8 using 3d6.  perception - 12.
Chye grins, scanning the crowds for someone worthy of his contempt....(criminals/wicked men)
"I tell him he say, his mother is a whore, and they eat pagpag (trash food) for his dinner! Ho ho ho.."
OOC: how about with a carousing roll I approach one group, and with a bard roll, I start the rumor going against the other target?

"Knowing what words to say is more important. Reading the room. Figuring out who is most likely to lash out, and who has the most friends ready to defend them. Unfortunately, all I am good at is hitting people."

Ales walks around, acting as if he is looking for the bathroom.  He is really just trying to find out what Jinn and Chou have cooked up.

"Oh, I wouldn't say he's nobody -- he's just not important to you until he's either a subordinate, and ally, or an enemy.  I think it's safe to say he'll be important in some way -- assuming he's actually descended of a dragon, as he says he is, he practically can't help being.

"I've never seen an actual dragon..."
  Chou-Zhen's voice trails off, and he seems to be looking into the middle distance of the sky.

Chye has spotted a fellow who had bet on Li Mu and lost, and has been glaring accross the room at a man who had bet on Jin, and then laughed at him. He looks anout to start something...

Chye approached the sore loser, and says: "Hoi!

Nē, kare wa anata no okāsan wa baishunpuda to itte, anata wa yūshoku no tame ni gomi o taberu!

[Private to GM: Hey! He said your mother is a whore, and you'll eat garbage tonight for your dinner!] He gestured subtly at the man across the room, as he speaks...

"You think that matters?" Jin laughed. "It does, but not for the reason you think. So he is half dragon. So what? His heritage is as meaningless as yours or mine. Half dragon, half god, half demon, half wit. It's all the same. Deeds, Chou. Deeds make the measure of the man. And if you're a thug like me tasked with babysitting, or an enthusiastic child with no responsibilities wandering life aimlessly like Chye, or a wizard who thinks that making a whip is a good use of cosmic power, it all boils down to the same thing. We will accomplish nothing. Our names will be forgotten long before we're dust.

"And being told you're special... half dragon, half monster, brilliant, strong... all that means is that you never learn how to earn it. Sooner or later, the mediocre ones who had to bust their asses with no special advantage will surpass us. Because they know how to work for it better. And that's all destiny is, Chou. Hard work."
