Involvement[edit | edit source]

Akabi magically rigs his game, guaranteeing that participants will only ever get one of the sixteen largely useless consolation prizes, unless the party manages to cheat the djinn himself.

Winning the jackpot[edit | edit source]

A successful DC 20 Perception check will reveal that Akabi is cheating, manipulating the wheel to ensure no one wins the jackpot.

He will deny any accusations, offering the interacting party member to simply spin again instead. If provoked, Akabi will shapeshift the talking party member into a cheese wheel for 20 turns. Akabi will refuse to let anyone play who has been transformed by him in this way, but other party members can still participate.

Instead, Akabi will need to be pickpocketed for his Djinni Ring, without which he cannot rig the game.
