Lena Shadowcaster: (shuffles the deck with a flourish Watch closely, Amber. The possibilities are endless with this deck!
Alright, show me what you got.
As Lena finishes shuffling the deck, a sudden gust of wind blows through the docks, extinguishing all torches and plunging the area into darkness. The crew looks around, confused and slightly panicked.
