When a gambling hall was opened in Puddleby, I frowned upon it. However, in my wanderings around

Puddleby, I decided to look into all of the new rooms in the Gambling Hall to see what games there were.

I discovered that the Hall now hosted BLACKJACK. This brought back memories of the great Gambling

Halls in LasThoomas (in the Empire). It suddenly dawned on me how people could afford such expensive

items as Purgatory Pendants and the like. Here you see me striking it rich. I turned 200 coins into 4,000

in just a few minutes. This is more money than I have ever had since my exile. Thanks to some shrewd

card playing and not a little luck, I now am the proud owner of a sunstone, something I never thought I

would be able to afford! (I tend to average about 1 coin every time I leave my studies to wander about

Puddleby Island when I don't gamble, and hunts are unreliable.) I think i'm hooked...
