Issachar saunters into The Silver Harp, hat set at a jaunty angle.  You can see he feels pretty confident.  He walks right over to Agela and says, Where do I sign up? After a couple of deep knee bends and stretches, he begins the tests: TEST OF STR: Climb 14 Grabbing the rope, Iss shimmys right up to the top.  As he drops to the floor, he smiles and heads to the next station. TEST OF DEX: Ranged Attack 12 Taking the dagger, he hefts it in his hand three times.   This feels a little off balance, but it'll do.   He whips it at the target, barely hitting inside the painted circle.   Close counts tonight, so I guess I'll move along, he says with a smirk. TEST OF CON: Fort 14 As he walks by the third table, he grabs the Elven Wine and gulps it in one swallow.  Wiping his chin with the back of his hand, he tosses the glass to Agela.   I usually prefer something stronger. TEST OF INT: Know(Nature) 7 Iss is feeling his oats tonight.  He is so sure of himself that he doesn't check back over his work and mislabels the skunk as a badger.   How was I gonna know I could take my time?  I thought this was a speed contest. TEST OF WIS: Perception 21 Agela, that's a naughty place to hide a dagger, he says as he slips it out of the top of her stocking. TEST OF CHR: Disguise 19 At the last station, Iss steps behind the screen provided for changing.  When Prytania walks out the other side, no one even notices, until she sits down at the same table as Prytania.  Iss pulls off his wig, makes a bow, and heads for the bar.   I think it's time for that "something stronger" I talked about a minute ago!!

SLOT 1 TEST OF STR: Climb 7 Fizziwik, dressed in his normal multi-colored clothing adjusts his hat a little as he approaches the rope.   All the way to the top?  That's an extra 3 feet for us short guys.   He shrugs, tests the rope with one hand and then starts climbing up.  About half way to the top, one hand slips a little and he almost falls, but he manages to get his hand back on the rope and shimmy on up to the top.  Back on the ground he takes a few moments to catch his breath. TEST OF DEX: Ranged Attack 14 Still a little out of breath from climbing, Fizziwik picks up the dagger with one slightly shaking hand.  He takes a deep breath and holds it for a moment while he tosses the knife, it wobbles a bit in the air and then strikes the target true. TEST OF CON: Fortitude save: 14 Ahh, I am a bit thirsty Fizziwik says as he easily downs the elven wine.   WINE!! Let's get a good ale in here next time.  I'd rather just drink some water.    TEST OF INT: Knowledge Nature: 9  Glad to have a moment to just sit and think, Fizziwik completes the quiz and turns his answers in with confidence.  His smile quickly fades though as the judge starts marking his answers wrong.   Bah, I missed 1 too many questions, I'll have to take my time next round. TEST OF WIS: Perception 14 Distracted by missing so many questions Fizziwik finds it hard to locate the dagger.  As he circles Agela several times, she begins to grow impatient Time is almost up Fizziwik, find the dagger or move on.   Fizziwik takes one more lab around Agela before hopping up on the chair next to her.   Aha, Here is your he reaches for a nobby thing protruding from Agela's hair   and sighs as he pulls it out hairpin.  I'll just put that back here....   Agela takes the hairpin from the gnome  good luck next time.   TEST OF CHR: Disguise 4 Fizziwik comes out from the behind the screen, confident that he is well disguised as a girl.  He does his best to strut up and down the makeshift runway before turning to the judges who all give him a thumbs down.  Hey Poppy  he hollers as he leaves the stage it didn't work, you can have your shirt back now.  

After finishing his meals and drinks, Kid decided to enter the competition before resting for the day. TEST OF STR: climb 13 Come on! We climb a giant ant cave with ease. This is nothing. Kid climb the rope with ease and slides down without problem. TEST OF DEX: range attack10 Sigh.I guess I use firearms too much to be able to throw knives properly TEST OF CON: fortitude 15 I own a brewery, a shot of wine is nothing! Kid gulps down the wine and smash the glass. TEST OF INT: know local 11 It's a wolf, it's a fox, this one's a dog. I think I 'll win this one TEST OF WIS: perception 10 What dagger!? TEST OF CHR: disguise 14 Kid enter the men's restroom to change his clothes. The men in the rest room shocked that a girl come out of the men's privy. Until of course he throw his wig and screamed  This night just getting started! 

Kabril is here!  But he does not expect to have much successes, as you are stripping him of his magic!   Shaking his head in disgust, Kabril signs up for the contest.  When it is his turn, he stands and raises his hands for the cheers that don't seem to be coming.   Perhaps you will cheer more when Kabril saves you from the dinos... TEST OF STR: Climb 8 Huffing and puffing, Kabril makes it to the top of the rope.   Do not be looking up Kabril's robe as he climbs, please.  All of his undergarments are in the wash. TEST OF DEX: Ranged Attack 7 Kabril calls foul!  He is certain the target has moved back.  Why else would the dagger fall so short? TEST OF CON: Fort 23 Ahhh, Kabril loves the delicate flavors of the Elvish Wine.  The aroma of flowers, the nutty undertones, the smoothness of thousands of years... TEST OF INT: Know(Nature) 10 The animals, they are all so alike on this parchment.  Perhaps the next time the druid is to be drawing them, yes? TEST OF WIS: Perception 18 Kabril easily spots the dagger, pointing it out from across the room.   It was an excellent trick, hiding it as one of your barettes, but Kabril sees all... TEST OF CHR: Disguise 9 Not understanding the final test, Kabril's beard gives him away immediately.   Kabril's beard is his honor.  He will not be hiding it for a contest.

TEST OF STR: Climb 15 Frerin approaches the rope and steadily climbs it up, his powerful arms, accustomed to hammering for hours on end, barely bulging beneath his shirt. As he gets down, his breath is calm and no sweat stains his clothes. Ain't as pretty as the view from atop of a Yew tree, but that rope will have to do. TEST OF DEX: Ranged Attack 16 Frerin reaches for his throwing axe, upon seeing the targets. Fortunately, he reads more carefully the instructions and sees that that will be up later. Humpf, I'll just have to get there then. I'll take you for a spin later, my beauty, don't you worry. He speaks softly to his axe. Grabbing the dagger rather clumsly, he throws it up a few times to get the balance, nearly stabbing himself twice in the process. But when he does throw it, the dagger flies straight into the target, thumping into the circle with great force, burying itself a good two inches on the wooden target. TEST OF CON: Fort 22 Ah, that be more like it! Frerin's face beams with pleasure as he approaches the third table, heavily laden with beverages. With a mighty gulp, he drains a whole bottle of elven wine. What do you mean it was just a dose? That wouldn't do, not at all. A true test would be at least a barrel of the stuff, I tell ye. Well, at least I'm not quite so parched anymore.  Feeling a bit self conscious about drinking the whole bottle, Frerin moves on to the next challenge.  TEST OF INT: Know(Nature) 23 A different kind of pleasure flickers trough his face now, the pleasure of one faced with an interesting task, at last. Drinking isn't a challenge, sure. But organizing these specimens, ah! Hum, humm... Yes, that's clearly a finch like these others, despite the seed-crushing beak; they have very different beaks, but at the same time are so alike... And those fins on the iguanas? Can it be that they actually swim? I'll be damned! That would be a first! [ooc] I couldn't resist throwing in a few references there. Kudos for anyone who gets where that came from. [/ooc] TEST OF WIS: Perception 16 Well Ms. Agela, I think you wouldn't appreciate if I were to reach for that dagger, on your... hem... thighs,  if I may be so bold.  Frerin's face blushed into a furious red, blending into his beard and hair, as he pointed to the hidden weapon. TEST OF CHR: Disguise 1 Still a little flustered, Frerin heads to the last challenge. When he sees all the women outfits, he reddens all over again. After fumbling really unconfortably for a few minutes, struggling with corsets and petticoats, he appears from behind the screens, feeling rather pleased with himself. I dare say, I handled the situation quite well, considering.... Little did he realize, however, that his abundant facial hair rendered any such attempt completely futile. As every dwarf knows, the secret to distinguishing dwarven lads from lasses is all about the beard. [ooc] The same, it's not a fantasy RPG without a Tolkien reference, right? [/ooc]

Kellen arrives early to begin the trials. Looking a bit nervous about a few of them, he goes in the usual order. TEST OF STR: Climb 28 Kellen quickly pulls himself up the rope, sliding down quickly afterwards. That extra three feet shouldnt be too big of a bother Fizz. TEST OF DEX: Ranged Attack 19 At this test, Kellen seems alot more confident, quickly tossing the dagger at the target he hits relatively on-target TEST OF CON: Fortitude 19 He quickly downs the wine, excited after his last trial, and then rushes off after issachar. TEST OF INT: Know: Local 11  Kellen slows down a bit for this one, barely figuring out the tricky badger-skunk combo. TEST OF WIS: Perception 39 Kellen doesnt stop moving for this trial. Looking around the room, he walks past agela, quickly muttering something about the dagger in the ceiling. TEST OF CHA: Disguise of 16 This trial gives Kellen a bit of trouble. Not being the best actor, he focuses more one the disguise. When Poppy walks around the corner she seems alot more nervous than normal. When Kellen reveals himself, nobody was really surprised, but he was excited about it!

     Ren arrives midway, people were already scurry about trying climb ropes and fund daggers. After hearing about it, Ren decides to join in as a way to kill time. TEST OF STR: Climb of -5 Ren sighed. Climbing.... Ren's ability to climb was about as bad as it get, having only 1 arm can really be a hassle in times like these. Ren grabs the rope and jumps, trying to get up with just his feet. After failing a few times he gives up and moves on.  TEST OF DEX: Ranged Attack 14 Ren was much more confident in this next one. He picked up a dagger and got ready to throw. Though today wasn't his best day as he lurched forward too much while throwing, he was still able to hit the target. (Dam I haven't thrown weapon in a long time. I should practice a bit before I forget.) TEST OF CON: Fort Save 20 Not entirely happy with his results so far Ren takes the wine and drinks it without a secound thought, treating it like water before moving on.  TEST OF INT: Knowledge Local 10 Ren knew he wasn't the most knowledgeable person when it came studied topics, but even he seemed to be able to identify the animals around him.  TEST OF WIS: Perception 28 As he was walking away from the animals Ren is easily able to find the dagger. Pointing it out he continues.  TEST OF CHA: Disguise 9 Awkwardly Ren tries his best to get clothes on and act accordingly but he knows this was probablly the event to lose for him. Nevertheless he gives a pathetic effort and fails. 

SCOURGE follows after kellen, careful not to shove people as she walks the inn. TEST OF STR: Climb 30 Scourge needs a new rope hung for her, being able to reach the ceiling without raising her arm very much. When the rope IS hung, she speeds up it, dropping down to the ground afterwards. TEST OF DEX: 17 ranged attack Its strange for the large creature to throw such a small dagger, but SCOURGE seems to do just fine. TEST OF CON: 13 Fortitude SCOURGE politely accepts the drink, and finishes it on her way to the next challenge TEST OF INT: 1 Know Nature Her first true failure, SCOURGE seems discouraged as she trys to figure out which animal is which. This isnt something she ever bothered to learn  TEST OF WIS: 22 perception Not noticing the other daggers hidden cleverly around the room, she approaches Agela, and mutters in terran, pointing at her thigh. TEST OF CHA: Disguise of 14 (rolled a 17) SCOURGE looks around the room concerned, trying to find someone to imitate. Deciding on a particular, she returns to the alcohol table, taking the empty bottle, and hurrying behind the screen. What emerges is a giant insectoid version of Frerin. While not very good at disguises, she can at least act pretty well, and have fun doing it.

Prytania SLOT 1 TEST OF STR: Climb 11 Prytania tied up the bottom of her stunning red and black dress, and prepared to climb the rope. She wasn't too used to it, but her height helped, for once. TEST OF DEX: Ranged Attack 19 (" Now, this one looks easy, there's no way I can miss from this close ")... With a twist of her wrist, she threw the dagger, which snapped right on the spot, earning Tania an easy pass into the next round. TEST OF CON: Fortitude save: 13 " Now ... THIS is the kind of test I'm interested in! ". As any teenager left alone with large quantities of alcohol, Prytania sweet-talked the barman a bit, and started chugging like crazy, drawing some weird looks around her. She seemed unfazed as she kept downing glasses. TEST OF INT: Knowledge Nature: NAT 20 (Untrained 10) It's not that she knows of these things, but having spent three months being attacked by every single creature around the settlement helped her identify the animals pretty decently. TEST OF WIS: Perception 9 " Huh? Dagger? Oh, yea, I did that one pretty well! " She said as she dismissed Agela and kept drinking wine. TEST OF CHR: Disguise 6 She tried to find some nice clothes in the wardrobe, but few actually fit her, and the rest, she was a bit unsure... Tania finally opted to pick up Kabril's former clothes and stick up a beard on her chin. " Even without my magics, you cannot beat me!! " - She claimed as she waved her arms. It was funny and all, but in the end, Agela decided that that wasn't really a man's costume and disqualified her.

Test of Str: 19 Viggo performs a handstand then climbs the rope upside down.  Test of Dex: 12 Viggo still standing on his head, focused more on being upside down than his aim, manages to hit the target. Test of Con: 24 Still upside down, drinks the elven wine easily. Ha, I was drinking Elven wine as a child. They drank it constantly in Greengold, and seemed to enjoy how upset my father got over it. Test of Int: knowledge 13 [10 max] Ducks go quack, sheep go baa, three singing pigs go LA LA LA Test of Wis: 17 It's easy to see your dagger from down here! Face beet red from his prolonged handstand. perhaps the wrong phrasing... Test of Chr: -1 Getting a little woozy,  It would be indecent for me to put that on.   I'm no quitter though and you already had a peep at my birthday.... Managing to get his clothes off and the dress on while upside down and one handed should count for something. Was there a curtian to change behind?

Test of strengh. Climb 12 This shouldnt be to hard.  Brags Raven. See I told you so He shouts from the top.....just before the rops snaps and drops him on his back in the middle of the bar breaking a table and several chairs on the way down. You dont climb in full plate fool Laughes Prytania as she taps his full plate....that he didnt take off before climbing the rope Test of dex.  Attack 15   Daggers? These are little people's weapons.   He said that under his breath hoping that Kellen didnt hear him and try to stab him in the back. THUNK   Hit that one in the center dead on. He turns with a twinkle in his eye Test of Con  Fort 13 Elvish wine? Why cant we have some proper dwarven drinks he says to the cheers of the crowd. Raven slams the drink back with the practice of a hard core drinker turning to his gnomish friends.   Its easy boys, its your turn now. Test of Int  Know nature 5 Greeeaaaat ask the dumb guy about what creatures are what and where they live.  Im not a druid......stupid test.   Raven pouts not recognizing that Kellen would never interfere in a fair competition, and has the ability to edit your posts, stupid fighter to  see what was what. Test of wis  perception 7 After the blindfold was removed Raven spent a good ten mins looking for the dagger....even going so far as to check Agela's stockings where she hid it before. I give up where is the dagger?   Everyone bursts into laughter and points out that the dagger was tied to the back of his chest plate. Test of charisma  dis 3 Strutting out to cheers and geers Raven walks around the bar pretending to be Prytania.  Sadly the fact that he pulled the dress over his plate mail ripping it....and put the make up over his helmet really didnt disguise him.  Only pointed out that yes he should never ever be asked to do this again.

Destra enters the tavern, amused by the others' antics. I suppose I better join in.  Free wine, after all. TEST OF STR: Climb [16] Destra is a bit awkward climbing a rope, it's clearly not something she does often.  She is successful, but doesn't take much pleasure in the task. TEST OF DEX: Ranged Attack [22!] Grinning, Destra flicks her wrist and the dagger strikes true, wobbling with the force of the impact. TEST OF CON: Fortitude [11] Excellent. Destra tastes the delicate, fine wine.   Ah, such flavor and texture!  She lifts a bottle and praises Agela's good taste. TEST OF INT: Knowledge (Local) [4!] That's a bird... that one's a bug.  I found one of those in my boot a fortnight ago. Continues drinking... TEST OF WIS: Perception [4!!] Drinks. The dagger is on the  target, where I left it. Drinks again. TEST OF CHA: Disguise [4!!!] Destra fashions a mustache out of some her hair.  It falls to the side halfway through her impression.

SLOT 2 TEST OF STR: STR 16 Iss feels a little stupid, arm wrasslin' a lady like Agela, but he's still feeling good about his chances.  After he slams her, he looks around a bit sheepishly and quickly moves to the next station. TEST OF DEX: Ride 20 Hopping on the horse, Issachar whips it on the rump with his hat and takes off.  Coming around the last turn, he's yelling at the top of his voice, YEEEEEEEEHAWWWWW!  Get up and go you ol' fleabitten nag!! TEST OF CON: CON 19 Holding his breath has never been a problem for Iss.  By the end of 3 minutes, he's still got breath left to whistle. TEST OF INT: Appraise 5 Luckily for Issachar, they brought out a short bow.  All he had to do was base his price on how much it cost him to build minus the cost of feeding Moko, carry the 14... TEST OF WIS: Sense Motive 18 HAR HAR!!  My ol' uncle Shem used to tell that kind of tall tale, Agela!   TEST OF CHR: Perform (Dance) 8 Issachar decides he can break out a jig like Uncle Shem used to do.  Maybe he should have had another glass of that Elven Wine...

SLOT 2 TEST OF STR: STR 10 Kabril feels almost certain that he can win at this arm wrestling against... wait, Agela must carry a lot of heavy things.  I've never met a woman so strong...  AHA!  Kabril is victorious!! TEST OF DEX: Ride 4 Kabril much prefers camels to these demon beasts we are forced to ride here.  Perhaps my brother will be bringing the racing stock... TEST OF CON: CON 19 Kabril has learned to hold his breath during sandstorms, of course he will survive this test.   TEST OF INT: Appraise 15 You can not fool Kabril.  Many may not have seen such a weapon, but Kabril's brother stol... owns one just like that. TEST OF WIS: Sense Motive 7 Kabril is very happy you are such an honest woman, Agela.  Or else people would think you really did beat Kabril at arm wrestling. TEST OF CHR: Perform (Oratory) 17 Fourscore and seven months ago, Kabril set forth upon the Iron Kelpie to discover a new land...

Prytania SLOT 2 TEST OF STR: Strenght check 14 (" One thing is sure, I'm not losing this one ") With determination in her eyes, Prytania tied her pharasma holy symbol to her hand and aproached Agela... " Ok, let's see what you've got " - To which Agela responded: " Oh, I haven't been practicing or anything... It's just for fun, you know ". After a short struggle at the beginning, Tania made a final push for the win, slamming their hands into the table. (She wouldn't admit it, but her arm now hurts...) TEST OF DEX: Ride check 10 Next up was the riding challenge, They had prepared a mare, she got up in a swift jump, spilling half of the ale in her jar, and the other half while riding like Lady Godiva. Just, you know... Dressed. TEST OF CON: Constitution roll 17 They had a sink, but she ordered another ale, and seeing how she chugged beer, Agela decided to give her the win TEST OF INT: Appraise check 12 Agela showed her the dagger that Tania couldn't find last time: " Hm... nice dagger you have there, it has a nice engraving... I'd say it'd buy us... 2 more rounds. Not that I care right now, since it's free and all! " TEST OF WIS:  Sense motive 16 " Well, I know you said you hadn't prepared for the contest, Agela, but everybody here knows that you had been training for quite a while, there's no way you can stand that long against me. " - Prytania, with a smile on her face, went for the next test. TEST OF CHR: Perform (Sing) 17 The kids were sitting on the ground, gathered in a small circle. Everyone was acting for them, so she finished her ale, and went towards the kids, with her head a bit blushed by the alcohol. She then started singing a catchy lewd song, filled with double entendres. A song that the kids will definitively remember and sing, oblivious to its true meaning

Slot 2 Kellen and Scourge together (because double posts are annoying) TEST OF STR: 18 Ke and 24 Sc Kellen tussles with agela for a while, while scourge is hands-down the victor in her trial, slamming her arm down with a bit too much force, and then trying unsuccessfully to make her feel better afterwards. " SORRY AGEHUMAN. NEED ARM-PADS. SCOURGE NOT SO ROUGH NEXT TIME."   I softened her up for ya  kellen argues, as they move on to the next trial. TEST OF DEX: 24 Ke 8 Sc while Kellen nimbly rides the old hound, the mare wont even let SCOURGE mount her. SCOURGE mutters in terran after the trial, something about unfair tiny horse and it only liking small people. TEST OF CON: 11 Ke and 22 Sc Scourge sits under the water for quite a while, while kellen lasts barely enough time. Coughing up water as he comes out, he scowls at the large insect as she "laughs" at him, if you can call the horrible chittering sounds she makes a laugh. Everyone nearby gives disturbed glances at the pair as they wal by. TEST OF INT: 17 Ke and 5 Sc Kellen has years of experience over the insect, at least where loot is concerned, But SCOURGE manages to figure it out. Pulling out a paper and counting each arrow in the bundle. I wonder why they didn't have her doing Katanas like ren? :( TEST OF WIS: 21 Ke and 17 Sc Both of them realize the lie rather quickly, and move on to the final, and OBVIOUSLY most difficult challenge. giving nervous glances to each other as the giant insect and scar-covered halfling approach the children. TEST OF CHA: 13 Ke and 0 Sc While Kellen tries his darndest to perform for the children, SCOURGE tends to just scare them away. Her "act" is about a much larger bug crushing much smaller bugs, which she performs by actually crushing much smaller insects, and a few pieces of fruit, and then showing them to the children gleefully.

Slot 2: Shinon saw the laughter and excitement, she wanted to join in also.  She felt bad for showing up to the party late though... Test of STR:  STR check 6 (WHAT????)  Shinon smiled as she walked up to Agela.   I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way that I'm going to lose this one.   As the battle started, she started strong.  But a random and sudden cramp in her forearm made her arm twitch in pain and she fell to Agela really fast.   Next time.... I'm sure you won't win again!   Test of DEX: Ride Check 5 (crit fail)  After that sad sad arm wrestling match, she had to get back into her game.   Horses ha!  no problem!  I'm a paladin afterall!   She jumped on the horse, Let's go!   The horse bucked and threw Shinon across the room and into the wall.... That had to hurt... Test of CON:  Con Roll 8 Wobbily from flying into the wall....  Shinon goes over to the tub.   Well I can hold my breath no worries!   She started and after about 10 seconds gulped water thinking it was air.  Gagging as she came back up to real air.  She wasn't feeling great now.   Test of INT: Appraise 2 (crit fail) Mildly concussed, partially drowned, the woman just looked at the dagger.... Are you kidding me, the dagger is normal.  Nothing special about it besides the fact it's too small for me to use.   She laughed at the puny dagger as she moved on Test of WIS: Sense Motive 24 Not only does Shinon figure out the lie, but she also notices the glimmer in Agela's eye when she was doing it.   I'm sorry Agela, but your ability to lie is not strong like your arm is.  You were never a paladin!  That is easy to see! Test of CHR:  Perform 16 Shinon still not feeling normal starts doing a dance.  However, it's not very beautiful like she thinks that it is.  But the kids love it.  They think that she is doing a clown dance from a circus and cheers her on and dances with her.   I think I need a glass of wine....

SLOT 2     Ren did okay round one and moved into round 2 without too much rest.  TEST OF STR : Strength 13      Ren had to admit, he wasn't on fire in displaying his strength. In fact, he had probably performed worse than anyone else. Regardless arm wrestling didn't involve two hands so he was happy about that. Sitting across from Agela Ren prepared to arm wrestle. Ren knew he wasn't a strong person, defiantly weaker than most warriors. But Agela also wasn't incredibly strong, and Ren was able to win.  TEST OF DEX: Ride 15       Riding? Ren had never learned to ride before. He had never needed to and where he was born there weren't too many horses. Regardless he mounted the horse and started. He had to admit, riding wasn't as easy as it looks, however the horse remained calm and Ren wasn't a fidgety person. With every step learning a little more about riding, Ren was able to do the full circle with no problem.  TEST OF CON: Con 20 (DC 11)      In this one everyone was required to hold their breath for 30 seconds. Getting ready Ren took a deep breath and started. Half a minute can be pretty long when you aren't breathing, but luckley holding his breath for half a minute seemed a reasonably feat for him. Ren is able to accomplish it with ease.  TEST OF INT: Appraise 20! (crit)      Ren had used many weapons before, but was by no means an expert. Besides most of his experience was with Eastern weapons. Luckily they brought out a Katana and a Wakezashi. Could I get more lucky than that. My old favored weapons of choice... Ren spent the next few minutes explaining the intricacies and styles that could be used with these incredibly designed weapons. Of course Agela eventually cut him off and made him move on.  TEST OF WIS: Sense Motive 27! (crit)       A lying test huh? Agela stood across from Ren and he was suppose to know whether or not she was lying. Luckily Ren has some experience in detecting lies. Though by no means the best, he had confidence that he could tell a lie from an amateur liar (if she was one.) She flips and coin and catches it and looks at it.      "This coin show's heads." Ren immediately see's a tell, she left foot shifts a little in position. Not a moment later rolls one of her shoulders. "You are lying." The coin is revealed to be tails.  TEST OF CHR: Perform 14      "I need to perform?" Ren wasn't really versed in these things. Many of those who practiced the sword style he used were actually great dancers and used the unique movements to help in combat, unfortunately Ren wasn't one of them. However, he is able to entertain everyone well enough be throwing fruit into the air and then quickley drawing his sword and cutting them as they fall. 

Thank you kind overlords for letting her do slot 1 After Shinon failed so misserably on the second set of challenges, Agela decided to let her do the first set to try and redeam herself.  She was up for the challenge and would NOT fail twice! STR: Climb 16 Shinon cracked her neck and looked at the rope.   Is this all?  HA!  No problem!   With her armor off she climbed up the rope, hanging from the top decided to stay up there and do the shot of elven wine while up there! DEX: Throw Dagger 7 (really can't win...)  Shinon held the dagger up.   Isn't this the dumb thing I appraised already?  Told you it was a simple dagger!   Laughing as she throws it tward the target, but instead throws it into the fireplace near the target.   Oh my fault!! CON: FORT 11 While hanging on the top of the rope still, she decided to release a hand and take the drink.  She drinks it with some difficulty, but fell down from the rope afterwards only having one hand on the rope.   By the Gods, that was closer then I would have liked! INT: Knowledge Nature/local 14 Nature... oh nature... Nature isn't my thing.  Could we do religion instead?  I can name the Gods for you!   Nobody would agree though.   Fine fine... Okay so that is a duckbill platypus, that is a wild buffalo, and that over there is the dodo bird.   She smiled as she got them better then she thought she would! WIS: Perception 6 (YES~) Shinon walked over to Agela, You beat me once ma'am, but you won't win again!   She looked around and close at her.  Found nothing.  Looked all around, still found nothing.  She finally gave up.  Everyone pointed at her indent into the wall, the dagger was stuck where her arm was before.   Ohhh you said anywhere in the building!  I see my fault! CHA: Disguise 5 Shinon goes to the back.   I got this no problem!   Her confidence will be her downfall.  She goes out with her armor on saying how manly she is and laughing going around.  She was booed and laughed off the stage.  That concussion will take some time to repair the damage from if this is how she acts with it....

SLOT 2 TEST OF STR: 17 Going through this round of challenges right side up. Good luck mam. Technically, I am only a couple months old, there is no fame if you beat a baby.

TEST OF INT: 11 This isn't as nice as my work, so hmm how much does Ms. Daianaid charge? wait, is that a fake Brokkr's mark? yup. This is not fit for hard work. TEST OF WIS: -1 I cannot believe you never learned to swim! You really should take the time to learn. TEST OF CHR: 0 I heard a skald tell this epic once...[starts story] wait no, that is the wrong one, it goes like this [half way through] This is when his horse sneaks through the castle eluding everyone but then he gets his head smashed in with a tesubo.  Sorry about this, it is much better told by the skald. I might have missed a part or two....

SLOT 2 Pumped up at first round, Kid try the 2nd round challenges. TEST OF STR : Strength 19 As he slams down Agela's hand to the table, Kid shouted, I think i deserve a drink for this! TEST OF DEX: Ride 11 Kid rides the mare. he thinks he will be cool riding a horse and holding a gun like badass. But the moment he take the reins, he never takes his hands of that, let alone holding a gun in one hand. At least i dont fall to the ground , he mutters. TEST OF CON: Con 7(DC 7) After riding we should swimming eh?

But the children already running around in panic.

Slot 2 Test of strength  18 Raven played nice with Agela so he didnt hurt her.   These games are fun Agela.  Do you have time for dinner tonight after the event?   (got a 1 after mods) You know those stockings look great on you....they would look better on the floor after dinner what says you?  Test of Dex natural 1, 2 after mods. Remembering to take his armour off this time Raven tries to jumps on the horse to ride it around the inn.  How ever he forgot to put on clothes after taking off his armour.   HEY come back here!!! Raven yells as he chases the horse around the inn in his small clothes to the laughter of the crowd. Test of Con DC 7 rolled a 9  (con is 14) Embarrassed by his stupid pick up line, then forgetting to put clothes on in the previous event Raven was looking forward to showing off this round.  And spent far to long with his head stuck in the tub full water and had to be removed from the tub after it was obvious that he passed the event.   Test of Int 6 Yes this is an axe. its a good axe as he bangs it on the table....sticking it into the tabletop and toppling everyones drinks over. Test of Wis 12 Why yes Agela I would be most pleased to accompany you to......ohhh you where kidding....HA I figured that out.  No tricking me Angela.  Raven beams most proudly that he figured out her motive. Test of Charisma 1 (rolled a 3 minus mods) Trying to do a rendition of a favorite children's song failed Raven miserably.  Maybe he shouldnt have borrow the demon bards instrument and taken his advice.  After beating the demon fleas that where summoned through a portal Raven was beaten into unconscious by the crowd.  It was decided that Raven playing instruments needs to be added to the list of things punishable by death.

SLOT 2 TEST OF STR: Strength 16 Fizziwik stretches out some as he gets ready for arm wrestling.  Seeing that Agela is his first opponent he relaxes a little.  As he approaches the chair he sweeps his hat off his head and places it on the table.  He rolls up his sleeves and hops into the chair.   Hey Agela, you ready?   On the count of 3 they start, Fizzy acts like he is struggling a little, even lets Agela push him down a little before he makes his big "comeback" and slowly pins her hand.   TEST OF DEX: Ride 25 As Fizziwik approaches the riding area the assistants begin to pull the riding hound his way.  Waving them off No, I think for this challenge, I shall ride the horse.  If you'll help me up that is.   Taking the reigns he stands up on the saddle and easily guides the Mare around the Inn, as he comes back to the stable he gives a big YIPPIE!!!  and waves his hat around in a circle before hopping off. TEST OF CON: DC 7 - Result 7 Hold your breath for how long?  Eh, no problem.  It reminds me of this time that I was diving for pearls with a dwarven friend of mine and I told him that gnomes can hold their breath for a very long time and he said that only fish could hold their breath longer than dwarves and so then we both went under...oh, it's my turn?  Alrighty here goes. Then Fizziwik plunges his head under the water, completely forgetting to take in some extra air.  He does okay for the first little bit but is clearly pushing his limits as he starts to bang one hand on the side of the basin.  When the time keeper finally taps his shoulder the natural redish hue of his face is almost blue and he begin to gasp for air as his hungry lunges take deep breaths.   I .... huh....need.....huh.....to.....huh....sit..huh....down.  TEST OF INT: Appraise 12 Fizziwik picks up the longsword and examines it intently before correctly naming it's price.   Ah, an easy round. TEST OF WIS: Sense Motive 22 Fizziwik listens carefully to Agela as she tells her stories.  Two sentences into the second story he says, This one is the lie, I could hear it in your voice. TEST OF CHR: Perform Oratory 26 Fizziwik takes off his socks before going to perform for the kids.  On his left hand he wears a bright pink sock, and on his right hand he wears a faded purple sock.  [Right] Hello children, I am Reginald, and I am going to go on an adventure. [Left] And I am Laurelei, I'm a pretty mermaid, and not evil at all. [Right] Come, Laurelei lets go and vanquish some evil doers [Left] Yeah...lets do that....Oh look over there Reginald  [Right] Huh, what am I looking for? (scans in the other direction) [Left] Hey Mr. Badguys, how about we be friends?  Reginald won't really mind.  Oh, you don't want to be my friend, well fine.  Hey Reggy, there's bad guys over here! [Right] Yippy, come on Laurelei, lets get them. (acts like he is beating up some bad guys) [Right] I'm so lucky to have such a good friend as you Laurelei, lets go help more people. [Left] (in a monotone voice) Yes Reginald, I am so lucky too. Fizziwik is so animated in the telling of his story that he soon has all of the children laughing.

TEST OF STR: Arm wrestle Agela ( DC10) :  12  Having seen Agela wrestle with the other competitors, Frerin realizes Agela is not to be taken lightly. And it was good that he did so, for he nearly lost a couple times. His dwarven stubbornness ultimately carried the day, though. TEST OF DEX: Ride the mare (DC 10): 17 Frerin nears the mare and talks softly to her in dwarvish before getting up: Hush my beauty, don't you worry. That's right, dearest, I'm not going to hurt you... Perceiving the mare to be calm and well-trained, he climbs the mare's side and without reins rides her in a circle, dropping back to the ground  at the Inn's door. Thank you for the ride, he whispers, giving an apple as thanks to the mount. TEST OF CON: Hold breath (DC 10+(25-2*15)=5): 17 Huh, today is bath day?  Frerin approaches the water tub, and submerses his head on it. The silence that immediately occurs recalls him of the happy days in his meadow, near Mountain Home. Too soon, he is recalled to the surface world, only to be told that he passed the test. TEST OF INT: Appraise the weapon (DC 5): 15 As Frerin approaches the table, he notices a dwarf-made crossbow, with the kind of precise, utilitarian and yet beautiful that only his kin can produce. If  that's not dwarven-made, I'll eat my claock, he says, giving the current market value shortly afterwards. TEST OF WIS:  Spot lie (DC 10): 13 Ms. Agela, I not agree with you. Also, I believe you not agree with yourself either. Frerin just knows that Agela would never secretly want to retire to the underdark and run a thermal water bath/inn to tourists. I mean, who does that kind of thing? TEST OF CHR: Perform (DC 10): 2 Frerin starts singing a lullaby from his childhood: Sleep thigh little ones, sleep well for the behold comes a-near Mommy's went a-dventuring, And got captured by a-bug-a-bear Daddy's  on the forge a-smithying, To try and seek her a-new! Naturally, this is but a poor adaptation, and the poetic force of the originals is lost in the pro...Wait, why are you crying? Did you not like the song, little ones?

SLOT 3 CONTINGENT: TEST OF STR: 20 climb for Ke, 32 Climb for SC Scourge practically puls herself up the rope with one arm, bumping into the roof before she realizes what shes doing. Kellen on the other hand, has a bit of trouble with the rope this time, just managing to reach the bells on the ceiling. TEST OF DEX: Ranged attack of 24 Ke, and 18 Sc Both of the trained warriors manage to hit their marks, although Kellen has a much easier time of it, and SCOURGE's axe barely hits the target, taking a chunk off of one of the edges. As they walk away, Kellen comforts the large Insect. Hey, At least you hit it, this is much better than the stupid horse right? TEST OF CON: Fortitude 21 Ke, and 18 Sc They both look at each other as they grab their drinks, and count to three before beginning to chug the mead. Of course scourge finishes first, larger mouth and all, but kellen swears up and down that he beat her in the contest. TEST OF INT: Having no training in these knowledges, the two decide to rather sit and watch others for a few moments, before hurrying off to the dagger-hunting contest. TEST OF WIS: Perception 22 for Ke, and 8 for Sc. Kellen waits for scourge to give up to point out that the tiny statue has always been back behind the bar among the bottle, although hes never seen one that wobbles like so, or has a strange grass skirt.... anyways, on to the dress-up-games! TEST OF CHA: disguise of a 17 for Ke and a 3 for Sc Scourge tries to look like a goblin this time, only a really....really big goblin. She basically just put on a goblin mask, but she had fun chasing the children around again! Kellen did a much better job, pretending to be feathery aasimar guy. he walks around on stilts for a few minutes, amazed at what the view is like, and then returns to his normal size to reveal himself. Ahaa! it was me all along!  At this point he quickly covers up the feathers with his regular clothing, and goes to take a break at one of the event tables, watching the costume contests and axe throwing, clapping along with the rest of the crowd. SCOURGE settles down besides him, and eats a well earned meal

Slot 3     Doing well in round two Ren readied himself for round 3.  TEST OF STR: Climb 10 HOWEVER rolled a 20 so succeed       Ren takes a look at the dangling rope and steps away. He knew that climbing this top was next to impossible for him. Walking up he placed one hand on the rope and wrapped his legs around. Using a caterpillar style of climbing, used his legs to push the rest of his body up, eventually getting to the top.      Jumping down Red couldn't belive that he had made it.  TEST OF DEX: Ranged Attack 26      Ren takes the axe and takes a secound to balance it. Having thrown the dagger not too long age he flipped it a couple of time before letting the axe fly. After a few spins it hits the target dead on,  TEST OF CON: Fort 21      The elven wine that Ren had drank earlier wasn't to potent. Either way, taking up the mead Ren slowly downed it, taking his time. Slowly putting the cup back on the table Ren looked around, stretched his hands a bit. It looks like I'm unaffected... yet.   TEST OF INT: Knowledge 10      As he walked up he realized they were asking questions about the arcane as such something he basically knew nothing about. And so Ren scratched his head, recalled everything he could before giving up.  TEST OF WIS: Perception 17       Ren looks around, but this time he doesn't seem to be able to find it as easily as the dagger. After spending a few minutes looking he gives up.  TEST OF CHR: Disguise 4      It doesn't go to well for Ren, he'd rather not talk about it. 

Slot 3 Str check 27 Remembering to take his armour off and wear proper clothes Raven speedily climbs the rope to the top. Rings the bells and drops back down, smiling to himself for not making an ass out of himself again. Dex Check 7 Grumbling to himself that axes shouldnt be thrown Raven whips it at the target....missing it completely and sticking it into the wall. Con Check rolled a natural 1 Drinking the mead it ended up going down the wrong hole and Raven ended up spitting it all over the bartender....and failing the challenge Int check 10 (12 but not trained in it) Not knowing much about the monsters Raven tried to bluff his way through the matching game....even though it was obvious that he was making things up Wis Check  3 Raven gave up on this one as hes starting to go blind after trying to drink the halfing mead. Charisma  check 0 After his massively failed attempt to look like a woman Raven didnt even bother trying this one.  He just shook his head and passed to the next person

SLOT 3 TEST OF STR: Climb 5 Iss grabs the rope and starts up.  After two tugs, he realizes he has pulled a muscle in his back and wisely drops back to the floor. TEST OF DEX: Ranged Attack -4 d/t Range Increment 2 = 25 Ahh, an axe is more my style.   One whirl around his head for dramatic effect, and Issachar buries the axe in the bullseye! TEST OF CON: Fort 21 Iss chugs the Halfling Mead like there's no tomorrow.   TEST OF INT: Knowledge (Planes) 5 Monsters?!  We don't need no stinking monsters!!  Well, we don't see any, anyhow... TEST OF WIS: Perception 25 I'm not sure who you are trying to fool, LB.  I see that statue in your pocket! TEST OF CHR: Disguise 18 A little flour, some charcoal around the eyes, a bite of bloody meat, and walla!  Dhamphir!

SLOT 3 TEST OF STR: Climb 10 Kabril prefers to Levitate.  But if he must, he must.  Wait!  No knots?  Kabril will not climb! TEST OF DEX: Ranged Attack -4 d/t Range Increment 2 & -4 for non-proficiency = 14 Kabril will show you how t use this...  Axe?   He whizzes it down the room, scoring a hit, although no one knows how... TEST OF CON: Fort 8 It appears Halfling Mead is too strong for Kabril! TEST OF INT: Know (Planes) 23 Kabril has studied these monsters in his first year at the University. TEST OF WIS: Perception 18 Kabril thinks he sees the figurine...  No?  Kabril is sorry for taking your kukri, Kellen. TEST OF CHR: Disguise 19 Kabril knows!  He will dress up like a dwarf!  

Prytania SLOT 3 TEST OF STR:  Climb check 21 Without the knots to distract her, Prytania climbs the rope fast as a squirrel, and gets back down as graciously as she got up. " I think I'm getting the hang of it "  - She said, completely oblivious of the pun. TEST OF DEX: Ranged attack (-8) 2 She isn't too used to handle these heavy weapons, but that didn't deter her: " Oh well, how hard can it be " Prytania throws the axe into the target, giving it too much of a spin, and hits it shaft-first, bouncing harmlessly into the ground.   TEST OF CON: Fortitude check 13 Tania had one too many drinks: The wine, the beer jar... And this one hit her hard, knocking her back a step from the bar. That didn't deter her from sitting again, to finish her beer. " Wow, that's strong, put me another wine and save me one of these for later " TEST OF INT:  Knowdlege Planes check 23 Prytania dashed through the sheets, in automatic mode, identifying every single drawing they showed her in seconds: " Please, I may be a little drunk, but I can recognize a barbed demon if I see one, and that's a Githyanki... And that's an owlbear... " TEST OF WIS:  Perception check 19 She spent a good five minutes searching for the statue, until she found it. " Here, I found the owl statue...  Nice carving, by the way " - HEr response was met with luaghs, and a head shakes as they explained her that she had to find the fox statue... - " Sigh, well I'm not going to look for more, my wine is getting hot... " TEST OF CHR:  Disguise check 6 So, dressing as a man didn't work, so she'll dress as an elf this time... She got her nice pointed ears, combed her hair in a ponytail and entered the room walking as fancy and delicately as possible.... Unluckily, Prytania is as clumsy as can be, and the impersonaiton wasn't good enough for the jury, " Eh, whatever... You guys can't appreciate true genious " - So she just sat at the bar, grabbed the wine glass without any finesse and downed it in a single gulp, confirming that she had none of the refinement of an elf.

Frerin Slot 3  TEST OF STR (DC 15): Climb check 17 Again, Frerin approaches the rope. It seems the competition is starting to take its toil on the other participants, as many fail to climb the rope. Not Frerin though, for years on the wilderness taught him how to climb just about anything. Sigh... I'd rather climb a nice tree... This rope climbing nonsense should at least be done outdoors, for there is nothing to look at from up here inside this inn. TEST OF DEX  (DC 15) : Ranged attack 8 Ahh, axe throwing! Finally, I can take you for a spin, eh Baruk? What!? I can't use my own weapons?! What nonsense is this?! Frerin fumes, as he grabs the throwing hatchet on the table. He prepares his throw, not feeling very confident at all, with a weapon not his own. His arm reaches backwards, preparing to launch, his breathing stops as he gets his aim.... and.... there it goes! With a lightning fast speed, the axe is hurled trough the air, only to miss the target by a good foot to the right, burying itself of the wall. Bah, this toy is too light, a breeze must have taken it off the course! But what can one expect from such workmanship? Not even near the quality of my dwarven kin. TEST OF CON (DC 14) : Fortitude check 16 As Frerin is still fuming from his previous failure, he nears the drinking table. Not even awaiting to hear the rules, he instantly downs the nearest jug, which fortunately happens to be the right one. Hah, mead! Things are improving, at least. Maybe one can hope for good dwarven ale next, eh? TEST OF INT (DC 15) : Knowledge Planes check 20 Frerin then approaches the next table, where he must identify the monsters. The animals were right in his alley, but this could prove itself more difficult. Wait, what are these? Underdark monsters? What a stroke of luck, his old school master at Mountain Home battered some of these into his thick mind as a kid, even if his mind was elsewhere, on the great plains ans forests on the outdoors.  I'll be damned, I never thought I'd be grateful to that hateful old  geezer. TEST OF WIS (DC 20) : Perception check 27 (Natural 20!) Feeling motivated by his recent successes, Frerin approaches LB, to try and find the statue.  Huh, I swear I have never seen this drink there before.  Frerin says, looking at a strange bottle on the bar. Hah, here it is! You can't fool me with a drink, eh? He joyously smashes open a fake jug of dwarven ale, revealing the small statue inside it. TEST OF CHR (DC 15) : Disguise check 18 This time, Frerin doesn't have to hide his beard, for he is playing someone of his own gender. He gathers some pieces of clothing of gaudy colours, wears them in an outrageously flashy manner and strutters off on the stage rambling about weird contraptions and fantastic deeds. Have I told ya from that one time, when I was trebucheted over the gnoll fortresses to spy their defenses? Oh, I tell ya I got a good look of them, and immediately found a weak spot. However, what was not my surprise when, using my superior mathematical skills, I calculated that I was going to land into their barracks! Why, I did the only sensible thing I could do, of course. I jumped right into a projectile that the monsters had just launched against our forces and steered it right back into our camp. Afterwards, I made a complete report to our general of their fortifications, what proved to be instrumental in our glorious victory. And there was that other time, of course..... To his surprise, every body enjoyed his impression of a gnome, and laughed for a long time.

SLOT 3 TEST OF STR: Climb 9 Fizziwik has a look of shear determination as he approaches the rope.  He struggled with the last one and so he is bound and determined to make it up this rope.  Hand over hand he pulls, so focused in his task that he fails to realize that his feet have never left the floor.  After a moment Poppy hollers Look down  which he does.  He then lets go of the rope with a look of defeat and walks away. TEST OF DEX: Attack 22 Ahh, throwing axes, now this is something I can do.  We trained with these back in my Militia days in Strumhaven.  It's all about the flick he tosses the axe which flips several times through the air before hitting the exact middle of the target, of the wrist.  Just like that. TEST OF CON: Fortitude 19 Ahh, Halfling mead, now this is  a drink worthy of a warrior.   Fizziwik downs his quickly.  Refreshing, now what else to do. TEST OF INT: Knowledge arcana 4 Uhm.....these aren't real monsters you have listed here.  What kind of tom foolery is this?  I say they are all a lie!! Oh, wrong game eh?   Fizziwik shrugs and shakes his head as he walks away. TEST OF WIS: Perception 14 Fizziwik spends several minutes looking all around for a statuette, before giving up in frustration. Bah, you guys are too good at hiding things. TEST OF CHR: Disguise 7 Fizziwik takes his time on his disguise this round, he really wants to make sure he does this one right.  When he comes out from behind the screen he is dressed like normal expect he has a wig strapped to both feet.  He walks to the middle of the room and tries to strike a pose like Kellen, but noone buys it.

Slot 3 TEST OF STR (DC 15): Climb check 14 Kid tried he almost got to the top. but his hands slip. Next thing happen, he already on the floor. I think i drink too much TEST OF DEX (DC 12) : Ranged attack 13 Everyone duck for cover! Kid throws his axe while drunk. Everyone duck below the table.1.2.3 the axe is on target. Well maybe i throw better while drunk. TEST OF CON (DC 14) : Fortitude check 10 The moment he gulps the mead, Kid throws up. Goddamn!Halfling belly can stand this? TEST OF INT (DC 15) : Knowdlege Planes check 19 After he wash his face to sober up a bit. He takes the match monster test.  This one a golem.its a giant.and this is earth elemental. Got it! TEST OF WIS (DC 20) : Perception check 21 This one? its right under my chair. TEST OF CHR (DC 15) : Disguise check 3 Its a bad idea that Kid wanna try to become a half orc. He fails miserably of course with his lanky figure. This been a rather disastrous round.I think i need some rest first. Just wake me up when the next round comes . And he falls asleep on the table

SLOT 3 TEST OF STR: 19 Right side up, Viggo deftly climbs the rope. It doesnt even move. TEST OF DEX: 20 As he lifts up a tankard for a drink, Viggo throws the axe with his left hand, hitting the mark. TEST OF CON: 10 edit 12(i'm a dwarf) What is this? kinda gross.i TEST OF INT: 17[10] That is a dragon TEST OF WIS: 24 Do you need help hiding the statue? I can still see it. TEST OF CHR: 10 Pretends to be a dwarf and gets disqualified. You knew me before the change you dunce heads.

Frerin Slot 4 TEST OF STR (DC 15):  Strenght check 6 Nearing LB, Frerin readies himself for arm wrestling. Unfortunately, he was caught off guard by the power of LB's arms, and is quickly subdued.  Ya're strong as a devil eh? Next time won't be so easy, mate! TEST OF DEX (DC 15) : Ride 1 Hum, horse-riding, that's something I can do. Frerin thought. And who needs saddles anyways? I was always secretly bareback riding in the mountains, that's the way eh? Frerin tries to calm down the animal as he approaches. Easy there boy, easy. Who's a good boy eh? Hush now. Unfortunately, it was a mare, not a stallion, and she got offended by Frerin calling her a "boy". So of course, she awaited just as he was half-way climbing on her back to surge forward, leaving Frerin holding for dear life awkwardly on her side for a good twenty seconds, before she threw him off, rolling and splattering on the mud. TEST OF CON (DC 15) :   Con check 13 It seemed as tough all that drinking was finally getting to his head, and Frerin thanked the prospect of dunking his head on a tub full of water to sober up a little. He went all the way in, and made a good effort of it. However, his beard started floating and tickled his nose, making him sneeze underwater. It was not pretty, and a wet, disgruntled judge disqualified him for emptying the tub of water before the alloted time. TEST OF INT (DC 15) :   Appraise check 6 TEST OF WIS (DC 15) :   Sense motive check 20 TEST OF CHR (DC 15) :   Perform check 10

Prytania SLOT 4 TEST OF STR: STR check 3 Prytania was already flushed by all the alcohol, and it was time to face LB in an arm wrestle... " Bring it on, big boy " - She said as she slammed her arm in the table, hurting herself in the process. " A re you ok, girl?" - Asked LB, seeing her face, before continuing...  "3, 2, 1... GO" - It took her a second to react, and by that time, LB had the clear leverage, and promptly defeated Tania. TEST OF DEX:   Ride check 19 Maybe it was luck, maybe it was the fact that her tumbling countered the steed's attempts to throw her to the ground, but she managed to stay on top of it, and she even finished the track... More or less. " You thought a steed would stop me, huh? Well, I'm a country girl, so I'm used to these guys " - She said as she petted the horse's back. TEST OF CON:  CON check 2 " What? What do you mean I can't drink beer as a challenge? Well I'm not drunk enough to end up in a sink, thank you very much..." - Outraged, she decided to tumble towards Agela to admire the picture instead. TEST OF INT:  Appraise check 13 " Ooh, nice painting, it would look nice in Henry's house ". - Tania stared at it for a minute or so, and gave an estimate, but she missed the price for a good 20%, thus failing this test too. TEST OF WIS:  Sense motive 9 " Wow, LB, did you really wrestle a bear all by yourself while you were all alone in the forest? Not that it surprises me with those arms of yours... " - She managed to blush over her reddened face as she touched LB's arms to check his strength. TEST OF CHR:  Perform (sing) 19 " So, you want me to sing again, eh? Very well, if you'll excuse me... " - Prytania had disregarded decency and common sense long ago, so she jumped on top of a table, beer mug in hand, and started to sing more lewd songs to the crowd, which recieved her wonderfully, and soon, all of the tavern was singing with her. 

Slot 4 Strength Check  16 Full of ale and trying to redeem himself for all the failures of the last round, Raven walks up to the table, polity sits down. And very nicely arm wrestles LB for the win. Dex Check 21 (natural 20) Feeling better after winning the last contest Raven jumps on the horse and rides it around the inn, showing off and doing a few tricks to the cheers of the crowd Con Check 17  DC 17 Feeling flush from passing the last 2 tests Raven took his time to prepare properly and just barely managed to hold his breath long enough to pass this round.

SLOT 4 TEST OF STR: Strength 19 Fizziwik settles into his chair before the lumberjack.   All right, lets do this.   Gripping LBs hand, Fizziwik doesn't play around this time and just tries to win.  It's tough, both contestants clearly straining, but in the end, Fizziwik manages to win.   Whew, that was a close match, thanks LB. TEST OF DEX: Ride 25 A pony?  Barebacked?  Sure thing!   Fizziwik hops up onto the pony backward and still manages to perfectly guide the pony around the Inn, waving to everyone as he rides by. TEST OF CON: Target DC: 17, Result 14 Remembering that he barely made it last time, Fizziwik tells no stories as he attempts the breath holding this time.  A few deep breaths and plunges his face into the water.  He makes it just past his old time before he pulls his head out and takes a deep, gasping breath.   That's all I could do, was it enough? *snaps his fingers*   Maybe next time then. TEST OF INT: Appraise 19 Ah, I was worried when you said we would be looking at paintings, but this is one of my favorites, I mean who doesn't love Unicorn on a boat sailing across a river of rainbows ? TEST OF WIS: Sense Motive 10 Hrmm, that's tough.  Well, you must be telling the truth about Thumak being your mother, and it seems reasonable that you helped rebuild Kenebres, so I'm going to say that the lie is that you are a lumberjack?  No?  Darn. ((Fizzy clearly forgot about the time that he competed against LB in a tree chopping challenge, must be all the wine,mead, and lack of oxygen)) TEST OF CHR: Perform Oratory 17 Fizziwik recites the story of Aroden raising the Starstone and placing it on the Isle of Kortos.  The gathered townfolk clap and cheer when he is done.

Slot 4: TEST OF STR: 16  for Ke and 22 for Sc Kellen battles with LB for a couple exhausting minutes, creating all sorts of strange sounds. A bit later Scourge walks over, and repeats her event with agela, slamming LB's hand down on the table, and apologizing profusely moments later TEST OF DEX: 20 for Ke, 19 for Sc The only person not laughing during this test is SCOURGE, as she balances her massive body atop the average sized pony. Kellen stares on in amazement, and then copies her balancing act, except hiving a much better time of it. TEST OF CON: 11 for Ke, and 9 for Sc Both come up sputtering during this. SCOURGE looks over and again, laughs in here weird insectoid voice. TEST OF INT: 20 for Ke and 20 for Sc Both of them look at the items and simultaneously start babbling prices, this continues for a few minutes until...well... until they get bored and move on TEST OF WIS: 24 for Ke and 16 for Sc While Kellen may be better at detecting falsities, SCOURGE has had similar training. When LB says something about his farming work, both of them stop him, and point out that he isnt one. TEST OF CHA: 20 for Ke and 8 for Sc Kellen performs a bit of sleight of hand and card tricks, pulling coins from behind people, and juggling cards in the air. SCOURGE tries o copy kellen, fumbles the cards, and then decided to continue the game of "LOOK WHAT I CAN SMASH"

SLOT 4 TEST OF STR: Str 9      Looking at LB Ren could easily tell that the man was much stronger than him. Regardless Ren tried anyway. It started rather even with neither hand moving, but it soon became apparent that LB was holding back. With ease, LB slammed Ren's hand down.  TEST OF DEX: Ride 17      So riding the horse hadn't been too difficult for Ren, but the pony he could already see was going to be more of a challenge. Getting on the pony didn't seem to like Ren very much and didn't walk very smoothly. Nevertheless Ren was able to stay on without too much trouble, ending with only mile discomfort because of the position he was sitting in.  TEST OF CON: Con 18 (DC 21)      Taking a deep breath Ren started counting the time in his head. Holding his breath for 35 rounds (3.5 minutes) Ren knew wasn't going to be easy. At 2 minutes Ren could feel his entire body weaken. At 3 he was forced to open his mouth and take a breath. Well, better luck next time.  TEST OF INT: Appraise 16      Once again, Ren knew that appraising things was not his forte. However, the painting given to him to appraise was a nice eastern mountain painting. Long ago his brother use to make painting like this.... Ren gave a number based on memory. Turns out, though it wasn't dead on, it wasn't too far off. Close enough to pass either way.  TEST OF WIS: Sense Motive 25      LB had bested Ren in the arm wrestle, but would be able to do so in lying? Ren was easily able to detect the lie, seeing the gleeful smile creep on to his face as he talked it was more than obvious to Ren that he had told a lie. And Ren called him up on it. TEST OF CHR: Perform 10      Ren once again made a moderate performance, juggling a few things with his single hand. However it was not impressive enough. 

SLOT 4 TEST OF STR: STR 10 LB slams Iss while Iss is looking at Scourge stomping on cards. TEST OF DEX: Ride 22 Issachar jumps astride the bareback horse, sinks his heels into it's side, and rides around the building twice, just to show off. TEST OF CON: CON 10 Iss takes a deep breath, then bursts out laughing, still thinking about Scourge and the card "tricks". TEST OF INT: Appraise 3 Still a bit winded from laughing at SCOURGE's antics, Iss mistakenly "appraises" some vomit beside the bar where Prytania has been sitting. TEST OF WIS: Sense Motive 18 Hah!  LB, you've never been a matador.  You're afraid of bulls!! TEST OF CHR: Perform (Wind Instrument) 4 Iss decides to entertain the kids with an old pan flute he found recently.  Who would have imagined children would keep tomatoes ready to hurl?

SLOT 4 TEST OF STR: STR 19 Kabril watches LB beat Issachar, then pulls the same trick on LB, waiting until he looks around at Kellen's amazing display of sleight of hand. TEST OF DEX: Ride 10 Kabril does not ride without a saddle.  Well, perhaps the pony will be friendly and allow me to traverse this path... TEST OF CON: CON 6 Kabril will do this!  **takes a deep breath**   Ahh, ahh, ahh CHOO! TEST OF INT: Appraise 19 Ahh yes, Kabril knows this painting.  It is one of the early works of the great dwarven artist Hammertoe McQuartz.  How did you come by such a rare work, Agela? TEST OF WIS: Sense Motive 19 LB is trying to pull Kabril's leg, yes?  There is no way the Vicar and the tiefling maiden were caught doing such things... TEST OF CHR: Perform (Oratory) 12 ``Science is the study of what Is , Engineering builds what Will Be .'' ``The scientist merely explores that which exists, while the engineer creates what has never existed before.''

SLOT 4 TEST OF STR: 13 For you LB I will use my left arm. After losing Perhaps an other try, this time a proper one. TEST OF DEX: 14 What a good little pony, offers it some berries, ... the beast refuses with a gleam of rage and the scent of sulfur. TEST OF CON: 20 [DC 13] Did I not already prove this? Stays underwater until someone pokes him. TEST OF INT: 6 That is a painting of a dagger, since it is useless it probably has no value. TEST OF WIS: 5 LB you couldn't of had a run in with Pathfinders. You don't have any artifacts. TEST OF CHR: 6 Tells the same story he tried to tell the kids with a slight improvement. 

SLOT 5  TEST OF STR: 11 Wonders why anyone would grease a rope like this. TEST OF DEX: 13 Viggo looks at the tiny spike and wonders how this could kill anything. Tosses it hard at the target, hitting with a thunk. TEST OF CON: 26 Not all dwarven ale is equal, this one is superb, no harsh bite to it. They usually only sell the swill to outsiders. TEST OF INT: 11 Well, is that one Pharasma, oh wait these are rulers you say? TEST OF WIS: 16 Would this happen to be a test of knowing we we are being lied to? No? TEST OF CHR: 1 Viggo puts on a disguise, trying to look like a kobold. the sock mask and loose clothing did not help.

SLOT 5 TEST OF STR: Climb 12 This rope was greased, and a last stroke of common sense told her to change clothes first. SO she did, but other than messing up the costume, she didn't manage to do much. TEST OF DEX: Ranged Attack 12 - (22 - 10) When it was time for Prytania to shoot she was tumbling seriously, so everyone rushed to the other side of the Inn. To everyone's surprise, the shuriken managed to hit the target, and she went back to the bar to celebrate. TEST OF CON: Fortitude save: 16 And celebrate she did, this one hit her even harder than the last one... " I... think I should stop drinking now... Meh, maybe just one more! ". She was about to order more until Agela distracted her. TEST OF INT: Knowledge Nobility 18 In the state she was in, she couldn't do much. She managed to recite the rulers's names by memory, but was unable to recognize the pictures... Agela didn't accept that. TEST OF WIS: Perception 10 The only X she could find was in the whiskey bottle.. TEST OF CHR: Disguise 9 She tried to pass as an owlbear, but other than making funny noises and running around with a greased up costume, she didn't put too much effort into it.

TEST OF STR: 28 for Ke and 26 Sc The two of them begin climbing the slick ropes, SCOURGE loses grip part way up, but manages to reach the top. TEST OF DEX: 13 Ke and 15 Sc (after penalties for both) The pair of warriors nod to eachother, and land their shurikens squarely on the target. TEST OF CON:18 for Ke (close) and 11 for Sc Kellen manages to down the last bit of alcohol, but SCOURGE cant keep it down, and rushes out of the building. TEST OF INT: Again the pair watches for a while, congratulating successful contestants. TEST OF WIS: 33 Ke,21 Sc Kellen doesnt even look around this time, taking a seat beside agela and watching SCOURGE struggle for a few minutes. After a few minutes, he reaches under the table, and pulls a wooden X out of its jammed position, waving it in front of SCOURGE and then replacing it. TEST OF CHA: Both of them participate in the party game, but everyone knows theyve given up on the contest here.

After passing out from drinking and missing a couple of the rounds, Shinon is back for round 5! Test of STR: (22 crit) Shinon started to climb, doing great and then her hand slipped and she fell hard to the ground with a thonk.   That is going to hurt in the morning.... Test of DEX: (16-10) Shinon grabbed the weird thing What in the Gods is this thing....   Staring at it, she never actually figured out to throw it and just went to the next one.

Ah now this is something I'm great at!   She fell over and didn't get anything right.  She stormed off afterwards.    Test of WIS: (17)  The X, there were a lot of them when your drunk.   AH there it is!   She pointed to the wall where there wasn't an X, but four feet away was the X she just saw a blurry second one....

Slot 5  Strength check 23 Almost making it to the top of the rope Raven lost his grip and slid down into a pile at the bottom. Dex Check 6 Unsure of even what these pointy things where Raven missed completely and almost hit the bartender with his wild throw. Con Check 6 Raven tried to chug the drink to only choke on it and ended up spitting most of it out failing another test. Int Check 10 Trying to match the rulers just proved that Raven needs to spend more time in school learning stuff Wis Check 6 Being half blind still from the ale, Raven tried to find the X only to think the X was the laces on the back of Agela's stockings.....that one earned him a slap. Charisma Check 6 Trying to dress up as a Goblin horribly failed.....mostly cause nobody would believe that a 6'+ guy could be a goblin.

SLOT 5 TEST OF STR: --- Fizziwik takes one look at the rope and shakes his head.   Not even worth the effort, I'll just move on. TEST OF DEX: Attack 8 (Rolled a 1) Fizziwik looks a little uncertain as he hefts the shuriken in his hand.  When he pulls back to throw it he accidentally lets it go on his backswing and it plunks into the side of the building behind him.   Uhm, sorry about that, I'll just go drink some ale now.   TEST OF CON: Fort 22 Ahh, now this is a test I can enough.  And the good dwarven stuff too.  Praise the Goddess. TEST OF INT: ---- I think I'll skip the matching game this time, they haven't really worked out for me yet.  Too bad Poppy can't help, she's good at that stuff. TEST OF WIS: Perception 21 Fizziwik looks and looks for the X before finally giving up.  He seems a bit abashed when he discovers he was standing on it the whole time. TEST OF CHR: Disguise 23 Fizziwik comes out in a very good costume of a Kobold.
