Kraken's Bounty Crooks

We open on the Krakens Bounty, a casino in Waterdeep. several slot machines and game tables are laid out, but all attention is focused on a single game or port royal, a variant of poker. Two players remain, with the dealer having already folded. One is a fae-ish looking woman with dark pigtails and fancy dress. The other is a man with blue skin, and clear crystals in scattered places on his body. Watching the proceedings on the side of the man is also a large white dragon, smelling strongly of vanilla. Man: Well well, so it's come to this. You are one lucky player. Woman: and you are quite skilled. Most people arn't able to keep up with me like this. Man: Well I am certainly not most people.   Both players show their hands. They are both similar, but the woman has the winning suit. A groan of dissatisfaction sweeps the watching crowd, as the woman seems to have lucked into a winning hand once again. As the woman goes to collect their winnings, several large men move over to the table   Guard: sorry mam, but I am going to have to ask you to leave. Woman: Why? the table is just getting hot! Guard: The table has been hot for a long while. We are not sure how, but you appear to be cheating somehow. As we can't prove it, we are forced to allow you to keep your winnings. However, we refuse to let you continue to game in this establishment. Woman: Tsk, third place this week. Oh well, guess I will go play my games elsewhere.   We quickly cut to the owner of the Kraken in his office, yelling at his security guards for allowing this woman into the building. The kraken at this point has lost 3 months of winnings, 324k in gold. Apparently this woman has cleaned out many other places along the continent, and is on a watch list. However she always seems to catch places right at the exact time that security would miss her entering the building. Many casinos have been wrecked from the insane luck this woman seems to have. We then cut back.   Both the man and the woman leave, and start small talking outside of the casino. Woman: You certainly gave me a run for my money. It was nice playing with you mr...? Man: Stone, Cold Stone. Woman: Mr. Stone. Parden my question, but I have never really seen someone like you before. What exactly is your lineage? Stone: I am a candian. We are a recent people, formed from the chaos bubble in Candia. That said, the kingdom is gone now. I was a prosecutor before the fall of the kingdom from the revolution. Woman: Were you good at your job? Stone: I would say so, best I know at least. Woman: Well if you wanted to get your feet wet again, I just so happen to have a friend in the Republic of Dale who could help you get your feet again, instead of earning money in places like this. With the recent restructuring they are in desperate need of legal officials. Stone: I would very much like to practice law again, I think I will take you up on your offer then.   Both people shake hands and make their way towards the republic.
