Mazu took advantage of the commotion between a Peacemaker and a hapless fellow to pick a few pockets. She rarely came out to Rata Sum, but with her ship and hometown in ruins, she was drifting without a port. She'd had to let what remained of her crew go.
Short cons of false shuffles and shell games weren't going to get her sailing again. Maybe it was time for a bigger take. She considered for a bit, deciding a good option might just be running the White Mantle Scam on an Inquest krewe. She just needed to find a shill.
((Note: shrill is a confederate of the con artist, who may act like a friend/peer of the victim in a scheme))
