If you guys want to wait, I plan to post more. I just realized that I've already been gone for over an hour, and I should get back to work. I never use quick reply. I know there was something I didn't like about it, but I don't remember what it was. Nethezar grins. "I'll leave the stabbing...

The group eats some, but Ekaym quickly leaves to begin some "public relations" work with the nobles. He mentions that, when the nobles place their wagers, they want to know some information about the combatants, so he will be fielding questions about your skills. Soon, most all the attendants...

Sorry, I was unclear. The lady is in the picture because she happens to be in the picture and I didn't take the trouble to cut her out. You might meet her later. She is not present with Auric and Khellek at the moment.

Nethezar mumbles incoherently, with apparent anger or distaste, into his mug after Kushnak keeping a low profile. Ekaym informs the trio that, unfortunately, the matches for tomorrow won't be posted until tomorrow morning, so there is little chance to specifically scout out your first...

After giving Ekaym a name and picking a leader for the group [ahem], the group moves forward. The clerk examines Ekaym's manager's license with a magnifying lens, nods, and then records all the names in a book. After nodding approvingly, the clerk waves over a cute young woman in servant's...

Here are some: Varmint Patrol The Unhumans Chuka's Ravens Drunken Devilry Teeth of Kord Sapphire Guard (did they steal that from OOTS?) You learn the the least imaginative name is actually that of the returning champion group: Auric's Warband, named after its leader, Auric.

Finishing Day 51 to Evening Day 54 After Ekaym takes his leave, the trio discusses strategy and plans for the next couple days. Fortunately, aside from the routine of shopping and getting supplies, the trio has plenty of time to relax. While making shopping trips, it is apparent that the...

Neth can't prepare rage, 'cause he doesn't know it. (Might be a good thing for him to pick up the next time he gets to learn a new 2nd level spell... Which won't be until level 17...) But if we want to buy scrolls, he'll certainly cast it on Kushnak. Haste, crushing despair, and glibness are...

Reminds me of when Eskard pretty much single-handedly cleared out the lizardfolk lair... except WORSE! Neth still has 3 CLW wands with 50, 46, and 37 charges.

Ekaym would have told you that, in general, ALL the groups will have long-lasting buffs in use before the battle starts. And some shorter buffs (e.g. minute per level range) are used during the battle announcements (i.e. right after entering the arena, when the announcer introduces the fighting...

As you get to talking about strategy, Ekaym smiles and gets ready to leave. "If you need me sometime before the Free Dinner, come ask for me here." He hands the trio a note with the name of a bar and some basic directions. "I'm not staying there, unless I find someone worth staying with," he...

Ekaym smiles as he is peppered with questions. "Enthusiasm! Excellent!" He points at Erdolliel. "The total payout of 40,000 is broken up into segments for each battle you win. Winning the first battle nets 2,000. The second nets 5,000. Then 10. Then 20. Plus some trophies and such that...

Ekaym smiles as Erdolliel and Kushnak express their interest. "Marvelous! Tell you what, I'll buy the three of you something to eat, and we can discuss all of the details." Celeste gives a brief nod. "While I don't mean to be rude, I'll be taking my leave of you all. I have my own business...

I dunno... You actually don't see any weapons or armament on her, though you also don't see, for example, a holy symbol or spell component pouch. I don't know how you would discern anything else, other than that she could be any number of things, but only if she is simply not equipped at the...

Into Day 51 Nethezar snickers. "Probably no rules against betting in favor of your own group. But if you bet against yourselves and then happen to fall on your face during the match..." It soon becomes apparent that even the night owls are heading to their homes for sleep, and the trio finds...

Nethezar nods. "As I'm sure you have both surmised, I certainly have little trust for religious zealots... not even those in my own order. While it would take quite a stretch for their god to condone such actions, if for even a moment they came to think that Saint Cuthbert wished it, they...

Gust begins, "I know nothing else of Raknian, and I know nothing really about the Champion's Games, other than that they are wildly popular..." As his voice trails, one of the younger aides chimes in. "I think you need a sponsor to get in. There's some kind of licensing requirement. And I...

When Raknian's name is mentioned, the workers in the room all stop and turn to listen. Gust's face grows even paler. "I'd assume that you jest, but the spell prevents it. What you have just said is probably enough to justify the expense we are putting into this investigation." Gust glances...

Hilarious! "I am Nethezar. The same Nethezar you met six days ago. And, to the best of my knowledge, Erdolliel and Kushnak are the same persons with me at that time." Gust nods. "Thank you. Investigating the doppelgangers has made it apparent that I can trust no one." A hint of a smile...

The trio arrives at the Temple of St. Cuthbert. After asking after Investigator Gust, an initiate leaves to find him. The trio sees the initiate first head in the direction of Gust's office, where you last met him, but then he turns a different direction down a hallway. After a couple of...
