In an old tavern at the edge of a dark forest, you meet a gambler.
"Care to try your luck at the cards?" he asks, with a wicked gleam in his eye.
A) Accept
He grins diabolically as you sit down, making you uneasy. "The stakes are this - if you win, I'll give you something from my collection of magical items. If I win, then I'll curse you instead."
He deals the cards and you play a round.
Success (x1):
You play well. Your opponent frowns, then reaches beneath the table for your prize.
