"Agreed. We should also tell the church about these hymnals that are not that holy as well..."

"Do you mean Felix, or the next in the book?"

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 897):

"Felix. This next guy we need to investigate first..."

Benny leans over to Felix, "Look, son, head on out of here.  And stop trusting weirdos in shops that don't really exist alright?  Looks to me like you you didn't do anything truly 'damnation' worthy, but you might want to sit down with your favorite priest anyway and see what they have to say.  The Gods are fickle."

In reply to Benny Morales (msg # 899):

"Not the printer-idiot. The other one, who uses devilty to cheat at cards- Alban, I think"

"Perhaps the church should know about both of them, but the cheat definitely needs to be investigated...by us."

"Oh, right.  Yes, we should let Father Robard know about the hymnals, but this Alban who's cutting into Lepkur's games is just plain greedy."

Norman gives Felix a shove toward the door and turns toward Mancini
"Where to now boss?"

In reply to Norman (msg # 903):

" Let's head over to the Wastrel's Hope  and deal with this lucky bastard."

In reply to Mancini (msg # 904):

"Please let him want to do things the hard way..." mutters Sederic as he heads out.

In reply to Sederic (msg # 905):

Aoife gives him a glance and gets ready to head out as well.

Benny digs a few coins out and makes two stacks of four coppers on the bar, he gives a wink and a nod to the bar tender (or waitress, whatever) that's he's been eyeballing.  It's clear he's paying double for his and Felix's drinks.

He gathers his shield and falls in with the group as they leave.



OOC:  Again, four being holy to Mercury...

Ardenas joins up with the group as well, trying to recall where the Wastrel's Hope is (or whether he's been there).

"The Wastrel's Hope is loosely affiliated with Vilgar, as Castile handles some of the provisioning.  Sadly, the barkeep JeanPaul brews his own beer.
the place is just a few blocks past the street collapse in Redlight, probably a 15 minute walk."

In reply to Mancini (msg # 909):

"Right. That is where this super lucky guy is? Please lead the way..."

In reply to Aoife (msg # 910):

the Wastrel's hope is a dive bar that smells of stale ale and is filled with a lunchtime crowd of laborers and gamblers.
The barkeep is a large rough looking man with an unkempt reddish beard.

In reply to JeanPaul (msg # 911):

"Barkeep, do you know of some super lucky gambler robbing the rest of your clients by unnaturally good luck?"

In reply to Sederic (msg # 912):

"You mean Alban? He ain't so lucky. Hardly anyone will play with him."

In reply to JeanPaul (msg # 913):

"Serves him right. Where can we find him?"

"Heh, there may not be much left to do here, other than spread the word.  Feels great to never lose, until people find out you never lose."

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 915):

the barkeep thumbs toward thedoor behind the common room.
"That sorry bastard is back that way,."

"Ardenas, there is still plenty for us, a man's fate is in jeopardy.  If we can steer him back onto the correct path, is it not in his and our interests?  As well, he may carry a talisman that grant's him these abilities, one which would be twisted and evil knowing the source."

"Yes, so it might be -- and this one likely is not just an extra bouncy ball.
Then again, Du Fontaine had no talisman, in his case, it was just his voice."

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 918):

"Barkeep, is there a back way out of there?"

In reply to Mancini (msg # 919):

Sederic will move to the back entrance to block it, once the barkeep indicates where it is.
