Paphos Plaza Remnant

OOC:

form fields are instantly saved when you leave the field.

The orcs do indeed seem to be heavy drinkers though none are fully innebreated. There are currently only 2 groups of orcs, a trio at a table by the window and a quartet closer to the bar and kitchens.

"Before you go cavorting with orcs, remember that they most respect raw strength and power. We," he motions to indicate everyone in the group, "will have to work overtime to demonstrate that. I'm not sure how interested I am in a bar fight to get that done."

Is there anyone playing some cards or dice? If so Kaarik will try to take part in a game to blend in and try to hear some rumor.
He will bet what the others bet and will do his best to lose.

This tavern is calmer but you overhear that the pit, the bar close to the plaza, is much livelier and has organized pit fights, gambling, and much more. If you want a rougher and more interactive crowd the pit is the place to be. if you want to eavesdrop or interact give me a test roll and basic outline of action/intent

Kaarik is willing to have a go at the pit if the others agree.

Aizashi agrees that they should gather more information but isn't sure how to go about it.

OOC:

You do not always need a detailed plan. A simpe "we loiter around for about 1/2 hour, chatting with others as it seems best, to try and pick up more information" with a roll is good enough. I just like to have a general idea of your attempted method, passive/avtive.

OOC:

well then :)

Attempting to get any information or giving his team a chance to get more information, Aizashi will follow Kaariks suggestion and joins a pit fight or 2 in the other bar, the pit, was it?

OOC:

I'd assume being a trained martial artist and having even mastered some of it, I'd think he should be able to hold his own and might even be able to make it look a little good? ;) Is this with advantage? If not I guess you can ignore the 3rd roll?

Arc follows around the city Aizashi both to support him in case something goes wrong, and to check on more information.
Arc will not fight in the pit, but grab a drink and mingle, for additional information.

Kaarik will also come to the pits and pretend not to be with Aizashi and listen what people say during his fight.

OOC:

I guess I did not hear anything :D

The pit fights are all pay to play and a purse of 5 gold is gathered frrom the team for enty to the fight Aizashi does fairly well against his first opponent, a snarling orc who scoffs at the weaponless beastkin. That is untill his weapon is dodged and a pair of clenched paws driven into his sides knocks the air from him. Now taking it more serious but hampered by its early overconfidece the pair circle each other cautiously while the others mingle with the crowd.

Arc is able to find a spot at the bar and casually watches the fight as he listens in to the other patrons. Between sips of ale and shouting encouragement to Aizashi he is able to get into snippets of conversation with a pair of nearby hoboblins who's friend just lost to the orc. He learns that the orgs ar moving into the hobgoblin teritory to the NE and have taken over one of the remnants there.

Kaarik, unfortunately, finds mingling with the tough crowd problematics and after being stared away by several groups drifts back to Skeeve and Arc.

Skeeve is the least conspicious of the trio and manages to find a spot near the pit and gets a bit of food and drink as he cheers on his friend in the pit. he is able to gleen from the mutted conversations he overhears between the shouts of the croud that tensious between the factions is rising and were it not for the iminent arrival of the "BOSS" the dominance of the orc/hobgoblin aliance would have shattered and resuled in an open 3 way conflict between them and the kobolds and lizardmen. The aution is anticipated to have several decent magic items, most will cost in the thousands of gold and is reputed to have an artifact of power that has drawn the attntion of the Boss.

OOC:

Just to be clear, the implication is that the BOSS is here to buy the artifact of power, correct? Who is running the auction? Goblins?

Skeeve tells Arc through the telepathic crystal, "From this point on pretend you and the others don't know me. I recommend that you three keep together after this, but keep your distance from me. Apparently, there is going to be an auction with some serious items being sold. Depending on what the biggest item is, I may try a bold move and it will be best if you don't know me if I do this. We can still always communicate through the crystal."

Arc shares with Skeeve thought the crystal what he found out, then "I get it, take care and don't go too far away from us. If things go wrong and you can't clear an escape route, we will join the fight."

Then, when Kaarik joins him, trying not to be overheard "The crystal tells me that it will be us three for a time. I trust Aizashi will be successful."

After the first bout Aizashi tries to look for his friends to see if they might signal him to stop or if he should attempt to continue.

After handily taking care of the first bout a lean and vicious looking hobgoblin enters the ring looking and strides up to Aizashi Congratulations on your victory. I am impressed and would like to offer you the opportunity to face off against a more worthy opponent. What do you say?
