the gambling area reeks of alcohol and other indistinguishably bad smells. It is not a good area to hang around in, as there are people that eye you up and down.

rat
I am a large gray rat that scurries around in the castle walls. I like visiting the kitchen to snack on the bread crumbs. I carry diseases, so don’t touch me.
And I know that he must have a bad hand - I ate the King of Hearts last week! Curses, I need to make all this money back. I could jump in there and grab one of his cards and run, would that help? It just might, cards have never been my strong suit. Which form of gambling is your strong suit? Oh I am not good at any of it really, my skills lie in alchemy. But this does provide quite a rush now and again! Could you transmute the cards into gold using your alchemical prowess? I could, but that is just so boring at this point..,. What would excite you then?  Aside from gambling? I am afraid not much these days, I can more or less make anything I want. It makes life boring. How about trying to transmute a dragon?  A bet that would be a challenge, and if you succeed you will get an awesome life-like dragon sculpture. Better idea yet, why not transmute an actual dragon!
