"I challenge the captain", the huntsman suddenly declared to her. As if everyone heard him, all was silent. Even the organ stopped playing. It was odd that Hades would hear him, but he was a deity, and the ship had his eyes and ears, so of course he would have heard him. Thumping sounds of boats were slowly thumping on the deck above them, until he made his full appearance while walking down the stairs. "I accept", he told him. 

As Eric was being forced to sit down. The gambling table was set in front of him with one of the crewman placing the dice and cup in front of him. After Hades appears before him, the Huntsman stands, his expression remaining neutral. "The stakes?", the god asked him. "If I lose, you get my soul. For an eternity of servitude", Eric tells him with his voice still courageous and non-fearful. "If I win, you hand me this", he then set the fabric on the table before the lord of the dead. Eyeing him suspiciously, Hades picks up the fabric, only to see the drawing of [i]his[/i] key. His. Putting the fabric down, he almost showed an expression of fear. "How do you know of the key?", he asked the Huntsman, wondering. "That's not part of the game, is it?", Eric instead asked him before swiftly sitting down. "You can still walk away", he offered. The god sat before him. Reaching into his thick black robes, a dangling object was pulled out, only to reveal that it was indeed the key itself. Eric's mouth gaped a little bit, but now, he knew where the key was. That was all he needed to know. The key was pulled away from his sight as it disappeared back into the god's robes. Both males put their dice into their cups and it a slow shuffle before slamming them back down on the table, upside down.
