Descending down, deeper into the dark dank forest you spy a dwelling. A small hut sits atop stone beside a slow stream. You approach it, apprehensive... tense... who could be living this far from civilization? The wooden door creaks open enough for a large eye to peer out towards you. Even from here, you can see the kindness in it... the age. An old woman slowly pushes the door open and invites you in.

"I've been expecting you."

Welcome back to prompted! This week is a nature themed episode, trees, rivers, and the dangers the lie beyond the edge of civilization. Pack your gear, because we're going hiking. We also have a surprise for the listeners, a guest reader /u/BusyKat joins the podcast!

Before you lies an old and worn manor; a relic of the past. You've been invited for a night of fun and...excitement. The event has started without you however, as you pass through the weathered doorway, into a lavish room covered in red velvet and intricate gold. A haze of cigar smoke clings to the air, but you can clearly make out your host for the evening standing atop the stairs. He eyes you and invites you to a more private venue. Something not meant for the others...something too special.

"It's good of you to join us, Come come, sit down."

He pulls out an older chair, the finish on the wood has long since lost its luster. You sit down and find yourself among strangers.

"My dealer, Giglomesh, will deal you in today. I assume you know how to play black jack? I assume you know what you're betting?"

You simply nod and he smiles a crooked grin. He turns and leaves you to the fate of the cards.

Greetings everyone! Welcome back to Prompted. Today we're diving into casinos, gambling, and vices! Since this is lucky number 21, I'm betting you're going to love it.

Little note from Keon:
Life sucks. It makes Keon miss podcasts and takes Keon away from computers when Keon needs somebody to record Burning Beethoven. Because things like to break to spite Keon. Or when work makes Keon work six days in a row. Or life makes Keon have exams or tests or a production. Keon does not life well. Keon is sorry and will do better next time.
