Maybe I'm wrong but, in your last fight, you seems unsure of your ability's. You may have relied to much on trying to stay hidden. Grianne eats more cake. I'd like to find out if I'm wrong. You ready to go sparring ?

Eldin finishes his drink and says, "Sure. Let's head out. If you'd like, I read another story to you after we're done."

Delighted Grianne answers Winner picks the story ?

"Sure."

OOC: So uh... How does sparring work here?

"So Eider still enjoying being a cowa *cough cough* wizard" 

You twist the universe to you're will, it's us fighters making fighters making sure you're frail asses stay up 

give me a few rounds in you're melee and watch that change 

Eider looks up from his Salmon steak. "Marvarax, friend" I look at Hamond "this is my geust, please allow him to eat with us."

Looking back to the Dragonborn "I am no coward, but a man skilled in defensive arts.  Who gets some help from lady luck every once in a while..." he trails off not sure what to say after that.

(Is Toren Here? Eider would love to speak to him again)

(Eider spent a few rounds in melee with Marvarax... Anyway. Out there Grianne has the strongest health pool with that bonus 60 HP from Snake n' Shake. Want to guess who's second?)

(Toren, I've been calculating The Glory's profits under the assumption that one table was reserved. Is that deal not done?)

"oh using defensive magic to avoid blows that's fine. The problem is when you use it to hold you're opponent in place, I mean even seriously, just trapping someone in ice blasting at them while they can do nothing"

(Oh right! It doesn't matter though.)

Eldin says to Grianne, "Please wait for me a second." He then goes up to the VIP section and finds Toren.

"Listen, about the table... yes, you can reserve a table at the VIP section. You'll have to pay 20gp at the start of each day to maintain reservations. Does that sound good?

Eldin counts the gold and says, "Starting from today/tomorrow (Like I said, I lost all track of time here), you have reserved the spot for 7 days. I will come to collect the next payment when it is time."

Today The Glory served 88% of capacity

"To hold you was a contest of Wills. I wanted to keep you there more than you wanted to come at me" Eider takes a long look at the Dragonborn "Tell me, had we been on the same team facing down a Remoraz or some other monstrosity and I held it trapped in ice while you attacked the defenseless creature, would I still be a coward of a wizard or rather a clever ally?"

(@BDaddLy Are you counting Total health available or just highest current? lol)

Marvarax chuckles for second before full on laughing "I scare you that much do I" Marvarax calmed down a bit before replying "you think winning is what matters most to me, I enjoy a good tussle a good fight, two enemies clashing full force against one another, steel against iron, the BONDS OF BATTLE, the test of martial ability. You're tactics may work fine, but I prefer the head on clash" 

Grianne is waiting patiently for Eldin to finish his business. 

Eldin heads back to Grianne and says, "Shall we go?"

Eldin takes Grianne to the woods and begins the sparring match.

When they arrive at the clearing in the woods, Grianne will hide behind a tree to change out of her dress and into her armor and foliage robes. Don't want to get it dirty.  Now, Is there a form you wish me to take or avoid taking for this ?

Eldin shakes his head and says, "If you held back, there wouldn't be any point in sparring now would there?" He draws his rapier and dons his shield before continuing, "Normally, I like to keep my own battle strategies a secret and it's perfectly fine if you wish to do so to. However, today have no battle plans capable of combating your wild shape so I'll try whatever comes to mind."

If you insist.  Grianne spokes a word or 2 in Druidic as her skin begins to ripple and shimmer taking on a slight appearance of tree bark. With her spell cast, Grianne's appearance begins to shift once more. In a moment the elfgirl is no more. In her place sits a Giant Constrictor Snake.
