### **Recap**

"*The party have arrived on the plane of Azagrat, a demonic world dedicated to indulgence and pleasure. Here, in the mirror-like streets, the planar citizens of the multiverse come in droves to experience whatever they desire. A planet of decadence and corruption, ruled over by the demon prince Graz'zt. The party hope to engage in a game with Graz'zt himself, a challenge called the Dance of the Sixth Finger, where the winner leaves with a magic ring, capable of granting wishes. Of course, nobody has ever won before. En route to the Argent Palace, the party investigate the Theatre of Steel, and seek a blacksmith who can enchant Aila's hammer, the Howling Tempest. Here in the forges beneath the gladiatorial arena, they also meet another elf, with powers and tartan similar to Aila's. Sadly, Rethra, the elf, seems to have suffered a great mental trauma. Unable to communicate properly, the party decide to try and return for him so Quill can use Greater Restoration to help him recover. At the palace itself, Graz'zt eagerly accepts the challenge and is delighted to reveal it: a card game, using Tarokka cards. Graz'zt explains the rules: each player chooses three cards, one at a time. Each card is worth different amounts of points, and the card scores positive or negative points depending on the card's orientation. Three cards, three wishes; and Graz'zt offers two more players to join Thalia Whisperwind, to which Quill and Lucius agree, staking two hundred years of servitude each. There is one twist to the game, however: if the zero-point card, the Broken One, is chosen, and it is upright, the challengers will automatically win. However, if it is reversed, they will automatically lose. After two cards each, the challengers have minus ten points, and Graz'zt has minus nine. Quill uses the Eye of the Storm and asks "what card should I choose to win?", but his answer is uncertain; showing Quill the best card for the moment, it reveals the upright Dark Lord, scoring them plus thirteen points, giving them a total of three. And Graz'zt has one final card to choose.*"
