"Climbing eh?" The barbarian eyes you scrupulously.
"Your turn indeed!" Adrana exclaims, clearly seeing the tension rising. "It seems none of us should take these two newcomers for granted! Now... Let us see how your friend does"
As Nebulas sits and takes form and position, your hands are clasped and released again as the dragonborn says "Ready!... Go!"
As you begin exploring the hall, your attention is drawn to the large board filled with slips of paper like the one your took from the inn. The sheer size of the board and realization that every one of those pieces of paper represented a separate job is a lot to grasp. Even for the time of night there are a decent number of people within the guild hall, though you've already started to see a few head upstairs. There are others drinking, chatting, and playing cards. The bard seems to be wrapping up for the evening and cleaning his instrument. How would you like to spend your time waiting until the meeting the next afternoon?
Valzes walks up to the group with a smile. "Greeting! May I ask what is this place? I saw that symbol before." She points to the symbol on the building.
Furious from the last defeat and not willing to go down easily, the barbarian gets a little better start to you and forces you back halfway to the table before you stop his momentum, every tendon in your arm pulled lute string tight.
Belch, having followed Nissa to the job board, looks over it in awe. He ponders what to do for the interim until the meeting tomorrow, then turns to Nissa. "Mmmshare room? Will need to soak in mmmorning, otherwise not sure what to truncate time with."
Feeling the force of the barbarian on his arm, his eyes begin to glow a deep orange as nebulas releases a bit of the beast within and with a fierce roar forces back extremely hard on the arm of the barbarian.
With your surge you not only push the barbarian back to the apex, but force him back to the point where his knuckles are barely hovering over the table's surface. In this moment his eyes lock onto yours.
Once you reach the large doors, you pull on the handle and it begins to open lightly as a light washes over you and causes some disorientation and blurs your vision for just the briefest of moments before you feel normal again {Roll an arcana check}. Once your vision comes back into focus you have to track many things going on at once. The room beyond the door is massive with many tables off to the right and a large bar beyond that, all filled with an assortment of different races with seeming to be enjoying downtime together, laughing, arm wrestling, and conversing as though it wasn't about to be dawn. To your left is a large desk with 4 people behind it assisting a line of people. Behind the desk is a wide set of stairs leading to a large balcony that curves entirely around the circumference of the room. Straight ahead of you and to the back of the room is a very large board with many individual papers pinned to it. There is no visible fireplace but the room feels very warm and inviting. At this point you've been standing in the doorway for a few moments taking everything in.] The group that entered before you has begun walking around the room.

"Wow!" Valzes exclaims in awe. What an interesting place. She runs over to the arm wrestling table and standing there watching the show with her eyes wide open.
As Nebulas locks gazes with the barbarian, he shoves more strength into the effort and finished off the man with a thud as his fist heavily lands on the table top.
As this happens, Valzes makes her appearance at the table, drawing the attention from Ayo as he backs away...
The Dragonborn notices this and exclaims, "You approach our lot and challenge us with your friend fearlessly, but cower at the appearance of this girl? Ha! We've found his weakness finally!" Ardana finishes with a laugh and grins at Ayo before turning to Valzes. "I owe you a drink for that laugh, beautiful one"
Valzes is confused by the look from Ayo and the exclaim from the Dragonborn. "Ha... Thank you, I guess?" She smiles at the Dragonborn then looks at Ayo curiously. "Is that something wrong with me?" She touches her face then touches her horns. "Is it because of my horn?"
Ayo shrugs, "I don't take praise well. usually It resulted in a beating. better to hide." he looks at Valzes "I assure you, I have seen stranger things than your horn" he cocks his head "less eye-catching as well" he freezes as he thinks about what he just said, then closes his mother and looks back down at the table.

Nebulas says to the barbarian "that was a good match." Then looks over at Ayo blushing a laughs.
