As the tournament consists of teams of three, we decided to split up, Drexla, Luna and V in one group and Bogbean, Bricky and myself in the other. I was very excited to finally see their full abilities as I fell early in our last bout.
Our fight was first and I think either the world is against me or at least the whole of this town, as our first opponents were Naz and his group of goons.
Naz charged straight at us ahead of his friends and as I prepared to strike, Bogbean had already pounced onto his throat. She was an angry whirlwind of teeth and steel. Bricky seemed to sap some sort of energy from the Turksari and cause them great pain. I used my newly found magic to first bolster my allies, then to hurl a ball of burning cosmos at Naz knocking him out, an act I’m sure to live to regret. I felt a surge of that same cool soothing energy I feel when the hidden maiden spoke in my dreams, I formed a protective bubble that clung to myself and the others warding off blows from the fierce warriors but it was not enough for Bricky, who fell before we could finish off the other two. Bogbean ended the fight by biting off the only hand the other Tuskari had, she certainly is a ferocious little one.
I tried to stir Bricky from unconsciousness as the next fight began, this one with the other half of our party, the fight started strong with steel clashing and magic cast but Drexla shot some sort of smoke device onto the field obstructing everyone’s view. It was hard to see what was happening at all, only hearing shouts of combat and seeing Drexla zip in and out of the cloud, but in the end everything seemed to come out alright as the smoke cleared and Drexla and Luna were the only ones left standing.
Afterwards Bricky awoke literally giving me a shock. I found I am unable to heal him through conventional means. I’ll have to see if my magic can help him.
Before heading back I tried to source products to restock my cart but I received the usual cold shoulder, the vendor even spiking her price to outlandish rates, Luna suggested sending V over as he has no clear ties if not actually despising me. Nonetheless, he agreed and quickly returned, his chest puffed up like a young cub coming back from their first hunt. He managed to get the price down although I know he still overcharged me.
Now all that’s left is to prepare for tomorrow make my peace offering and see if the mystery woman from my dreams will have any more information for me.
