Tandor bites into the final pepper of the challenge, and the audience waits with held breath.
To him at least, time seems to stretch out as the heat washes over him.
"We'll call it there! Four faced fiery flames and made it through the other side! Congratulations to your CHAMPIONS!", Kasem shouts, gesturing to his attendants and stepping off the stage.
The attendants rush forward with bowls of cool, creamy yoghurt for each of the contestants, one of them rushing out to try to find the departed Kip.

Trencher stands and cheers for his friends. "Not what I expected, " he says to Mialee. "I thought it would go on until there was only one winner." He shrugs and continues, "Can there really be FOUR winners?"
Mixtli stands up and doesn't need any milk after the easy win.

In the hubbub of the attendants coming forward and the crowd milling about, cheering, and paying out bets, Kasem has slipped towards the prep area, and seems to be arguing with his shoulder.

Kasem is behaving the way one might if they were scolding a small child riding on their back... or perhaps a small, invisible flying creature clinging to their shoulder.

Tandor gratefully accepted the yogurt. Several swallows of the cool substance helped sooth his fiery mouth. As soon as he was done, he thanked everyone and made his way towards Kasem, trying to catch the eyes of his companions.
Mixtli is still a bit preoccupied with receiving new congratulations.

Mixtli, suddenly noticing he his friends are not on the podium anymore looks around at follows towards the prep area.

"Yeah, let's go and congratulate them!"
He goes along, heading for the stage.
"Trencher, just so you know, looks like Kasem might know we know, or at least that we're here."
"Ok, thanks for the heads up. We will be ready for him."
Tandor gratefully accepted the yogurt. Several swallows of the cool substance helped sooth his fiery mouth. As soon as he was done, he thanked everyone and made his way towards Kasem, trying to catch the eyes of his companions.

Kasem has left the stage and ducked into the prep area, at the moment out of sight behind the fabric panels screening it from the public view.

Liber follows, especially if kaseem is responsible for the skull-visage peppers.
