Nothus shrugs, "Suppose it could be a way to make some coin... or make some enemies, if we make too much coin.... 'course, we could also lose."

Interesting, and is there anything special about the 2 cocks? Are they both healthy or is one of them sick? Why is one of them favored over the other? Is one of the owners that much better at training their cock?

Once she gets some answers then she will still put 10gp on Cornugon. During the match she will evil eye Muddy Lyza to shift the odds in her favor since there is no way to detect it.

Shame we don't have a Life Oracle to link our combatant of choice.

Nothus throws in 10gp, betting with Neltji. Never bet more than you can afford to lose...

So we got 20gp on Cornugon with Ndombe abstaining. @Cevill" Are you getting in on this action?

Another 20 on Cronugon.

Whoo hooo...first bruise goes to Cornugon. Also make sure to roll that will save for evil for Muddy. First round saves, second round attacks, 3rd round ac.

Neltji gets caught up in the fight as she cheers on Cornugon. Peck away little bird, peck away!

Wait...is that what I am suppose to be cheering like? How do you even encourage a bird that doesn't understand you? Does it even matter at this point? Our expenditure of energy to cheer on a bird is a waste, yet so engrossing!

With a squawk Muddy Liza attempts to peck Cornugon!

With Cornugon's final peck, Muddy Liza falls to the ground. She will either be given time to heal, or become tonight's dinner. Some are happy with their heavier pockets and some grumble at their lighter ones.

To be honest, I have no idea about odds or how much money you won, so feel free to RP it if someone knows.

Based on my reading we pick the underdog that had, for some reason, been given the less favourable betting odd. Please correct me if I'm misreading that.

"Boom, chicken diviners over here. I mean that metaphorically, of course. Pay up the 30 gold and a hand shake if you are a true sportsman."
NARRATOR Skirgaard GS Map / SS MAP/

Rickets flashes with anger. True Sportsman? How dare you question my sportsmanship when it is you who cheated. I saw you wiggle your fingers. Who else saw them cheat? Cheaters! Cheaters! I do not pay cheaters! If you don't like it, my hired hands will show you out!
Female Human Witch 6 HP: 49/49 hp AC: 12(16)/12/10(14) Saves: 5/4/5 perc: +0 Init +6. hex save DC 18 misfortune 20

Neltji puts her hands on her hips and stares at Rickets like he is daft. What do you mean wiggle your fingers? Everyone was clapping, pointing and moving hands and fingers this entire time! You need to pay up before we have the entire camp in an uproar for your scam chicken fights.

At 2-1 odds I believe Neltji would get 20 gp back for her 10gp wager.

Nothus shakes his head, "Based on your reaction, if there's a scam to these chicken fights, I'm thinking it's yours. What happened? Did you drug the wrong beast? Because I sure didn't cast any spells -- magic takes more than just 'wiggling fingers', whatever that is."

Yup, 2-1 means you get back twice the initial bet.
NARRATOR Skirgaard GS Map / SS MAP/

The thugs approach you. Ricketts smiles an evil smile. Are you all leaving or do my friends throw you out, cheaters?

The thugs mean business, so if you continue to try and talk this through, roll intimidation or diplomacy checks or take an action.

Neltji will head straight for the largest group of people she can find yelling at the top of her lungs. Rickets is refusing to pay up on the bets! He is a double crossing swindling CHEAT running a dirty SCAM!

The crowd starts placing bets between you all and Ricketts' thugs!

Anyone else doing anything or should we roll inits?

"Hey this was just a nice bet between friends. If you pay up you may get repeat business and take us for our shirts next time. You like odds right? Let's say there is a 5% chance you lose this fight. You lose everything not just some gold. Your life would have to be worth less than... 100 gold given 5% odds...2000 gold. Do you think either your life is worth less than 2000 gold or you have a much better than 5% chance of winning the fight? If the answer is no to either then the fight is a bad bet. I think you are worth way more than 2000 gold and I give us at least a 30%."
