Logem doesn't mind being the underwolverine one little bit... all the better to stab their underbelly!

287 gold on Logem Branchsyrup

Wow. I believe Kesperan has just won adventurer mode.

One day you're betting on the victory of a blood cult warrior priest, and the next day he's short a head and you're down 100 gold. Such is life. The Committee from the Glowing Marshes has an appreciation for sharp blades and great ambition, and bets 100 gold on Logem Branchsyrup.

Unfortunately, you only have 43 gold to bet at current, having won 43☼ in your round 2 bet and lost 100☼ in round 3. Priest Ndrog was a clear favourite among bettors in match 2N (249☼ from 3 bettors against 57☼ from 1), so the payout was relatively low.

I gotta say the matches before my next one have been ones where I felt the odds were stacked in my favour. The beast however has an unconventional build and strengths that make it very dangerous. If I was a betting armadillo man, I might consider betting against myself.

Oh dear. Well, the Committee bets the rest of their gold on Logem anyway. Also, I wouldn't bet against you, Stimraug. Your fighter has overcome serious odds just to get this far, and I've seen far stranger things than an armadillo man besting a minotaur.

I am ambushed by humans, and for a change, they do not drop dead immediately. I bash the master with my ladle, and he is propelled away. While in mid-air, he dies of old age.

The dwarf bets everything on the minotaur of Spearimpale! Again! He is seen to grumble and glare on his way to and from the betting counter today.

The beast is quiet in its cell.
