[ When Kostos wakes, he'll find that he's received a terribly mysterious invitation to an exclusive card game. Unknown to him, a stranger (terrible, mysterious) will also attend.
Kostos doesn't have to actually accept the invitation. Not intentionally. Should he ignore or otherwise attempt to circumvent its summons, a chain of coincidences (terrible, mysterious, you get it by now) and well-timed accidents will conspire to see him there.
The invitation is beautifully calligraphed, and includes a small gold-wax candle to present at the door. The game takes place in the basement of one of the cheaper Hightown houses, and already hosts a smattering of well-heeled gamblers lounging before the main event. Each of them has brought a candle of their own, lit and scattered about the room.
Then everyone leaves — except for the bartender. And a violinist. Who both regretfully explains that the door is locked from the outside, and that the four of them have no choice but to have a lovely candlelit dinner.
In exchange, the bartender (an enormous vashoth) will not break Kostos' legs.
