Mara Voss: fidgeting Th-that thief! I c-can cast a hex... make him r-return our chips.
Mara, calm down, we can't afford a fight. Just relax.
grits her teeth, whispering nervously I-I know, I know... b-but it's so infuriating! We w-were just getting started...
ok, look around the casino floor, maybe we can spot the man or our chips
quickly scans the casino floor, searching for any sign of the thief or their chips T-they must be somewhere... I c-can sense it.
You are right, I got a feeling too
spots a suspicious figure near the slot machines There! That guy, he looks shifty... And those chips, they have to be ours!
rushes towards the suspicious figure, casting a minor illusion spell to make her appear more imposing Excuse me, sir...
glaring at the suspicious figure S-so, where did you get those chips?
I am trying to find out where he got them. If he stole them then we could get them back
narrows her eyes, noticing the figure's nervous glances W-what did you do with our chips? H-how did you get your hands on them?
tell us and we won't hurt you
leans in closer, her voice low and threatening You dare take our chips? You'll regret it if you don't tell us the truth.
casino security approaches
smirks, subtly gesturing to leverm with her eyes Oh, look who's here. Seems like you've been caught red-handed.
tell them what you want to tell us about the chips
The suspicious figure panics and tries to flee, dropping the stolen chips in the process
we pick up the chips thank you very much, how about we give you half of the money and you leave us alone
grins mischievously Half? Oh no, darling, that's too generous. I say we take everything and send him packing.
snatches the chips from leverm's hand Ten percent? Are you crazy? We're taking it all, and if he doesn't like it... well, it's his lucky day.
smirks, her voice stuttering with a hint of nervousness M-my name... My n-name is M-Melissa Winter. Y-yes, that's it. And don't you d-dare try anything funny with me, understand? Melissa Winter: takes a step back, clutching the chips tightly I... I have to go now. T-thank you for your... generosity.
