The gnome chuckles and reaches up, gently pinching your hip.<br/><br/>"Now now, Lis-ra, surely you know it's not nice to tease peo-ple for the way they talk." Gioria does her best to sound authoritative, but the grin on her face doesn't exactly scream indignation. "You will h-ave to let me run some tests in the fu-ture. I can p-romise you won't blow up... well, most likely not..."<br/><br/>With that, the gnome takes one last glance over your body and then puts her tools away before striding back into the main room of the tavern, to where D'Tocka and Stumpy are waiting.<br/><br/>"W-ell, that's that." The gnome wipes her hands together and moves to the bar, where the two coin purses still sit untouched.<br/><br/>"So, you get some good loot there, girlie?"The half orc's voice is jovial, but she seems like she is anxious to be on her way. You get the feeling that she's not very good at sitting still or waiting. "Hell, if ya don't want it, just put it on the line... That way, you can keep your coins when I win our little bet..."<br/><br/>Again, you can tell that she's speaking without malice. If anything, it's more like the warrior boasts of the Ulfen, meant to inspire courage on the battlefield. Still, she does seem pretty convinced of her impending victory...<br/><br/>Once you are both in the room, Stumpy reaches up onto the bar and collects both coin purses, depositing them in a safe behind the bar. As he does, Gioria climbs onto the bar, doing her best announcer voice.<br/><br/>"Al-right, ladies! D'Tocka's challenge is three hours north, Lis' is three hours east... First one b-ack with con-firmation of completion gets the purse! Good l-uck, ladies!"
