Coming Out On Top

In Er Salem, the largest settlement in the Firelands, in the bar known as Dreidel, when a traveller came through the curtains, everyone remained focused on their conversations, games, or prostitutes, rather than stop and stare as in the old stories.

The traveller approached the bar.

“Water.”

The bartender served it quickly. “5 tokens, or double or nothing.” the bartender offered, holding up a squared top. The traveller, seemingly confused, nodded.

“House always takes table…” the bartender said as he span. The traveller stared as the top landed on the (apparent) drawing of a table.

And then it moved again.
