ACTACTACT: Bet 12.73F on Olybeth Win

A full-kitted adventurer against a single rat...?  Not complaining, but this seems like a remarkably easy way for all players to double their money.  I'm not sure what method you're using to determine the odds, but if the rate of return on these bets is above what you intend for regular adventuring then perhaps you should consider more modest returns on bets.

That's not how that works. You pay the money, and get a (virtual) betting slip. If you win, you turn it in and get whatever the payout is. Either way, you do not get to keep your original bet.

Then why have a payout below 1F?

Did someone offer you that? Because that would be a scam.  :P

Nope, I just have terrible reading comprehension and saw 90F and 40F as 0.9F and 0.4F, lol.

A note on how all the various Row settings work:

0. If you run out of ammo your preferred range is set to 0. As we will see later this doesn't mean you run headfirst into melee.
1. Last row means you will either (a) go to your preferred range or (b) if that is in front of someone in the Front or Leader row go to 1 foot behind them.
2. Front row means you will either (a) go to your preferred range or (b) if that is in front of someone in the Leader row go to abreast with them (distance of 0 ft)
3. Leader row means you will got to your preferred range. No row is the same (but you don't influence people in the Front row)

Note: that means that if all adventurers in the the front/leader rows die, your Last row adventurer might go into melee. But not before.

Q: What if I want my adventurer to go into melee after they've run out of ammo?
A: Set their row to literally anything other than Last.

Please don't make me pay out partial pfennigs- it's not like you can buy anything for them.

Also if anyone manages to get any green goo in their expeditions I'll buy them off your hand for 0.12F instead of what you get for selling them as regular loot. Since I need a big stock full.

A Troglodyte King has at least 17 health, at most 22. Can deal 2 damage at least. Drops a sceptre. And a Cave Dog has 12 agility.

Sorry, but

Turnabout is fair play, I guess.

New collectible: Faded arquebus diagram piece! Collect 3 of these to convert into Precursor Firearm Diagram (which is a recipe.)

New rule for inns (changes nothing currently): There are only so many adventurers willing to come to the island. Specifically two adventurers of level 2. if you want them to come to your inn, you have to advertise (with money. This is basically a bid, like any other.) The top two inns will get adventurers, the rest may still be used for bedrest, but will not get adventurers.
