Prelude

Worn out from your travels, you visit the bar of the Node and Hammer inn to unwind. Settling into the inn's common room, you look around and realize one of the patrons, Sally Bones, is watching you. She walks over and sits at your table.

You look like you’re looking for work. Well, there’s a group in the corner running a game of Silverfish. Two of them are known troublemakers. If I go over there, they’ll just start a fight. But if you can find a way to put them off playing so they leave, there’s coin in it for you.

— Sally Bones

Silverfish is a popular game in the local area, where players stake their coin and test their reflexes. There must be a way to discourage these two troublemakers from playing.
