"I will put 10 gold on Klong and Josias." placing 10g and taking his slip back over to Nykkan. "I did hear you say you are a monk. Where did you study? What style? How did you come upon this place?" Ladybug continues to ask a million questions like a child meeting an odd relative for the first time.

(your using vig wrong, the vig is your commission not theirs.also can be known as juice. i think you might be thinking of a push or a layoff. )

Quote from Brian_Avery >>

Toren will bet 10 gold on the team of Eldin and Viator at 4:1

"Here's to a good fight!" and Toren will toast his fine wine that he got for free, Nylah looks up at her papa and toasts with her milk & honey, not quite sure what's going on.

"the odds for Josias and the other?" you'll hear the tortel speak up for the first time in awhile as he has been intently watching the fighting. 

"I'd like to five gold pieces on them, depending the odds."

Baku will throw the man 5 gold pieces. "Hope its a good fight." He'll sit back down to watch it.

(I don't think you'll make any money with those numbers.)

(Just trying to make enough gold to continue being able to drink lol)

As Ladybug asks him multiple questions in rapid succession he attempts to answer them as he can The monastery that I learned my skills was located in Shadowfell. The Temple of the Storm Giant, it was called, located high in the clouds. I took refuge there and learned the path of the Drunken Master there in order to protect myself against the forces of darkness that roamed the land there. My master was a tyrant though and I had to fight him to the death just to be able to make it back to my homeland. Nykkan pauses for a minute to down his ale and indicates that he needs another. As for how I came upon this place...I heard that there was coin to earn. Whether it be by fighting, gambling or other means so I thought I would try my hand...well fist...in competing. How about you? What is your story? He asks Ladybug

(edit: Performance:1)

The serving girls gather around to listen to your tale.

(I meant Garrock won't make any money. For you its supposed to be a gamble.)

Garrock give me any Charisma skill check.

Saihyo walked into the spectator area, looking for some way to put some coin into his, admittedly empty pockets. This arena seemed busy, and if the crowds wouldn't accept his sword and fist, at least there was traffic to play for to potentially scrounge some coin. 

He strolled to what looked like a person involved with the coliseum and asked coolly "Who's do I look for to register for a fight. I'll admit i'm new around here but that kind of thing sits well with crowds like this... right?" 

A girl listening intently to a Dragonborn recounting the details of his journey turns to you as you enter. And directs you to a woman watching the battle. "Truth is... She can set you up." The woman she directed you to hands you some forms. "Welcome to the Coliseum. We'll have you in a match soon."

"I most admit, my story not nearly as impressive as your. I was found by some monks returning to their monastery after a long pilgrimage. I hatched in the wagon two days out from the village of Shadeleaf a few leagues east of here. I have studied in the Way of the Open Hand. I was sent out by my master and father figure to find myself, and my people if possible. I came across this fine arena and wanted to test myself against others without risk of death." Ladybug will then drop 10 more gold on the bar. "The next few rounds are on me friend. And maybe we can work together in the arena."

After receiving a message that his match was to start soon, Lawrence stood up. "Thank you for the great service. Should I survive, I will return for more beer." And so, he left the Glory and went to the preparing area.

Argoth runs the edge of the field, leaps over the low wall, drops his axe, and pulls out a lighter throwing axe. He throws it as he moves through the air and... Inspite of the difficult shot with Gewonnt behind partial cover he lands the shot, barely. He then crashes to the ground skidding on his face to a stop.

Argoth and Marvarax win the match. As the fog recedes Marvarax has been healed by a medic within. Edros has been stabilized. Basil slips into the ring to present the victors.

(Due to the influx of new players the next match (level-3) will feature all interested characters from 1 to 3)

"Thank you friend!" Saihyo gave a slight bow before finding a quiet place to start filling out the forms he had been given. 


"Lets see... name, Saihyo Leiko. Weapons, Sword and fist... I guess?" Everything seemed pretty straightforward and he signed away the terms of his death and resurrection with very little thought. ~don't see any reason why not. I don't think i'll be killing people with my hands anytime soon.~

With the bundle of papers now properly inked, he walked up to the woman that he was told to give these too and gently tapped the front of her desk to get her attention. "pardon me, I was told I had to submit these to you."

"She looks them over briefly. Excelent. I hope your ready, You can join the match the next match if you like."

"So soon? Well alright, No better way to get your feet wet i guess." He shrugged and looked down at his pack, taking his shortsword with him and leaving the rest in the pack. "I've got a place for these right? think I read it on one of the pages,  but I'm not certain where I can leave the rest of this.  Can I leave with you for the moment and have it dropped wherever i'll be assigned?"

(Argoth is interested)

After the match Argoth once again enters the tavern exclaiming, "Did you see that fight, I won again without them even hurting me!"

(Gewonnt is interested)

(Thanks Argoth and Marvarax for an excellent fight! You guys played quite well, and I learned how NOT to play a monk! Oh well, next time I hopefully won't make the same mistakes!)
