Fishman Casino

• Watch the fishmen's gambling game.
• Gamble with the fishmen for 10 to find fishman roe.
  • It seems to take 1-3 tries. The game tracks how many times you've watched, but it's unclear whether that affects your chances.
• Buy a fishman concoction for 20 .
• Cryptobotanist: Gather sordid grease.

Notes

Poker games are randomly generated Mad Libs. After winning the roe you cannot watch any more. An example round:

You continue watching.

The other player places another eggy bet. Once again the dealer gives the pebbles and nails to the other fishman who then tosses them vigorously onto the table. The croupier frowns and makes a sweeping gesture, then picks up the nails and pebbles and hands them back to the player. The player makes a grumbly "bluh" sound, then tosses them on the table again.

The croupier seems impressed. He nods at the player, who picks up one of the nails and tosses it again. The croupier adds a large pile of eggs to the player's bet, and the player grabs them with a burbling cry of joy and greed.

• D (occasionally):

  • The croupier looks at the nails and pebbles and shakes his head. The player makes an argumentative noise and points at one of the nails - the croupier sighs and peers at it closer, then shakes his head defiantly and takes the player's eggs. The player pouts.
  • The croupier nods at the player, who picks up one of the nails and carefully drops it again. He makes a satisfied "glug!" as the croupier adds a few more eggs to his pile.
