In the darkest alley of the Slums, this one, strange shop can be found if you dare to take a look. Hidden behind a rusty wooden door and lighted with the limited strength of two torches, the entrance is right by your sight... Simply grab the cold metallic handle and step inside... If you dare...
A dim-lighted area is what awaits you inside. Tables are sullied with rotten foods and empty bottles, some chairs and tables turned upside down, probably from previous fights. A few holes, probably created by some gun bullets, can be seen all over the room. The lamps that are hanging from the ceiling constantly cradle themselves as they try to light the room as best they can...
Up front is the main counter, one that is just as unclean as the tables and the floor (which is very sticky in some places). Upon the wooden structure stands a woman, one most likely in her twenties.
The woman in question is of average height, perhaps around five feet five inches. Her short silver and black hair barely reaches her shoulders, and her ocean-blue eyes are scanning the area gingerly... As she sees you looking around, she invites you to the counter, onto which two torches stood. "Welcome, traveler," she greets you. "Do you know where you are? This is an old tavern; but because of many deaths, it was shut down." She chuckled lightly. "Does that scare you already? Oh, but don't leave just yet..."
She brings onto the counter a few papers, ones speaking of a certain tournament at Nesai Arena; they mention Keystones and bets... Curious, you decide to take a quick look while trying to keep an eye on possible upcoming firearms...
.:Rules on Betting:.
*If you were right and won, your winning money shall the double of the amount you bet.*
*If you wish to bet, please make sure to Bold your bet, and how many Keystones you wish to bet. You need a minimum of 20 Keystones to have a valid bet.*
*Bets shall not be cancelled. If you bet on a contestant, you bet on that one, and that's that.*
*You may not bid on multiple battlers. You may bet on a single one.*
*Do not donate the Keystones to anyone; they shall be subtracted from you automatically.*
*Do not PM me to bet or to receive your winning money; they shall be distributed in due time, and your bet shall be noted down as soon as I can.*
"Simply enough, yes?" the Ancient Kuhna asks, hoping you've understood everything. "Now... Let us go onto the second page."
.:Special Arena Sale:.
*Depending on various and random circumstances, if you choose to place your bet here, your amount of Keystones will be multiplied by three. Yes, you've read this right: three times your original bet! However, be wary; the conditions here may not always be easy to fill...*
*Be aware that you must choose this type of betting by the first round! You cannot use this in between rounds; or else you'd be able to anticipate the final outcome of the tournament. You must apply to this bet before the first round!*
"Think you can fit into those?" she asks you with an icy chuckle. "So many have lost when bidding... but when you win... the amount is worth it... I heard you may obtain more than three times your amount. But then again, that's rare too." She then indicates you to the third and final page...
.:Betting Types:.
*You may bet on one of the two leading pets. What does this mean? It means, basically, that you have to base your bet on one of the two first pets that are going to battle! So, basically, you get to bet every round of the tournament! Be careful, however; there is a limit of 150 Keystones, so your maximum bet can only be 75 Keystones per round. We call this betting type Luck Struck.
* NOTE: You must wait for the match-up grid to come out before using this bet! If you just take a wild guess, your bet will be voided.*
*You may select the pet you wish to bid on for the whole tournament. This means you can bet on any of the fighters; and every round the pet fights in and wins, 20 Keystones get added to your initial bet. Add that to your amount, and if your fighter wins, your total amount gets multiplied by two! You cannot earn more than 500 Keystones, however. We call this betting type Luck Seeker.*
With the rules finally inside your head, do you feel like betting? Quite simple, you simply need to ask the lady here at the desk... "By the way," she calls to you, waving her hand. "I am known as Nickeldime. Any bets to put in, just call me."
