26th Uktar 1371 DR
Afternoon
Coenoby, below the Field of Triumph ($77) arena, Waterdeep
Cool, foggy afternoon, damp and cold below
After being collected up at the Crooked House Inn by Ekyam late in the afternoon on the 25th, the Heroes were escorted to the Fields of Triumph. Here they took part in the festivities and dinner provided by Loris Raknian. All the teams were introduced and various wagers were placed on teams to include ‘Three Hills’. There were some notable antics to include:
Tyree, failing to gain any headway with the exotic and voluptuous Uthgardt Barbaric beauties of ‘Snow Leopards’. Three attempts in the end it was not pretty.
Kamist and Alobron disrupting an Orc of ‘The Unhumans’ from murdering a servant girl by juxtaposing Alobron by magic in the girl’s place.
Menelvagor dumping an obvious high class working girl onto the monks of ‘Iron Hill Monkeys’.
The quasimodo Kazgiron visiting with the Heroes and informing them that he was part of the gladiator team known as ‘Crazy Eight’. Kazgiron also provided the Heroes with a gift which appeared to be a captured and caged Homunculus.
A Carenthal sighting and brief, flighty discussion about how he just up and left the Adventuring Company with not even a proper farewell.
Storn’s usual dry stoic sense of humor.
The usual street profit showing up…and being taken away kicking and screaming by Captain Okoral (Raknian’s head of security) and several arena wardens, likely never to be seen again; at least not in Waterdeep.
After a dazzling Fireworks display, Raknian ordered the beginning of the games and ordered each of the teams below into the Coenoby. Here the ‘Three Hills’ was quartered into a comfortable small chamber. There were some encounters to include:
A disturbance by the team ‘Drunken Devilry’.
Tyree, missing his chance to bed one of the ‘Snow Leopards’ who had already been seen naked by Menelvagor while she was bathing in the shallow subterranean stream.
Negotiations (which later proved fruitless) with Korush of ‘Sapphire Squad’ and Rennida of ‘Arcane Auriga’.
On the morning of the 26th the Heroes learned that they were set for Match 1, Round 1 verses ‘Arcane Auriga’, ‘Sapphire Squad’, and ‘Badlands Revenge’. The Heroes made easy work of the three other teams and defeated them with little to no injury save for Tyree being made a target by charging the archers, and Alobron being thrashed about in the jaws of the giant crocodile that was once Joren of ‘Badlands Revenge’.
Having triumphed during the first round in the Champions Belt Tournament, the Heroes are paraded by ‘flower-girl’ escorts to the winners’ podium before Loris Raknian, Talabir Welik, and various nobles, judiciaries, and members of the Waterhavian aristocracy. Here Raknian presents ‘Three Hills’ as Match 1 Round 1 winners’ and awards them with a small intricate bronze statute of a bull and 5,000 gp. Ekyam gladly accepts the prizes on behalf of the team and signals that he will visit the Heroes later that night (26th).
Be careful Heroes...Evil Lurks in dark places:
