The other poor saps never even had a chance. They all had the same depressed look about them; the distinctly defeated scowl on their grizzly faces, their fat lips curving downwards in a deep frown as they looked over their cards just one more time. Each one of them had a very small stack of betting tokens in front of him, a stack that had started the night as a large show of wealth and now had dwindled donw to nothing short of poverty. It seemed that nothing could go their way that evening, and the best part was, none of them suspected that a thing might be out of order. They were all superstitious men, as most men in this town were, and simply assumed that Lady Luck did not have their best interests at heart today.

Dean, however, knew better. Stacking this deck of cheap cards in his favor was all too easy, and with a smile, he laid down yet another full house on the table. The other men grumbled, tossing him several coins apiece as they laid down pairs of threes or three-of-a-kind eights. Of course, Dean wasn’t at all surprised; he knew exactly what had been dealt to each player, and exactly what he needed to deal to himself to beat it. With a sarcastic sigh of sympathy, he gladly scooped up the betting tokens and smiled inwardly. He watched as each of the men took sips from their stiff ales, their shots of liquor, or their clear distilled spirits. Each one was fairly drunk by now, which of course, only meant more cash for Dean.

Tonight was a good night.

Captain InSaNo was bord he needed something to entertain him. Everybody is sleeping so there is no fun in the streets for InSaNo. Then he seen one light on. Then InSaNo was intrested he followed to where the light was comming from. Took a deep breath then kicked in the door.

Everybody paused and stood up glaring at InSaNo."Hey hey hey... dont let me interrupt im just a simple passer byer" InSaNo mochingly said. Sarting to walk around the table. "This looks like a hardy little get to gether" said InSaNo as he was inspecting the room for some goods. "so what are a bunch of guys doing here in the middle of the night when its clearly past bed time... OOoo cards any chance i could join" InSaNo figured with all chips on one side of the table that this might be a rigged game so his count might blow off whatever he was doing to make him win.
