== Interactions ==
When approached, Akabi will invite the player to participate and Spin the Wheel for 500 gold, loudly promoting the allure of winning the jackpot. Akabi magically rigs his game, guaranteeing that participants will only ever get one of the sixteen largely useless [[Akabi#Consolation Prizes|consolation prizes]], unless the player manages to cheat the djinn himself.

=== Winning the jackpot ===
 
== Winning the jackpot ==
A successful {{Ability Check|Perception|20}} will reveal that Akabi is cheating, manipulating the wheel to ensure no one wins the jackpot.

He will deny any accusations, offering the player to simply spin again instead. If provoked, Akabi will shapeshift the player 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 characters can still participate.

Instead, Akabi will need to be pickpocketed for his [[Djinni Ring]], without which he cannot rig the game. However, doing this will permanently lock the player out of winning future consolation prizes.
Instead, Akabi will need to be pickpocketed for his [[Djinni Ring]], without which he cannot rig the game.  [[Bard|Bards]] can also distract Akabi ({{Ability Check|Performance|15}}) with either a joke or a well-timed fart and win the jackpot. However, both of these options will permanently lock the player out of winning future consolation prizes.


[[Bard|Bards]] need not even steal or trade for the ring: with a successful {{Ability Check|Performance|15}}, they can distract Akabi with either a joke or a well-timed fart and win the jackpot. Akabi will accuse the player of cheating anyway.
Winning Akabi's "game" earns the [[Inspiration|Inspirational Events]] '''Cheating the Cheater''' ([[Charlatan]] background) and '''A Grand Prize!''' ([[Sage]] background).


After, paying 500 gold to play will result in the player winning the jackpot. Akabi will be enraged at the player having cheated, and transport the contestant, alone, far to the [[Jungle]], in the distant land of {{FRWiki|Chult}}. If the player can survive, they'll find the legendary [[Tridents|trident]] [[Nyrulna]] in a locked chest near the portal back to the circus.
=== Jackpot "prize" ===
Regardless of how the player won, Akabi will be enraged and accuse them of cheating. He will transport the contestant, alone, to a [[Jungle]] in the distant land of {{FRWiki|Chult}}. This is the only way to reach this area and obtain the items within, notably the trident [[Nyrulna]] and the ring [[Band of the Mystic Scoundrel]].


There is also a [[Band of the Mystic Scoundrel]] hidden in the cave to the west of the portal, high above behind a large fallen tree.
Akabi will permanently close down the game if the one character wins the jackpot, all characters are turned to cheese, or if all consolation prizes are claimed by spinning the wheel 16 times. In order to obtain all the rewards, including the jackpot, one must have 8,000 gold in hand, spin the wheel normally 15 times, and win the jackpot on the 16th spin.
