You're already dead, why do you need a potion?

In the establishment, an unfamiliar man in a hooded cloak with an unremarkable face offered Hodges to play "Pearl".

-- Sure, let's play. A hundred each, is that okay?

You're dead, why do you need a potion?

but the buffs still work

Ask your mistress to buy you a potion. And if she refuses, fall to the floor, kick your legs, and cry.

-- Sure, let's play. A hundred each, deal?

— Too low, in my opinion. Let's make it five hundred.

Libar separated from the group and tried to enter the courtyard as discreetly as possible. Perhaps that swindler was planning to return. However, Libar didn't think it was necessary to catch him. It would be better to deal with him more harshly if the opportunity arose.
Karolin and Ilkesedar didn't immediately notice their companion's absence. The pikeman frowned:
-- Where could he have gone?
-- Well... He'll probably come back.

Cop, you just try to lose Libara now, on top of everything else.

Yes, that would be sad.

-- Nope, that won't work. I'm broke right now, a hundred and a half is the maximum I can offer.

Libar found their old acquaintance in the company of a Tiliian; they were sitting in a corner of the courtyard and talking about something.

-- No, that won't work. I'm broke right now, a hundred and a half is the maximum I can offer.

— Well, if that's how you want it; try your luck at "even or odd," I won't play for that kind of money.

Even though Hodges didn't particularly like betting on odd or even numbers, he had no choice and placed his bet on odd. And if luck doesn't favor him today, he can always play "Pearl" later.

Am I right in understanding that luck plays a role here, but not cheating?

If you lose, I will re-roll the dice.
