Eldin points to the burnt rock and the broken glass and says, "I already tested my idea. It worked great, albeit not exactly how I expected it. I'll be using my new creation next battle."
Baryk has gotten his fill of partying tonight. Exhausted, he bids the Lounge patrons goodnight and retires to his private quarters. Before going to bed, he begins reading his tattered, Elvish spellbook. He felt his connection to the weave grow after that last match. It's time he tried something new... Baryk takes takes out a brazier filled with charcoal and begins burning incence. As the room fills with a pleasant smell, he makes gestures with his hand as yellow energy crackles around his palm and fingertips. As he clenches his hand, the energy is absorbed into his ring. Baryk does this again before feeling drained. He then goes to bed and prepares to wake up early for more training.

You really think so?! That would be a step in the right direction for me. Grianne walk with confidence through town, holding Eldins hand the entire time.

Marmaduke, a Halfling girl approaches you with an eager smile. She tells you she works for Greycastle Lounge and she thinks you and her bosses could manage a mutually beneficial relationship.
"The way I see it we aren't equipped to set profitable odds in the Lounge. Meanwhile you're probably ill-equipped to handle some of the larger wagers here. So we'd simply like for you to set our odds when it's applicable, and in exchange you'll receive a part of our vig. Also if someone here places a large bet where they are able to watch the action, we'll make sure you don't go under, in exchange for part of yours."
(I'll clarify the details for this exchange if all parties are onboard.)
(Whew! Glad I didn't finish this other post first)
Marmaduke is still seething a little after the battle when the halfling approaches, but will hear her out all the same. Following a brief pause to think and eye the girl warily, she feigns exasperation with a huff and smirk. "Ookay. You and your bosses certainly have my attention. So. How shall we properly start this?"

(Players can wager at the Glory or the Lounge with the same effect. The Lounge will take in NPC wagers and I'll roll those just like I do with MD, both parties will see an increase. But when players bet, Baryk, Shmitty, and MD will recieve a third of the gain or loss. Assuming Baryk, Shmitty, and Marmaduke aren't betting on the match. If they do the wager will play between the other two. Thus the risk of a 1000gp bet is less significant.)

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Morthos will look around for the Tiefling he fought in the pits. I have no clue for where she is, so im gonna just do this either (:/) Investigation: 10
Marmaduke tries her best to put on her best calm veneer, but a bit of drool escapes the side of her lip as eyes gleam with renewed interest. She snaps to attention real quick realizing silence growing between them. And after curtly wiping her mouth followed by coughing awkwardly into a fist, she straightens out her back for a more dignified pose and says, "Tell them we have a deal. And come tomorrow. You'll have your odds and then some."

We need to see if its even possible. I don't know if my writing is good enough yet either. Do we you know anyone in town that could help ?

Eldin thinks for a while and says, "Not anyone in particular but we could try the library and then try to find someone who can help if that fails"
Persuasion (if needed): 12
As good a place to start as any. But since we are all the way out here, do you first want to test your plan ?

Ok man since there has been no reply to my questions I guess I'll just just use the power of plot or something.
Banjo Man did not find a venue, so the play will be held at a public square. There are flyers at every large place where people gather:
PLAY AT PUBLIC SQUARE
ADMISSION 1 SILVER PIECE
Banjo Man productions presents:
10,000 SPIDERS SET LOOSE IN THE THEATRE
Walton Gibson - Human Cleric, Level 1
(Sorry, you got it right though.)
Everywhere you inquire is very skeptical and ultimately proves to be 'booked for the foreseeable future' or 'washing my hair that night'.

Must have been the fact that I am not a famous playwright.
Or maybe the spiders.
But probably the first one

Well then, shall we head back to the Library ? Grianne asks with a smile that, combined with her new makeup, causes her to gleam more than normal.
