You probe him about the lord and discover that there are rumors he's been speaking with someone, a mage not from the region, and that there have been a large number of strangers coming into the area as of late. He tells you that he knows a little magic, and used a spell of truth on a commoner, which identified the innkeeper as a rebel sympathizer and a contact for potential recruits.As the game goes, neither of you seem to be consistantly winning anything from eachother. The only player who is losing money is the dwarf. Nonetheless, the filthy creature takes his losing streak in stride. Both you and the elf make about 3 gold off of him as the stakes slowly increase. Every time Gyozo considered raised the stakes, he took out his lucky silver coin and flipped it, each time landing on heads. Despite profitting off of Drunnis, he seems peeved that he is not winning off of you. He covers his frustration up poorly, scowling at the dice every time he makes a comment of "Great roll!". He begins to watch you suspiciously, but you masterfully cover up the subterfuge.The whimpers of the innkeeper drift in from the other room. "Well, he's not talking" one of the other members of the group eventually walks in and says to the elf. "Gyozo, why don't you just use a little bit of your magic on him?""Not right now," the elf snaps back, "Keep working him over, it is certain that he is involved in all of this..."Turning back to you, he takes out the tarnished silver piece and flips it again. Upon seeing the result, he looks you in the eye and says "I think you and I are more alike than I first thought. I'm afraid I must make a confession. This coin," he holds it up for you to see, "is magic, it was stolen from the treasure of the dragon Thariak and it has the power to predict whether its owner will have good fortune or bad fortune, and it never fails. I know you have some sort of trinket of your own, otherwise I would be winning." He watches your expression carefully, "Would you care to wager your trinket against mine on this next game?"[If you want, you can make a roll, then if you don't like it, use sleight of hand to reroll. You can do this as many times as you like, though each time, he'd get a spot check to notice what is going on.]</blockquote>
