"Oh, that's just Rolo. He drops in from time to time to play a few rounds of 'Doubles' with the regulars. It's quite popular and easy enough to play. There's an ante to join and each takes a roll of the dice in turn, if you roll doubles on the dice you win that many coins from the pot, if not you add what you rolled to the pot. You can join or quit the game as you like, but once you add your coins to the pot they are considered lost unless you can roll doubles and win some back."

I am part of the cult of Jerry, fear Jerry, love Jerry, be Jerry, we are Jerry. I'm really sorry that I haven't been able to Dm recently. I owe everyone a lot of apologies . I'm really sorry. I would like to start a new campaign. Message me for questions.
No worries, you're just excited and want to play really badly, I get like that sometimes. You have to be check the PbP Forum each day to see if there are any new games that are recruiting. Many of the private or closed ones will not accept new players in the middle of a campaign. Be patient and you will find games sooner or later.

Apparently this halfling is a real wheeler-dealer and is hoping to drum up some side bets. Only one patron, a white-bearded grandpa takes him up on it and they make a 2 silver side bet just between themselves.

“We don’t have a lot of coin to spread around, but we do have these other pieces of Hooked Horror carapace that could be used to make some fine armor…Perhaps a trade would be in order to finance the making of these exceptional swords?” suggests Randall.

"Tell you what, it's only a matter of time before adventurers find themselves with gold... and it's going to take me a while to craft these into good weapons." He squints an eye at you, Ceo, before continuing, "You do want good weapons don't you." He doesn't wait for your answer but bulls on with his diatribe. "Let's say when you finish some epic quest or grand adventure, whatever you adventurers do, you return and square up with me. It will be a good break for me from having to churn out the same old stuff all the time."
Turning back to Randall, "As for these other pieces..." he picks one of them up to examine it more closely, "from the same monster unless I miss my guess. Hmmm... I could make a nice suit of armor out of this lot, if you're interested?" Kronk gestures to the pile of carapace pieces.

"Well... I know that it saves time not having to forge the pieces from raw materials so that would lessen the overall cost." Realizing he may be talking himself out of a potential profits he quickly adds, "but it's an exotic item isn't it, and not everyone will be able to craft them into armor."
He puts the piece he was handling back down near the others, "What say we settle on the final price when you see the finished product? There's a small chance some pieces might get ruined unless I take special care with them. It's not like working with metals where you can simply reheat them and start over. I'm only going to have one try at it, one attempt to get it right. The final price will still be less than paying for regular plate so you needn't worry about getting gouged like over at Brutwert's. I honestly don't know how he manages to stay in business."
"So what do you think? We have an accord?"

Anxious to see to the plight of the refugees, Randall says, "Let's go speak to the mayor and see what the situation outside the city looks like--or I can go myself and get him if there is more you wish to accomplish in town."

(@Randall & any others who wish to check on the mayor and the refugees.)
You are able to visit them outside the walls without any trouble. There are individuals who pass by you, coming and going from the city, apparently small numbers are allowed entry to secure goods and supplies, but a count is kept by the guards so the mass of over 900 ex-citizens of Garrum cannot all sneak in or anything of that nature.
When you meet with the mayor he greets you, "Hail, Brother Randall. Any news concerning our plight? Can we enter the city soon? Some of the women and children grow fearful that the goblin horde will snatch them up and carry them off in the middle of the night." You can tell he hopes you have all the answers or a solution of some kind that will ease their dire circumstances. And as he finishes speaking some of the women and children within earshot let out a little cry of despair and fright at his grim predictions.

“Take heart, good mayor, for we have been at work in the city trying to find a solution for you and your people,” answers Randall, loudly enough to be overheard by the refugees who were frightened before.
“It would seem our best option is to find some ships that will sail the refugees of Garrum away from here, though I am still unsure why you are not all being invited into the city proper right now. The Harbormaster was unable to immediately help us, but we were able to get an audience before a rich merchant who may be able to help. He has invited us to dinner this evening, where you can make a case for your people,” he continues.

Petcan scratches his chin and shrugs. “I have enough money to lose a gold piece and not starve, yet.”
He gets up to go join the game, putting down a gold piece. “Doubles?”

Petcan makes a great show with the dice, calling on the divine in a sing-song nonsense rhyme he makes up on the spot.
“Double, doubles! Gods of luck! Help me roll well! Please don’t suck!”

Seems fair to Ceo, who fully realizes and appreciates the skill it would take to craft these.
