Underground Series of Baldur's Bones

Hey, I just want to try something silly. Maybe it'll have a little bit of interest.


Rules

Baldur’s Bones is a popular dice game in taverns. Each player requires several six-sided dice. The rules are as follows:

Each player puts the agreed ante in the pot
Each player rolls three dice. Play then proceeds clockwise around the table, with the host of the game going last.

On their turn, a player can choose to "stand" or "roll." If the player stands, the next player can take a turn. A player who rolls takes an additional die and rolls it.

If the total of their dice exceeds 21, they "bust" and are out of the game. Otherwise, they can keep rolling additional dice until they either stand or break.

After everyone has had a turn, the highest point total (excluding players who busted) wins the game and takes the pot.

All players will start with 100Gp.
When you get to 0 you are eliminated.
Each round will be a 5Gp bet with a final betting round before the winner is announced.
In order to make it more interesting, the first two dice of the three rolls will be rolled in secret with me included. All dice after will be in the open. This allows a small amount of strategy.


Feel free to play in character. Make up an interesting Character throw around outlandish stories during the rounds of share stories during rolls.

Let's bump those posting #'s up.

Eyescream the pixie shaman joins the table, standing on a barstool. She looks over her shoulder at the bag of gold coins levitating behind her (Eyescream is a slightly cyber-modified pixie, from the Shadowrun universe, circa 5th edition. I don't feel like explaining how she got here.hard currency? What kind of backwater place is this?) and drops the spell, letting it fall to her stool with a thumping, chinking sound.
Scooting the back to the front of the stool with a foot, she reaches in and draws out 5gp, one at a time, and sets them on the bar.

Using both hands to lift her dice cup. "I'm in," she grunts, putting two dice in the cup and turning it over.


She then hefts one die, blows on it for luck, and tosses it into the air.
Dice third die:
1d6 3


She peeks under the cup - lifting it so little that no one with a head bigger than a child's fist could possibly see inside - and grunts audibly. "That will never do," she says, taking another die.
Dice fourth die:
1d6 3


With six showing, and two dice hidden, her eye seems to gleam a little. "Oh, let's go one more," she says.

Dice fifth die:
1d6 3


"Seriously? Another three?" She gestures exasperated. "Aw, sod it anyway, it's the first game."
Dice sixth die:
1d6 4


"Nuts. Busted," she says, overturning her cup to reveal a five and a four - total, 22. "Hey barkeep!" she shouts, flying up to eye level. "You wanna send someone around to take my order?"
