((Suddenly an Egan appears and snaches up Courage's soul before Minos can do anything.))

((Only to be dislodged and sorted to the 7th circle of hell.))

((good game. Like I said I'm terrible at chess, so I'm not really surprised at the outcome.))

((You were doing pretty well for much of the midgame, by the way.))

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Goodbye....

[MidnightJaguar]

((You were doing pretty well for much of the midgame, by the way.))

((Thanks, I did learn a fair bit about chess just by trying to figure out half the things you were doing, so I guess I should thank you for that. Side not, did you know that wikipedia has a ton of info on chess rules and moves? It's pretty impressive how much stuff they have centered purely on chess actually.))

"Well played, Courage.  To the end."

((I was aware... it's interesting, I say. Especially the articles on chess variants.))

Yeah, some of those fairy pieces might have been an entertaining thing to spring on Courage.

So Courage, you played valiantly but in the end Minos beat you at chess. You are now split up from your group and indentured to Minos for thousands of years, will you bow out of the game or do you have something else to do?

Thump.

"Oh look. the third circle of hell. Who has the better position now, us, or Courage? I look forward to seeing him again before long. Perhaps, on the way out we can bargain again with Minos for another exchange, and possibly win our friend a shortened term of indenture."

[NRDL]

"All in due time.  We will find a way.  But...on with the mission"

play more games against Minos for entertainment and to attempt to shorten your indenture, for example.

If no one minds my inability to play board games well then, sure, I'll stick around.

It's up to Minos to decide he'd like to try a double or nothing bargain but you'd have to ask him. Otherwise, you might like to escape somehow, there are many ways to try and get out of your predicament. Or, if you wish, you could accept the terms of your original pact and bow out of the game. So you have to choices, play on or bow out.

[MidnightJaguar]

((Courage is nothing if not brave and foolish, so of course he's going to play on.))
"Minos! So you have a virtue to play with for a couple thousand years, but you know that's a pretty short period of time for us, how about double or nothing?
((or if Fallacy/Minos doesn't feel like playing again.))

Courage looks for a way to escape his predicament, and tries to consider some options.

[FallacyofUrist]

"Interesting- and risky- preposition. But... double or nothing- too... tame for me. Here's my offer: we play another strategy game, of my choice. If you win, your time as my jester gets shortened to only a single year(oh the horror). If I win, your time as my jester gets extended to a hundred thousand years. If it's a draw, then nothing will change about the current situation. Do you wish to risk it?"
