Scourges are actually unmodded; whips are the only weapon with RAW changes. Mostly because whips velocity of 5x combined with its hit area of 1 is silly and needed nerfed, while scourge's only have velocity of 2x and hit are of 10, which feels a lot more fair (that's the same as a morningstar or warhammer actually, though obviously other stats are different).

I am still worried about zeps doing meaningful damage with the scourge's pitiful penetration depth. I feel like it'll be pretty unlikely to hit vitals with it, so I think zeps will probably need to rely on just inflicting lots of pain and bleeding. But we'll see

It seems like most folks are betting on Carabella the Fast, but I’m going to stick with my boy Logem. Hopefully he can avoid getting pincushioned.

100 gold on Logem Branchsyrup the wolverine man.

Right, only whip was modded, cool! Maybe the pain will be enough to render the beast unconscious.

I also am interested in seeing carabella fight. I can't fathom how a ranged character can succeed in this tournament.

[Warzagg]

A ranged character winning is going to largely rely on a lucky hit, even more than usual. A good hit can end a fight in one shot, but if they miss or fail to land a telling blow, they usually get wrecked. I'm not going to underestimate Carabella after what happened to Squirtplank in his fight.

Ine’s manager Meng slips 40 on zeps, hoping his family consortium doesn’t get word of it.

The delegation from the Learned Order of Brass and Fire will place a bet of 60 gold on Stimraug's victory.

Meng comes to Ine with news…

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 Meng approaches Ine, looking sketchier than normal.  A bundle is looped around his shoulder. “Fighter?”

Ine looks over from his training dummy cobbled together from debris that Meng’s family had brought him.  “What news from the arena, Meng?”

Meng looks abashed and scratches at his scaly ears with his taloned fingers.

“Arena Bosses say… arena bosses say Meng not follow rules right.  Meng cut corners.”

Meng shrinks back from Ine’s scowl.

“Meng fix for Fighter, but all things Meng say OK for next round not allowed. Fighter have faith, can survive with gear and training Meng provide.  Arena bosses send over ‘bonded’ package of gear, you use next fight.  Arena instructor come tomorrow tell you what moves allowed not allowed next fight. Fighter not tell uncles or consortium?”

The gremlin glances furtively around for any member of his family or his uncles business partners, the consortium that have sunk large sums into Ines success.

Ine turns back to the training dummy. “Meng I’ll believe in you this time, and because of all the training on ant people fighting, and you putting me up in a nicer place this round.  Just be careful.”

Ine resumes his practice with a wooden sword and doesn’t notice Meng slipping out the side door.

I know! Also I no longer have a gladiator to protect me. I've therefore come to the logical conclusion that my money is a lot safer when stored in the betting office.

Last minute submission of a 33☼ bet onHorof Dreadhoof by some of Sweetteeths entourage...:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

*two dwarves are milling about the bookie's office, mumbling to themselves, apparently not in agreement what to do*


"... but Urdim, should we really put it all in, who knows if we need more for campaigning? Think of what Mörul will say, Urdim?"
"Aah, screw Mörul. He will be glad if we come back with a hefty win. 33☼ aren't much use for him anyway, are they now."
"But Urdim... we already lost half the money betting on that capybara. Sweetteeth wouldn't even have liked rodent blood, I think..."
"And how is that my fault? It looked like a sure bet! I could have sworn, I already felt the bucks in my pocket, Ezum... but eh, you win some, you loose some."
"So who do you think we should bet on now, Urdim? They all look pretty tough..."
"Ezum, once you have been to a couple of tourneys, like I have, you know it all comes down to nerves in the later rounds. It's all psychology, Ezum, everything. Bet on the finest swords-technique, and the sod will get panicked and slip on his own guts. You gotta bet on a real fighter. One who is just in it for the blood, ya know."
"Sure, Urdim, I think I got it. We should bet on that squirrel lady with the adamantine knife, she is a fierce one, woof..!
"No Ezum, not the soddin' squirrel, you idiot... I meant the FUCKIN MINOTAUR with his FUCKIN 6 FOOT AXE, Ezum!"

*the dwarf named Urdim walks up to the bookie and places a sack with 33☼ in it on the table*
"Hr-hrm... 33 bucks on Hoof-Hoof the minotaur, that axe-wieldin' one. By the team of Sweetteeth, if you'd be so kind."
