Introduction
The tension in the dimly lit room was nearly tangible as Arlo dealt a set of worn-out cards onto a makeshift table. He glanced around, his sharp blue eyes cutting through the smoke-filled air as he surveyed his present company - a diverse mix of Valoria's underground denizens, each more dangerous than the other.

How did I get myself into this? Arlo wondered to himself even as he went ahead dealing another round. But trudging along life's treacherous paths had taught him well; now wasn't the time for regrets but survival… and perhaps some thrill if luck favored him tonight.
