Harmond nods. "Right. So do you still need a hunter or a bartender or should I just go and look for greener pastures?"
"Any person of skill is useful. We need both bartender and Hunters. Its a bit bare bones around her as far as staff is concerned. I'd planned on having a few old contenders in the arena help as instructors or mentors. Now though... its just me and the bouncer."
Behind the bar, stone greataxe leaning against the wall behind him stands a Tabaxi. Scarred face, a near permanent snarl, and absolutely messing every drink order up stands Obsidian Field. Clearly not meant for this type of life.
Wit a tired sigh Eider turns to Hammond "People need a sense of order, You know?"
(OOC my brother had no interest in coming back and told me to retire him. Figured he'd make a good Bouncer NPC at least.)

Harmond slings his musket around his back and says, "Alright then. As long as I get paid, I can reprise my role as bartender and hunter." He then hops back over the bartender's desk and gets back to work but not before pouring himself and mug of Elvish ale.
Now free from his bar tending duties Ob grabs his weapon and heads for the door. "We're going to need to hunt for food if people keep coming here. I don't mind the sport of it. But to you may need to sponsor a hunt or two to keep the cellars full."
Thinking on this Eider brings out a quill and paper. If folks wants to come here to learn how best to defend themselves, then maybe he can capitalize on those very same skills.
(After the level 3 fight, but before the level 4) That evening folks in the Glory's Acknowledgement(fightmeBdaddLy) see an Expedition board with two posting on it:
Posting 1: Hello all weathered and weary travelers. I thank you for your interest in our humble academy and welcome you to stay and learn all you can!
This though comes at a cost, as many things do, and that is sustainability. I know not what arrangement former owners had for stocking provisions. But since the calamity I doubt those deals or routes still stand. With this in mind I would ask that any who're brave enough venture out into the surrounding wilderness and hunt whatever provisions they can find. Coin will be paid for any donated to the Academy. Or you may keep your spoils for yourself.
The going rates are as follows: Small creatures will trade for 10 gp Medium creatures will trade for 40 gp Large creatures will trade for 120 gp Berries, Roots, and other Medicinal Herbs will trade for 25 gp a pound
It is not advised to go beyond any beast larger than an average beast of burden as such creatures are normally more of a hassle than they'll be worth.
Posting 2: This being a School we offer much more than trial by combat. As of now we are terribly short handed, but we aspire to grow and become a beacon of knowledge and bastion of safety for any on these grounds.
In that spirit if you find yourself tired of the traveled road feel free to become a professor here, teach on any subject you wish. Arcane, Cultural, Histories, Religions of far off lands, any and all knowledge is welcome here and encouraged to be shared.
(OOC these are to give characters something to do while not fighting, encourage role play and given a chance to show off more than attacks and spells. Do with them what you will. Just thought I'd offer a variance besides a solely combat focused forum.)
(Also, if someone wants to start up the betting thing again feel free to PM me, I'm good with numbers and willing to keep track of W/L for odds.... I just don't know how betting actually works. XD)
(BIG POINT OF INTEREST! NONE OF THIS AWARDS EXP, IT IS SOLELY FOR RP AND GP. WHILE THERE WILL BE ROLLS AND EVEN POSSIBLE FIGHTS, NO RESOURCES USED WILL CARRY OVER TO THE ARENA AND CONVERSELY, NO OUTSIDE EDGE WILL BE GRANTED. THIS IS JUST FOR RP TO BREAK UP MONOTONY.)
(Ehhh been on the road working shows then boom my whole industry shuts down.so yay pandemic. Lol. Learned how to use online stuff threw my phone now.so that's helpful. Lol.
I did name the bar... but seems like this is a second bar since "the glory of the Coliseum" was shattered to bits when the coliseum got destroyed.🤷♂️ )

When you realize you're doing too much: Signature.
(Looking at the HP pools and doing maths, yes. Grianne has lost her bear form. Post and map updated.)
(For the purposes of size changes, Polymorph, Wildshap . Enlarge, ect.., I will place your character by intent. For example, here Grianne was clearly intent on engaging in combat with Nara, so when she shrinks back down to Medium I placed her still within combat of Nara. Had she been running away or hiding, she'd be as far away her form would have allowed. The logiv is simple, the extra HP, stronger attacks, and bonus senses are enough buffs for me to feel comfortable not allowing players to "game" the system with what is essentially free Disengage actions. I understandthis may be controversial, that's why I'm addressing it now and setting a precedent early.)

(Welcome back to the fold, Brian_Avery. Been a hot a minute! I'm not sure if you already read back to the post about the changes for the reopening, but a few things to note:
Everyone starts at level 3.
No UA or Homebrew, otherwise all Races and Classes welcome.
Standard or Point Buy stat arrays accepted.
You can start with one Uncommon Magic Item, and one Mundane Item freely of your choice(yes, that includes something as expensive as Plate or I suppose Purple Worm Poison)
And finally send a link of your character sheet to Elitehatter.

(Yea, about that poison stuff, it's meant for for armor or a second weapon choice really. You could take basic poison, but I dont think it's a good idea to give a character purple worm venom at level 3.)

(Eh, I’m probably the wrong one. Oh well. Alls well that ends well.
In the meantime, let’s let these RPers get back to the action, eh?)

Eider smiles "The more familiar faces i see, the more hope I have."
Turning his attention away fromt he bar, he looks upon the scrying mirrors towards the current match. "There's a lot of new talent here as well."

A dark cloaked figure lingers in the doorway starring at the bar. Just a few moments before disappearing into the street.
