An hour later, I finally arrived at my destination.
The Fool's Fortune
The largest gambling house in town—and judging by the noise leaking out of it, also the loudest mistake anyone could make with their life savings.
Getting here had been a journey on its own. I'd asked a few NPCs for directions, and every single one of them had lied with the confidence of a seasoned scammer. One pointed left when the place was clearly right. Another told me it was "just past the river" when there wasn't a river anywhere within a mile. One old man even charged me ten GP just to confidently send me in the wrong direction.
So I did the only logical thing.
I went the exact opposite of everything they said.
And here I was.
I pushed the door open.
The noise hit me like a slap.
The gambling house was loud—painfully loud. Coins clinked, cards slapped against tables, chairs scraped across the floor, and voices overlapped in pure chaos.
