>All bets are off!  Fatesmith, the bookie known throughout Bastion for having the latest information and the inside scoop on the League Conferences, has decided to close down his bookmaking business.  All remaining bets will be paid out, and then that's it!  Well, guess that's all folks.

===== The Antidote =====

"Strikes me you've got a bit of a problem."  Fatesmith quips.

"Yeah we do - you keep selling that crap to our trainers, and their monsters keep wrecking our stands! The Arena is charging us through the nose for the repairs, and we lost a couple handlers last week when they couldn't calm Snailigator down.  We would like to politely request that you stop.  Failing that we would like to point out that we have a lot of heavily armed monster handlers with a grudge."  The UMBC manager is red in the face - partly from anger, and partly from being ordered by Bullhorn to go and sort this out.

"How about a better solution - sure, the serum makes the monsters more agressive, but it gives your lot the fights they want.  Well, what if I said I had an antidote - a little thing to add to your xenon to counteract it once the match is over.  You get a good fight, you don't get mauled, I get paid.  Win/win/win.  Oh, and before you threaten me, you should probably know that I fed a good dose of the serum to Tick just before you came in, and she's waiting in the hall.  There's a vial of antiserum as the first bit of the supply if you'll just sign this contract."
