STAGE FIVE - Gambling With Gobbos - Optional play!
As you make your way through the marsh you come upon an unexpected sight -- a small group of Gobbos congregating around a couple of small plants.
They seem to be having some kind of conversation, which of course you can't make out because you don't speak their language. As it turns out, you were not the only who was curious about why this group of Gobbos was here.
You hear what appears to be a female voice talking in a human language, followed by more unintelligible stuff. Finally you hear some words that you can make out -- "What do you mean?"
The animal responds, and it clearly sounds pissed off. The way it screamed easily gets everyone's attention, including the Gobbos. But at the moment, all you can see are the group of heroes with you and the group of Gobbos. One Gobbo suddenly falls down, and then all hell breaks loose amongst the Gobbos as a little chicken appears to materialize from thin air and starts beating the crap out of all the Gobbos.
"Piyopiyopiyo... piyo piyo piyo!" the chicken shouts as it engages in combat with the group of Gobbos.
A woman then materializes, also seemingly from thin air. By the time you realize that she and the chicken had been under an invisibility spell, the little chicken had finished killing off all but two Gobbos, and the two Gobbos still alive clearly look as if they have been maimed and will soon die just like the others. You observe the chicken roll up the pair of Gobbos, each into their own ball, and start rolling them in your direction. The woman is also flying towards you, carrying what seems to be a rather large handbag. You wonder what's going on here...
As the woman and the chicken get closer, you are able to make out their faces and realize that they are heroes that you have heard of before: Meteora and Chick Norris. As Chick Norris continues to roll the pair of Gobbos towards you, Meteora floats down to the ground and opens up her handbag, pulling out a spellbook. She opens up the spellbook and chants, causing a table to appear before you. Meteora then sets her handbag down on the table, and you can see inside that the handbag contains a rolled-up piece of paper and what appears to be a lot of coins.
Meteora pulls the paper and 4 "coins" out of her handbag, and lays them out on the table in front of you. Upon closer inspection, you realize the "coins" are actually the same banked life points that you have been collecting since the beginning of your adventure. Apparently, Meteora must have picked up a bunch in a previous tournament and is now using it to bankroll some kind of operation.
You open up the paper and see some instructions:
Gambling Gobball Rules
Gambling Gobball is an entertaining, but optional game of chance for those who are adventurous. If you do not wish to play, simply walk away -- but be warned, you cannot change your mind once you leave!
The cost to play Gambling Gobball is a wager of 1 banked life point. Should you win, you'll get paid 4-1 on your bet (you get your banked life point back and you win 4 more).
The game begins with two Gobbos (most likely wounded and/or maimed) on the ground. The "dealer" will pick one up and throw it into the air. You must then pick the other one up and throw it at the first Gobbo, so that the two collide. If one Gobbo is thrown with greater force than the other, then one Gobbo will survive the collision and the other one will die. If both are thrown with the same amount of force, then both Gobbos will die upon impact. To win the game and your wager, both Gobbos must die.
You roll the paper back up as Meteora stares at you with a smile. The odds are not in your favor, but the potential prize could end up making all the difference in your quest for glory. You've got a decision to make -- care to gamble with Gobbos?
Special Rules For This Stage
First things first -- this stage is optional. However, just like all the other stages, there is a STEEM prize to be split amongst all players who succeed on their first attempt. (Unlike the other stages, if you play you get only one attempt.)
HOW TO PLAY
Chick Norris is the "dealer". You should see a 
Items have no effect on this stage. You must roll a perfect match to win, and you must do so with a Gobbo summon of your own.
These are the only possible outcomes on this stage:
- You skip the stage (nothing happens).
- If you lose the stage, you score -1 banked life point.
- If you win the stage, you score +4 banked life points and share in the STEEM prize for this stage. (Success here does not count towards the 3 flawless victories required to level up.)
If you comment that you're skipping this stage, you can't change your mind later. If you start playing Stage 6 first, you are also considered to have skipped this stage. In either case, if you try to roll here after skipping, your roll will be rejected.
Good Luck!
