Marmaduke will spend the day beginning to work on making a 2nd level scroll ofFalse Life in between making her usual rounds. BUT, not before finding Toren, and Rothander apparently some deal about a partnership of some sort.

She really needed slap Zalandra's upside head for running off after passing her the news of the day.
For Those Interested In Placing Bets on the Level 9 Match:
(Someone please help me come up with better names!)
There have been a few changes for the Rank(/level) 3. Bets will still remain open until the conditions for 1st to Fall section have been met. Variable betting has been temporarily restructured so that the minimum stake can be no lower than 10 gp, and maximum set to 200gp with a 10% Vig. (S/N: Deal with Toren is still in the works, but won't be available for this match).
(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.
Competitors are allowed to place a bet either personally or by a proxy. HOWEVER, they are restricted to placing said bet upon their team's victory or personally achieving 1st Blood(when applicable).
In the event of a draw (not sure if that's even possible), bets will be refunded (at cost to MD) in regards to any placed on a final winning team.
Those that don't understand the format change are free to ask for clarification.
Lastly, all bets are FINAL.
Stakes/Vig(commission): Min: 10gp Max: 200gp
Vig: 10%
1st Blood(to draw):
3.5 Polly-hedron of Blades 2.5 Calgin the Living Menagerie 2.0 Eldin, Hell's Inquisitor 1.5 Grianna of the 1,000 Beast
1st to Fall: 3.5 Eldin, Hell's Inquisitor 2.5 Grianna of the 1,000 Beast 2.0 Calgin the Living Menagerie 1.5 Polly-hadron of Blades
Wining Team: 3.0 Beauty & The Bodacious (Grianna & Polly) 1.5 Fangs of the Black (Eldin & Calgin)

Og will chortle his own genius, and slap Morthos rather violently on the back.
(After this discussion finishes, Og will purchase scribing materials, and begin work on a slightly different scroll this time.)
(He'll be making this scroll at the bar, cuz why not.)
When he next appears, for the first time he'll be wearing a shield, and have a shiny stick strapped to his back instead of a maul.

Calgin sends a runner from the prep room to bet 200g on his own team and another 200g on himself to draw first blood (If those are the only 2 bids I'm allowed to make, I might as well go with it! Especially since this might be Calgin's last fight), paying the 40g big up front as well, handing over 440g total.
