Zaria will nudge Salty.. "Hey buddy this place isnt known for umm.. Eatable food.. Best just stick with a drink while here.. We can go get something to eat afterwards.."
Valaravans licks his tusks..
"I guess there won't be much use in going back there myself... and the match seems interesting... Barmaid, change my order to the best rum in the house! And I'll toast with anyone that wants to toast with me, "Salty" Valaravans, best cook of the 4 oceans!" - he screams over the inn noise.
He winks at Zaria, and clumsily smiles to her to give her thanks for the recommendation.

Djulla listens to "Salty" on his bet and says "Luck favors the bold me friend, 200g on the dwarf!"
You are extremely lucky and sometimes your allies are as well.
Prerequisites: Defiant Luck, Inexplicable Luck, human.
Benefit: You gain an extra use per day of your Defiant Luck ability. You can also use your Inexplicable Luck ability to grant an ally that can see and hear its benefit as an immediate action.
Inexplicable Luck
Others are often dumfounded by your luck.
Prerequisites: Defiant Luck, human.
Benefit: Once per day, as a free action before a roll is made, you gain a +8 bonus on any single d20 roll. You can also use this ability after the roll is made, but if you do, this bonus is reduced to +4.
"Hmm i seem to recognize that Half-Orc.. I would shy away from betting against him.. Esp with a newcomer.. I'll put 100 on the Half-Orc!"
Valaravans ignore the info he is given.
"Of course the dwarf is not a match for the Half-Orc. A dwarf is never a match for a Half-Orc"

«If I were you, I would be wary of underestimating the newcomers» he says to Salty and Zaria «Master Valaravans, may I ask you for one of your famous disappearance cocktails? I am afraid it might come in handy.» he puts on the table enough money for an invisibility potion, then makes his way to the ring where the combatants face each other.
Valaravans grab the 200 gold (no need to leave it on the table) and slips Rhous the potion.

Rhous gets close to the ring and shout at the half-orc, trying his best to sound like a lowborn and putting aside his fancy words for the moment «C’mon champion, c’mon! I bet on you me last pay!» he shouts to grab his attention, waving the receipt for the bet on Belok.
Then, careful not to be seen by others, casts a charm spell on the half-orc «big fella like you, get’im! Sweep tha leg, trip him down!» Rhous tries to remember what he knows about dwarves and suggests a losing tactic to Belok, knowing the spell will make it seem like a good idea «make’im fall down! C’mon!»
The half-orc hears the call for advice. Obviously ignoring it, he takes a moment to make a small prayer, obviously angering the dwarf. The dwarf rushes in and attempts to grapple his opponent. His arms quickly wrap around the half-orc and a triumphant smirk takes his face. Belok rolls his eyes and slips out of the grab almost as if made of jelly. He retaliates with a whirlwind of jabs. The dwarf takes the full set of blows.
Valaravans roars happily! He starts to think if recruit this guy would be a good idea...
Zaria yells.. "Go Belok! Kick his ASS!"
Djulla mutters to herself "looks like I wasted 200g.... doesn't look like fate is with this one."
She then lets out a sigh and goes back to her normal cheery self and continues cheering for the dwarf.
She cheers out loud to the dwarf "You win this and I'll give ya a big kiss!"
"What?!? No Kisses for the Half-Orc?!?"
Djulla watches the fight closely to see how its going.
Valaravans seems bored as the fight seems to drag on forever...
"Come on Belok! If you don't knock the Dwarf up I will go fight myself!"
Belok gives a glance over to Salty, granting him a nod. The dwarf again attempts to grab onto Belok, but the half-orc slips through his fingers, as if water flowing from a hand. Belok lets out another assault on the dwarf. The dwarf falls to his knees, throwing his hand up into the air.
"We have a surrender! Ladies and gentleman, your winner in rare form today: Belok Talorg!"
Cheers and whoops spill forth from the crowd. The bookie strolls over and rewards the group with their appropriate winnings.
Zaria collects her winnings and cheers Belok on.. "Whoo Hoo.. You go you big stud!" She looks to her companions.. "Well that was fun, yall wanna go rumor mongering?"
"Go Belok!! Well done brother! Over here, you need to come over here to have a drink with me!"
Salty looks happy and excited, while he motions for Belok to join them, showing him the 100gp he made him win.
