Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deuce Traveler" data-source="post: 4801591" data-attributes="member: 34958">Liar Mukang winked at Lola (OOC: Got the name right this time!) and asked, "Madam Lanolan!  Why don't you come here for the show my dear?"  Lola nodded and the Wilders and their new slave stood near Liar.As they got into position the announcer shouted about the contest beginning, and ten screaming goblins with crude shivs made of bone, loin cloths, and face paint poured out of the arena's eastern gateway.Edvan[sblock]Goblins typically are less civilized, but from what you've heard from other soldiers, plus the limited reading you have been picking up, they have their own primitive civilization and are not so suicidal to engage in a direct charge.  The paint, weapons, and clothing was likely given to them to put on a better show.  Also, you notice several short, dog-faced creatures with spears had 'motivated' the goblins into their charge before retreating back into the eastern tunnel.[/sblock]The goblins crashed into the shields of Rexor and his two men, desperately trying to find a gap in their armor.  The first three goblins went down easily, Rexor's blade feinting towards one of the lead goblins' faces before making a quick half-circle back and slicing its throat.  Liar whispered to the group as the battle continued, "You may or may not know that there are certain weapon experts that can teach one how to use their weapons more proficiently.  Rexor learned from someone, though who I know not.  It makes a decent show, though the outcome is always boringly inevitable."  Rexor disarmed his next attacker and ran him through, followed by stunning the next goblin with a shield slam.  The battle was over soon after, with the goblins slain and Rexor's two companions badly huffing and bleeding in several places.  Rexor suffered a cut to his side, but it was not deep and he proudly raised his blade over his head.  Liar clapped and yelled down, Bravo, Rexor!  Bravo for yet another great victory!  What an amazingly foreseen victory."  The last was uttered sarcastically to the Wilders, before his servants carried him away to his audience hall.  Lola earned back her 20gp plus 2gp more.The flower girl asked the group, "So what now, 'masters'.  Shall we converse in your chambers so I may serve you."  By her tone, she was obviously going to continue to be distrustful and difficult.</blockquote>
