Paxus Asclepius
First Post
Conversations and betting die down, as combatants and bookies alike seek their beds. Bladesong dawns crisp and bright, a perfect day for fighting in heavy armor. As the town lacks sufficient space for such a large gathering, the tourney is held just outside the walls. The officials mediating the games place rods in circles, stringing cord between them to delineate the rings for the matches. The first match seems relatively disorganized, with contestants being paired up randomly and handed padding for their weapons. Any who wish to enter must do so now.
