Posts from Reimian Empire Auto-translated

I wanted to quickly take a look, but I don't have time right now. From what I found and remembered, the top ones are: Shabet (~7-8 + almost all in the bad ending); Novara (8+, "bad ending" with cards); Reimis Empire (7-8, in progress). The others are clearly lower, maybe 4-5, except I don't remember about Lapistia.

In the current game, 1-3 characters died: Nebka, Seliad, Livia, 2-3 characters of Alex, and 2 of Siva. Something like that.

Poor Tria. They shouldn't have given her suicidal tendencies. She was my favorite.

This time, Melissa managed to both entertain the audience and herself. With a shout directly into his opponent's ear, "A-ha-ha, now I'm going to kill you!!!", he delivered his most treacherous blow, but the knight managed to react, although it didn't help him.
When the battle ended and paramedics with a bag of lifeless pastries ran onto the field, Scammerfield sat down right on the ground to observe the process and catch his breath.
"You're agile for your build, even too much," he said to the bull who had just opened his eyes, admiring the wide, bloody streaks on the blade. "Thank you for entertaining my friend; he was getting bored."
The agent stood up, nodded to his opponent, bowed, and waved to the crowd before leaving the field, cheerfully waving Silas in the air like a child with a stick.

I don't remember much about Lapistia, though.

James, Osama, a mentalist necromancer, Koshi the swordsman, Hodges, Sifa the archer, and possibly Sarnissa, if you want to count her. I might have forgotten someone. I can definitely say that there would have been more deaths if I hadn't taken Resurrection. I still remember making a melee character with a touch of magic, and instead of that, I ran around the battlefield and resurrected fallen comrades. Well, at least my character avoided... never mind.

Experts, what's the latest on the bets? Who should we bet on?

Preliminary:
Halmedir > Alaria
Sellan < Scammis
Seong <= Miyuki
Dekrux > Jerl
Although this is just a preliminary ranking, and Jerl... It's surprising, I would say. I didn't expect him to win.

I agree with Ment's assessment. I will, of course, try to slightly improve my chances, but it probably won't make much of a difference.

Let Revan outline the stakes first.

I'm looking forward to that too.

Despite a string of victories, it was too early to celebrate. And Alaria understood this perfectly. In the next duel, she was to face one of her comrades – an Alait named Halmeldir. Based on her experience working with him, as well as observing the elf's duels, the Tanarrian understood that she had a very difficult opponent. To defeat him, she needed to consider all possible options. Including purchasing a new Reimy device – an enhancer. Therefore, for starters, Alaria headed to Reimford to check her meridians. Along the way, she also paid for an upgrade to "Triton."
Checking Alaria's meridians (-250 Rumy) and sharpening "Triton" to +1.

Good meridians, they fit the character's traits. However, they are not very useful against Arzach.

Just in case, here are the bets from the last round: 150 on Shyak, 500 on Melis, 200 on Selan, and 200 on Lepcia.
-- Jack, wake up. We lost our green bet.
-- Huh? -- Jack, who had dozed off after the first 20 minutes, opened his eyes and looked at the arena. -- So, no beer then.

Fortunately, the other duels were more interesting to watch.
-- It's time to make some serious money, buddy. No more small bets.
-- Uh-huh.
-- Well?
-- Hold on, there's going to be a serious fight here. I need to think, -- One-Eye lit his pipe and, after a few puffs, continued. -- The elf always wins in two or three hits. I don't think much will change now; the girl won't be able to withstand such blows for long. 600 on him. The kid can do it, he really can, so even if the winged one is strong, I'm betting 800 on him. The girl is quick, quicker than diarrhea, so 800 on her too. And finally, 250 on Dekrux, he's very unpredictable. But also very interesting.

Deciding that he was having a lucky day with his bets, Shyak once again wagered all his money on Scammis.

Just in case, here are the bets from the previous round:
