"Wait, let us think first.

"Gamblers entering the casino must buy their tokens on the way in, and convert their winnings (or at least what they have not lost) back to true coin on their way out.  That function would not be down here, where they must pass through the casino before buying in and after buying out; it would be back up the stair by which we entered.  Perhaps on the floor above the dining room?"

Chye looks at the woman and speaks:
"Lady, where they keep money?"

In reply to Chye Isuel (msg # 509):

The woman, reaching for the stairs, turns and points through the double doors.

"Shen take coin from me in box, I give tile. Box go through doors, I not see."

Chye bows. "Thank you, lady. You go, and be safe if you have people to go to. If not, Chye help you, when we through here."

"So, the coin goes through these doors.  Forward, then."

La conclusió d'una incurrrrrrrsió!
Iskander exaggerated the "r" in the last word of his native Valdassyan, with a trilling roll.

In reply to Iskander (msg # 513):

Ahead and to the left is a red enameled iron door with brass fittings and a large knocker and a prominent lock.  Doen the hall is another red door. The floor is polished stone.

Chye, who is holding the keys, heads over to Iskander. He looks at him, and everyone else, and   the familiar broad, gold-toothed grin spreads across his scarred face slowly, as if allowing everyone watching him, to prepare themselves, because he is about to unlock that left door...

Iskander nods his approval, and readies both his weapons.

Chou-Zhen takes a place behind Iskander and Chye, lightning whip softly crackling in his left hand, leather whip hanging from his right.

Ales takes a spot behind Chou and readies his scimitar.

In reply to Ales Konstantin (msg # 518):

Within the room are three kneeling women before a long table; their ankles are chained. Accross from them is a woman with a tight expression, and odd markings on her forearms that seem to have movement to them.

On one end of the table is a large iron box with wheels. On the table are loops of copper, such as are used for threading strings of cash, and silken bags of differing colors. At the other end of the table is a larger iron chest, chained to the floor.

The woman with the marks on her arms is not surprised by your entrance, and immediately begins to shriek in a piercing voice.

Chye opens his mouth and hisses, flicking out his forked tongue at the marked woman, then he laughs. "Ho ho ho...The jig is up, Lady-san!"

15:22, Today: Iskander rolled 6 using 3d6 ((2,3,1)).(IQ - 13 roll, to suss out magic afoot)
Iskander regards the woman calmly, despite her screaming. He notices the strange marks on her arm, he suspects she is under a geas, of some kind..."Chye, wait..."

Chou-Zhen steps forward, into the room, and approaches the wheeled iron box to check if it is locked.

15:15, Today: Chye Isuel rolled 9 using 3d6 ((3,4,2)). (diplomacy - 13)
Chye calms the other women in chains, and assures them they'll be free to leave when he gets their chains off. "Shhh...everything is okay. We're not going to hurt you. We're from Sakemoko-sama, to punish your wicked master and carry out this raid. Let's get those chains off...Who she, your mistress?" Chye gestured at the shrieking woman, noting her lack of chains, and apparent hostility.

The woman has not tattoos, but hundreds of little birds eyes on her arms!

Fright checks at +1, spirit lore or demon lore anyone?

Chye is relatively unfazed. "Chye like to watch birds in country sometimes, but this lady is "The" birdwatcher-lady....or something, man."
Chye looks at Chou-Zhen Mou
"Demon?"

Chou-Zhen is unfazed by the recognition that the shrieking woman's arms are covered in birds' eyes.  He searches his memory for mention of such a creature.

[Private to GM: 06:40, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 11 using 3d6.  Fright Check (12 +1).
06:41, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 12 using 3d6.  Demon Lore (14).
Todomeki, the Hundreds of Eyes Demon?]

"She look cursed, to Chye...Cursed for stealing money,probably!"
Chye says, as he frees the prisoners.
"Bring her over, Chye put her in chains, and gag her, okay?"

In reply to Chye Isuel (msg # 528):

The hundred eyes demon is a woman cursed for stealing, but now a full demon.  Just the sort of person Akira No Aku would have overseeing his money counters.

Her fingers lengthen to talons, and a  bluish ball of flame forms in her palm...

18:05, Today: Iskander rolled 6 using 1d6+3.  hook sword, swing crushing damage.
18:02, Today: Iskander rolled 13 using 3d6.  broad sword - 16 (swing crush).
Iskander sees the sorcery begin, and lashes out, hoping to disrupt whatever was being cast.

18:20, Today: Chye Isuel rolled 13 using 2d6+4.  swing cutting to neck.
18:17, Today: Chye Isuel rolled 15 using 3d6.  hit location maneuver (swing to neck) - 15.
18:19, Today: Chye Isuel rolled 13 using 3d6.  fast draw (sword) 15+1.
Chye draws suddenly, and whips his naginata around in both hands, with his back into it, after locking eyes with the woman, all in a split second!
"Kiaiiiiiii!"

Chou-Zhen, seeing the ball of flame gathering in the todomeki's hand, flips his leather whip forward as he speaks a word and gestures with the hand holding his lightning whip.

[Private to GM: 05:00, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 13 using 3d6.  Counterspell, Fireball (14).  Success by 1 for Quick Contest.  Need to know FP cost (half of spell countered) if successful.]
