[The reaction is a bit more than he'd have expected from her, but it earns a warmer look from Twisted Fate. He smiles faintly, shaking his head.] The older meaning was "trickster", something I could live with. But that's not the intent of the word these days. I'm not exactly a typical Dalish, I suppose. Still, I appreciate that.

[But onward to card games. Something he enjoys immensely.]

Good. That is a good way to remember it.

Now then: let's talk about winning conditions. An important thing to remember is that the game of Wicked Grace is over when the Angel of Death card is drawn. [He turns the card over to show to her.] Players will reveal their hands and decide who has won at that point, no matter what.

So there are a few ways to ensure your victory. The person who has the most cards of highest rank will win. For example, if I had two knights and three daggers, but you had two daggers and three snakes, then my hand would be better. If you had two angels and two daggers while I had two songs and two knights, you would most certainly win. You could theoretically... hold onto the Angel of Death card until you felt you had a strong hand, but that isn't exactly playing by the rules. [He winks.]
