"Perhaps yer right, but Ah' earned a point 'ere, so it wasn't a waste. Besides, ye should hear yer own advices, Ah' mean... an elven lady in a drinkin' contest? Dontcha make me laugh! Ha ha!" the dwarf laugh, good manered. "If ye beat me in the drinkin' contest, Ah'll do anything ye want, consider it a promise. Nothin's more valuable than a dwarf's word." he says, returning the wink.

Alaric bows to the officiators of the debate, and walks over to Estelle after the recess is declared. He just smirks at Vashar's statement. When he reaches the young woman, he cheerily says "I'm sorry, but I do think I riled up the prissy pansy-I mean pompous idjit-er, dainty nobleman. Whatever. So howzit?"
[sblock=CM]I'm wondering, how did Devera and Ninevah get 4 points each in the debate, while Alaric and Muzdum got 1? I forget how the scoring works exactly, given how long it's been. I know they participated in the first round of the debate, which probably get them 2 points, but how is it? Did Alaric need to beat Zanders 20-something on his last Diplomacy check to win a 2nd point in that round? Alaric's gettin' screwed on points so far.....

[sblock=OOC for Arkhandus]Unfortunately, Alaric didn't score any points during the round in which his opponent was poisoned.
The scoring goes thusly...
1 point for winning the round (winning 2 out of 3 opposed Diplomacy checks)
2 points for winning the round (winning all 3 of the opposed Diplomacy checks)
3 points for winning the round (winning all 3 of the opposed Diplomacy checks and getting a Natural 20 on one of the rolls)
Muzdum and Johen got eliminated this last round.[/sblock]

The Debate
OOC: Amaury, are you still with us?
Zander Cale is taken aback by Renaldo's bold statement for a moment, then sneers, "You would waste your honor on this commoner filth? So be it. Since you issued the challenge, I choose the time and conditions. Tonight, at Lady Devera's ball. The first to lose consciousness loses. And I elect to have a champion fight in my stead."
With that, Zander stalks out of the debate tent.
Anareesa watches him go, then whispers to Estelle, "The strange half-elf, the one who...controlled me, he said something about Lady Nineveh being next. Doesn't this, um, guard, fellow work for Lady Nineveh?"
Meanwhile, Lady Devera nods absently at Muzdum's words, distracted by the altercation at the opening of the tent between Renaldo and Zander.
After a few moments, the moderators call the next round of debates. Lady Devera and Lady Nineveh take their seats opposite eachother.
Vashar takes his seat and calmly waits for Alaric. When Alaric takes his seat, the moderator poses the following question for debate:
"There are many among the House of Lords who oppose the institution of the Arcane Academy on the grounds that will lead to unrestrained magic and turn Azgund down the road taken by Thay. Some even suggest that the Academy is a front for Thayvian spies. The very next issue up for vote by the House of Lords after the tournaments is whether to impose more severe regulations on magic use and to install government oversight into the activities of the Arcane Academy. Do you feel such regulations and oversight are necessary? Why or why not?"
OOC: Roll 1d2 to see who goes first. 1 - Alaric, 2 - Vashar.
The Arcane Academy
Shayuri unleashes a gout of flame at the beast.
Reflex save vs Shayuri's breath weapon (1d20+4=18)
It turns away, partially covering itself with its cloak, which burns to a crisp, and the werewolf's fur on its arm and back is singed away, leaving mild red burns on the skin beneath. It yelps in pain like a dog whose tail has been stepped on.
Valen's sword barely nicks the creature's hide, but it does draw a thin line of blood.
Aohdan clops back down to all four and slices downward with his sword in the same motion. The blade punches through the creature's resistance and drives into the creature's back, causing it to yowl...though it still stands.
But as its red eyes glare at Aohdan, William's sword drives into the base of its neck. Aohdan sees the redness fade as the creature slides off of both blades and slumps to the floor.
As the group watches, the creature reverts back to the human shape it bore when it first entered the room. A gold chain bearing a noble signet ring can be seen around the man's neck.
OOC: Knowledge (Nobility and Royalty) check to identify the symbol on the ring.
Odon reverts back to his regular size with a sigh of relief. He kneels beside Pryzm, "Are you all right?"

Johen remains on the tournament grounds, visibly unsure what to do next. He storkes Highflyer almost mechanically and looks around for any of his companions.
As Muzdum and ALaric remain, he decides to sit down and listen to Alaric's debate. I wonder how it went with that young dragon.. hope they found a solution.. he thinks.

Muzdum walks alongside Johen, and pats him in the back. "Well, seems our dialectics aren't as good as the nobles ones. At least we can break their faces, ha!" he laugh. "Oh, by the way, Lady Devera told me that we are all invited to have dinner at her... house? Dunna know fer certain, she said dinner and Ah dinna listen anythin' else..."

Alaric says to Renaldo, after Zander leaves, "Well, I dunno about you, but *I'd* have a jolly ol' time if ya named Shraezek yer champion in that duel, though not as much as I would've had Zander decided t' fight it *hisself* at the same time. Would serve 'im right. Wonder how Shraezek's doin', though.... Anyway, good luck beatin' up on Zander's champion. Best hope his pockets're as shallow as he is, though, or ya might hafta face a real 'sperienced Azgundi Duelist."
He pats Renaldo on the back and heads over to the debate area when they end the recess. As he goes, thinking of the duelists, his thoughts drift to Corath. 'Wonder what she's.....or it's?.....up to now...' he thinks idly, before his mind stops wandering and he's back by the moderator and Vashar.
Alaric sighs as he loses the coin toss again. "Well, after you, Vashar."
1d2=2

"Shraezek? is he a dueller?" he says to Alaric's retreating form.
