Quest Dialogue

Tales of Tribute

When you walk near her, she will say the following:

Sorinne Gaerard: "Hear ye, cardsharps and collectors! Test your wits and courage in a brand new card game— Tales of Tribute!"

Walk up to her to start the quest:

"Hey there! You've got a hungry look. The eye of a real competitor—I can see it!
Well, my friend, Tales of Tribute is the game for you."

What is Tales of Tribute, Exactly?

"It's a game, of course! A card game to be precise—full of twists, and thrills, and canyon-deep strategy.
I've been travelling around recruiting new players. It's been a lot of walking, but seeing the joy of new players makes it worth every step."

How do I play?

"Ha! Hooked another one!
If you want to learn the game, you should travel to Gonfalon Bay on High Isle and talk to my friend Braghas. You'll find him at the city gaming hall. He'll get you sorted. I wish you safe travels and good luck in the game!"

All right, I'll find Braghas in Gonfalon Bay.

"You are going to have such a grand time. I can still remember my first win. Such a thrill!
I'm actually on my way back to Gonfalon Bay myself, so I'll see you there!"

Why do I have to go to Gonfalon Bay to play the game?

"Well … there's a bit of selfishness there. Our Tribute chapter—the Gonfalon Chapter—needs some new blood. But we make it worth your while!
We handle all the registration fees, membership dues, and so on. It's a win-win!"

A New Venture

If you leave the club house without starting the next quest, you'll be hailed by Sorinne once again from the streets. She'll be miffed that you ran out so quickly:

"Hey there! You left so suddenly after your introduction, we thought Razhamad scared you off. I mean, everyone reacts differently after their first game of Tribute, but I've never seen someone just … flee.
It's fine, really. I'm glad I found you!"

What do you need?

"You probably think you know all there is to know about Tribute, but I promise you there's more. Master Razhamad has all the details back in the Bay and he'd love to share them with you.
In fact, I was about to head back there myself. Come on!"

Sure, I'll go talk to Razhamad.

"Razhamad will be waiting for you in the Gonfalon Gaming Hall. And don't worry, he didn't take any offense to you just leaving like that. Everyone's busy around here, we all get it.
Just try to stick around a bit longer this time. It'll be worth it."

But if you instead continued on to the next quest with Master Razhamad, you can go upstairs where you will walk in onto a secret conversation Sorinne and Brahgas having:

Sorinne Gaerard: "Brahgas, I told you…I can't do that. You know the rules. Those days are behind me."

Brahgas: "Hey, of course! Just trying to help out my friends. No worries, all right?"

<Brahgas walks away.>

You can speak to her now:

"Hey, it's our newest recruit! You made the right choice signing up here. The Gonfalon chapter's produced some of the best Tribute players in…well, Gonfalon Bay!
That's why we're bound to start winning again! Eventually."

Razhamad said you'd fill me in some details of the club.

"Yeah, of course! We should start with rankings.
Look around. Every player you see has a place in the Roister's Club rankings based on their experience. That rank determines who they can and can't challenge. It's banded, see? Like a…layer cake!"

So, where do I fit in?

"You're just starting out, so you're at the novice rank. As a novice, you can take on other novices, but not higher tier players. Don't fret! You'll square off against a game-baron soon enough!
Rising in the rankings is just a matter of experience."

How should I gain the experience?

"Just challenge another novice here in the gaming hall. Get a real game under your belt. Not just a bib and diaper match where Brahgas lets you win. Oh! Not that that's what happened with you!
Oh dear. Just go play a game and let me know how it went."

All right. I'll challenge one of the players here to a game of Tribute.

After agreeing to challenge one of the other players, you can ask Sorinne about the conversation with Brahgas:

"Remember, everybody's got to start somewhere. Win, lose, it doesn't matter. Just focus on learning the game—getting into the rhythm, right?
I'll cheer you on from here. It's not everyday I get to see an aspiring champion cut their teeth!"

What was that with Brahgas before I arrived?

"You saw that? It's nothing, really. Brahgas just gets a bit of swagger when he hits a hot streak.
He's been winning a lot recently, so he offered to get me in at the ground floor—tip me off to sure things so I can make a bet and such."

What does Razhamad think about it?

"Are you kidding? He hates it! He tries his best to curb Brahga's antics, but we're getting to the point where he's ready to let that Elf learn his lessons the hard way.
Sometimes you have to hit the bottom before you can rise back up to the top."

Sounds like you speak from personal experience.

"Ha! Perceptive. Listen, your focus should be on the fun of Tribute! I'm not going to drag you through the details of my sordid past. We'd be here all day!
Just get out there and have some fun, all right?"

After playing your real match, she will introduce you to Kishka:

"Not bad for your first game. Not bad! Better than my first, that's for sure. I did see you hesitate once or twice. If you need a refresher on the rules, you can always check the rulebook downstairs at the bar.
Now, I think it's time you met Kishka."

Who is Kishka?

"She's the moony Khajiit downstairs. Kishka and her brother create daily challenges for the chapter to keep us sharp. It's great practice and you can win some fine rewards, too!
Keeping her attention's no small feat, but when she focuses, look out!"

Thanks. I'll go speak to Kishka.

Speaking to her again:

"Kishka will tell you everything you need to know about our daily challenges. I do them every chance I get, and I'll tell you, it's always worth the effort!
Have fun out there!"

The Tournament Begins

You can choose to start the quest through her if you see her at most major cities. Approaching her:

Sorinne Gaerard: "The first rounds of the Tales of Tribute tournament is about to begin!"

Speaking to her:

"There you are! I've been looking all over for you.
We've got to get back to Gonfalon Bay Gaming Hall. The tournament is about to begin!"

The tournament?

"Ha! Yes! The Tales of Tribute Novice Tournament, silly! The one where all the Roister's Club chapters' novice-tier players square off against one another? Ringing any bells?
The first round begins soon, and you qualified to enter!"

What do I need to do?

"Head back to the Gonfalon Bay Gaming Hall and meet up with Master Razhamad. He's assembling all the novices and finalizing the competitors list. He'll tell you what to do.
See you there!"

All right. I'll head back to Gonfalon Bay and talk to Master Razhamad.

Speaking to her again:

"What are you waiting for? Head back to Gonfalon Bay and talk to Razhamad. I'll be along shortly. I wouldn't miss this tournament for the world!"

Sorinne and Brahgas will be back at the gaming hall after you speak to Razhamad

Sorinne Gaerard: "Quit pacing, Brahgas! Razhamad just had those tiles replaced."

Brahgas: "This isn't nerves, Sorinne. It's, uh ... excitement! I always pace when I'm excited, you know that!"

She in contrast to Brahgas isn't nervous at all:

"Hey! I knew you'd join us. Excited? Of course you're excited! But try to stay loose. A tournament's no different than a back alley match. Except for the prizes, of course. Mmm. Prizes.
Just don't get twitchy like Brahgas."

Razhamad said I'd play more than one match. Is that true?

"Yup. It's simple. To advance to the next round of the tournament, we have to battle our way through a series of chapter opponents. Beat them all, and you'll face off against their chief novice. Whoever that is."

How are you feeling?

"Me? I'm calm as a slug on Sundas! I don't let these things get to me. Tribute is meant to be fun! My days in Elsweyr taught me that there's far worse things to get upset over. Far, far worse.
Just enjoy yourself! Let Brahgas handle the stress."

Your days in Elsweyr?

"Yeah. I spent some time in Elsweyr. In my youth. Got into trouble and made a lot of terrible mistakes. In the end, it almost cost me everything.
But that's hardly game-day conversation. We have a much healthier addiction to feed! Be ready!"

I will. Thanks for the information.

If you spoke to her first before Brahgas, she will leave first to see the opponents:

Sorinne Gaerard: "All right, I'm going to see if our opponents have arrived."

After meeting the opposition, speaking to her before Varnauld Broch:

"Now, that's a punchable face. He's got a punchable face, right?
I can't wait to beat him!"

After speaking to Varnauld:

"Sooner we knock that smug grin off Varnauld's face, the better! Let's get to it!"

After progressing through the first match, she will be there to support you when you're facing off against Cecile Nevim in Tribute:

"Hey! I know you'd make it to the second round!
Just don't let your guard down. This might be a novice tournament, but all it takes is one slip up and you're knocked out!"

Once you beat Cecile, she will encourage to finally defeat Varnauld in Wayrest:

"Well, you made a meal of her, didn't you? Couldn't have happened to a nicer person, right? Ha!
But enough about the tragic fall of Cecile Nevim. You've got a tournament to win! Time to make your way to Wayrest and crush that blowhard, Varnauld!"

Travel to Wayrest, in Stormhaven, to play your final match. Varnauld will be waiting in the Cloudy Dregs Inn. He will be on the first floor this time, to the right of the front door. Brahgas and Sorinne will be there as well to watch the match.

After beating Varnauld, Brahgas and Sorinne are laughing at Varnauld's fit:

Varnauld Broch: "What? How can—? All my careful planning—my strategies .... I can't lose! It's not possible!"

Brahgas: "Aw, look at that, Sorinne. I think Varnauld's about to cry."

Sorinne Gaerard: "Yup. He's definitely welling up. Here comes the waterfall."

Varnauld Broch: "Shut up! Just ... just shut up!"

Speaking to her after defeating Varnauld:

"Even on the verge of tears…I still want to punch him."

After you defeated the Wayrest Chapter at Tribute, you will return back to the Gonfalon Bay Gaming Hall to celebrate with your friends. When you arrive, Sorinne will be dancing on the bar in celebration of your victory:

Gelekh: "Sorinne, how many times have I told you not to dance behind or on the bar? How many times?"

Sorinne Gaerard: "Ha! This is a victory dance, Gelekh! For victorious feet, there are no rules!"

Brahgas: "Isn't that the truth! Hey, our friend is back. Come, join us!"

Speaking to her before Brahgas:

"You should have seen the look on Varnauld's face when I beat him. I wanted to punch him in the face when I first met him, but this was so much better!"

Challenges of the Past

You will hear from Master Razhamad that something was bothering Sorinne after she received a letter. You learn that she met up with Raenobi, an old acquaintance from her time in Elsweyr. The conversation between the two has made Sorinne go to the docks in a sullen state. You hear her out:

"Hey, what are you—? Did you come out here to look for me? I'm sorry. I know the tournament starts soon. I just needed a moment.
It's complicated. I appreciate your concern, but really, I don't want to drag you into my mess."

Razhamad sent me. He's concerned about you.

"So, now I'm dragging Razhamad into this too? Mara's mercy.
I got a letter from an old friend. She and I were very close, but…I hated the person I was around her. I had to leave Elsweyr—to leave her. And now, suddenly, she's back in my life."

What did the letter say?

"The usual. Little stories. Inside jokes. They tore down our favorite tavern, apparently. Our favorite from back when I was using, I mean.
It just…it all came flooding back. Everything I tried to escape. It's like I'm right back where I started."

And now she's here?

"Yeah, she's here. And she came bearing gifts. Skooma.
After all this time, you'd think I could just say no, but I plucked it right out of her hand. No hesitation. I told myself I would bring it down here and pour it out in the harbor. But now…."

You want to use it again?

"I never stopped wanting it. Even now, talking to you, knowing what I know about what this does to people, I still want a taste.
I just need a moment to think. Thanks for checking on me. Can't say for sure, but I think you just saved my life."

After checking up on her, Sorinne will get off of her crate and hurl the bottle of skooma into the water:

Sorinne Gaerard: "Go ahead back to the gaming hall and let Brahgas know I'm coming. This old life…I'm done with it."

Speaking to her again:

"I'm all right. Really. Talking to you helped clear my head, I promise.
I just need a moment to think. Go on. I'm right behind you."

After speaking to Raenobi, Sorinne will arrive to prove Raenobi that she's not backing down from this challenge despite goading her with skooma:

Sorinne Gaerard: "Always playing the same tricks, aren't you, Raenobi?"

Raenobi: "Oh, Sorinne. What a surprise! How did you enjoy this one's gift? Smooth and fragrant, yes?"

Sorinne Gaerard: "I wouldn't know. You'll have to ask the fish at the bottom of the harbor."

Brahgas: "That can't be good for them…."

Sorinne Gaerard: "I suggest you get ready for the tournament, Raenobi. We'll be seeing you soon."

Sorinne will be determined to defeat Raenobi:

"Thanks for being there for me, friend. Really, it means the world.
Now, let's teach Raenobi a lesson in humility!"

She will be at the Skywatch market in Auridon when you face off against Lentondil:

"Hey there, friend! You go first, all right? I've got to make sure I'm composed when I battle Lentondil.
I won't lose this tournament. I've come too far."

After beating Lentondil, she will have more confidence in herself:

"Thank you. That match…how you won. That's what I needed. I know I can do this now. I'm not backing down.
Go out there and keep dominating my friend. I'll do the same!"

Sorinne and Brahgas will be at Elden Root to see you play off against Raenobi after defeating her teammates. She has faith you can defeat her:

"Don't worry about me. Don't pay me any mind. Just wipe the floor with her, friend."

Once you defeated Raenobi, Sorinne will tell Raenobi that she will face defeat again due to her overconfidence:

Raenobi: "Kra! You are better than this one thought. But one victory means little, yes? Neither of your friends will best Raenobi."

Sorinne Gaerard: "Still so overconfident. That's why you're going to lose. Again."

Raenobi: "Ziss on you, Sorinne! You will not be so lucky as your so-called friend."

You will speak to Sorinne, who will be very eager to defeat Raenobi:

"Well played! That face Raenobi makes she when she knows she's beaten? It's like a breath of fresh sea air. And I mean to see it again when I beat her!"

You ready for your match?

"Yeah, actually. I am. After our talk earlier, I know I can do this.
I spent so many years being the woman Raenobi thought I was—I never thought about the woman I wanted to be. I see that woman now, thanks to you."

Glad to hear it. Good luck.

"Oh, luck will have nothing to do with it, my friend. This is a thrashing that's a been decade in the making.
Now, you go on. Get back to the gaming hall and enjoy your victory! I'll join you directly."

Speaking to her again before heading back to Gonfalon:

"We're doing things my way this time. Win or lose, Raenobi will never forget what happens here today."

After speaking Razhamad and turning in the quest, Brahgas and Sorinne will return and laugh at how Raenobi got more upset at losing to Sorinne:

Brahgas: "I swear, Sorinne, I've never seen anything like it. She was so mad by the time I got there, she just flipped the table and walked away!"

Sorinne Gaerard: "Honestly, I only poured salt in an open wound. Our friend here is the one who really twisted her tail!"

She will be happy that she finally was able to stand up against Raenobi and show her that she can be her own individual:

"We did it!
I don't think I have to worry about seeing Raenobi's face again for a long time. I ran away the first time, but now she's the one with her tail between her legs. I feel like I'm finally free!"

Razhamad's proud of you.

"Ugh. I should never have kept all this from him. I know he likely put you up to speaking with me, but the fact you followed through—that you listened—made all the difference in the world.
I'm not alone anymore. Your reminded me of that."

So, what now?

"Now? We train harder than ever!
We're headed into the final matches. Whoever we end up playing will have crisp cards and masterclass technique. We have to be ready!"

The Final Round

Razhamad will ask you to find Sorinne and Brahgas before you begin the final tournament. You will find Sorinne around the Statue of Kynareth, which she will call out for your attention:

Sorinne Gaerard: "Hey! Over here!"

Speaking to her on how she is feeling and where Brahgas is at:

"Hey! You taking a pre-match stroll? I've always loved sitting up here…watching people hustle this way and that. Everyone with their own stories. Their own little adventures.
We've had our own share of adventures, haven't we?"

Yes, we have. Razhamad asked me to find you. The tournament's starting soon.

"So soon? Funny how it feels like an eternity between rounds, then it's a sprint once things start! Honestly, I never thought I'd make it this far.
Mara's mercy. The final round. Did Razhamad tell you the rules? Everyone for themselves and all that?"

Yes. Only one of us can win.

"Whatever happens, I'm rooting for you and Brahgas. But mostly for myself, of course!
I'll tell you, standing here within spitting distance of the champsionship…it's really something. Sorinne the Tribute Champion has a nice ring, doesn't it?"

You'll do great. Speaking of Brahgas, where is he?

"I saw him scuttling down an alley near the docks. Knowing him, he's off making some ill-advised bet. Gods, I hope I'm wrong. He's got a real chance at greatness here! He can't muck it up!
Oh well. Hopefully I'll see you both at the gaming hall soon!"

See you there, Sorinne.

Sorinne wants to stay at her spot for a little while, which you can ask how is she feeling since the last tournament:

"Just going to take another moment with my old friend Kynareth here.
None of the Eight really take an interest in games, as far as I know. But I like to think the old girl will nudge things in my favor at least a little."

How are you holding up since last match?

"Well enough.
Once that initial rush of victory wore off, I remembered how far I still have to go, you know? Once skooma has its hooks in you…it's not something you can just shrug off with a game of cards. But I did open up to Razhamad."

How was that?

"Difficult, at first. But I adore Razhamad. Even when I told him the really difficult stories—the lowest lows—he never once sneered, or laughed, or judged.
I know I can rely on him in the future when the stars aren't quite so bright."

He's proud of you.

"Oh, I know. He told me. Repeatedly! We're lucky to know him. All of us."

After speaking to Brahgas, she will be back outside the gaming hall with Razhamad and Brahgas awaiting the arrival of the Mournhold Chapter:

Sorinne Gaerard: "Surprised to see you out here, Razhamad. And with an empty cup no less!"

Master Razhamad: "Ha! It is the final round! What kind of game-baron would I be if I did not cheer the chapter on? Ah, it looks like your opponents are here."

Teliv Fels: "Honor to you, Razhamad. I, Teliv Fels, champion of the Mournhold Chapter, have come to extend the final tournament challenge."

Brahgas: "Damn…. It's them. I knew it."

Teliv Fels: "Oh, I thought you'd be happy to see us, my dear Brahgas. You needn't take this so seriously. It is just a game. Right?"

Speaking to her before Teliv:

"We're in trouble. The Mournhold Chapter has produced some of the greatest Tribute players alive. Razhamad beat this Teliv character once, but only barely.
Bah. All we can do is try our best, right?"

After speaking to Teliv and before checking the tournament listing:

"What is going on? Razhamad is using that voice. Do you think Brahgas really stepped in it again? Gods, why can't he keep himself out of trouble?
There's not much we can do for now. Let's just try to focus on the tournament all right?"

When you defeat Idrith Keleth, Sorinne will be at Coin Brothers' Cornerclub in Stormhold. You find out that she was eliminated after facing Dralcia Keleth and that she has concerns about Brahgas:

"I knew you'd make it! Well, I didn't know, but I certainly hoped!"

So…are you my next opponent?

"Who, me? Ha! No, no. That Mournhold bully over there eliminated me in the first round. You know what, though? It's fine. I had a grand time and there's always the next tournament.
Now, I get to relax and cheer you and Brahgas on!"

Speaking of Brahgas, have you heard from him?

"Nothing yet, but I'm hopeful. Honestly, I've been trying not to think about it. He's in it deep this time. The bets he's making…I don't know the specifics, but I know it's much, much more than he can cover.
I should probably check on him."

All right. Let me know if something's gone wrong.

"I really was looking forward to watching you beat the flin out of this Elf. Ah well.
After your match, I'll head back to Gonfalon Bay and do some investigating. Meet me at the gaming hall when you finish up here. I'm rooting for you!"

Speaking to her again before facing off Dralcia:

"Now, are you ready for your match? Dralcia's been perched on her chair like a cliff racer, hungry for a meal. Why not give her something to really sneer about?"

After beating Dralcia, she will see you back at Gonfalon Bay:

"Well, I never have a hard time watching one of the Mournhold Roisters lose. As much as I'd like to say and watch Dralcia's downward spiral, I need to figure out what's happening with Brahgas.
I'll see you back at Gonfalon Bay."

Once you learn about Razhamad's deal with Teliv, she will be there with Teliv awaiting your match with Brahgas:

"There you are. You talked to Razhamad, right? I love Brahgas like a brother, but you have to win this game. You have to."

After defeating him, Brahgas agrees to go with Teliv as his prisoner for the time being until you beat Teliv at Tribute:

Brahgas: "I…lost."

Teliv Fels: "And with that, your sad, redemptive fantasy meets its end. Do not try to run, Brahgas."

Sorinne Gaerard: "Wait! You and Razhamad had a deal!"

Teliv Fels: "Yes. A deal that remains unresolved. Until it's settled, Brahgas belongs to me."

Brahgas: "Sorinne, no! I'll go with him. A deal…a deal's a deal."

Speaking to Sorinne which you find out that Razhamad has bet the gaming hall to save Brahgas if Razhamad loses this bet:

"Damn it! I thought Razhamad set the terms so Brahgas would go free after the match.
Come on, we have to act fast!"

Calm down and tell me what's going on.

"Razhamad didn't want me to tell you, but you need to know. He struck a new deal with Teliv to settle Brahgas's debts. A big one.
If Razhamad loses this bet…he's signing over the entire gaming hall to the Mournhold Chapter."

Razhamad put the entire chapter on the line to save Brahgas?

"Yeah. Building, staff, licenses, the whole thing. Who knows what Teliv has planned for it?
But there's still a chance. Razhamad bet that a member of the Gonfalon Chapter would win the tournament. It didn't matter who—just one of us."

So, I have to beat Teliv to save Brahgas and the chapter?

"As if you needed more pressure, right? That's why Razhamad didn't want to tell you.
You can do this, though. I believe in you. Razhamad believes in you. The entire chapter is behind you. Now, go to Mournhold and show Teliv what Gonfalon's made of!"

She will be at Mournhold with Razhamad to support you on your match against Teliv as the fate of Gonfalon Chapter and Brahgas depends on you:

"You've got this. I know you do. Just try to think of it like any other game. Just…against one of the strongest Tribute opponents you've ever faced.
I…I'm not helping am I?"

We're going to get through this.

"I know we will. Well, you will. This burden is on your shoulders.
The fact is, you've helped each and everyone one of us. Especially me. Just…regardless of what happens, it won't be your fault, all right? Do your best. That's enough."

After you spoke to Razhamad and before you challenge Teliv:

"Teliv thinks he's untouchable, but he has no idea what's coming for him. You're one of the best players I've ever seen.
We're getting Brahgas back. I believe it. You should too."

Sorinne will be happy that you won against Teliv and departs with her companions to celebrate your victory:

Teliv Fels: "You…beat me."

Sorinne Gaerard: "Ha! Go kiss a kwama's arse, Teliv! Our new champion beat you fair and square!"

Master Razhamad: "As per our agreement, Gonfalon Bay now hosts the newest Tribute champion. Release Brahgas. Now."

Teliv Fels: "Razhamad…if you read the contract, I think you'll find—"

Master Razhamad: "The contract is final. If you want to dispute it, our newest Tribute champion has a skill set beyond simple card games. I am sure they'd be happy to put it on display if you try anything."

Teliv Fels: "Brahgas…you may go."

Brahgas: "Like I need your permission!"

Master Razhamad: "Come, friends. We should return to Gonfalon Bay. Revels await!"

Once back at the gaming hall. She has proposed a toast to you for winning the championship:

Sorinne Gaerard: "Three cheers for our very own Tribute Champion! Three cheers, I say!"

Gelekh: "The hero of Gonfalon Chapter! Cheers!"

Brahgas: "Aye! Cheers to the best of us!"

Kishka the Broker: "Ziss'vo! Would you all quiet down? Kishka has work to do, yes? But yes, cheers to you, walker."

Speaking to her before Brahgas:

"Sorry I started the revels a tad early. Once we knew Brahgas was safe, I might have let it slip that you won.
Guess that means you have some catching up to do. Go grab a drink and get to dancing!"

After the quest, you can chat with her some more:

"Well, now that the tournament is over, the only logical thing to do is to start preparing for the next one!
If I'm to have any chance of beating you, I've really got to up my game!"

Care to chat?

"I mean ... like over drinks? Ha! Only kidding!
What's the newest Tribute Master want to talk about? Strategies? Rare cards? The ingredients of Gelekh's eel pudding? Actually, let's avoid that last one."

What are your plans now that the tournaments are over? / Now that the tournament is over, what are you going to do?

"No rest for me! It's right back to ranked matches!
Might try out a new deck—test some unconventional strategies I've been cooking up. I did well in the tournaments, no question. But I know I can do better."

How do you think Brahgas is managing since Razhamad revoked his membership?

"Razhamad did the right thing. A big part of overcoming an issue like Brahgas's is managing access to the games. At least, that's what I've heard.
I started talking to a scholar about addiction. Priests too. I'm learning a lot!"

So, you think Brahgas is on the right path?

"I know he is.
And just because he's not a member of the chapter doesn't mean we'll cast him out like a flu-wracked beggar. He's our friend. He won't do this alone."

Have you heard from Raenobi since you beat her in the tournament?

"A mutual friend reached out a while ago. She said Raenobi doubled down on her skooma operation after losing to us…to me. Apparently a deal went poorly and she just vanished. No one's heard from her.
Part of me wants to look for her. Even now."

I'm sorry.

"Don't be. Raenobi was…honestly, I don't know what she was to me. A friend. An enemy. A lover. An abuser. It's just…I don't think I'll ever really untangle it.
Whatever the case, I'm better without her. It's a hard lesson I'm still learning."

Seems like you've learned a lot.

"I absolutely have. And I have all of you to thank. You, Brahgas, Razhamad…. You're my family now. No more mind games or temptations—just honest friendship.
I know I've said it a million times, but thank you. Seriously."

Don't suppose you've ever met a Roister's Club Founder?

"A Founder? No, never. I did hear a crazy story about a card-playing ghost, though.
Probably guar dung, honestly, but given the state of the world nowadays, I'd believe just about any crazy story you told me."

Tell me more.

"According to the rumor, this ghost has a full set of Tribute cards. And she plays like ... like some kind of fortune teller-wizard.
I've thought about trying to find her more than once, but knowing my luck, she'd probably possess me or something."

Where can I find this ghost?

"I heard she haunts some cabin in the deepest groves of Grahtwood.
I've never had the chance to explore those woods, but if I do? You bet your last drake I'm going to find this ghost and wreck her deck!"

"Well, now that the tournament is over, the only logical thing to do is to start preparing for the next one!
If I'm to have any chance of beating you, I've really got to up my game!"

Care to chat?

"I mean ... like over drinks? Ha! Only kidding!
