"Ah, godling, defeat is plain from where we stand."
"Not ta me, sister. Da belly is in tha way."

Shuffling around as Borric, Nathan, Zelena, and Sylvain confer amongst themselves the three crones continue to chatter and proclaim.

"The Stones stand Sentinel,"
"As the Lady walks the Wild,"
"Red in Tooth and Claw."

"'Bloodsport' he calls it."
"Fancy words, that'un has."
"All be killin' in tha end, sister."
"Och, no! Tha killin' ain't tha point; it be tha annealing."
"Wot's that!"
"E'en tha untested sword can be taken inna battle."
"Tha un-forged sword be a lump a iron."
"Wot foolishness you talk! These be swords by the least measure."
"Still, it'll take all to face our champion."
"Except tha ol' bony one. Likely he'd jus' get in tha way."
"Must be good fer somethin' or they wouldna brung 'im."
"Good luck charm, mebbe."

The dominant crone turns her good eye in the direction of the party.

"Wot be the answer? Accept our aid an' take our test? Or tackle the mountain on your own strength an' will?"

"Not too sure what you all think. I am sure their help would be good, if what Syl and Waltor say about them not lying and being as powerful as they are." She looks back over her shoulder at the trio, "What do you think, a battle, or some questions?"

((I hate riddles myself... never found such things fair in a RPG settting, it usually pits a player vs the riddle and not the character. I have a feeling fighting is going to be a nasty something or some trick where they name one of us their champion... ))

GM: I never said anything about riddles; the crones may speak in riddles but riddles aren't on the board. It's either go up the mountain on your own skill/power/what have you, OR the group defeats their champion in battle to gain either a guide or the chance to ask the crones three questions (your choice).

Borric Hawkins, Male Human Fighter

Borric remembers the barghest well, the foul trophy is decorating the Dunn Wright Inn's facade still.

"Yeah, Syl, that was a bitch, except it was a male wolf thing truth be told. I recall an altercation with a Sea Hag too, glad to have not pissed that bitch off as well."

"Well, facing a champion is something I am finding hard to resist, truth be told. Let me see if the crones will say more."

Turning to address the old hags again, he calls out, "I don't suppose you ladies will be inclined to tell us what this champion of yours is, would you? I don't much enjoy punching against the fog in the valley, hardly sporting for fook's sake."

OOC: Sierra Mist? This crowd is tough.

"Fog inna valley? How's fog supposed ta fight?"
"That'un has a brain. Too bad 'e used it fer saddle grease."

The crone leader grins exposing her nasty teeth.

"Flesh an' blood, our champion has..."
"Like you."
"One of you, anyway."
"But armed in our strength."

"Don't be afeared, manling."
"Our champion ain't invincible."
"Och, no! If'n 'e were it wouldn't be tha bloody sport, now would it?"
"It'd be tha bloody massacre."
"Where be tha fun in that?"

Borric Hawkins, Male Human Fighter

Borric still doesn't rise to the crones' baiting insults, figuring it is better to not piss them off if they are so powerful.

"Okay, what are the rules for this contest?"

OOC: Are we accepting this contest, guys? I did not want Borric to presume.

GM: By my calculation, TBX puts Borric at level 7 today. Congrats! Feel free to level up as soon as you can.

"Well ladies, sounds like you have yourself a contest. We certainly could use your assistance. After we dispatch your champion, if you ask nicely, we might even allow you a date with that one over there," Syl says, jabbing his thumb at Borric.

Waltor continued to chitter, indicating that perhaps this wasn't the greatest idea in the world.

OOC: Thanks, GE. If you can take a look, I have leveled Borric. Pretty straight forward BAB & Skills. Note his speed in Heavy Armor is now 30ft.
