Szeth_Pancakes Posted May 16, 2023 Report Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) I’ll sign up as Randen, a card shar(k/p) and ordinary bodyguard who really hates being confused for a certain Elantrian on the other side of Sel.

JNV Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 Lieutenant Jiang Zhangrong saluted the Captain and turned to face their fellow soldiers. So many were better suited for the pen than the sword, and some seemed a little... undedicated to the cause. They would never accuse someone of treachery without convincing evidence, but some soldiers clung to the ideals of other factions. Any one of them could be the killer. Not even those who seemed most loyal could be truly trusted. Zhangrong had broken bread with these soldiers. They had lived around these soldiers for a long time. Disloyalty had not been a shadow in the back of the mind. Until now. Until the ambassador lay dead despite, and perhaps because of, the actions of the guard. They would do what they could. They would do what they must. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with duplication of every other role, heads-up to anyone else considering the Lieutenant Background that for vague reasons of some sensemaking, I'm considering this Background taken now.

Szeth_Pancakes Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 “Anyone up for a game of Imperial lidan?” Randen asked nervously. He needed something to take his mind off the ambassador’s death. It was unsettling to think that there were traitors among them, and even more unsettling to speculate on which of his friends; his colleagues; the people he’d laughed with all these years; could be a murderer and a defector. Tentative rules (basically just rummy with flavor) Spoiler Four suits: swords, flowers, cups, and stamps Ten cards in each suit, numbered one to ten Two Dor cards (Usually played with multiple decks, so you don’t have to worry about duplicate cards when using RNG) You can play sets of three or more cards of the same number (6 6 6 6, e.g.) …or runs of three or more cards in the same suit, numbered consecutively (7 8 9 10, e.g.) You can also add on to already-played runs and sets. If the Dor card is played, the playing field is wiped clean — all played runs and sets are discarded. Each player is dealt ten cards at the beginning of the game. On their turn, they may play as many cards as they wish OR draw a card from the deck. The player who gets rid of their cards first is the winner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
