Heath then noticed the signed rules required the owner to pay a hundred times a prize’s value if a ring landed on it, and prepared to challenge him.

• Zorua spotted the ring toss stall and eagerly chose the Treasure Pirate King collection as her target.
• Heath warned Zorua that the game likely had a catch, but she insisted on spending her hundred League Coins on one try.
