Theo, turning from the crowd as a Bulky looking Zora steps up to take on Dagoro. You are met with the pleasant aroma of pie, Hundreds of freshly baked pastries cooling in the open air. A few dozen bakers working hard to keep the pies coming as they are devoured by a nearby competition. Pie Eating. Currently there is a Zora sitting by himself at the table where the Pies are served. Unlike arm wrestling, where Dagoro is also the lead of the event. 

There is a Hylian man, standing on the left side of the table. Recalling what had previously happened. "In the first round of the contest, Lurk devoured the competition in a record 26 seconds! He is the man to beat as we head into the last sitting for the first Pie eating contest! Join up now folks, And I'd like to thank this years sponsor. Beedle & Barts, the finest magical emporium in all of Hyrule, for the first of our many prizes today!"

The man holds up a very finely made cloth cloak, Green in colour with a silver trim along its edge. Even as the wind causes the material to move, it makes no sound. "Remember, this prize is only availible for the first competition. So if you want to be the proud owner of this Cloak, provided by Beedle & Barts. Enter now!"

Another person steps up to the table, leaving two more seats availible. The crowd of onlookers all talk among eachother, some are saying how the Zora seems to be unbeatable in this contest despite his rather small frame. Looking at the Zora, you do notice how small he is compared to the other man at the table. The Hylian man who just sat beside him is a rotund individual who looks like they could devour any number of pies thrown at him. The Zora on the other hand looks like a stiff breeze could knock him over, nothing but skin and bones. 

Theo walks up to the table and plops himself down. “Hello there, my fellow pie eaters. Are we ready to devour pies and slate our hunger?”

Paca, before he walks up, plays a little song for Theo to boost his stomach.

Bardic inspiration on Theo.

Paca then approaches and sits next to Theo. Remaining silent and focused

"Alllllllllright it seems we have our contestants, Please bring out the pies!" The announcer for this contest gestures over to the long tables, filled with freshly baked pies. Two Gerudo step up from the crowd, taking one pie in each hand. The Gerudo are massive, built machines of war so it is a little odd to see them deliver pies in this contest. A pie is set down on the table in front of each contestant, The crust is a crispy golden brown. The filling is a mix of different berries. 

"On My mark, Contestants.......BEGIN" The Announcer shouts out, the crowd immediately cheer as our four contestants dive face first into the pie in front of them. Immediately the Zora takes an early lead, taking large bites of the delicious pie. Followed by Paca, attempting to keep pace. 

Theo is a close third, He was momentarily caught up with his opening bites but appears to finding his own rythm. Coming in last is the rotund hylian, who is grabbing fistfulls of the pie to stuff into his awaiting mouth. 

Make Con checks. 

Paca finds himself unable to keep up with Theo and the Zora, both of whom find themselves in a dead even heat. Devouring the pie at an equal pace, their faces caoted in the mixed colours of the berries used as filling. 

The rotund Hylian stands up from the table and walks away, unable to eat anymore. 

Third round, Con saving throws. 

With one last gasp, Paca tries to rally back. Digging his face into the innards of the delicious pie, taking massive bites. He feels like his jaw is on fire as he works to chew threw the pastry and berries. Yet he finds himself unable to continue, his stomach is bloated and you fear that you cannot suffer another bite. Paca slides his chair back and pushes the remainder of his pie tin forward on the table. 

The Announcer raises his hands in the air, the crowd stops cheering. Waiting patiently for him to speak. 

"Two of our contestants are unable to continue, so these two individuals!" He points to Theo and the Zora, both of whom are now looking around at their surroundings, berrys clinging to their faces. Understanding that they are the last two remaining, sit back and await what the ruling will be. 

"These two gluttons of delicious, home baked pies will move on to.......The Final Pie" Ooo's and Aaaaah's come from the crowd, the announcer plays it up like its going to be a monumental reveal, proving to be quite the talker. The two Gerudo return, this time carrying a very different pie than the one you had just consumed. While the pastry looks crisp and still warm, the filling does not have a sweat smell as it did with the berry pies. 

These are two very large Meat Pies. The Gerudo take the half consumed berry pastries from the table and set the Meat pies down infront of Theo and the Zora. 

You are given a moment to catch your breath Theo, and prepare. 

Theo nods at the Zora. “You’re quick! Let’s down these pies!”

The Zora scoffs at you Theo, giving you a look that says 'I know I am' without returning any words. He prepares himself as the Announcer steps back onto the raised platform. Immediately the crowd begins to cheer again, recognizing that the contest is about to continue after a short break for the contestants to catch their breath. 

"Here we go folk, These two titans of overendulgance are about to go head to head in the last Pie!" The man turns to face the contestants, this time he has a small, cilsver stopwatch in his left hand. "Contestants ready?" Both Theo and the Zora nod, giving the go ahead. The Announcer raises his right hand. 

......."BEGIN" His right hand comes down in a slicing motion as he presses onto the silver knob on the stopwatch, both contestants dive headfirst into a freshly baked Meat Pie. Immediately your face begins to burn Theo, the heat from the freshly cooked meat searing against your flesh as you dig into a very familiar tasting meat. You have had this many, many times before growing up, It's Goat meat. There is an overabundance of Goats in Hyrule, making their meat one of the most popular. 

Immediately Theo takes an early lead, devouring a clear quarter of the Pie with the Zora following just behind him. 

Theo bolsters his lead, able to consume another quarter of the large meat pie. Gaining himself a clear two second lead over the Zora, both contestants are now visibly wincing at the waves of heat, blasting against their faces from the centers of their respective dishes. 

The Crowd are very one sided, feeling the air of superiority coming from the Zora. They are all chanting "THEO, THEO, THEO". Giving you a much needed boost in morale as we head into the Third round. Theo you get a d10 inspiration as the crowd cheer you on. 

There is determination in Theo's eyes, He wants this. Not only for the prize, but to show the Zora that this was never a fair contest. His pace never falters as he gulps down large portions of the meat pie effortlessly, finding a certain rhythm in the cheer of the crowd as he pushes even further ahead of the Zora. Who is unable to keep pace, falling way behind the more dominant Theo. 

"THEO HAS PULLED AHEAD, IT SEEMS LIKE HE IS GOING TO WIN THIS FOLKS" The Announcer screams with delight over the two contestants, locked in this battle of stomachs. 

Theo absolutely demolishes the last quarter of his pie, scarfing down the remainder of the pastry in a record time. With the empty tray in his hands, he slams it down on the table with authority. Showcasing his very clear dominance in this instance, the Announcer clicks the stopwatch again. He stands up, kicking his chair backwards as he swallows the last of his pie. Letting out a roar of victory, equal to the bellows you have heard from Dagoro. "WE HAVE A WINNER" The announcer screams, the crowd absolutely erupts. 

The Zora finds himself unable to even finish the last of his pie, quickly leaving the table while holding his stomach. His body visibly lurching as he was about to spew what he had just consumed. 

"THEO, LADIES AND GENTLEMAN! tHE FIRST WINNER OF THE PIE EATING CONTEST" The Announcer lets you soak in the roaring applause you are receiving Theo. 

Theo soaks in the attention. He hasn’t ever really been in the spotlight, and he’s loving it. He glanced over at the Zora, then quickly looks away. Taking the Cloak of Elvenkind, he puts it on around himself. It’s a little long, but that doesn’t matter. He goes back to the group, saying, “Wow, that was crazy! You did well, Paca! Look at this cloak that I won!” Theo is talking really fast, his heart racing faster than ever before. He shows off the cloak that he just got.

"Theo.. that was amazing! You did great! What a prize!. I looks good on you." Paca pats Theo on thebback, gently as to not make him spew.

"Nice job Theo!" Quiggley will say horsey after shouting for everyone  then finishing with shouting Theo during the meat pie.

"A very good showing, Theo, and a nice prize to boot", Praxius says to Theo after watching the pie eating contest in relative silence.

He then wanders back over to congratulate Dagoro for his successes at the arm wrestling. "An amazing feat of strength, to win time after time. You have been doing this a while", he says to the big Goron, "maybe you would accept my challenge when you have recuperated a bit?".

Quiggley flies up and looks around to see what 1st round challenges are still available to join. Once he has a good Idea he will return to the group to tell them what and where.

But of course he can't see a thing over the crowd.

Dagoro welcomes you warmly Praxius, his large hand patting your shoulder. "Thank you kindly friend, I would welcome your challenge but perhaps we are meant to meet in the sumo ring!" He chuckles, gesturing to the large ring that has already been set up for the contest. "Of course there is another contest that could test your strength if you are looking for one." He points across the square, directing your attention to a sandbag toss. You can see a heavy bag of sand being tossed up into the air, trying to reach high enough to pass over a simple wooden pole. 

"It's tougher than It looks, I assure you." 

Quiggley, in the immediate area there are dozens of contests being held as you can clearly see the growing crowds that surround each one. While you are unable to really discern what each contest is, you do note that one is set on a stage. Where a Goron is currently playing a set of drums for a crowd of cheering onlookers. 

Praxius’s gaze folllows the line of Dagoro’s pointed finger and clocks the sandbag throwing.

”Aye, that might do just as well. And it would be an honour if I could face you in the Sumo, although I would suggest you would be the favourite”, he says matter of factly.

”Either we will face off there, or I will be in your corner”, he says to the big goron as he inclines his head slightly and then moves over to the sandbag tossing competition.

Quiggley quickly flies down to Paca and Theo. "There's a big stage in the center were a Goron is playing drums! I think that's the music contest! Come on. I'll lead from the air follow me!"

Quiggley will fly high enough above them to see the stage and point in the direction they should go, staying as directly above them as he can.

Paca perks up with excitement. "Let's go!" He follows Quiggley very eagerly.
