The duelist who will never forgive you for fleecing them.\r\n3. The legendary gambler you aspire to beat.\r\n4. The friendly rival who always keeps you on your toes.\r\n5. The noble who publicly accused you of cheating.\r\n6. An ink-stained academic who wants you to test a risky theory about how to beat the house.\r\n7. The gang leader who would rather kill you than pay up.\r\n8. The kid who strives to emulate you. \r\n9. The cardsharp rival who cheats to win.\r\n10. The rival who won something from you that you want back.\r\n\r\n### Gambler Mementos\r\n\r\n1. Gambling debts owed you by someone who's gone missing.\r\n2. Your lucky coin that you've always won back after gambling it away.\r\n3. The deeds to a monster-infested copper mine, a castle on another plane of existence, and several other valueless properties.\r\n4. A pawn shop ticket for a valuable item—if you can gather enough money to redeem it.\r\n5. The hard-to-sell heirloom that someone really wants back.\r\n6. Loaded dice or marked cards. They grant advantage on gambling checks when used, but can be discovered when carefully examined by someone with the appropriate tool proficiency (dice or cards).\r\n7. An invitation to an annual high-stakes game to which you can't even afford the ante.\r\n8. A two-faced coin.\r\n9. A torn half of a card—a long-lost relative is said to hold the other half.\r\n10. An ugly trinket that its former owner claimed had hidden magical powers.",
