    The PCs learn of a new gambling parlor that caters only to the extremely wealthy. They also learn that whatever’s going on there does not involve cards or dice. Yet the patrons and proprietors happily confirm that serious money changes hands through the course of an evening. The parlor is divided into a series of small rooms, each of which has a scrying pool at its centre. The pools allow gamblers to watch adventuring parties fight monsters. Bets are placed on the actions and outcome of each combatant.
