OOC No worries. Yes, that was for the second round. Now, your first roll here is a 15 which is already enough for you to win the second round. One more round to go.
The hulking man gets his head smashed on the table. Not a nice thing to see. Although, in the end, the man should be proud since he got a new scar. He stands up again, his face a bath of blood, gritting his teeth, he launches himself in the last assault.
OOC It means that you can lose four more times to be completely out of combat. Which is highly improbable.
The momentum of the hulking man catches the Goliath not fully prepared. Gertrude falls on the ground, short of breath, but able to stand up quickly. The Thundering Lizard is now in chaos. Fifty people have come to watch the match. Bettings and toasts come from every corner.
"hummm... could you be more specific on your vision. You see, my mentor always told me, knowledge is the path to wisdom, any little fact you left out could be very important..."
"For the traveling, we are in fact close to depart, yes, but more towards the Kobold Mountain - south-west - If I'm not mistaken.. I could have a chat to my friends and see if you'll be welcome - that if you want to come with us towards this destination"
"I....apologise, I do not have any specifics. Visions are... blurry. Please come with me to the temple. I take my gear, and you introduce me to your group."
The temple is old. Flagstones are made of multi-coloured crystals. Almost everywhere, there are crystals balls, lighted up likely by minor spells. On the other side of the aisle, stand the altar and an old man, probably Grandfather Zitembe. He is speaking heatedly with three young men. They are disagreeing on something. As soon as they notice a newcomer, they drop the discussion and take the leave.
Kurma follows Inete. "You understand that we'll have have to check with my fellows, but I'm confident you'll be welcome. A priest is always welcome".
Then, whispering... "they seemed pretty upset... Is something wrong ?"
Irommek is thoroughly enjoying the show and starts a betting pool among the patrons. 1 gold for everyone that wants to bet on the hulk while he stands by Gertrude.
Are there any patrons that wish to bet a gold on the final battle?

Gertrude stands up, lays 30GPs on the table and motions both hands upwards in a rhythmic fashion, getting the patrons clapping for a crescendo in the finale:
Again she closes her eyes, growls and then roars until the walls of the Thundering Lizard shake and gets herself into RAGE a second time. For one millisecond she smiles as now the Lizard is actually Thundering.
Then she concentrates all her strength on her next arm wrestle:
In an otherwise nice day in Port Nyanzaru, bystanders outside the Thundering Lizard see a man flying, coming out from one of the windows, smashing his head in the barrel on the other side of the road. From the inside screams of congratulations and toasts are heard, while a foreigner Goliath is now proclaimed new Queen of the fighting arena. Tej and boar meat are offered to the new Queen by the Tabaxi bartender.
OOC So if you did not touch your currency since the wrestling matches you should just make it a + 10 (the difference between the lost round and the final round.)

Athletics 17
OOC: Ohh, I thought that was the 5th fight... would my RAGE still be on? (Can I back out here - really don't want to lose all that money)
Ok, here we go. Gertrude braces herself for a hard fight. The HULK has blood dripping down his face. He looks just as raging as she is...
She growls again:
Athletics with Rage: 14
OOC: What does that mean now?

OOC: Ok, how much money am I putting down now? Oh, and how long will my rage last?
Gertrude shakes off the pain, and gets set for the next round...

Oh oh, seems her muscles are starting to shake...
Irommek is holding his breath in anticipation
The hulking man yells at the Goliath. Athletics 14
He literally lowers his head and charges at the goliath's belly. Not cool.
Arrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhh........
AGAIN:
Athletics with RAGE: 23
The Goliath does not give up. It is not in her nature.
Athletics 11
OOC OOOOOOOO critical fail!!!!

UUUUUUUaaaaaaarrrrrrghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
This was FUN!!!! Thanks everyone for watching!! But I'd take a lemonade, please, Seven! This day can only get better!!
OOC: So, how much did Irommek and I win now (confused with me losing in between)?
Irommek has earned 5 gp for the bet.
Gertrude has a net of 10 gp from the wrestling.

Awesome! Gertrude is celebrating for a couple of hours into the evening, but when the high ebbs, she can feel, her body is over-tired.
She will spend the night at the Inn to be fit for the races the next day....
