To be honest, the mad mage Walkerway had indeed proposed a very interesting gambling game. He actually wanted to wager all the "property" he possessed to win the magical dagger, Saitis' Blade, from Punk.
Whisper of Destruction did not understand why Dead Wen Feng Lantern was so obsessed with a dagger whose craftsmanship could only be called "rather excellent," to the point of being willing to put his life on the gambling table just to make up for one mistake. But weren't the actions of those deranged spellcasters inherently incomprehensible?
