The Dragon's Hoard Arcane Game: Ruins 2007

[megamania]

Braidy Dotson the dwarf speaks up.


"This is on the level? I mean this is some crazy stuff you are speaking of. The Serpent Tavern was crazy with the races that came peacefully but what keeps this fair? How do you avoid cheating? What are the penalities of cheating?"

"All come here for sport, wagers and having a good time. With the exception of using off limit tunnels used by the healers and beast tamers, there are few rules to break. There was the crafty spellcaster whom thought he could create his own flags. That went poorly for him. The flags are especially marked to avoid counteriing. He ah.... was made example of."

"From there, you just have to keep in mind the DMs are always watching. Their decision is final. Whether you agree with it or not matters little."

 

[Ivellious]

"You say made example of........how?" Thamior says as he looks at the Archon with interest.

 

[Raylis]

"Child the Hill Giant..." he offers an arm to Julian, "Shall we play the odds in our favor?" he asks with a grin.

 

[megamania]

"You say made example of........how?" Thamior says as he looks at the Archon with interest.

"Last I knew, he was turned into a sorcerer's toad familiar."

 

[Rino]

"Last I knew, he was turned into a sorcerer's toad familiar."

that hurts adds Rorim with a grinn on his face but sir, I have a question: when are we scheduled to enter the arena? casue to be honest I'm looking forward to the games. I have my teams has the same. otherwise I might be the next toad

 

[Mista Collins]

"Those do be my thoughts exactly, I might as well be makin' some extra cash." Julian says as she takes Ksathra's arm.

Walking over to Child, Julian makes an introduction. "Howdy Child, I'm Julian and I was told to come lookin' if I do be interested in making a wager on the winners."

Reaching into her belt pouch, she produces eight platinum coins. "What be the odds against each team?"

 

[megamania]

Julian and Ksathra leave the room and walk towards the Bookies section. The Ogres watch for a moment then quickly follow. A thick ground has formed. There are many side bets involving whom will collect a flag first and who will die first. many talk about the ruins as a theme also.

Then someone recognizes the two of you as contenders and suddenly you are mobed with thirty people wanting to be next to you. Some for autographs, some for the oppertunity to shake your hand and even one tries to spit on you. The Ogres clear a large path quelling the crowds.

Child looks down at you. He smiles and greets you. Most of his teeth are missing. One however appears to be gold. "What can we do for you Team Chum? Don't you relieze the games start shortly? Should you not be gearing up first?" He leans over to whisper at you (the whisper is still loud enough for all to hear) "Or are you looking to make a wager?" The entire crowd breaks out in laughter.

 

[megamania]

"8 platinum? Even here that is not Chump Change. Will you be betting on Team Heavy Metal? Perhaps Meepo and his rats. Or is it for the favored team- Team Heritage?"

A chant for Team Heritage breaks out. The ogres look uncomfortable. A riot could break out at any moment and they will not be able to stop it.

 

[Raylis]

Ksathra flings a bag down in front of the giant "Fifty on ourselves to win. he says with a grin, "And speaking of team names ours needs to change, "Chum" lacks a certain something and is only a letter removed from a derogitory."

 

[Mista Collins]

"Eight Platinum is all I have on me and I do be puttin' all of it on us to win." Looking around the room and all the people in it, her eyes go back to Ksathra and she leans in to whisper something. "I not be the creative type. That type of stuff be best handle by someone else."
