=== Gambling in Semos Tavern ===

; Participants

: <npc>Ricardo</npc>, he runs the gambling table

; Location

: [[Semos]] in the Inn at the table

; Stake

: <item>money|100 money</item>

; Short introduction

: Nice prizes wait for you in the [[Semos]] Tavern when you visit <npc>Ricardo</npc> there. He is the only person in [[Semos]] who is licensed to offer gambling activities. That is why you can of course trust him while playing on his table. If you are a gambler and curious about how lucky you can be, try that little game out and you will maybe win lots of useful items.

; Rules

: The '''rules''' are simple: just tell <npc>Ricardo</npc> "play" when you want to try your luck, pay the stake (costs see above), and throw the dices on the table. The higher the sum of the upper faces is, the nicer will your prize be. If you want to relax while hanging around with some friends for example, that <item>dice|game</item> will be the right place for you.

=== Wishing well ===

; Participants

: There are neither other players nor other NPCs involved, just the <item>lucky charm|fortune</item> of the challengers

; Location

: Wishing wells are positioned all over the huge world of [[StendhalAtlas|Faiumoni]]. Look out for the coloured sparkles on stone wells.

; Stake

: <item>money|30 money</item> per wish

; Short introduction

: Quoted from [http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wishing_well wikipedia.org]:

<blockquote>

<div>

''A wishing well is a term from European folklore to describe wells where it was thought that any spoken wish would be granted. The idea that a wish would be granted came from the idea that water housed deities or had been placed there as a gift from the gods, since water was a source of life and often a scarce commodity. (...)''

</div>

</blockquote>

: As you can read here, the story of wishing wells goes back to a time in which mystical legends and strong belief in magical things took place. The habit of throwing money into wells is still popular in our times. That is why some people think about some wishes before throwing some <item>money</item> into the water. Although you can not speak your wishes out to the well here, you can be very lucky and find some nice items which you can use later on your huntings and adventures.

; Rules

: The only rule you have to follow is: stay patient while doing a wish in front of a well... It needs some seconds to find out, if you were lucky and found something useful or if you weren't successful this time. And here is a little hint for you: As though it is a game about fortune, you will have better chances for gaining some items from the well when you own a positive karma or a <item>lucky charm</item> or at least both...

; Prizes

: There are lots of items which you can find while doing wishes to the well. Possible items which you can get are:

: <item>money</item>

: <item>potion</item>

: <item>antidote</item>

: <item>greater potion</item>

: <item>wood</item>

: <item>present</item>

: <item>cherry</item>

: <item>sandwich</item>

: <item>horned golden helmet</item>

: <item>dark dagger</item>

She was missing for two years and there was no party during that time - all of [[Ados]] searched for her.

: In case you don't know the story, in 2006 <npc>Susi</npc> was captured on her way back from the Semos Mine Town revival party. She was missing for two years and there was no party during that time - all of [[Ados]] searched for her.
