Games Room
Care to play some games of chance? Make your way to the games room, where there are billiards and card tables available.NOTE: These games are self hosted, for fun and IC gil only. We do not have dealers on staff or anything of that nature
All of these games are self-hosted by guests and/or staff! They are purely for fun with no real gil involved! These directions and rules are simply provided as a suggestion! Feel free to make up or use your own!
However, we do have a few rules that we ask you to follow:
- IC gil only please! This is just for fun!
- Keep your clothes on in the room, please no strip poker, ect.
- All regular venue rules apply in private rooms as well! Venue Rules
Billiards/Pool
This is a modified version of 8-ball, to be played on the billiards table in the game room!One player will break the 8-ball formation with "/random"0-500 = Stripes
501-999 = SolidsHow to play:
To get a ball in, Players take turns in rolling "/random". If a player rolls higher than 500, the ball has gotten in. There are 8 balls, and each needs to be sunk before sinking the black 8 ball. If a player accidently sinks the 8 ball sooner than that, it is an automatic loss.To sink the 8-ball and secure a win, on the player’s turn, they will call out (in character) one of the 8 pockets that they are aiming the 8-Ball to sink in. OOC , the player tells the others a number between 1-8, then you use "/random 10". If the player gets their roll, they've sunk the 8-ball and have won!
EXAMPLE: "Eight ball, corner pocket ((Number 5))." /random 10If a player rolls a 1, they've sunk the 8-ball, which is an automatic loss.If a player rolls a 999, they've sunk the white ball. This means that the opposing team/player can remove the ball and place it anywhere on the table. Placing the white ball down means they can roll with advantage (roll /random twice, choose highest number)
Blackjack
This is a simplified version of Blackjack. The goal is to reach 21 or have a higher total hand value than the dealer without going over.It is recommended to use party chat to keep things organized!Players begin by placing their bets, the min-max values are at the discretion of the dealer.
(Suggestion of a 5k min bet. IC gil only! Feel free to go as high or low as you wish though!)Each player gets two face-up cards, while the dealer gets one face-up card. Players can choose to hit, stand, double down, or split. The dealer will then draw their own cards, which concludes when they bust or reach the required standing point.HIT: Player can request additional cards, up to the threshold of 21 or stand at any time.DOUBLE DOWN: Player pays their initial fee and receives one card. Then they automatically stand or bust.SPLIT: The player can split their duplicate cards into two hands. The player may hit these as regular hands as many times as they wish. A player cannot DD or split a hand that has already been split.STAND: Keep the current hand.CARDS: Each number represents its face value, with the exception of 1, 11, 12 and 13.Ace (1) counts as either 11 or 1, depending on what is more advantageous for the hand.
10, 11, 12, and 13 all count as 10.SPECIAL RULES
Splitting Aces: Allowed5 Card Charlie: When a player hits an additional five cards, and totals under 21, this becomes a 5 Card Charlie – which boosts the payout rate to 2.5x. The player must still beat the dealer.Natural 21: A natural 21 is unbeatable, it can only win or push (draw with the dealer).
The Balcony
If you need a break from chat scroll or perhaps just a more private place for talking during your visit at Le Renard Argenté, you may use our beautiful Balcony room, among our private rooms in the venue.However, do keep in mind that all our same rules apply while using this room. This means if your roleplay is getting spicy, please take it elsewhere.

Evreux Mouraut
Evreux Mouraut
Proprietor; Broody Silver Fox
Age: 51
Gender/Pronouns: Male - He/Him
Sexuality: GayBio: A Dragonsong War veteran turned artist, Evreux has always been a somewhat mysterious man, his past filled with rumors and scandal. He claims to simply be a lowborn from the Brume but nepotism shown to him at one point in time from House Dzemael, as well as the way Evreux carries himself, says otherwise. One can easily get the sense from Evreux that he is not exactly what he seems. Once a devout Knight Dragoon, in recent years he's spent much of his time painting portraits for the Ishgardian nobility. But it seems he has hit a point in his life where he decided to start setting down some roots, in the form of starting his own business, Le Renard Argenté.In general, he tends to be stoic and secretive, with his own brand of playfulness. He's been rumored to be a flirt, even a rake, but whether that is related to recent occurrences or things in his past is unclear. Perhaps one would have to speak to him for themselves to find out.

Gender/Pronouns: Male - He/Him
Sexuality: GayBio: Sevaut is known as a socialite around Ishgard's social scene within the upper echelons. Though his connections to nobility do not seem to be anything much of note, it does seem to give him enough pull to go to all of the best parties and clubs. Somehow. Though perhaps that is mostly due to his charms and pretty face.There are whispers that he is someone who can help anyone get what they desire, if they are willing to make a deal. Is such a deal worth it though?

Gender/Pronouns: Male - He/Him

Bio: Dealing with the aftermath of a war he unwillingly fought, Solstice has found himself in need of coin. Coerced to apply to Le Renard Argenté by his two boyfriends, who also work behind the bar, he may be exceedingly distracted throughout the night, though that just means he'll likely pour you a stronger drink. Give him attention or play into one of his bits, however, and he'll keep you entertained all evening.
And even though Solstice is far from home, something is hunting him, calling him back into the deep old growth of the Skatay Range forest, and he cannot ignore her song for long.

Gender/Pronouns: Cisgender Male (He/Him)
Sexuality: Bisexual
Bio: Known to all as the silver-tongued bastard of House Vairemont, Sebastian has spent much of his life carefully cultivating his reputation as a playboy and social oddity. While most found the scandal of his parentage to be unsavory, he sought ways to make that work in his favor. Charm, whit, and that crooked grin of his opened many a door, allowing him to flit around the scene often causing quite the stir. He can still be found in salons and sitting rooms alike, though seems to favor flirting his way through clubs that cater to more sophisticated clientele.

Bio: Volumes can be read in the turn of a wrist, the flicker of a smoldering glance, the gentlest touch of fingers to shoulder. Words are wrought into sentences with layers of meaning and innuendo, an entire litany of vocabulary wrapped in a single statement or turn of phrase. The byzantine language of nobility goes far beyond simple word play- it is an art form of the highest order, artistry the Viscount Tynik practices with the grace of one born to it. Educated and erudite, this clearly Ishgardian viera can wax eloquent on subjects from heraldry to literature. A sommelier, a poet, a courtesan, the Viscount is keen to please in a wide variety of ways.

Sexuality: Bratsexual- Kidding Pandemisexual

Not that it will be anything but- He works for Ives in some sort of a fashion. Being a step or two removed from the mans circle means he doesn't air his relations lightly to The Sharlayan Dandy on a whim, especially not here within the club.He's here to socialize as best as a grumpy old Rava can who wants nothing more than to have his smoke with a nice glass of whiskey, while keeping the venue and staff as safe as he can from the patrons should they decided to act outside of gentlemanly conduct.
