TheAnvil originally said the contest would be Thoradin against one individual at a time. I'll let them run this as they see fit, and also manage the scoring.

If any characters don't wish to participate in the drinking game and would rather continue exploring, then I can organise that without any of the drinkers missing out on the story.

I slam a shot back and take on the game. 

Me win. Me drink all day. 

Con Save: 27 (19 +8)

Despite Throm's persuasion Hatch was neither convinced it was destiny nor willing to try drink again - but he was convinced the man probably needed this so wished him well in the drinking game. The tiefling paladin himself though soon grew anxious and went over to hail Willagee.

"I'm interested in finally tackling this spider problem you've got in the cellar, so if you could lead me and a couple others there. Also, if I could request some bread be sent over to the table over there with the drinking game going on. Don't know last time anybody ate around here besides me, but booze on an empty stomach might not be the best idea," he said, scratching at his neck near his recent vampire bite.

Throm overhears the mention of spiders and will gladly concede the competition for the chance to be useful. A fighter gotta fight and he’s only fired two bolts to no effect throughout this entire adventure. Puzzles and intelligence and persuasion are outside of his wheelhouse so give him a fight and the opportunity to show his quality.

”Hang on Hatch. I’m with you. Let me eat a little bread first and I’ll be ready to go.”

"Have fun with the spiders Hatch, Im gonna continue Drinking!" Lok yelled over his shoulder

"Dont worry, I'll drink enough for the both of us!" he continued with a laugh. 

"If im still on my feet by the end of it, I will join you guys down there." Lok added, before returning his attention to his drink

Lia sidles up beside Hatch to join his conversation with Willagee. She had been hovering near the drinking game, but quietly, so she wouldn't be asked to join. She'll certainly grab a piece of bread when it comes around though.

(Sorry for the delay. No home internet at the moment, and have to ration my mobile use. Can continue with the drinking game in the meantime if you like... Sorry for the inconvenience.)

 (That's okay, it happens. Am there myself in fact - ran out of high speed data so my smartphone's internet is quite slow at the moment. So I understand.)

OOC: The Drinking game is Contested Con Saves. My Con Save is +8 I rolled a 12 on my first roll with a plus 8. Sorry about the delay all I got busy all of the sudden and couldn't get back to this. Below is a list of what Has happened so far. Remember all ties go to Thoradin but Thoradin has to drink against each player accruing more minus to his roll.

- Thoradin gets 1 point over Lok (20 vs 10), Lok begins to feel queasy due to how quickly they knocked back the drink.

Thoradin grabs another drink slamming it back to face off against Throm, though with one drink in his belly he is a little worried at how easily Throm downed the strong ale.

Con Save (+8 for modifiers, -1 for previous drink, +7 Total modifier)

14

OOC: I missed one comment, yes each character is trying to beat Thoradin in 4 rounds. Meaning that if 3 people are competing against Thoradin there could be a total of -12 subtracted from his modifier. This also means that if Thoradin wins 2 rounds against someone they automatically lose due to the ties go to Thoradin rule.

Current Scores:

Throm has 1 win over Thoradin (23 to 14 respectively)

Thoradin has 1 win over Lok (20 to 10 respectively)

Thoradin grabs another drink, looking into the depths of the dark ale he thinks "Maybe this was a bad idea." Slamming it back to compete against lawless. (now with a -2 for a total of +6 to the roll)

17

*Lawless please use the die roller in the comments it is the die on the header bar and should show up as a rolled result. Typed in rolls will not count.

Despite the queasy feeling in his gut, Lok is not one to back down

"Im not done yet, pal!" The barbarian laughed, knocking back another drink

(with a -1, making it a +4)

20

While waiting for the internet gods to show favor to us mortals, Throm grabs another drink.

OOC: Con save +6 naturally, +3 being close to Hatch, -1 for the first round. +8 adjusted

Round 2 drink challenge Con save: 12

Willagee is most grateful for the offer to solve the spider problem, and says he is almost down to his last keg, so you aren't a moment too soon, although he is curious how you found out about the problem, as he doesn't recall speaking to any of you previously...

Leading the way into the back of the kitchen area, he points to a large double trapdoor set diagonally into the entrance to a stairwell leading down. This is the cedar entrance sir.

"You're free to make your way down any time you're ready, and I'll be happy to show my gratitude with complimentary services, sir."

"Great, will do," Hatch said, assuring Willagee the problem would soon be resolved.

So who all is going spider hunting?

The door to the inn crashes open and a harried half elf comes rushing in, looking over her shoulder until she is inside and closes the door. 

For a moment she just stands there looking around. She thinks to herself, ‘this place looks a lot bigger on the inside than it did from the outside. 

Quin spots the bar and walks up and sits on a barstool. “I need a very stout ale, if you have any.” She looks at the barkeep and smiles. 

Throm is all in for the spider hunt. He sets the second empty glass down more gently than he did the first and nods a welcome to the harried half-elf.

“Hello, this seems like a strange place, out in the middle of nowhere but there sure are a lot of people here.” Quin shrugged and glanced back at the door. 

"This place is stranger than you can imagine." Throm replies to the newcomer. "My name is Throm. Did you happen to see a pony tied up to the hitching post outside?"

"Nice to meet you Throm. I'm Quin. Actually there wasn't any place to tie a horse up outside but I did notice a nice set of stables. Perhaps your pony is in the stables?"

Throm mutters to himself, "Yeah, perhaps Flax is now a war horse ... " Then refocusing, he checks his faculties and alertness by quickly visualizing different targets throughout the room. "So, Quin, how would you like to help us with a spider infestation?"
