Talashia's mouth falls open for a moment, then she breaks into a curious grin.
"Well that little... I wonder if he's working for the house. I imagine a very few people just got very rich betting for him when everyone else was betting against."
Uulark says, "It does look a bit worse for wear, doesn't it. I tell you what, I'll give you 17 gold and a thunderstone, and you throw in a quiver and 20 bolts. And if you have any need for some priestly magic, I'll throw in a lesser power spell, as well. Will that be good for you?"
"Well, this is all very illegal," Talashia says to Shai, waving a hand at the cage. "So I'm sure the magistrate was mostly worried we'd find out about it at all. But it may also be that the house cheats. That small man was a spellcaster. He used magic to boost his strength before landing that last punch. A match like that would normally have been very one-sided...and since he took great care to disguise his casting, that suggests to me that magic isn't usually allowed in the cage."
She glanced at the white plumed man out of the corner of her eye to see how he was taking this unexpected win. Had he bet for or against the little mage?
OOC: That's it? He refused my offer, didn't he? Without even a word about what he would take? Or did you mean that he was packing the crossbow up in a parcel for Uulark to carry out of the store?The old man nods with a chuckle, and begins to pack up the crossbow. "Twas a pleasure, then. Yer welcome back when yer ready to buy."
Caerwyn is having second thoughts of entering the fight ring. Insted he is wondering if the participents are volentary or coerced.The man in white-plumed hat seems absolutely livid at the moment, as is evident by the clinched fist coming down hard on the table. At any other time the noise from the blow would be enough to silence the noisiest of crowds, but this is no ordinary crowd.

IC: Uulark is a bit shocked, but quickly recovers, "How much did you say your price was again?"
"Done and done!" says Uulark as he scrounges up the gold and plunks it down. "Say, Rogash, we've got to lay our hands upon some gold, and QUICKLY! I'm just about out.""Be thirty gold, and I'll throw in a couple boxes o' bolts."
[sblock=OOC]In post 193 he was very clear about the price. Apparently he doesn't haggle. ::shrug::[/sblock]
