And who is this Aremag? And where might I find him?
"You do not know who Aremag is? Oh, my. The mouth of the bay is watched over by Aremag, a dragon turtle with a blind, milky left eye and a piece of its shell missing. Aremag demands that ships toss treasure into the bay to appease it. Aremag then gathers up the loot and hides it in its lair, which no one has yet found. The fee to appease him may be anywhere between 100 gold and 400 gold. He is fickle. If he is not paid he will sink the ship and most likely eat everyone. If he doesn't get us the great white sharks that circle the area surely will."
In a flash of orange and red flame; a long, thin obsidian rapier appears in Drita’s hand. Magma flows out of the hilt creating an ornate guard around the handle and dripping off the pommel, vanishing before it hits the ground. As the rapier appears from thin air, there is a strong smell of sulfur in the air.
She then looks at the Pterafolk and says In Celestial: “Im zjarr do të pastroj shpirtin tuaj.” The light around the beast amplified creating many shadows which crawl up its body and cling to it, the shadows vanish from its feet and a black aura swirls about the beast.
Drita points to the Pterafolk and flames flicker across its body.
"My fires shall cleanse your soul is what Drita the Redeemed said, ladies and Gentlemen."The announcer's voice says to the crowd.
The Pterafolk laughs and flies up 50' into the air his voice carrying loudly in the Coliseum. "I am going to eat you for lunch Dritaaaaa."
Drita looks at the beast as it takes flight bewildered. She follows its flight path with her rapier. "Begone foul beast!" As she says this the rapier begins to glow and she starts to lead her aim. A ray of purple-black energy streaks through the air and collides with the Pterafolk square in its chest, the energy crackling loudly as it dissipates into the aura.
The crowd Oohhhs at the display of magical power from Drita.
The Pterafolk lets out a loud screech and dives at Drita stretching out its claws. She swipes at Drita with the first claw and rips open her shoulder as blood begins to trickle out, the second claw misses as Drita dodges to the side. It opens it's huge mouth and tries to bite Drita but she bats the mouth aside with her rapier. Drita is frightened by the Pterafolks display. The Pterafolk lands next to Drita and starts circling her.
When the pterafolk lands, she looks down at her now bleeding shoulder, she points a finger at it and in Infernal this time says "Αυτό θα σας κοστίσει τη ζωή"
"And Drita continues to taunt the Pterafolk in Infernal showing why she needed to be Redeemed by the great Ubtao. She said That will cost you your life!"
The Crowd begins chanting Drita's name but when she misses you hear a collective sigh from around the Coliseum.
With that, the pterafolk is engulfed in bright orange and red flames. While he is engulfed in the fire, Drita's rapier begins to glow a radiant white light, "Now Bask in Horus' light". She thrusts it into the Pterafolk. but he dodges.
Pterafolk flies away.
Drita curses at it "Goddam you lizard with wings. Stay still" She launches another ray of purple-black energy into the air that goes wide with her frustration.
The Pterafolk screeches seeing his prey down below and dives his claws rake across Drita's body ripping long strips of flesh off her shoulders and arms. He bites down with his beak and rips a chunk out of Drita's neck and gobbles it up as he turns and flies 20' back in the air. Drita is clearly frightened of the display from the Pterafolk.
As the Pterafolk begins to fly away, Drita, while grasping her neck, raises her rapier which still burns with the bright holy light and skewers her foe. The Pterafolk shrieks with pain and convulses at the end of Drita's rapier before going limp.
She kicks the Pterafolk off of the end of her rapier and raises her Rapier into the air in a triumphant victory, then collapses to the ground.
The coliseum erupts with sound as the crowd stands on their feet clapping and stomping their feet.
"Holy cow ladies and gentlemen, what a display of arcane power from Drita the Redeemed. We will take a 1/2 hour break ladies and gentlemen. Visit Ralphs for all your Gladiator merchandise. Ralphs can be found at the Northern gate."
Roses come flying onto the arena sands as the healers walk out and lead Drita off the sands.
Drita gets lead back to the gladiator room and is handed a pouch of her winnings. "Dengo says don't forget to be back at noon tomorrow or they will hunt you down and throw you in executioners run like the contract says that you signed. Good fight." The healer heals you and hands you back your clothes.
I forget what I was going to say so I'll leave this here in case I remember. But you're free to leave the arena now Drita.
Drita heads to the Thundering Lizard for a meal and some ale. She will sit at a table in the corner so she can see everything in the inn, she will pull out a Scroll of Comprehend language as well as ask the barkeep for something to write with. Drita reads the scroll and will then translate the note in Grung that she was given by the Captain.
Yellow catches Drita as she is leaving the arena after being patched up. "Drita," she says, grinning at her. "You were quite the warrior in there. I pray your battle tomorrow goes as well as this one did." The tabaxi leans in and pokes the aasimar in the ribs with a claw. "Perhaps you will show our dwarf friend who is stronger — him or you," she grins. Her eyes widen as an idea occurs to her. "Perhaps I should see if they will allow me to fight tomorrow as well. Double our chances of showing these men which is the weaker sex." She turns to re-enter the arena. "I will see you later."
She finds her way to Dengo, posturing a little before the man. "Good fights today," she says by way of greeting. "I know you have in the past held special events where a challenger is only required to fight in one battle as long as you are able to pick the opponent. I'm hoping to sail out of Port Nyanzaru the day after tomorrow, but am interested in perhaps fighting one battle tomorrow. What do you say?"
Upon exiting, she is astounded by the number of people cheering for her. She sees Yellow, "I thank you Yellow. I hope tomorrow goes a little smoother than today." She rubs her neck where the Pterafolk had bit off a nice piece, but then laughs, "Yes maybe we should prove to them that women in battle are not a force to be reckon with."
Drita stops at the Red Bazaar to look for a shield, she had a close call and doesn't want to have that experience out in the jungle where healers may not be at the ready.

After shopping, Drita heads to the Thundering Lizard for a meal and some ale. She will sit at a table in the corner so she can see everything in the inn, she will pull out a Scroll of Comprehend language as well as ask the barkeep for something to write with. Drita reads the scroll and will then translate the note in Grung that she was given by the Captain.

I'm hoping to sail out of Port Nyanzaru the day after tomorrow, but am interested in perhaps fighting one battle tomorrow. What do you say?"
Dengo looks Yellow up and down, circles around her. "You think you can fight yes? You willing to do special event yes? You waive your right to pick and just I pick in exchange you're only required one bout not two yes?"
Dengo pulls out his clipboard and grabs a special form from inside his desk. " You sign contract yes? If you no show we tract you down and by the laws of Port Nyanzaru we throw you in executioners run yes? What is your name and what are your accomplishments yes?"
Yellow takes the contract from Dengo. Doing her best to ignore the man's prattling, she puts pen to paper. Satisfied with her answers, she hands the contract back. "I'll see you in the morning."
The captain puts out her hand and shakes. "I will see you and your traveling companions in two days time at sunup. Payment is to be expected before you get on my boat."
To sum up, Taggart and Solis got the boat, Krav fought, Drita fought, everyone watched, Yellow signed up for some "special event" tomorrow at noon, Drita is going to goto the red bazaar and pick up a shield before heading back to the Inn to decipher the Grung letter, Krav and Kaslo hired Eku for longer but haven't decided on a amount of time yet and haven't paid her yet, Everyone else is...
After talking to the others, Krav heads to the Red Bazaar (?), where he buys 20 days' worth of insect repellent, one more water jug, and 20 days' worth of rations. He then heads to the Thundering Lizard.

Earlier:
Krav nodded at Taggart, smiling ruefully.
"Aye. But Immeos is a good warrior for sure!"
He turns to Yellow, nodding in thanks for her words.
"I hope Ubtoa does the same for Drita, too! I look forward to seeing her battle."
Present:
Krav cheers as Drita leaves the arena.
And that's all I have to say about that.
(Prior to Drita heading to the inn ...)

Yellow is going to talk to Taggart and Solis to ask what they found at the docks.
After talking to the others, Krav heads to the Red Bazaar (?), where he buys 20 days' worth of insect repellent, one more water jug, and 20 days' worth of rations. He then heads to the Thundering Lizard.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Kvothe says to Krav "Hang on I need to get some more Aerogard (insect repellant), I'll come with you!"

Drita, having finished transcribing the note, scans the Inn and looks to see if there is anything or one that might pique her interest.

"Alright," Krav replies.
"These bugs sure are fierce! Even creatures like the dragonborn are annoyed by them, and they have tough hides."
He glances at Kvothe again.
"Speaking of that, I think we should be getting you some better armor. The regular stuff is only good for so long. And I need some new spears."
After they buy the repellent, Krav will take Kvothe to get +1 studded leather, then buy himself 2 magic spears.
And that's all I have to say about that.
"Thanks, this makes it easier for me to stand beside you as a true friend, come Hell or Highwater" Kvothe says to Krav.
DM - Stopping a god in his tracks
Krav nods. He is obviously touched by Kvothe's words, but attempts to hide his feelings with a
"Humph! Hope there's not too much highwater, though, what with that turtle we're supposed to see!"
And that's all I have to say about that.
