Chi Dee's Gaming House

The gaming house is at the corner of two small streets. Drunken patrons are laughing as the enter, silent as they leave. The place is one story, broad and plain. There is a service entrance onto one street and the main entrance at the corner.

Chi-Dee seems to like half-orcs. Two very burly guards hover near the service entrance. Up front, two more stand on either side of the door. A young well dressed human greets guests while a rather begraggled looking halfling opens the door for them.

You have all gathered in an alley a little ways down. Malder and two of his men stand beside you. Malder is all smiles again. "I been here a couple a' times. 's an old warehouse. Mostly one big open room. Long bar along the west side and the tables in the open space. There's a big platform in tha center where they have fights." He scratches his nose ad then points at the back. "I think there's offices in back. I never been back that way though." He nods at the half orcs, "Those guys are the killer though. They all hail from the Bent Tusk tribe. Supposedly Chi-Dee talked 'em inta coming over to his side. The one in charge is Vyrx. He's a piece a' work."

"Hmmmm," Tarrov said as he digested Malder's intelligence, watching the entrance the the gaming house and tapping his fingers in staccato fashion on the arm of his fine doublet.  "Interesting.  His own private half-orc army.  Nice to have when you can get it.  But half-orcs generally aren't the brightest torches in the sconce.  Maybe we can use that to our advantage."

Tarrov turned back to Malder.  "We want to identify this boy and get him out in whatever way we feel will work best.  I'd probably prefer to just spirit him away, if the opportunity presents itself, but if we have to have a knock-down drag-out I suppose that will do too.  We've got the drop on them presently, so we need to make that work to our advantage."

The bard glanced back at the casino.  "Any idea how many guards are on duty at once?  And do the off-duty guards stay here, or do they live other places in the city and only come in to work?  I'd prefer the latter.  If the former, we could have the whole tribe on us if the alarm is raised."

"It looks like it might be time for another reconnaissance mission."  He looked around at the others.  "Any ideas?"

"By the by, Malder," Tarrov said, as if just struck with a thought.  "What is it that Kindness did to you or yours?  You seem very eager to bring him down, and I doubt that eagerness is inspired by a simple desire to remove a blight from the city.  Am I right?"

Malder glances at the bard and then back at the gaming house. "Nothing direct. I believe in Verick. Or I suppose I should say, I let Verick talk me inta joinin' his little walkout. So now me an' tha boys either hand with him or hang with him. If ya catch my meanin'."

He stabs a finger at the gaming house. "From what I can recollect, there's at least six of 'em inside. These ones outside. The dealers at the tables supposed to be armed too. But I never seen 'em carrying. I know Chi-Dee keeps at least two of tha halfers nearby at all times. " He shrugs. "Best I can tell ya boss."

Selvin listened and frowned. That many half-orcs from a tribe sounded like bad news. "I think a fight would be a bad idea unless we could narrow things down. Straight up, 6 inside plus 2 outside would be bad numbers for us if these guys are as good as Malder thinks." He gave a shrug. "I think Tarrov should go inside as a gambler and scope the place out maybe?"

"I'd agree with that as long as he is agreeable," he nods in reply and looks to Tarrov.

Selvin gave a shrug. "Or I can go instead if you don't want to, Tarrov. I don't gamble much but..." He gave another shrug.

Tarrov gave Malder a sour look.  "So, eight half-orcs, plus an indeterminate number of possibly-armed dealers.  Those aren't the best odds.  Although we do have the element of surprise, and if we can take these half-orcs outside by themselves and deal with the others piecemeal that makes the task much easier."

Tarrov nodded at Selvin's suggestion.  "I'd be happy to go in and scout around."  He grinned.  "I think I can play the part of a gambler with money to lose.  That said, it would be nice if we had a female companion who could go in with me and keep her eyes peeled while I was at the tables."  Arms crossed, he tapped his fingers again, this time on the sleeve of his jacket, lost in thought.

The bard straightened, as if he had made a decision.  He looked around at his companions.  "Just so.  I'm heading inside, then.  Would anyone like to join me?"

OOC:  Tarrov heads in to scout the gaming establishment with anyone else who wants to come along.
