Secretly A Society Summons You X
Dues in hand, you return to the SGSR entrance. The acronym feels...wrong in your brain and you resolve to discuss the matter with Buddy at his earliest convenience. Before you can knock, the door swings open and a member sweeps you inside, chiding you for your lack of discretion in the process.
The entrance hall is now well lit and lavishly decorated. As you descend the stairs, you can hear faint sounds echoing ahead of you. Glass clinking against glass, shouts of exclamation, and other tidbits of sound you can't place rise in a cacophony of chaos ahead of you. As you arrive in the common room, Buddy is seated in a chair, holding rectangular cards with strange drawings on them yelling at a townsfolk across from him that you don't recognize.
"YOU CAN'T RESOLVE MANA TAP AFTER THE REKEEP STEP! THAT'S A CLEAR VIOLATION OF THE STACK RULES WE ESTABLISHED AFTER THE DISASTER THAT WAS JENKIN'S MISTBIND CLIQUE DECK!"
At another table, someone - probably Jenkins - shouts back, "YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEXITY AND JOY OF LOCKING ANOTHER PLAYER OUT OF THEIR TURN, BUDDY!"
The chaos is completely overwhelming and while you recognize the words they are saying, the meaning is completely incomprehensible to you. Your escort rings a bell at the bottom of the hall, and the common room goes silent as everyone turns towards you.
Buddy stands up and addresses the room, "Fellow gamers, we have a newbie among us. Who would challenge this one to a rite of passage?"
Every hand in the room raises immediately. Buddy smiles and says, "It's a dice-off! {player}, we're going to need a lot of dice."
