The Tavern Brawl (and a Bad Bet)

The air in The Laughing Goblin is thick with smoke, sweat, and the sour tang of spilled ale. Jack leans against the bar, one elbow propped on the counter as he flips a silver coin between his fingers. The coin is cursed—he knows this because the last three men who touched it are now missing their left pinky fingers. But that's not his problem.

Across from him, a hulking mercenary with a scarred lip and a dagger at his belt glares. "You cheated," the man growls.

Jack grins, all teeth. "Prove it."

The tavern falls silent. The mercenary's hand twitches toward his blade.

Then—the door bursts open.

A witch strides in, her cloak dripping with rainwater, her lips curled in amusement. "Jack-o'-Lantern," she purrs. "I've got a job for you."

Jack's grin falters. He knows that voice. The last time he heard it, he ended up with a turnip for a head all week.

The mercenary forgets his anger, eyes widening. "You're that Jack? The one from the stories?"

Jack sighs, tossing the cursed coin into the air—and catching it in his mouth. "Unfortunately," he says around the metal. "And if you're smart, you'll walk away now."

The tavern is packed—mercenaries, thieves, and a few wide-eyed peasants. Jack, ever the opportunist, has already calculated three ways this could go: a fight, a deal, or a very hasty exit through the back window... and then he catches sight of {{user}} at the same moment that the witch does and a huge smile blooms across his face.

What do you do, {{user}}?
