Rolls
Kuildeous
    Dice: 2+1+4+6+4=17
    OATBB: 0+0+4+6+4=14
    Bet: 5
    Loses 5 to the Gladiator and dies to the Gladiator

Qvist
    Dice: 4+5+1=10
    Juggling: 9
    Sack: 10
    Bet: 1
    Loses 1 to the Gladiator Returns to death after the gladiator hits him.
   
The group was in shambles, none of them had made it to the end of the Gauntlet like they claimed they would do easily in a number of silly ways. Their blood stained the Volcano but would soon be burned off from the intense heat of the Volcano. They did have an ongoing wager though as to who would collect the most gold would be the winner. So let's see how they stack up.

1) Voltgloss: 19
2) Jorbles: 14
3) Kuildeous: 10
4) Robz: 9
5) Galzria: 2
6) Qvist: 0

Yeah, if I would have forfeited even before the first encounter, I would have had more Gold than now.

Ironically, he's really good at it.

Interesting little fact. The expected value of a single 6-sided die is normally 3.5. When you drop the 1s and 2s, the expected value is exactly 3.

So, four dice are expected to be 14, but if you have one arm tied behind your back, that expected value drops to 12. It's not insignificant, but it's not horrible. Although, you watch: I'll lose to a monster by 2 points, and I lament not having both hands free.

I have been forced to accept that lackluster play is a town tell for you.

Ozle, and I didn't think to put a ruling in that makes sense for Gladiator wagers.  CURSE YOU FRINGE CASES!

Well, and Game #1 was completely brand new. At least we were able to look at that game and extrapolate a little bit of what needs to be done.

It was still a sad state of affairs, but I think it still helped.
