Games Night With Alexander (Part-6)

The reason for Gelene cursing the moment she read her card was this.

It said, 

"Your new business has become very popular. Receive 500 ropals from the king as a gift. Then be immediately sent to the dungeon on charges of tax evasion. On your next turn, roll only one die. Even number sets you free. Odd makes you disappear."

This one move meant that it had become almost certain that Gelene would not have any chance of reaching Tibias, which was the water utility square.

Plus, it seemed to also make Mean laugh quite hard, 

"Ahaha haha, imagine getting to see the king, he hands you a bag of money, hosts a lavish feast, and then just as you are to leave, says, 'Oh, I heard you are not paying your taxes. Off to the dungeon with you! Ahaha hahaha," Mean chuckled with wild abandon while clutching her tummy.
