If you roll against a Hard DC and succeed, the opponent falls prone.Athletics or Acrobatics (move; Moderate DC) - You leap at your opponent, or otherwise perform a wide maneuver that the crowd can appreciate.Insight (move; Moderate DC) - +2 on your next Bluff or Intimidate check, doesn't count against the total tally.Etc.Success tiers (effects are cumulative):1 - 3: The crowd is unimpressed.4 - 6: The crowd is warming up to you. You gain a +2 bonus on your healing surge value.7 - 9: The crowd takes your side and shout warnings. When you grant combat advantage, enemies don't gain the +2 bonus to attack you.10-12: The crowd is at your mercy. You score a critical hit on a roll of 19-20.You can't fail the challenge until you are defeated in combat. Every time you fail at a skill check, your next attack is weakened.EDIT:You could apply these mechanics to both sides. The success tiers are determined by subtracting the side with the least successes from the side with the more successes. So if the PCs have 10 successes and the dragonborn have 4, the PCs gain the benefits of 6 successes. This way the fight becomes a battle not only to survive, but also to win the favor of the crowd.</blockquote>
