Ersken gathered the dice, put them in the cup they had used for play, and tucked it inside one bound Rat's shirt.Let that be a lesson to you not to gamble, he told the Rat soberly. The trickster asks you pay for any luck you may have, one way or another. Bless the boy, he's a priest with it, one of the Goddess warriors said with a grin. After this, laddie, what's say I take you home and rub some of that off yez?Ersken actually winked at her! Forgive me, gracious warrior, but my woman would turn me into something unnatural if I took you up on your kind offer, he replied as if he truly regretted it. She's a mage and I'd best stay devoted.
