* Briefing:
   Sometimes, an opportunity just falls into your lap. Chancey, a former associate of yours, has a
hot tip for you, in exchange for a small cut of the action. Specifically, he looking to get a ring 
for his girl, Sylvia.
   The Fool's Journey is a profitable casino and 'social club' in Sunnyfair. Time to break the bank 
at the casino. Although you are not the sentimental type, you DO owe Chancey a big favor, 
so pick up a nice ring for Sylvia.
   Any altercations tonight might reflect badly on Chancey and Sylvia. It would be best to not kill 
anyone, or let anyone sound the alarm.
   In fact, not being seen at all might be an even better plan.
