(It was straight Charisma. Also, I actually rolled it to see how Eldin would react.)
Eldin nods to Argoth and says, "Well if you're sure..."
He then turns to the other person who approached him and asks, "Well..."
(The following sequence are question Eldin will ask. However, he will ask the next question after the previous was answered. The reason I lumped all of it together is because I didn't want to spam the thread with multiple posts)
Firstly, I don't think we've met before. I'm Eldin, a roguish mercenary. Eldin extends his gloved hand for a friendly handshake.
Do you drink?
Have you worked as a Bartender before? If so then for how long and why did you quit, if you don't mind me asking
How do you feel about the fine upperclassmen of society? What about those who live from hand to mouth?
Do you have many friends or are you more of a loner?
1. "Something wrong? You look a little green in the face. Ha just kidding! The name's Baryk Greycastle, I'm sure you've heard the name before. ... I'm good with a bow"
2. "Of course I drink! My great deeds are often met with glorious celebrations!"
3. "Why yes I used to work in my families tavern were we sold our renowned Greycastle vodka. I left to seek glory in combat just as my ancestors did."
(I'll get to the other questions in a bit, I'm at work rn)
The level-5 battle above is still in initiative. I hope this overlap doesn't confuse anyone. After the battle above... New competitors are arriving in waves. Everyone wants a chance to make a name for themselves. Are these fighters any different?
This fight will be 3-vs-3. Victory will be awarded... 1... King of the hill. After 3 rounds the flag (¥) will become active remaining within 10 feet of the flag (¥) for 5 rounds while keeping your opponents away will win the match, alternatively you can win by defeating all enemies.
The time: 3... Night has fallen. One last battle will be fought tonight. The moon offers little illumination. Torches are lit and Dancing Lights are cast over the field. Yet the darkness penetrates the area. Deep shadows fill every crevice.
A group of new faces enter the arena. Basil, the announcer, comes out to introduce the latest challengers. A gruff, stout, dwarf with a great, golden, beard and wearing heavy chain armor, carries a shield and hammer along with various other arms visible on his belt. A thin elven man with green eyes and sandy brown hair, carries a bow and has a quiver on his back, as well as a pair of swords on his belt. He has light leather armor peaking out from under his clothes. An uncommonly tall man with a full beard of black curls stands as the sun shines on his bald head. He wears no armor and carries only a simple sword. A fiery colored, fiendish, girl with glowing eyes, stands as her loose fitting clothing and deep black hair play on an unnatural breeze. A raven-black, bird-man with a haunted look prepares himself. He carries a number of small sharp weapons.
"The arena sees new challengers. A young citizen of the plane of air. Light and quick. A bird of prey... Urrrrk!"
"A woman born of fiendish blood. Lovely and terrifying, as women often are... Temaya!"
"A giant of a man on a mission with only a sword and his instincts to aid him... Ramal!"
"An elven archer, ready to show us what a bow can do... Peren Firahel!"
"A warrior of the mountain heart, forged in steel... Argoth Dragonslayer!"
"And an elf of few words, returning today... Jianyu Mendoza!"
The battle field has been reformed. A troupe of spell casters shape the world with magic both powerful and simple. Stone Shape, and Mold Earth, Druidcraft, and Plant Growth. The spectacle delights the crowd. What forms is a marble tower standing in a well kept garden, and encircled with marble halls. Low, even, steps recede to the garden and again into the tower where a wooden dais offers a height advantage.

(BDaddLy pulls out a box of figurines and produces figures that represent your characters remarkably well. Argoth Dragonslayer 'A', Paren Firahel 'P', Ramal 'R', Temaya 'T', 'U' Urrk. (Sorry, if you are effected by the T's curse.) Make any final preparations, choose a starting position, and roll initiative when ready.)
The teams will pit Argoth with (5, 4) Jianyu and Urrk, against Paren, Ramal, and Temaya.
(Jianyu can swap for a player if another comes before we're out of initiative.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Temaya, with a prideful look on her face, casts thaumaturgy (from the infernal legacy trait) making dramatic (yet perfectly harmless) tremors in the ground.
Devious serpent folk devoid of compassion, yuan-ti manipulate other creatures by arousing their doubts, evoking their fears, and elevating and crushing their hopes. From remote temples in jungles, swamps, and deserts, the yuan-ti plot to supplant and dominate all other races and to make themselves gods.

5. "Of course I have friends! I have tons of friends! Do I seem like a guy that doesn't have any friends? Who told you I didn't have friends?"
A concerned look falls on Eldin's face. He goes quiet as he thinks for a while. He then says, "People of all classes and creeds are welcome in this tavern. I hope you won't mind serving the rich as well as the poor their drinks."
Eldin smiles and says, "I see. That's good to hear. Now how much do you expect for your services? Keep in mind that I can't make any concrete promises until my employer/ business partner gets here"
What's the furthest position you can start the fight at?
How tall are Walls =
...
Looks like Argoth, Urrk, and Jianyu will be in row 12. Temaya, Ramal, and Paren in row 1 (not 2)
The walls are 12 feet high. Smooth marble and would be difficult to climb. The structures have no roofs or ceilings for spectator visibility. The tower walls are 15 feet.
After Eldin finishes his talk with Baryk, he will try to find a shop in the town where he can buy a holy symbol and 100 ml of alcohol or spirit.
(Also, BDaddly, you never told me if I could trade my water breathing scroll and the token for a Shield +1 and a Short sword +1)
"That'll be 6 gold marks."
(You can trade one item when you win as your prize. Yes either the scroll or the token can be traded, at that time, for either a Shield +1 or a Shortsword +1)
As the crowd is anticipating the up coming right a young elf in the typical garb of a ranger attempts to find a good seat to watch.

Ramal wanders among the crowded coliseum.
“Doesn’t look like he’s here either.” He says to himself.
Noting the fighters and matches he’s caught so far, he’s slow to leave the arena.
”Well, since I’m here...”
He makes his way to the lists.
ooc: whoops nevermind I’m in it!
