Roland chugs the rest of the brackish alcohol and nods to the bartender. "Great, you should stay silent. Like you better that way." He opens the door to the back room and waves Ormond in after him over his shoulder.
As Roland does, he beholds a truly beautiful sight. It opens to a porch, which leads down to a backyard with several rowdy hooligans whooping and hollering. They’re circled around a carved dirt ring where two men are currently beating each other senseless. There is a lot of empty booze on the ground.

Osskil craws and flaps upwards into the night sky. Deshi, satisfied that Penny has their back, urges Osskil to go back to check on their other companions.

Penny sighs and shakes out her clothes. "So strange, right? Birds!" she says to a passer by. Then she changes location to a new spot that still has a view of Deshi. Stealth: 18

Edit... ugh.
There’s a small kernel of shame within Penny as people are now trying to ignore her.

Roland walks into the ring, watching the fight while also looking around the backyard for anyone who looks like a bookie.
No bookie, but as the fight wraps up, two other men step into the ring and being pummeling each other. This seems to be more of a... uh... hobby? More a fight club, rather than a fight ring.
There is one man however who is distinctly winning. He’s also very clearly red with inebriation, but seems laser focused. He could pass for sober easily.
Ormond nods at the bartender as he follows Roland through to the back. He leans toward his travel companion and says, "I assume that you're about to get involved with whatever is happening here... Try not to bring too much attention to yourself. Maybe use a fake name."
Ormond then walks around the perimeter, eyeing the crowd for any Militia, and for the type of person that "trades in information."
"I'm not stupid. I'll go by one of my aliases." Roland taps the man on a win streak on the shoulder and crosses his arms. "So you fighting, huh? I see you're winning quite a lot. How would you like to fight ME? TONITRUM PACHYDERM!" He points to himself with both thumps and gives the man a sneer of challenge.

Osskil would normally have difficulty finding a small grouping in a decently sized town. At least, he would, if anyone but Roland “Subtlety” Wolfscribe was involved. Osskil can easily circle the sky above them.

As Roland gets into the ring with this guy, you look him over. The first thing you note is that he is big. He’s about a foot over Roland’s head. He has a very well-kept beard and a kind of dastar-looking headdress. His body itself has what seem to be ritualistic tattoos at key points on his tanned body, such as under the eyes, or on the shoulders. He seems familiar. However, you can’t place it at the moment. As for Militia? None currently.

Ormond makes a note of the fighter. He looks around to see if there's anyone similar to him, or perhaps otherwise associated with him (standing near him, talking to him, bringing things to him, etc.).
/ Perception (WIS) 7
Ormond then approaches the soberest looking individual, preferably someone who works at the bar or ring, and asks about the fighter, "What's that bloke's story? He seems made to be a put fighter. Any idea what those tattoos mean?"
/ Investigation (INT/CHA)? 14 +1 if INT, +3 if CHA...
Ormond hopes that any information learned would help jog his memory...

"YEAHEHEEEY NOW WE GOT OURSELVES A FIGHT!" Roland tears off his cape and throws it to the ground. He spreads his arms and waves his competitor towards him with a "come here" motion. "GET READY TO FEEL THE THUNDER"
(Athletics?) 15

Penny picks her head up, imagining she just heard some creature far away bellow in a kind of display... then shakes her head and goes back to watching Deshi and Dr. Walton.

ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he). Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. I love it so.

As Roland charges toward the man, he grapples him in a massive lock and... can’t... move... Him!? The man, meanwhile, brings down a hammer fist on Roland’s head (Athletics: 7). However, he’s too slow as Roland backs away quickly.
A few civilians start looking toward Penny, but continue on with their day.
