Depending on where they came from, Meril may want to give them fashion advice before taking them out on the town. If so, their first stop will be Riverside Market.
After that, he’ll take them around to his favorite gambling houses, probably starting around eight or nine in the evening. During the evening, some of his landless noble friends will join them: Jack Munden (Lord Stonegate’s first son), George Ralston (Lord Leicester’s third son), and Eddie Doray (Lord Norton’s only son). These friends are all in Meril’s class: landless, but with a bit of money (and probably just a bit more than Meril). They’re out for a night of fun but they aren’t gambling their fortunes away. They’ll gamble some, but they’ll talk more.
If the characters aren’t carrying any weapons, Meril will not wear his rapier either. Jack and Eddie will be wearing theirs.
They’ll also run into the middle-aged Earl of Melridge, David Holt (Dan Holt’s father). And Meril will introduce them to several bartenders and croupiers.
If they pay attention, they’ll learn that Meril is worried about his brother, that Meril’s friends are more worried about his brother’s debts (and what they mean for the Lisport line), and that Danny Chaverson is accusing Meril of some part in Eldred’s disappearance.
Make sure you check for encounters during their night out.
