Catching Barrington's eye, she holds up five fingers with a pleading look to signal she finishes work in five minutes. She pauses by Old Zef and Hugo Van Haan with a hand on her hip, speaking in a bold Welsh accent, "Well, can I get you rumdiggers anything, o' d' you just come for the horseplay? Some gin from your homeland, perchance? Just two shillings?"A dozen or more tavern-goers have gathered around the table where the arm wrestling match is being held between Gvido Berzins and Doctor Varlok. Even a group of drunken sailors who were playing a drunken knot tying game have come over, though two of them seem to have tied their thumbs together and thus jostle each other for the best view of the arm wrestling match. Several Dutch dwarves, led by a dwarven woman with a soot-stained face, have elbowed their way to get closer to the table as well. It doesn't take much to see the crowd is starved for entertainment, mostly likely from too many days in port without enough work.* * *The Insult Arm Wrestling MatchGvido makes no disguise about exerting himself, grunting emphatically as his crushing grip squeezes Doctor Varlok's hand. However, the Doctor's strategy keeps him from losing any ground, and furthermore allows him to size up Gvido a bit. It would seem that they are both equally matched for sheer strength, but with the way Gvido is exerting himself, Doctor Varlok could probably outlast him if it came to that."Hah! The only seams you're going to burst are when I'm done with you!" Just when it seems like Gvido is going to pursue the same strategy of trying to crush the Doctor's hand, he suddenly makes a dangerous feint, letting Doctor Varlok have a bit of give, then pressing hard to catch him off guard. "My mouth or my arm? Even my eyelash could beat a shrimp like you!"[OOC]1st round - Tie! (Gvido 13 vs. Varlok 12+1 for great description)Make a Wisdom (Insight) check to catch the trick Gvido is up to. Also, the next round you determine what sort of opposed check you and Gvido will make, based on whatever strategy you devise.Gvido - Charisma (Deception): <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4725958/" target="_blank">1d20+2=13</a>[/OOC]</blockquote>
