    Dominic looked over at Kristopher with a hint of surprise. He had been thinking a shit ton of gold would be a right good payment, but the man made a good point. It also started to feel like they were arguing the same side, so maybe he would take the backup. "In other words, we are going to...

    By now Dominic realized his own drink was empty, shame, he would have preferred a drink with this conversation. This girl was reckless, normally that would get you killed in this city, but the rich had a way of surviving on dumb luck. "No benefit to givin' ya an answer besides your pretty face...

    The Syzygy State of Emergency

    Dominic glared at the guards, protectively casting his gaze around the barbershop making sure nothing was destroyed. "Aye, I got a nose too, but mine smells bullshit and you lot are covered in it." The people laid up in these cots looked exactly as Bradek had described, most of them looked...

    Dominic raised an eyebrow at Kristopher, before turning back to Gracia. The man seemed to know something about what was going on, or he was worried about something else. As for the merchant, he could count the number of sellers like that on one hand, so he could certainly find the right one...

    Dominic heard this as he was reaching out to bring in his pile of coins, but stopped halfway as most of the air at their little table was sucked away at the tension. Most of these men knew that knowing things was powerful, but it could also be dangerous. A large furred hand slammed down on the...

    The final card on the river was played and Dominic grinned at his luck but chose to call. He revealed his hand. The last card had provided him with a pretty strong hand, not the best, but certainly good. "Well Klaus, it looks like you won't be winning your money back today." Turning his...

    Dominic could only nod in agreement with Kristopher's take on Vel Anir. At least here people used daggers, small blades felt safer. Getting speared through with some lance would be far more uncomfortable. Dom's own pair of cards was not bad, but not great. It would all come down to the river...

    The Syzygy State of Emergency

    No matter how hard this city tried to shut itself down. It could not stop curious eyes from looking out of windows. It could not stop the speed of a whisper or the brave young runners that would risk their next for a coin to pay for a morsel of food. That was how the Jungle's information network...

    Dominic placed his cards face down on the table. There was no reason to look if he remembered what they were. He dispensed the minimum amount of coin to continue into the pile while focusing back in on Gracia and taking a moment to glance at Kristopher when he spoke. "Names Dominic. No fancy...

    Dominic happily took his seat and his drink and down half of it with the first sip. Sitting deeper into the chair while releasing a sigh of pleasure, still not looking at his cards yet. Instead, he took the time to look closely at each player's face. Looking a little longer at Gracia, he spoke...

    Dominic did not really care for any of the people at the table, all that mattered was that they were open purses ripe for the plucking. Klaus was one of those men who would bluster about until immediately shriveling up when he came in contact with anyone bigger than him. A cold smile spread on...

    Dominic hated the inner city. He hated being a circus act to most of these people as their eyes could not help but follow him about whenever he visited. His towering bulk and strange appearance made him the perfect candidate for whispers from adults and pointing fingers from children. None of...

    The Syzygy State of Emergency

    The situation down at the docks was much to what Dominic had been expecting. It was serving as the frontline for this sudden war, so there was nothing much he could do. Too many soldiers roamed about, and anyone that could be snatched up there for labor or fighting was. As for his ships, he...

    The Syzygy State of Emergency

    "They've got 'em all boss. All our ships have been conscripted. Ain't nothing moving in or out of port." Dominic grunted in acknowledgment of the report while the young beastkin struggled to keep up with the Otternali's quick strides. He was heading down to take a look at the docks. He wasn't...

    Dominic smirked at the man's superstitions. The large otternalli had never been one for superstitions. His tribe had been extremely cautious of such things, but he had found them dumb then and he found them dumb now. The pants you were wearing weren't going to stop Dom from knocking you out...
