Pearls Before Brine, Deck

[Pearls Before Brine, Deck]

Room: 7134241

Sheets of patched canvas stretch overhead, forming a sun-bleached awning above a broad, uneven deck. A rusted anchor chain snakes between overturned crates forming makeshift tables, a variety of trinkets and wares piled on top. Towards the bow, a pair of skull-shaped iron lanterns illuminate a narrow opening to a steep stairwell that leads down into the cargo hold. You also see an ostentatious gangplank, an open crate and a battered trunk.

Inventory

On the table you see: some pale ivory dice, some jet-dotted white jade dice, some carved onyx dice, some crude bone dice, some needlelike quill darts, some feathered fingerbone darts, some slender lotus-patterned darts, and some sharp pearl-inlaid darts.

Pearls Before Brine, Hold

Directions: down a steep stairwell

[Pearls Before Brine, Hold]	Room: 7134242
Thick with the scent of brine and tar, the hold is cramped, the low beams forcing most visitors to stoop. Along one bulkhead, repurposed crates have been stacked to form shelves of salvaged goods, while to the stern, a makeshift door crafted from an old hatch leads into a storage alcove stuffed with battered trunks. A tattered parchment chart marked with red-inked routes lies on a rickety gaming table strewn with candle stubs and empty rum bottles. You also see a crude elm wood dart board.
Obvious exits: up

a small sign
In the Common language, it reads:
Let's play dice!

PUSH the dice to add one die at a time to the total number available for the game.

PULL the dice to remove one die at a time from the total number available for the game.

PROD the dice to change the number of sides on all of the dice in the game.

LOOK at the dice to see what was last rolled.

There are a few different ways you can ROLL the dice.  ROLL DICE HELP for more information.  Have fun!
