Attack the masked guy

Enough is enough, if he doesn't want to answer you, maybe he will be more compliant after you knock him around a bit. You raise your sword and jump over the table, intending to strike him in the side with the flat of your blade. But as you get closer, you see he doesn't look worried at all and just watch you curiously.

Just before it makes contact, your sword hit some kind of barrier in the air that stops your blade before it can connect with the masked man. You land from your jump and look at your sword with surprise. Suddenly, a yellow glow surrounds you and your sword disappears. The masked attendant turns towards you and you take a step back.

"Warning given, heed it well,

One more misstep and you'll be expelled."

You gulp at the warning given to you by the suddenly serious masked man. You feel that "expelled" is an euphemism in his warning and you don't want to know what would happen to you if you attack again.

"On this floor only the game matters,

the roll of dices that crash like thunder.

Here your weapon is useless, may as well be blunt,

for only Lady luck will protect your cunt" The attendant adds with a smirk, going back to his cheery persona, spreading his arms wide.

"Now come to the table and prepare to gamble

As the game will determine if you're willing and able

For the path further is closed and locked away

Unless, like The Gambler, luck carves your way"

Looks like you have **** but to play the game if you want to move forward. With a resigned nod to Eleanor, you make your way to the table.
