Change...
TakeGoldFromCreature(n100, GetFirstPC());

To...
TakeGoldFromCreature(100, GetFirstPC());
You shouldn't need the 'n'. ;)

the letter prefixes are for when you feel the need to be, as linus torvalds said "brain damaged" and use hungarian notation (http://www.learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial/29-hungarian-notation/) for your variable names. a number like 100 is a literal though, so you can't prefix it like that.

Are you adding void main? The full thing should be

void main() {
TakeGoldFromCreature(100, GetFirstPC());
}
