Fives walks up to a sign-up board, ready to sign up for the arena.
*I'll post their sheet once I get the chance*
The bulletin in the tavern seems to be currently cleared, with a single flyer noting that sign ups are to be made with the bartender.
Behind the counter is a tall looking warhorse-centaur, dressed in half plate armor with a steel maul. His hair is braided, a deep set frown on his face, currently speaking with a half elf paladin woman.
Fives waits patiently, then walks up when it is their turn.

A tall, broad armored figure makes their way to the bar, taking a seat right next to Kilra as the previous occupant quickly moves to get out of his way. He's a saltwater kipling, with facial stripes almost reminiscent of calligraphy strokes, a vibrant white tone ringed with ruby marks. His hair is curly, pulled back into a ponytail and colored raven black with a single reddish streak running through it. His eyes are friendly, with a smile barely showing his teeth, irises a mahogany brownish-red tone. He has several shell-like piercings on his face and ears, each a different species. His armor is the most impressive bit, however, with shell-like patterns of nautilus interlocking, scale-like plates, leather straps stylized like wired netting and a thick belt around the waist. The armor is painted with the same ruby markings that are on the kipling's face, swirling down the arms and legs in ribbon-like patterns. Each of the metal pieces looks almost like fish scales and are textured as such. Slung across his back are two massive battleaxes, each with blackened steel handles wrapped with dried and toned leather, a ribbon on each of their hilts. The blades themselves are serrated in a manner that would not only slice skin, but shred it, like the blade of a chainsaw. On the left side of his chestplate is a seal and a small banner, depicting the symbol of the Zaidanian High Guard. The kipling gives Kilra a little salute of greeting, smiling. "Kilra isn't it? I can't believe we're only now just meeting. I've competed here for a few years before, and I've heard quite a bit."
Kilra swings his head around, fanged grin not fading as he inspects the kipling, expression betraying just how thorough his eyes are. "I'm well aware of my reputation." Kilra boops him on the nose without getting up from the bar, switching the way his legs are crossed. "Though I can't say I'm quite aware of yours." Kilra raises an eyebrow as his finger pokes the High Guard seal. "Real fancy title, you've got. Can't say I've memorized each and every one of you, though, you'll have to jog my memory."
He waves a hand dismissively. "I'm required to wear the badge. Unfortunately." He reflexively makes a sort of snort or sniff sound when his nose is booped. "My name is Caokai Xian. I mostly stick with tournament and area fighting, but I think this year I'm more interested in trying out the more two versus two aspect of dueling." The kipling never drops his smile, but it takes on an almost goading note. "Still searching for a partner, or possibly a first challenger."
Kilra looks away into the ceiling, smile never fading but teeth becoming hidden. "The twos brackets are a rush, I'll give you that, but I've never quite found the piece to fit into my puzzle." Kilra lays a closed fist onto his forehead, clonking it twice as a faint green glow emanates from it. The blush fades from his face and the smile returns brighter. "At my minds proper capacity," Kilra sits up on the bar, leaning his weight on his arm like a picture book mermaid on a rock, "I could give you a shot." Kilra lets out half a laugh between sentences. "Could buy you one too, if ya wanted." He leans his head on his shoulder, tilting it a good 60 degrees. "I can't say no to a good challenge, if that's what you're raising, but I'm no gambler these days, if you were wanting to make a pretty penny off me. Emphasis on the pretty, for you, though."
"2v2s then, but I'd like to do some of both if possible. And I don't know how the bracket system works. I think I know most of the rules, but nobody's given me a thorough explanation yet."
The centaur jots the name down with a feathered pen on a sheet of paper in a foreign language, making a few marks by the side. “I’ve marked you down for 2v2s for now. If you’re not too sure on if you’d like to do 1v1s, you can go test out the combats by challenging people here.” He sets his pen down, pulling out a flyer and handing it to her. “Here’s the written basics, with an FAQ on the back. Essentially your brackets will be made by an upper committee that assess your ability based off of your registered blood sample taken upon entering through the planar port in Beilor. They run a quick analysis, and then try and match up others of your skill level in a minimum three round tournament bracket. Your tournaments will take place in a separate building in designated plain arenas for the first fights, then advancing into more environmentally complex ones. Combat goes until death or surrender. Dead folks are revived within the minute of death and the cost is waived by your entrance fee, which will be taken right before entering the arena. Prizes are of three different types: magic items, gold, and randomized. Randomized gives you chances at stranger prizes, like dragon cadavers or purebred stormmare mutants, or possibly old ancient texts and whatnot. Most just pick the gold. There’s typically a tournament every other week, more often than that if we got more people signing up. Multiple can also happen at the same time for different brackets.”
She nods. "Thank you. How much is the entrance fee?"

Would a tier 2 barrier tattoo be affected by the Medium Armor Master feat in this thread?
*No, it's not an armor technically, it just gives the benefit of it.*
