1. I can't remember where it's stated exactly but Mariko is the goddess of chance. Everytime you hear the ringing of the bell she's basically nudged the change to be a different one. For you this means you hear a ring and a coin flip is heads.1. In a less bitchy sounding topic (internet is horrid about that sort of thing), I've got a lore curiosity: Mariko has saved the players bacon a few times in various quests (you hear the ringing of a bell). So what is the "reason" that she doesn't employ this trick all the time? Like, I understand the player needs to go back and forth from hell for plot and such, mechanically. And also if there was no risk rewards wouldn't feel particularly fun.
2. But as the story is going along, Mariko is actually getting stronger, rather than weaker. ...Maybe she's sapped from training or bolstered Avee? Or something else is interfering? ...I suppose since she's on speaking terms with Death maybe she's been told to let you drop here and there to keep you honest? Dunno, haha.
Sounds like a fine weekend indeed!
Parting shots:
3. I can't remember - was there a specific look to Mariko's amulet along the surface? I.e. the logo or whatnot? I'll probably just do a flat silver disc sort of deal if there isn't.
4. When Foxy abducts the PC she breaks both bangles from Gobwife and First. Kinda feels like the player would scold her for that at the least. But even if they don't, they go from broken to instantly back to normal being accidentally murder death killed by Yvee and you come back. Not a huge deal, but something to explain it, or even a short scene of fixing them with Gobwife and First together might be a nice moment.

Now imagine that but for something much more complex. It would put a great toll on you either mentally, physically or magically.
2. If I'm not mistaken gods power is derived from two sources. A god is given a power by (insert means here) usually the Creator. However a god's power can waver or bolster (grow weaker or stronger) depending on their worshippers. When the pc first meets Mariko her followers have very little faith in her. By doing some quests from her the pc makes her follower believe in her more causing her to have stonger powers. In fact if no one knows of a god then it's possible they cease to exist. But that doesn't mean it's always the case.
3. Just like the goblin bangle it's left vague to give the players imagination a whirl. So how it looks it up to interpretation. Personally I see it as a small coin outdated coin that is no longer exists. Sort of how if you have asian coin in the west. You have no idea what it is but it's small, round, flat and metal. But that's how I see it. If you see it differently then that's also correct.
4. Without spoilers the reason the bangle might be replaces is simply due to gobwife or your inventory.
