This quest may be occasionally NSFW.

"It jus' you 'n me now, dust bunny. Not too late for you t' cash out like rest of 'em."

Chuckle, lean back and blow some smoke topside - and see the li'l fey spying down on y'both from above - then blow a big ol' puff at 'em.

Frown, get a bit uppity and wonder aloud if this little sneaker has been passing messages along and that's why he's been so confident as to what you got in your hand? Then reveal your hand.

Either he'll be confused and say that can't be the case - if you won - or he'll be upset and defend his innocence and either way it goes you can try to press the match from being annulled because hey, how can you know he wasn't receiving li'l signals from the peekabo up top?

Of course, he is a big lunky meathead, so if you lost straight and it got to a fight... uh, maybe you should just take the loss, before he takes it out of your teeth.

Slap your cards down, your hand covering a random one claiming that you got the "Big One" and that the pot is yours, pulling the chips over your cards so he cant *really* focus on them, it is dark in there after all

I slap my cards down all defiant-like. Not a clue what kinda hand I've got, 'cept that my... associates seem t' think it's a winnin' one.

Better hope they're right, I got a lot ridin' on this 'n I mighta bet a teensy bit more than my pockets can hold. Oh, 'n the deed to that fancy-ass duneskiff I saw moored outside of town.

But I put that outta my mind -- time to put on a show. "You can take yer jackeye 'n stuff it. I got the big one right here. The queen's bra, as they say." I'm makin' half this shit up, but it's all just part of the act.

Whatever hand I had, it sure wiped that smile off his sorry face.

He tears his eyes away from the cards to stare at me, confused, before looking down at the cards again. "H-how... how you..."

Poor lug don't know what hit 'im.

Blow some smoke in his face so he doesn't notice your partners in crime on a winning streak. Then take your winnings and go... somewhere? What's the fairies' take from the haul?

Your friends seem quite casually underdressed, that doesn't get distracting at all does it? Anyway, really lay on the futility, let him know "the lady on the moon's gonna be kissin' me all over with this one." No idea what that means but it sounds good.

Tell him it's just the luck of the draw sometimes. Sometimes you win by bluffing and then there's just having a fucking awesome hand.

"I have no idea!"
Because you literally do not understand how your cohorts ensured you won.
Sell him on the con that you're just cocksure dumb lucky and get out of there ASAP. Leave behind a tip so he isn't fuming to the point of putting out a hit on you.

Hope you have a plan in case he accuses you of cheating and tries to beat you up.

I'm sure there's an interesting story in how you came to meet these friends of yours, but for now let's collect our winnings and leave before he figures out what's going on. Unless there's something more here that you're after.

>Hope you have a plan in case he accuses you of cheating and tries to beat you up.
Sure do, it's called the "grab the money 'n book it" plan.

>Your friends seem quite casually underdressed, that doesn't get distracting at all does it?
Eh, their tricks stopped workin' on me years ago, 'n after a while you just kinda get used to it.

>What's the fairie's take from the haul?
Told 'em I'd buy 'em a bag o' sugar, of course.

>Blow some smoke in his face so he doesn't notice your partners in crime
Naaaah, that'll just piss 'im off. Don't spin around a bear on 'is honeymoon, as they say. Besides, he ain't gonna notice a thing.

Still, better to vamoose before the shock wears off. Ogres ain't known for controllin' their tempers.

I shrug. "Just dumb luck, pal -- what can I say? Lady on the moon's been all over me tonight!" I slowly shovel my winnings into my hat -- at least 300 ducats, I reckon. Not a bad haul at all!

Probably something like this.

Ideally we should avoid swatting at or insulting the fairies. They are our accomplices.

Even if he can't notice the fairies, I'm pretty sure the cards flying and dropping on the table would be telling enough.

Unless you want to end up like that fairy, I think it's time to put your previous plan into motion. Also, taunt him by telling him to have fun playing with the bugs.

The added benefit here is that, once he starts chasing you, it's pretty likely he'll drop the fairy he's holding and she'll be safe. After all, some nasty bug should be nothing compared to a bag of money stolen from him.
