“Oh!” Zelifarna giggles with Lythtil, correcting. “I’m more interested in the treasure!” Zeli dosent budge, nor feel the slap on the shoulder. It’s like you hit a stone boulder when your hand connected, giving off a beautiful bronze glittery pop when the slap connected. “Isn’t this exciting?” She smiles.
Keep it up guys, duel tomorrow then we move on! Place your bets with FC!

Astrid casually walks over and sits in Leon's lap, munching on snacks from the kitchen. "Ooooh, Mr. L, it's like a real live wrastlin match in our very own house! How exciting! Who are you betting on? I vote for Missus Dragon. She's AWE...SOME! Oh, wait, she's not fighting? Well bummer. I was hopin' we get to see a big honkin' dragon kick some ass!"
So today we're going to have our duke out and delve into the vault, ok? Zelifarna will be the referee, and we can post the fight here - doesn't matter to me. I do want to push the story forward today, so after the fight we're gonna lick our wounds and head out to the vault. Waterdeep just so happens to have a large gladiatorial arena, and Nim has been very busy making signs and posting them throughout the city. Looks like there's going to be quite a turnout. FC has been busy taking care of the wagerings for this public event, and so far it's been pretty equal as to who is betting against who.
The fight will commence later today, and then onward we go with the next vault post.
INTERLUDE ARENA MATCH: PHERAL VS. AZRAEL THIS AFTERNOON
Zeli goes to meet the Waterdeep Arena Management Team with Nim in tow. Maintaining human form as promised, Zeli puts on the charm to arrange the event. With her hundreds of years of experience and connections, she's able to win the charm and favor of management and the public to pull of a massive crowd. Nim is able to create and post signs that market the event locally, and Zeli promises to bring in people from around the realm to watch and bet on the match - AND you all receive VIP seating with free food.
(The best part is, she's not interested in any financial gain from this afternoon.) Zeli will referee the event.
Pheral and Azrael will face off in the arena. Rest and prepare your abilities. Make sure your character sheets are updated with the correct information, Zeli will use them as reference during the fight. Anything goes. No cheating. You guys will roll for initiative and duke it out. The crowd is expecting the be entertained.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Azrael prayed, as he always does, that morning. Asking Bahamut to watch over this fight. He ate a light breakfast, so as not to overstuff himself. He meditated and rearranged his spells to be more suited to a one on one fight, as usually he was ready for several different types of enemies. THis would be a fight he wasn't used to. He wasn't used to being able to prepare specifically, and it was odd.. it was so easy to pick his arsenal when it was ambiguous, when it was just one person... he had so many factors to consider.
------
Azrael made his way to the arena, and took his place inside his side of the ring, in the team B cage.
Initiative: 9
(HA better than a 10 I guess)
Azrael stepped out as the announcers started making their announcements, preparing himself mentally. He would say nothing to Pheral, and he wouldn't respond if she asked him any questions. He was in this moment alone. His expression was deadly serious. His tail was stiffly against the ground, his eyes locked to Pherals. he would stop at 30 away, as was custom. Now, he only waited for the announcers to call for the start of the match.
Are we both allowed to ready one action? or do we go entirely after-initiative roll?
Astrid, sitting on Leon’s lap, is currently screaming her lungs out with cheers for both gladiators. She suddenly stands up, throwing her arms high in the air, starting “the wave” which travels around and around the coliseum multiple times, exciting the roaring crowd even further.
Taking a break from the pre-fight festivities, she steps away to hit up the free food concession stand. Stumbling back to her seat (aka Leon’s lap), she can hardly see over the massive pile of food and snacks she’s lugging back.
Leon didn’t particularly want to come to this whole event as, one, it wasn’t his kind of thing and, two, it was a fight between two of his teammates, but yet there he was, Astrid on his lap hooting and hollering her voice away. At least she wasn’t annoyed at this whole thing, not that FC and Dani seemed that angry either.
He eyed the arena with irritation, waiting for this fight to be over and done with.

Dani wasn't annoyed per say, her face showed a mixture of amusement and exasperation as she found a seat next to Leon and Astrid. "This should be interesting." She said, eyebrow raised.

Pheral Dresses in her best armor and dons her pair of cutlass and her crossbow. She forgoes the regalia of her had and sir-coat as this fight might get a little heated.
She surveys the arena looking for terrain advantages.
Once prepared she takes a deep breath and readys herself to throw down with and admittedly tough opponent.

The entire arena environment was new to her. She had never been in here and the experience was a little overwhelming - the noise, the heat, the massive crowd.

“I’m not going for anyone in particular,” Leon says at an attempt to join in conversation to try and ignore his souring mood. “This was bound to happen, I didn’t expect it to be at this kind of scale but..” He sighs.
“I just want this to be over with already.”

Zeli makes her announcement. "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. THE HEROES OF WATERDEEP AND SAVIORS OF RAENAR NEVEREMBER ARE HERE TONIGHT FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE AND ENTERTAINMENT. TO MY LEFT - WE HAVE THE ROGUE...PHERAL SHADOWBRAAAAAAAAANCH."
The crowd goes wild.
"TO MY RIGHT, WE HAVE THE SORCERER....AZRAEL ZIFANDIELLLLLLLLL!" The crowd goes wild.
She waves both of you in, uncomfortably close.
"Alright, you two. Let's keep it clean, no cheating. I'm keeping track of you guys. The crowd is expecting some entertainment tonight, and that's exactly what I promised them this day. Don't hold back, don't fake it, and I will heal you guys right after the fight. We've got lots of people betting on your guys today, so go give em a show."

Leon is left there on one knee, staring blankly at nothing. He moved to sit cross legged on the floor, his dead gaze not faultering.
”What the ****.” He mutters his hands soon holding his head. “I should have never left the monastery.”
