“Are you a player of chess, Human? If so, why don't we bet on a game?”
“Get your hands off that! This is a valuable item! These are custom-carved and based on the Titan of Baleros' standardized rules! The best [Tactician] in Liscor plays on these very boards I sell! I bet you don't even know how the game is played!”

“Human, you and I have a dispute. I refuse to pay for goods sold, and you refuse to leave. So long as you're stinking up my storefront, I won't have any business, so I offer a wager in good faith. Win against the player of my choice and I will pay you back the money you paid me, though it will cost me my goods that I have earned honestly.

“Well—”
“There she is! There’s the [Thief]!”
“You can’t trust her word! Get a truth stone! All of these Humans have caused nothing but trouble since they got here! First, they start stealing, and then what? They’ll take our jobs, attack us on the streets—”
