" But it makes no sense, they play in the water!"
" Right! But what if they didn't!?"
" Then, as I've been trying to bloody well explain, it is. not. Hippogryph. Water. Polo! It's ... It's some other sport! It's different!"
" But they can still keep the pool and keep the ball in play if it lands in the water! It'll completely revolutionize the game! Think of it! Strikers soaring high, making the pass to the Forward down below, only to dive and intercept a blocker in the water!"
" Next you'll be telling me you want Hellhound Races to feature real Hellhounds."
" But that's what it's called, it should featu-!"
" Where ... where the hell are we?"
Apparently that college-brewed ale had quite the kick: Koldan had been walking and debating with the gnome so intensely that he had not realized they had left the bar, let alone were in a completely different district. In fact, they were in a stadium, and Koldan noted with a sigh that his purse felt a twinge lighter.
The Gnome whistled sharply, throwing his hands up in a victory stance as the pair stood at the top of a long flight of stairs.
" LET'S GO NEW OLAMN! Show those Harpies who's Boss!"
A resounding cheer of agreement went up from the section Koldan was closest to, the Ranger wondering if there were actually words coming from the crowd or just a ceaseless wave of din. He ... He was pretty sure they were saying "Olay" or the like, it almost sounded sing-song in cadence.
" I need to stop drinking with college kids," he lamented, scanning the crowds as best he could. Perhaps, with how large the event was, his companions might have found their way here as well.

Game Info:
Fire Giants attacked Triboar looking for a "Vonindod", which they called a weapon that was in many parts. Fire Giant Duke Zalto of Ironslag wants this to "win".
Darathra was a Harper: she gave me a Platinum Badge of Triboar to present to Dorkath The Orkath to let him know of the attack.
There is a Kobold in the area of Yartar named "Lightwalker", a craftsman with 'some incredible weapons'.
There is a 5,000 GP Bounty on "The Weevil", a Dwarven Brigand last seen at Xantharl's Keep as a stable cleaner. The reward is for delivering him
alive to authorities in Mirabar.
Ghelryn Foehammer has given us a letter of recommendation to King Morinn and Queen Tithmel of Citadel Fellbar. Ghelryn will also give us a 10% discount on customized weapons and armor in Triboar.
Harshnag is a Frost Giant of
FORCE GREY should be told about the Giants. Apparently his company was 'mostly murdered' after an encounter with a Dragon and a Traitor.
The Kraken Society is a criminal organization that worships 'some tentacled horror of the deep', and was been gathering artifacts related to the Ancient Giant Civilization that was destroyed in a war with Dragons.[/sblock][/sblock]
