Feldspar Jones – A Fool’s Gamble: Death or Fortune .

Within the walls of the broken goblet, a table has been laid out for a feast; a feast that still remains largely untouched. Behind the table of foods and drinks sits an unarmed man with piercing eyes, waiting for someone to sit down, for the promised drink, and to hear his bargain, his proposition, his gamble of death and fortune… only to watch them stand up and leave.

But the man continues to greet new faces and inviting them for a drink…

A man in stylish leather armor walks through the door. gives a look around. He takes the steps into the smoke filled room, and looks around at the table set up with all the food. After examing all that there is to offer, his eyes meet the man sitting alone.

"Ey there pal, ya need help eaten some of this? *he says with a smirk* Sure a depressin sight to see ya sittin'ere, all alone, wit all this food..."

[Simian]

[ The man begins to pour the chap in leather armour a cup of wine, and encourages him to sit down... ]

If you wish to take part on the feast presented here, I believe I would want hear who you are, and what you do, or even possibly who you know...

[ He hands down the cup. ]

For I am looking for a ship, a crew and a captain.

Alec grins as the glass is poured, and he moves forward and takes up the glass, bringing it to his nose to smell it, and then he makes his way to his seat, choosing the one on the other end of the table, facing Feldspar.

"Thank ya kindly, mate. *he sips the wine* As fer who I be, well... I am just a humble merchant who saw chance to earn alittle extra gold wit alittle gamblin. Names Alec Snyder. *he sips on the wine again*

As fer who I know... Well I know lot's of folks, though round'ere, not so many. Just startin out ye see. Sure would like to get know more folks though, hehe. Connections make fer good buisness. *he looks over the food now, his eyes setting on any checkin or potatoes on the table, then he looks back to Feldspar* So who ye be mister?"

[Simian]

My name, is, Feldspar Jones. A name which is nothing more than a pleasant anagram for some level of personal safety in such a, lovely, locale as this. [ His face twists into a wry smile. ] Now as for this gamble I am proposing, it is one with truly peculiar outcomes... [ The man proceeds to pour himself a cup of wine, and he circles the cup under his nose before placing the cup back on to the table. ] ... Almost certain death against the odds of earning a fortune most people here cannot even fathom*. [ He measures Alec for a moment. ] Suffice to say, even a fraction of that fortune is enough to buy yourself a noble title, if one desires such cumbersome things...

* Fathom, a unit of length used to measure depths of water, also has the meaning of: come to understand.

A woman dressed in Black leather armor, Red cloak, and a rather lavish brown hat with a white black tipped feather in the Brim sits at alone at a table in the Crowded smokey halls of the Broken Goblet. A hand brushes through her Red hair formed into a ponytail as she watches Feldspar and Alec converse with Expressive silver blue eyes. A Devilish grin crosses her face as she slowly stands up and walks over to the table carrying with her a Bottle of Rum.

She stands behind an empty chair and tips her hat to both men.

"Gentlemen, Mind if'n I take a seat at your fine table?" She asks Politely and leans on the back of the chair she is behind waiting for a Reply.

[Simian]

[ Jones leans back on his chair and inspects the miss with a calculating stare. ] My friend, Alec, here is interested in a gamble, you wouldn't be up for a game cards, miss?

[TaminaLightstep]

[Besides noticing what she is wearing and her seemingly casual demeanor. Jones would notice she is Armed with Two Short swords which hang in sheaths attached to her belt at her hips. As well as a weathered and stained cloth wrapped tightly around her neck.]

She casually takes a seat in the Chair she was in and sets the Bottle of rum down on the table. Her Devilish Grin turning into a Flashy Smile.

"Cards? I'm a bit more for playin' Dice myself but I suppose'n a game of Cards couldn't hurt. People often say I'm rather lucky when it comes to Games of chance." She says looking from Jones to Alec. "An' speakin' of a Gamble, Mind sharin' what that Gamble might be?" She adds before taking a sip of the bottle of Rum she set down on the Table.

[Twisted]

Alec would smirk at the girl as she makes her wa to the table.

"Always be good to get some lasses fer company. *he looks back to Jones* An wit a fortune like that, the troubles gettin it surely must be ten times the amount of gold. *he picks some food from the center of the table, and loads his plate* How bout ye deal out some cards, an we can discuss the stakes in this game, eh?"

[Simian]

I am certain that you two can decide on stakes and rules of, your, gamble. [ He takes a small sip of his wine, frowns, and places it back on the table. ] Well, the table has already been paid for tonight, so I suppose you can just enjoy yourselves.

[ He leaves the two on their own devices, and opens up a map and begins to inspect it. ]
