Gambling

Description: 


 * Games of chance, whether betting on tossed bones or knives thrown into a corkboard target, and virtually every little grotto or waystation favorite way to tempt fate.


 * Oceanborn are generally fearless, if poor, gamblers, and particularly suspect to having it as a vice. This is something which the wise Surfacer is very cautious about when taking advantage.
 * Many Oceanborn when seeking trade in a grotto or waystation, even after agreeing to a fair barter, will often consent to gamble on a 'winnter takes all' basis. So long as both have an equal stake in the pot.
 * Most Oceanborn are good losers - unless it is a podmate they feel has been cheated or there is pre-existing bad blood, then it invariably leads to violence.
 * It is a very foolish Surfacer that gambles with an Oceanborn, these days.
