Theo gets back from getting some mugs of ale when
he hears Dagoro's words. His jaw drops to the ground
(ok, not that far) and he almost drops the mugs. Inside he’s thinking A chance to become a Knight? There must be something going on to warrant that prize, since I can’t remember the Knights recruiting being advertised. He hands them out to the party, saying, “Well, this is going to be a contest to remember. Drink up!” He downs his drink, watching the contest.

Quiggley takes the ale and flies it to a place to sit it down and begins sticking his head in for sips tipping the tankard.

Praxius faces off against his much larger opponent, waiting for the contest to start. He waits completely still, but his muscles are tensed and ready. His eyes are focussed on Dagoro’s, trying to read him and develop a strategy.

As the contest begins, instinct takes over…

Rae accepts the mug from Theo with a, "Thank you."  Standing amongst her new friends, Rae waits in anticipation.

As soon as the contest begins, Praxius takes a step to his left, perhaps intending to circle the much larger opponent. Unable to react to the smaller foes superior dexterity, Dagoro's left arm extends, pushing his palm into the space where Praxius had been standing only a moment before. His gaze turns to meet Praxius as his right hand strikes forward, hitting the large Goron square in the chest. Dagoro stumbles back for a moment, knocked off balance on his short Goron legs. The crowd let out a gasp of surprise, no one thought Praxius would be strong enough to truly give the Goron a challenge, they are being proven wrong. 

Round 2. Dagoro is off Balance, he loses his turn. 

Spotting his opening, Praxius moves into the Gorons body. Grasping upon two plates grafted to his rocky hide and Pushes against the far larger opponent. Again the audience let out a gasp of disbelief as Praxius forces the Goron back from the starting position. His face red with blood as his muscles strain and bulge to heave the heavier Dagoro forward, Managing to move the Goron back 3 feet from the starting position before Dagoro is able to get his feet back under him. The Goron shoves Praxius back with a smile on his face, he genuinely seems to be enjoying the challenge Praxius is presenting. 

Praxius moves to his right, now back facing the behemoth of stone as he was in the beginning. 

Round 3 begins. 

Paca, Theo and Rae, 

Theo sees the thing, and takes a suspiciously long look at his drink. “Am I just drunk or are you guys seeing this soo?” he asks Rae and Paca.

Quiggley, if he feels his first Guidance is used, will cast another on Praxius using a sorcerous point for distance of 30 feet instead of touch.

Rae sees the blue shimmer in the sky and rubs her eyes.  Hearing Theo's question, Rae looks down at her own mug.  She was too enraptured by the sumo match that the mug was still completely full of ale.  "I haven't drunk anything yet, and I see it too.  What could it be?"

Perception check: 16
Passive Perception: 15

Paca sees the blue glitter envelop the castle, "Wow, do you all see that? It's beautiful.. is that some form of art?"

Praxius spotting an opportunity to press his advantage, thrusts his palm towards the mighty Goron once more. This time however Dagoro bats his arm away with his own strike, preventing Praxius from gaining even more ground. His feet thud on the worked stone brick of the arena, slowlt encircling the much larger Goron, clearly using his more dexterous movement to his advantage. Dagoro does not move, instead turning to face Praxius. 

We go into Round 4

The faint shimmer slowly surrounds the castle itself and begins to slowly drift up into the night sky, There is something oddly serene about it. A calm sensation takes you, whatever this effect is, It is clearly meant to be part of the festival as several other people within the crowd comment on it. They each marvel at the solace and awe it provokes within them. 

Quiggley concentrates on the bout. For a second time if he feels his Guidance has been used and again cast it on Praxius using a sorcerous point. (two points have been used two remain)

The faint aura surrounding the Castle grows brighter and brighter with every second, It's getting to the point where all in attendance are able to see it. Most within the crowd are travelers, visiting the city for the Festival so they stop and stare at the marvel for just a moment. Then Praxius halts his momentum and moves to his left, drawing the eye's of the onlookers once more. Dagoro has a wide smile on his face, his hunched demeanor has brought him down to a more reasonable height so you are looking him in the eyes Praxius. 

Paca, Lizi has been oddly quiet in the last few moments. While the fairy had been enjoying the contests as much as the rest of you, Something odd is happening with her. She perches onto your left shoulder, her tiny legs are trembling. "P-Paca.....Somethings wrong." The fairy is on edge, her eyes flicking in all directions as she senses what you cannot. 

Praxius lunges forward and strike Dagoro square in the chest once more, knocking the heavy Goron back onto one leg.....A loud chime echoes through the city, First its only one. A second rings out, everyone grows silent as Praxius lunges forward to grab Dagoro and secure his Prize. A third Bell, closer than the other two loudly begins to ring. Affixed on top of the Knights Hall, with the braziers burning bright a shadowed individual works to ring the heavy bell. 

Immediately the two Knights in attendance leave the Square, heading for the Knights hall. Everyone begins to murmur among themselves, no one is quite sure as to what is happening. 

Quiggley looks up finally at the glowing castle at the chiming of the bells. He tries to remember if he recalls what this could mean.

16 Arcana

Praxius’s focus on the bout is all encompassing as he lunges for Dagoro a second time and shoves his opponent out the ring. So complete, in fact,  that he initially doesn’t register the tolling of the bells at all.

As the adrenaline dissipates, he looks up at his much larger opponent, not celebrating at all just throwing Dagoro a small grin of triumph.

It is then that his senses fully return and he hears the bells interposed by the murmuring of the crowd.

”What is happening? What do the bells mean?”, he asks the Goron in front of him, his victory forgotten for now.

Paca leans in to Lizi worriedly, "What is it Lizi? What is wrong? Is this not something that is supposed to happen?" Paca looks to the others and says, "Something is wrong. Lizi is very worried, her senses are always in tune to these things. Be on guard!"

History check: 6

”What are those bells? I’ve never even heard of them!” Theo whispers to the group. “Maybe we should check it out.” He starts to get up from the table.

Dagoro stumbles back, being forced out of the ring by Praxius but instead of congratulating his adversary, the Goron looks around trying to desperately gather what information he can. "I-I dont know Praxius, Im not from the City....." The Gorons left shoulder lurches for a moment as something connects with his boulder like back, the sound of metal clattering against stonework echoes within the sqaure. 

Dagoro steps back and picks up what had just struck him in the back, a single arrow. The Goron's eyes go wide, he turns to face the wall just as a volley of flaming arrows sail over it. "RUN, FIND COVER!!!!" The Goron bellows forth, leaping down from the ring to aid the panicing population in finding shelter. 

"We're under Attack!!!" A Hylian man screams out, clutching a small child to his chest as he flees from the Square. 

"An attack!" Paca cries as he sees the Goron begin to help the crowd. Paca runs to the giant Gorons side and offers aid. "How can I assist Dagoro? Let me aid you in helping these people!

“Come on!” Theo yells to Rae and Quiggley, already up from the table and running towards where the arrows were fired. “We have to try and stop the attackers!”
