The Room

[Shadow]

The object of the game is to figure out what happened in the room.

You are allowed to ask a yes or no question about anything previously asked/answered or described by me. Any question that cannot be answered [yes] or [no] will simply be ignored.

In order to win the game you must phrase a detailed description of exactly what happened in the room (including in said description each and every item named in the first post... I.E. below) in the from of a yes or no question.
If the answer to that question is [yes]...

You win.

Now... The circumstances:

There is a room.
In the room is a table.
Around the table are four chairs.
Three of the chairs are occupied.
There is a deck of cards on the table.
Four hands have been dealt from the deck.
One of the hands has four aces.
There is a door to the room.
On the door is a hook.


What happened?

((If you've heard this riddle before, I'd ask that you please refrain from playing or helping the others as it would ruin thier fun.))

[edit] There is a specific answer that I'm looking for here. Yes or no questions will lead you towards that answer.

Please reread my answer to your first question in the last post and reply so that I might not confuse you.

[Cobra_Ikari]

Please reread my answer to your first question in the last post and reply so that I might not confuse you.

If any of their injuries can be considered "plot-important", which you replied yes to, then my question needs no more clarification. Various degree of wounds can be considered "injury" or not, but that doesn't really work for plot importance. I didn't ask how important.

[Shadow]

I meant this one:

1) As I stated in the previous answer, I'm now going to ask for you to define "injured" for me so that I can answer correctly.

That goes for you too, MC.

1) This is the time where I ask you to define "wounded" in order for me to answer appropriately. I probably should have done that with the "injury" question as well.
