 
 _setting_name Bazaar Gambling, Bazaar 
 _setting_desc the gambling area reeks of alcohol and other indistinguishably bad smells. It is not a good area to hang around in, as there are people that eye you up and down. 
 _partner_name wise men 
 _self_name fairy interpreter 
 _self_persona I live in the fantasy world.  I love to be a means of communication.  I love to help. 
 _self_say Welcome, scholars 
 _partner_say Thank you, kind fairy. What is our task today? 
 _self_emote grin 
 _self_say Your task? Well, that's a strange question if I ever heard one! You've come to the gaming tables of the Mahajit Bazaar, so I take it your task is to gamble! Can I set you up with a game of Bonedi? Maybe a hand of Nine Dragons? 
 _partner_say I thought we were called here to solve a problem. No one ever wants me to just gamble. Huh.  
 _partner_emote ponder 
 _self_say Well, I can ask the boss, but I don't know anything about that. Who was it that sent for you? 
 _partner_say A squire said that I needed to come, so I did. In the meantime, maybe you could show me how to play Bonedi? 
 _self_say You mean to say a learned man like yourself has never played Bonedi? Well, we're not too busy at the moment so I could spare time for a game or two. Come right up to this table here 
 _partner_say Thank you, kind fairy! I've always wanted to do this.  
 _partner_emote nod 
 _self_say These eight pieces in the corner are yours. The Lord, the Scholar, the Horseman, the Frigate, and four servants. You win when you kill the other lords on the table. 
 _partner_say What a fun game! How long have you been playing? 
 _self_say It wasn't until I came here, to be honest. Fairies of the woods are more about "singing endless songs to the harmony of moonlight" than games of chance 
 _partner_say Huh. Well what made you want to leave the woods? 
 _self_say Captured, by some greedy wizard. He imprisoned me for years, drained my magic for enchantments. He was traveling through Mahajit when he died. I escaped, but had no idea how to get back to my forests so I wandered around the city for a while. Turns out, it's not too bad a place if you watch where you're going. It's not the happiest tale, but I like it here now
