(Just to make sure we are good you need to be casting this at max level I am letting it slide this time no problem but it should be getting cast at lvl 5 or 6 1 foot in a direction, bow should be 6+ feet but I'm also considering the fact that Druquilla is shorter.)
Also Kraven what do you mean by your level? As in your height?
At first Gintarou looks around the shop shelf absentmindedly. The weapons of Oahtu aren't what he expected. His stomach demands food and his mind is attracted to the wrestling match that will take place tonight.
Then they came into his sight. He can't believe what he found. Especially the prices." Scroll of Booming Blade is 12gp. And Scroll of Crease is 19gp!? " He thinks for a while then brings the two scrolls to the counter.
Action: Gin will buy Scroll of Booming Blade and Scroll of Crease. Also he will check when the Wrestling Match will start and if unofficial participant is allowed.
Scrolls are bougth no problems. As for the wrestling match you know it will be a few hours still before it starts, when you ask about unofficial participants the one Oahtu one of the crier gives a bit of a laugh, and then points to a billboard where you see a picture of two... balls? (phrasing) the balls are groups of 20 Oahtu holding arms and legs with hands and feet the image looks like they are rolling to one another. "Outsiders have tried but failed, the ability to hold with ones feet is important in the match. Also this is the Championships, no one would give up their spot on a team."
Does Gintarou want to attend the match to watch?
I will wait till I hear back about the wrestling match and what Jonpawl means by his level and I can resolve that and push forward.
" Oh the spirits of my ancestors… " Gintarou narrows his eyes as he looks up at the billboard. " It's a shame that I can't participate. But at least I can enjoy the show. Are there any betting on the match? "
"Of course there is betting." He points out a well ticket booth looking area at the point of originally passing it is closed and I'm assuming that this is when Gin would have stopped to talk. "They will open in a few hours, all the pay out odds are up on the board there if you want to take a look."
[OOC: to be honest I re-read what I wrote and even I have no idea what I meant to say, though I am sure "level" is a miss-type...anyway, think we are resolved per our messages. Also I need to do some re-rolls in our message as I done goofed. Looking at my sheet on mobile something went wonky.]
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Kraven joins the rest of the party after they walk out of the shop and expresses interest in joining Gintarou to the wrestling match.
"Before we go wrestling match can we stop and get something to eat," as his head continuously swivels around at all the creatures passing by, "for some reason I am famished for food."
As the party walks Kraven will move up to walk next to Mist and then slip a couple items into this bag.
Asking around you are pointed to the “best” restaurant around, “Fat Noa’kale’s Hole”. You are greeted at the by a an Oahtu who takes you to your seat. All the tables in the place you can tell are made from the mud of the earth and covered in spider silk cloth, Oahtu are sitting in chairs eating, and others are working. The host who brings you to your table looks at the chairs and then at you all and makes a noise, and two other Oahtu come over. “These chairs will not work for our guests, please fix it.” the two new Oahtu bend down to the chairs and put their mouth on the seats, pulling parts off then spitting them back down, using their hands to mold the seats. You sit down, the seat seems to still be a little wet from the Oahtu. The kitchen has a wide open view, there are 4 total Oahtu working in the back, the one that catches your eyes. He is the closest thing to fat you have seen, as a matter of fact even if you had seen others that were fat this guy would probably be the fattest, it of course must be Fat Noa’kale. Coloring of light browns and dark tans, 2 sets of arms, and a long snouted face. Every so often you see him put his upped hands to his mouth and then they come down with slime on them and then start to work with whatever food he was working with. A server come to you, “Names Hoa, the cicadas milk is extra good today today’s dishes are as follows, Berry and Milk mixed sauce over a bed of Nymph legs, a personal favorite. Noa’kales staple coconut tree root sap rods, over a mix of green vegetables, and today's special treat Lady bug steak, they have been trophallaxised for the perfect amount of time, enough to cause them to break down, but not so much they they become a full liquid, which I would think you might like that closer to your alls food, or so I’ve been told.”
I am of course good with retconning things because I want things to move forward at a decent pace. I am going to leave this post until either Wednesday morning to allow any betting to happen, then I will post the dice rolls and description of the match. Lastly and kind of ironically, I am a high school wrestling coach and we have our state championships this weekend, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. So from Thursday to Monday I will most likely not post at all.
Thematically how does the Oahtu Wrestling looks? 20 Oahtu grab onto one another forming a giant ball, they then use their extra limbs to push the ball around running into the other team, trying to push the ball out of bounds. The arena is about a foot long (keep in mind how small you all are it would look more like 60 feet long) and concaved inward to a small flat center. While pushing each other around the goal is to push the other ball into their endzone, any Oahtu that touches the ground in their endzone is then removed from the ball. Both balls return to their endzone and go again. The team left with 1 wrestler loses
Mechanically
How does the Oahtu Wrestling work? Each round I will roll a d20+ strength score for each wrestler still in, the losing team then gets another d20(once a team gets to 12 wrestlers it will be a D12 being rolled, then a 10 and so on) rolled to determine which Wrestler is out(if that wrestler is already out it will be bumped down to the next wrestler). Should the winning team win by more than 10 the losing team will lose 2 wrestlers. (for speed and ease of things I will roll up to 5 rounds at a time.
How the gambling will work if you beat for the wasps you will get a 1 for 1 on the gold. Ticks will be a 5 to 1 pay off. You can also decide to bet on an individual wrestler on if they will be left in the match, which means even the losing team will have an Oahtu left over.
Edit: I had posted the odds but I looked and I messed them up, I will fix this and repost.
Druquilla rolls her eyes as Mist walks away from her but follows after to purchase the bow, holding herself back from attacking the halfling for calling her lovey.
"Thank you, my little heart," Druquilla says through clenched teeth and a forced smile before taking a deep breath to calm herself before continuing, "This will do wonderfully to further my training. This is not the only thing I wish to purchase there is also a set of armor that caught my fancy." Druquilla points to the almond studded armor. "And if it would not be too much to ask two Potion of Healing." Once everything is purchased Druquilla will give a kind nod Mana'akau as she puts the gold on the counter.
After leaving the shop and finding the restaurant but before going in Druquilla will pipe up, "I will meet you back here, I want to drop my extra gear back in our room, and I will take anything else back that anyone needs." With that said Druquilla makes her way back to the room they were given with anything anyone else wishes to be dropped off where she will change out of her old leather armor and don the new set.
"Well I know nothin' o' sports but can't pass up a chance to win some gold!" Mist exclaims. "We'll have to come back after we eat."
At the table, Mist licks his chops at the descriptions of the food. "Why don't we just go the smorgasbord route and get two of each? And some ale!" He leans in to the waiter. "You do have ale, right?" Turning back to his friends, he rubs his hands together and says, "'When in Kuloa,' am I right?"
"House has three drinks, Auroch's Froth made from Aurochs milk so it hard to get, and to be honest who ever first thought to make it is nuts because Auroch's milk is nasty. Scorpion vodka, made from Scorpion venom. Lastly is Muddy water, an alcoholic made from a few different kinds of plants that you would call weeds. Total for 2 of each plate will be 4 gold 4 silver."
If you want to gamble let me know how much and who or which team you are going to bet for.
Gintarou barely suppresses his voice when he sits-down on the soft,warm and wet chair. " Smorgasbord is fine. Actually if Mist didn't say it, I would have suggested the same thing" The chair might be the most uncomfortable thing, he puts his bottom on but the food in the restaurant isn't bad. At least it tastes good for someone who had to eat almost every protein ( including a lot of bugs ) to support his growth.
Now it comes to the gambling. Gintarou isn't good at wrestling gambling. He prefers jumping in the match rather than betting the match. After a few minutes of thinking and watching how Mist bet, Gintarou deceids to bet his 20gp on the team Ticks. Then 10gp each for Wasps' Konala and Kealua, Ticks' Hau'oli'oli and Leia'lua.
Kraven thanks his friends for the food and is not that put off from what is served, he has had worse.
He is more interested in the entertainment vale of the match coming up than placing any type of bet. Though again his feathers get a bit twitchy being surrounded by so many people. For now he will just be watching but if anything in particular leaps out to him, he might not be able to resist himself.
After a very strong first round the Wasps knocked Iukekini out of the match.
During the second round 'Apona and Kapono let go with their legs at the end zone to try and dig in to stay in the match but lose their footing and get knocked out of the match.
In the third round the Ticks come out ready to wrestle and the Wasps are too cocky about how the match is going and Kealua does not let go with his feet fast enough and gets out.
Round 4 and 5 the Wasps come back ready to prove they are the best team in the city taking out Punawai and Wana'atoni in order.
Round 6 and 7 the Wasps completly dominated the Ticks taking out Ka'Amosa, Kakahi, Kele, and Haulani.
In the 8th round the Ticks put up a big fight but staid on their half of the ring, and Hau'oli'oli was knocked out of the match
The 9th and 10 round of the match were extreamly dominate the the Ticks lost another 4 wrestlers. Kuenekina, Alika, Nohea, and Kalili.
We are at a point where the Ticks' strength score is 34 less than the Wasps which means their is no way for the Ticks to win. They have 7 wrestlers left, I will roll a d7, what ever number is the wrestler who is still in at the end of the match, 7 and 8 will be for Mahoe
