    What do a bottle of wine, a cup of dice, and lonely wizard all have in common? Well read on if you care!


    A wizard who drinks only goats milk,
    A bottle of wine that has never been drunk,
    and a cup of die that has never been cast,

    Three simple things are all we need,
    to concoct this perfect recipe.

    Jupiter sat at alone at a table,
    a bottle of wine from fables.
    a candle or two just for spice,
    and a cup of untoss-ed dice.

    How oft had Jupiter found him self in this quandary?
    A lonely game of dice just would not do. So quick as you please a portal appeared and out came to folks in search of wine.
    But as is consistent with most of my tales, the price of the wine was not so simple.

    Three words of Umbra and three from Minuet, would determine this game.

    Umbra replied: "Poison, attack, and Loot," three action words quite predictable to boot.
    Minuet responded: "quickly, silently, and deadly!" and thus Jupiter's game was started.

    This was a game where Snake Eyes is King
    and the greatest sum is last of all.
    For he (or she) who cast the highest
    won the ill-fate of completing the task upon a Balron!

    The first, to deadly poison, a was won by Jupiter who soon learned this was both fatal AND futile (apparently they are immune to such things)
    The second, to silently attack, was deftly handled by Lady Minuet, who stepping from the shadows struck the Balrons with her flute
    The third, to quickly loot, which Umbra handled with ease. Although he was quick and light on his feet, sadly he did not best the Balron in a foot race.

    I was very impressed with your ability to actually kill the Balron with your cane!
