 | 🌱 **PCs challenge or are challenged by Zebulon Bancroft** | Zebulon nods toward a Carom table in the VIP room. “Carom. Minimum stake: 200 Kourou. Winner takes all.” | Win: Gain 200–600 K, Zebulon’s respect, and potential future contact in the Hope farming scene (in another adventure). Lose: PCs owe or lose at least 200 K and may be offered to earn them as "Fighters in the Nebula Fight Arena" |
 | 💬 **PCs make small talk with Zebulon** | Over shots and caroms, he talks about Bilax roots (“Soil’s Gift”) | Mentions that the Natives call Bilax Roots actually Bil-Ak  (“Soil’s Gift”) but due to a misunderstanding exohuman call them Bilax Roots now which actually doesn't make any sense.  |
-| 🃏 **PCs sit at a Twenty One table** | A Groupier explains limits and fees and shuffles smoothly. | Low-stakes, fast gambling. PCs can bleed small amounts of money or slowly build a pot. Good scene for Elias’ gambling urges if he’s present. |
 | 🧊 **PCs try to cheat** | If a Fire Bill employee notices subtle anomalies; bouncers converge slowly rather than instantly. | First offense: stern warning, loss of winnings. Second: ejection from Fire Bill and disadvantage on social checks in Firetown gambling circles. In severe cases, Felix alerts contacts at the [[local_station_of_the_guarding_troopers_firetown|Local Guarding Trooper Station]]. |

     - That’s fine. Fire Bill is optional.
     - You can still drop one or two overheard lines about Troopers, Cartel, or Zebulon to make the visit feel meaningful.
