This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
An out of breathe and weathered old dwarf man in full on purple garb and bearing an equally stand out red afro will drift into the glory about 15 minutes before the match between wizards and hunter (post #10158 of the arena). After taking a brief moment to add an amend a hand made post directing folk to seek out the 'purple worm', he make the rounds a certain dwarven woman did the previous day before finding a seat at the bar to request a drink. Now beneath the poorly 'okay-ish' illustration are times of availability being placed around mid-morning matches up to the final matches in the evening.
When folk go to seek out 'Purple Worm' and vice versa, one Nevlin Frostcrag will motion to them, claiming to have the blessings of the 'Purple Worm'. It seems after hearing the concerns about the previous commission and given the "special" nature of the next match, the 'Purple Worm' has decided to change things up a bit by introducing variable betting. However, the minimum a stake can be no less than 5gp. The Vig has also been changed to reflect it.
The following information has also been passed along to appropriate folk at the Lounge even earlier on account of it having to be hand delivered (a better method wasn't worked out before now as far as I'm aware. >.>). (Also, DM Bdiddlybo! For the love mike jones, correct me quickly if I misinterpreted anything. XD)
S/N: Bets will for this match remain open until the end of the 2nd official round. A gambler can bet on multiple categories, but only once per. All bets are FINAL.
Stakes/Vig(commission): Min: 5gp Vig: 10% of stake. (ie. 5gp = 5sp vig or 100gp = 10gp)
First to Fall: 5 to 1: Eider 4 to 1: Toren 2 to 1: Baryk 3 to 1: The Masked Hunter
Winning Team:
4 to 2: Eider and Toren 2 to 4: Baryk and The Masked Hunter

"It is a truly long story. I'm taking the assumption none of you have heard of spelljammimg vessels, so I'll basically explain: spelljammimg ships were used long ago to travel into space. Long ago, when I was still alive, I crashed my ship into the deepest area of the marsh. The job is simple: help me find it. The pay will be decided by how well you work, simple as that."
"You would assume correctly. Can't say that I have much experience working with Marshes. But if its anything like the shadowfell, it shouldn't be problem."
Gell puffs out his chest confidently, then looks over to Zevryl.
"How long you think we will be out there?"

Morthos searches for Nara in all the wrong places, but if she is around she can interact with you as she wishes.
Marmaduke. If you've got odds for the next fight Grianne is looking.

Banjo Man, continuing his trend of putting up signs, puts up a sign at The Glory:
Adventurers needed!
Look for Banjo Man at the Greycastle Lounge.
Walton Gibson - Human Cleric, Level 1
Zevryl heads over to banjo man at the greycastle lounge.
"I saw yer sign. Whaddya want?"
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
Gell isn't too far behind Zevryl.
"Indeed. What's the pay?"

"We don't even know what it is an' yer already askin' about th' pay?"
Zevryl mumbles something under his breath.
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
"Obviously if it pays well, then the job is either ludicrous or very difficult. Either way, it will be good training."
Gell glares half-halfheartedly at the tiefling.

Morthos will go to the glory and give 90 GP to the bar men saying "Just keep the ale coming.."
Morthos will take a seat at a table and get drunk...
"Th' pay better be worth missin' a few days o' work!"
Zevryl thinks for a moment.
"Eh, sure!"
(What is Gell(race, class)?)
"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
((Gell is a half-orc sorcerer, but with the mask and clothing looks more like half-elf monk))
"That's the spirit, little devil. Surely it can't be that hard to find a ship of all things in the middle of a marsh."
