After defeating the Forgotten General (Great fight BTW, solid journey's end boss) decided it fit well with the color scheme of the abyss cores. Couldn't find a square shield to match sadly. I can't wait til they add the ability to dye two-handed weapons.
Using bright sky blue and grey dyes, and the enamel sort of material for the metal
I decided to test an idea I had, that the gamblers always cheat, eventually.
I noticed my first couple of times gambling in hernand that they cheated pretty often. You can tell by the way they grab the "cards." If their elbow is down by their hip, that's the indication they're cheating. If it's closer up to level with their shoulder, +-20 degrees or so, they're not cheating.
All I do is wait, fold every round, and watch the dealer. If you win it makes you the dealer, so that kind slows stuff down. I've only done this five times, so I can't guarantee it's 100%, but given enough time (this last round took like 8 hands) they've always ended up cheating.
Again, I can't say for certain it'll always happen, probably best to save after each game, but the 1800 silver in my pocket shows it's decently reliable.
Good luck out there Greymanes, may your pockets be filled to bursting.
