First Annual Owlbear Races; Where you can win some extra in game cash.

Every summer, Duke Hightower holds a competition quite different from the traditional jousting and archery tournaments held by similar lords of his station. The rules of his tournament change from year to year, and, to oversee the games, the duke has appointed two wizard brothers who help choose the setting and create the rules and challenges of the competition. This year the competition is called the “Owlbear Run,” an overland race that requires each participating team to escort a live owlbear from the town of Telvorn to the town of Milvorn.

Jinlat Double-Take has informed you that he is in charge of taking wagers on the owlbear race this year and has provided you with the stats of each owlbear. The stats are provided below, and the race is taking place in a week. Since you are in the Forgotten Realms, you will not be able to attend the race this year, but if it is successful, Duke Hightower may hold them again next year.

(The list is formatted as follows: Owlbear Name - Owner - Odds)

The Competitors

  • Lucky Lady - Lady Fazghard, Dwarf Diplomat - 4:1
  • Kitten - Lord Burl, Sheriff - 3:1
  • Manslayer - Lord Kalvin the Disgraced - 2:1
  • Terrible Tharizdun - Sir Tomire, Knight - 4:1


Wagers
The minimum wager you can make on any given owlbear is 10gp. You may place bets on more than one. You may also double your return by predicting the placement of each owlbear.
Example: I wager 25 gp on Kitten, and it wins the race. I win back 75gp. Alternatively, if I wager that Kitten is going to come in 2nd place and it does, I win back 150gp.

Wagers will be accepted until May 8th (in the real world of course) at noon. This board will be closed and the winner of race will be announced at 2pm that same day. The winner of the race will be determined using a statistically balanced randomizer.

Please leave your wagers in the following format:
Basic wager Name - Money wagered.
Advanced wager Name - place - money wagered.

Kaethe walks in and puts her entire purse of 600 gold onto the desk. "150 gold pieces on each owlbear for second place, please," She asks politely, straight-faced.

Kitten - 2nd place - 150gp
Manslayer - 2nd place - 150gp
Lucky Lady - 2nd place - 150gp
Terrible Tharizdun - 2nd place - 150gp

Since I won't have time to address this tomorrow like I said I would, I'm doing it now.

The results are:
1st place: Manslayer
2nd place: Terrible Tharizdun
3rd place: Lucky Lady
4th place: Kitten

The payouts are as follows:

Shaorin Kellistar - Gain 80gp after losing 20gp
Orion Prax - Gain 800gp after losing 150gp
Kaethe - Gain 1600gp after losing 600 gp
Rokke - Lose 25gp

Please apply these values to your characters' money amount.
