The room was constantly bustling with activity.
The attention of the beggars was completely absorbed in the gambling game.
The arrival of Dark and myself went unnoticed by anyone.
Eldric led Dark and me to a vantage point not far off, where we observed the lively scene.
Do not be deceived by the fact that it was a group of beggars;
They were all individuals of standing within their community.
The bets placed were considerable,
most reaching into the thousands.
As the current round concluded,
the beggar chief cradled a bowl in his hands,
his thumbs pressing down on the lid.
He began to shake it vigorously,
his lips moving with incantations.
“Wager large to win large; even beggars wear golden coats!”
With that, he placed the bowl on the table.
The beggars erupted into loud shouts of “Big, small!”
Yet my gaze remained fixed on the dice within the bowl.
When the lid was lifted, the dice revealed numbers: 3, 5, and 6.
