Keygella walks up to Marmaduke with a sad look on her face "Sorry I'm late boss I got tied up bidding Jessica farewell." Looking around "Have I missed anything?"
"Thank Mya." Marmaduke mutters under her breathe, and then rotates in her seat. "Mountain! Perfect timing! You're right on time." She looks back to Swiggs. "So, um, I, business -- okay bye!" She hops out of her seat, and starts dragging Keygella away by the hand to an unoccupied booth at just the right angle to still see the bar if at all possible.
"Okay, so, right to business then? In a few hours, I'll be sending you with one of my runners. It's a pretty straight-forward. Watch out for'im. Learn the route. And report back here once he delivers the message for the second half of business. Okay?" She asks.
Later that day...
Marmaduke makes the usual rounds with a bit more pep to her step. Perhaps something good happened?

(Also For those interested in Betting on the Level 5 Match:)
For those wishing to place bets:
When folk go to seek out the 'Purple Worm' and vice versa, she apologizes for the delay yet again. In an effort to make up for it however, bets will remain open until the conditions for 1st to Fall section have been met. Variable betting will also remain in place, as well as the minimum stake being at least 5 gp. She's also changed up the format to make it easier to read.
(Stake x Odds = Payout(-Minus Stake, though it is returned as part of payout))
S/N Rulings:
For this match, bets will remain open until someone falls.
A gambler can bet on multiple categories, but only once per.
And to clarify, methods of incapacitation that do not involve a takedown (ie. Competitor being reduced to 0 hp) only qualifies as a 1st to fall IF said competitor REMAINS incapacitated until the match ends.
If multiple competitors are rendered incapacitated at the same time via the above method, and remain that way until the end of the match, the stake is considered a loss. In such an event, all proceeds is divided and funneled back into the arena to support future matches (or so she says at least)
If vig/commission is not paid upfront, it will be taken out of the winnings.
In the event of a draw (not sure if that's even possible), bets will be refunded (at cost to MD).
Those that don't understand the format change are free to ask for clarification.
Lastly, all bets are FINAL.
Stakes/Vig(commission): 5gp Min Vig: 10% of stake(s)
First to Fall: 5.8: Nykkan Far-fig-newton 4.6: Tenrok'n Everywhere 4.0: Liam O' Weak 3.7: Obs Gone Wild 2.5: Lasser Vision 1.5: Fifty Shades of Blaque
(S/N: If any have suggestions in the future for preferred categories(ie. Number of takedowns, Points taken, etc), just let me know and I'll take it into advisement.)

(Yes Dm. Does he get XP for soloing not one but two encounters with a CR 2 Monste--I mean, PC?)
"Just what I like to hear. Now, a few words of warning before you go on this job. All of this-..." She circles the air. "Is kind of a new thing. So, the kid might be a bit touchy about having you around. My advice? Get to know'im when can. In fact, if want time-.. *clears throat* Sorry. Sometimes dwarvish slips in. Where was I? Right! If you would like, you can take right after this job to, I dunno, hangout with him and the other runners for a bit. Just make sure to let me know, and I'll make the necessary arrangements."
(You'd not get any xp for work done out of the arena. This is first and foremost a PvP campaign. Anything you do here in this thread is purely for character development.)
((Makes sense. It stops players from only doing outside jobs to level up their character and then joining a fight, or waiting forever for a PC to get to their level, and wrecking face.))
(The only way this could take a worse turn is if Banjo Man got involved. Thankfully for you, he's working.
But his shift doesn't last forever
