Yousef the shell man's page

[Dice=Perception]1d20+3

Altin isn't really concerned if the shell man was cheating, only that he gets his money :)

"Excellent! No, I think I'll just take my winnings and leave it at that," he smiles, holding out his hand.

Altin receives his winnings, a gold rupee.

I want no trouble! No trouble at all, sir! I was just admiring the beauty and spirit of your black-skinned woman... I am sure she is worth many camels!

Altin finds no pebble under the outer shells...

Sleight of Hand to place the pebble under the center shell unnoticed 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19

Aha! We have a winner! Your eyes are sharp, sir! Try again?

The center shell is lifted, revealing the pebble...

In Arabic: Heheheee!! A feisty one! She would fetch quite a price, I’d wager! Pretty to look at and full of fire! Hehehehee!

The shell game man leers salaciously at Mwikali...

Mwikali looks about the crowd standing her hand on her spear as she was dressed in her more rugged travel attire. She smiled as she looked at the others and let Kiku rest on her shoulder.

"Marketplaces are always crowded. Too many bodies,.." She let it drift off as she comes over and look at the shell game and then to the man running it.

"You Shell man, Which way to the Caravansani, I and my companions are weary from our travels and wish to rest wash and eat."

A woman speaks for you? the shell game man seems surprised... The refreshments are over there... the man gestures to a tent where chicken and goat meat is sold impaled on kabobs...

The man takes Altin’s copper bit and grins, showing him the pebble, before ceremoniously placing one of three shells over it upon the table he sits at...

Watch the shell carefully, good sir...

The man moves the three shells around in a dizzying display of manual dexterity...

Sleight of Hand 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28 vs Perception checks of onlookers...

A crowd surrounds a man offering gold to whoever can identify which of three shells covers a pebble...

Spying pale skinned strangers with coin purses, he grins and waves the adventurers over...

In Arabic: Salutations, worthy travelers! Perhaps today is a day of good fortune for you! Would you care to try your luck? Only one copper rupee to play!
