It's a high stakes game of cards on Ihn Gallad between Yeong Eode, Antine, and Syl of the Dual-Walkers. The game takes a sudden turn when one of them antes The Ythol Annulus. Now it's a game with deadly consequences if it falls into the wrong hands.
Antine: "I don't have enough money left to ante. Would it be alright if I bet this old thing?"
Syl and Yeong Eode's eyes grow wide, and they share a glance.
Syl: "Yes, little fox. I believe that will do nicely."

Nasperge does an Aubedore reading for Chardis of the Dual-Walkers in the "Crossroads" pattern.
For the corners, he draws the Endless Maze (inverted), the Wolf, the Shadows, and the Archer (inverted).
For the spokes, he draws the Wanderer (inverted), the Crow, the Flag, and the Fish.
At the Crossroads, he lays the Dragon (inverted) vertically as the destination, under the fate card of the Dreamer (inverted), which is horizontal.
Chardis of the Dual-Walkers accuses him of stacking the deck.
In other words, Chardis, if you think you're escaping a certain dragon-who-doesn't-want-to-be-a-dragon, you're dreaming!

Sri Hara attempts to explain cheese to Larasa Farleth, but just creates a massive misunderstanding in the process.
The fact that this story does not yet exist is a crime against humanity and, uh, pachydermity, alike.

Elphimas attempts to explain how to pronounce "Antine" to Dorn, but Dorn just won't listen.
Elphimas: "No, no, it is pronounced 'Ann tine,' as in rhyming with 'nine' or 'wine.' Incidentally, it also rhymes with 'Penelophine.'"
Dorn: "I don't care, they're all a bunch of human-lovers anyway. Besides, an orc once told me it was pronounced 'Ann teen,' like rhyming with 'mean' or 'seen.' Of course, he also said that it rhymes with 'Penelophine...'"
