[QUOTE="Dichotomy, post: 5834383, member: 12941"] [sblock=OOC]If you guys want to wait, I plan to post more. I just realized that I've already been gone for over an hour, and I should get back to work. I never use quick reply. I know there was something I didn't like about it, but I don't remember what it was.[/sblock] Nethezar grins. [color=orange]"I'll leave the stabbing to you, if you leave the lying to me."[/color] In short order, the scholar begins spreading tales of your most awesome adventures fighting kobolds ([color=orange]"They're dragonkin, you know!"[/color]) and a fearsome battle against a pack of wererats ([color=orange]"They MUST have been wererats, because... because normal rats aren't THAT big, are they?"[/color]). It seems almost too easy to convince the nobles that you are literally the very worst group in the lot. With that done, Erdolliel manages to find a few bookies willing to, in their minds, steal your money on a hopeless wager. [sblock=OOC]Your bluffing is enough to make the odds (for the first round) 10 to 1 against you winning. (For comparison, you learn that the odds for Auric's Warband are 1 to 10.) Your odds will then change as you progress through the competition (i.e. assuming that you win, your payouts will go down, and there's really nothing you can do about it anymore). You find 4 bookies who are each able to handle a wager of up to 250 gold. Assuming that you win your first fight, you can either (a) ask Ekaym to cash you out, or (b) continue to let a wager of up to 250 ride.
