I talk to the barkeep, showing the Pass to him, and he asks the bouncer Chain to open the way in.
I head downstairs where there are three games up for playing, one of them, Monster Shooting makes a nod to the movie Speed. Roulette and Slime Busters are the other three. I head to the Slime Busters game at the end of the room.
Get on with it, game clerk, and don't judge someone by the "adrenaline oozing out of their pores!"
I listen to the rules first, it's basically a Slime hitting game, and I have to hit a set number of them per round for 30 seconds.
The anti-cheating PSA on one of the posters sounds pretty deceiving.
I have three rounds at the Slime Mashers, and head into the Monster Shooting gmae.
"Deepest condolences," my ass!
I try my hand at the Wheel of Fortune Roulette after trying thrice at the Slime Mashers again.
I read the rules of Roulette twice before diving in.
I count the number of colors on the "wheel." There's 1/16 chance if I hit black, and 5/16 chance for everything else...
This is the Wheel of Hell...
I manage to win one round at the Wheel, which is 15 gilders.
I go back up to the bar, where the pirate offers Alundra a drink. I accept and it restores my health. The aftereffects are pretty hilarious, though, as Alundra dashes randomly around a chair, eventually hitting the wall, knocking himself out.
Out of wanting to get some more stuff after reading the map for the pub here, I go back into Slime Mashing.
After five rounds of painful Slime Mashing, I win 480 gilders and a Life Vessel!!!
My health is now at 36!!!
After all of that "edgy" fun, I stop here!
