[Event for all] Festivities for the New Year JY 2602 - EVENTS

Lamil O’Reier se frottait les mains. L’idée de ces festivités organisées pour la nouvelle année 2602 était prometteuse.

Prochainement installé à quelques mètres du camp de dressage des Trafiquants des Ombres, le propre campement de la Confrérie du Gubani Fortuné serait bientôt prêt à accueillir les homins et homines de tout horizon, venant dépenser leurs bons dappers dans l’espoir insensé d’acquérir un zig ou une monture gubani.

Ou même le tout dernier zig frippo, dont la démonstration allait, il en était sûr, attiser la convoitise des plus sages homins. Ils rivaliseraient tous pour être les premiers à le posséder et se jetteraient comme des varinx affamés sur les quelques lots de jetons mis en vente à l’occasion des enchères, qui seraient le point d’orgue de la cérémonie d’ouverture des festivités.

Bien sûr, d’autres jeux attendraient ensuite les homins, accessibles au plus grand nombre, et par lesquels les homins pourraient espérer obtenir des jetons contre des dappers… Quelques jetons pour les homins, beaucoup de dappers pour la Confrérie.

Et si cela marchait bien, il se voyait bien réitérer l’opération l’année suivante.

Lamil O’Reier sourit rêveusement à cette perspective.

Des bruits de pas le sortirent de sa rêverie : Mirkly O'Yrroy venait d'entrer dans le bureau, un rouleau à la main.

Lamil O'Reier : Alors ces affiches, elles sont prêtes ?
Mirkly O'Yrroy : Oui, les équipes sont déjà en train de se préparer pour faire l'affichage dans les capitales.
Lamil O'Reier : Parfait !

As expected by Lamil O’Reier, a large number of homins had come.

Dozens of homins had gathered at the Shadow Runners taming camp, some in front of the gleaming rooms of the Three Barrels Game, others clustered in front of the enclosure of the brand new frippo zig.

So all that looked particularly good, the dappers were going to flow, that was for sure!

Lamil O'Reier had let them wait a little, to raise the effect of his entrance, then finally he stepped in front of the impatient crowd to announce the festivities programme.

First of all, he presented the brand new Frippo zig, then the games that would be on offer to win tokens: the traditional dice game but, above all, their very latest creation: the "Three Barrels Game".

Finally, saving the best for last, he announced auctions for several lots of tokens: 200 fine tokens, 100 choice tokens, and an extremely rare lot of 5 excellent tokens.

Then he left the floor to the auctioneer, Mirkly O'Yrroy, who immediately began the auction.

Between each lot, in order to make gamblers wait during the inevitable verification of the dappers given by the winner of the auction, Blathwick Mac'Wirrel, the accountant of the Brotherhood of the Fortunate Gubani, invited homins to a small dice game with nothing less than choice tokens as a reward, or even excellent for the luckiest ones.

Everything was going well when suddenly, an explosion occurred, in the area of the Three Barrels Game. An explosion... far stronger than the fun little "BOOM" planned by the organizers.

Rushing to the scene, the cashier could only make a terrible observation: all the present tokens had been destroyed or severely damaged.

It didn't prevent the auctions from going on, returning during this evening not less than 110 millions dappers to the Brotherhood of the Fortunate Gubani.

Of course this impressive amount had filled Lamil O’Reier with joy, but his enthusiasm was cooled down by the need to close the Three Barrels Game stands. The more modest gamblers had no more way to spend their precious dappers during this festivities, which was an intolerable loss of incoming and a damaging blow to the Brotherhood of the Fortunate Gubani reputation.

As the manufacturing process of the tokens was complex and expensive, to avoid any counterfeiting, he would have to spend an exorbitant sum to have new ones produced quickly, and, in any case he could never provided the Three Barrels Game before the end of the festivities.

And then there was the question of that explosion. Simple accident due to wrong dosage?

Or was it sabotage?
