Taking A couple of steps back (15 ft or so) as he gets up. Cecil says with slightly strained tone "Your powess is astonishing." he says as he attempts to straighten his back. "as you can see I'm not match for such a competition and had no intent to enter. My only goal was a few kind words with a very ..." cecil pauses unsure what the best adjective would be"...beautiful and capable woman. I apologize if I accidentally gave offense." he finishes with a slight bow.

Diplomacy 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Hearing the rules, Osslend nods. "What do you say, Brynn? Feel like getting bloody with me today?"

Diplomacy 1d20+9

Diplomacy failed...she remains indifferent.

Aya sighs and looks at Cecil.

"I am busy right now. If you want to talk, find me at the bar tonight."

Giving Osslend a light backhanded pat on his shoulder, Brynn says loud enough for anyone within ten feet to hear, "Abso-#^(<-in'-lutely."

Seconds later he turns back to Shinami, wide-eyed, and questions his last statement. "Wait...eight-THOUSAND? Osslend. Let's rock this." Brynn's face is one of pure elation.

Ok, Osslend and Brynn will battle together and have entered the competition. I assume Shinami and Bryce will eneter together? If not, that's cool too.

Diplomacy failed...she remains indifferent.

Aya sighs and looks at Cecil.

"I am busy right now. If you want to talk, find me at the bar tonight."

Cecil smiles widely at that. "I hope I'll be in town that long."

Cecil pats Owen on the head and the two head back to the group.

Re-joining the group and looking around at each with a wide stupid grin on his face, "I may be in love. Do you think we'll be in town this evening?."

ok, back from running errands, on with the fun. :)

Kayla feels herself starting to blush slightly from their apparently undivided attention. "I'm guessing your entering as a tag team. I look forward to watching your match, though I wonder what you'll be doing after it?"

"We are a tag team morning, noon, and night milady."

GROSS!

"We are a tag team morning, noon, and night milady."

GROSS!

HA!

Looking rather curious now, "Is there nothing that you do separate from one another?"

ok, that could be interesting...

"Nothing come to mind Milady..."

Make a sense motive

1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

Kayla thinks.

Do they "share" their toys, or are they thick skulled virgins..?

One of the things the sense motive would have been for would be to make sure they are actually interested in females and not each other. I am not going to waste my time barking up the wrong tree. :)

*sigh* Why do men have to be so difficult? Will you be in town long after the matches are over?

That sense motive told you that they are not gay. However, you are not sure if they are making enuendo or if they're just that innocent.

"We will be here at least tonight."

"Well then, perhaps I'll get a chance to see you both later and congratulate you on how well you do in your matches."

The brothers bow to Kayla and move off back toward the ring.

When I find out if anyone else is fighting, I'll post the start of the tournament.

Kayla makes her way back to the others. "Well Cecil, how did your conversation go and who all are entering this contest? I'm also willing to bet that those two monks could match each others moves even while blindfolded and still be in perfect step." Still wouldn't mind facing that tag team myself.

Cecil replies, "she's formitable. She knocked me into the dirt. We're meeting for drinks later."

"Sounds like love at first sight."

"Sounds like love at first sight."

"I think so." Cecil smirks

Question, is our gear safe on our horses since I doubt they are in the crowd with us?

"I need a partner too. Brynn and Osslend is set as one team, I need one more. Bryce? Kayla? Cecil?"

Is your gear safe on your horses? Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Bryce, it turns out, is standing unnoticed but close enough to Shinami to answer him. The tall ranger steps out of the crowd and replies, "I usually prefer to have a little more range, and for my fights to be a little ... less fair. But I don't want to leave you without a partner - sign us up. Best this does not delay our mission though," he warns somberly.

Taking liberties with Bryce's urban stealth skills to explain my lack of posting yesterday :) DSP, Bryce has been acting the curious traveller, asking questions of the locals. Looking for info on recent troubles, any rumors about the town guard being over-stretched or under-staffed, or any other strange happenings. He is rather reluctant to stop investigating and join the fight, but... could do with releasing some stress anyway.

I'll post the fight tomorrow.

"Good luck fellows and have fun. Come along Cecil, let's find a good spot to watch the fight from."

"I need a partner too. Brynn and Osslend is set as one team, I need one more. Bryce? Kayla? Cecil?"

Cecil glances down at his stick figure frame then back to Shinami. "Is that a joke?"

"Good luck fellows and have fun. Come along Cecil, let's find a good spot to watch the fight from."

Cecil holds out his arm for Kayla to take, "Milady." The two then proceed to somewhere with a good vantage point of the combat.

Talking to Cecil, she teases him. "You sure you want to pursue an interest in a woman that can toss your ass to the ground?"

cecil thinks a moment, "yes. yes i do." cecil grins

"You must either enjoy a challenge or enjoy pain. Whichever it is, just let me know if you need any healing afterwards." Kayla snickers a bit.

Thinking for a moment, she comments: "I may need a little healing of my own should I decide to take both those monks on..."

"Time will tell." Cecil snickers

"I hope one of our teams win, otherwise I doubt we'll get enough gold in time to repay the cost of that resurrection and I'm certain the Prince will arrange something unpleasant for us."

Osslend speaks to Brynn as they approach the sign-in area for the match. "I think we have two ways of approaching this. One would be for most matches that I would go first so that any gauge they may have of our abilities is lower than the truth. That way they may relax their game a bit when you tag in only to find that they're in much deeper trouble. I hold my own in scraps but I don't pretend to be the fighter you are."

Osslend looks around and continues, "Alternatively, if you start and do some real damage, they might quake ever harder and be easier for me to deal with in their frightened state. Hmm...the more I think about it, the more I like that order. What do you think?"

Brynn smirks. "I can take some hits first. One thing I do mean to mention is make absolutely sure they don't get you up against the ropes. It sounds like it's fair game for a teammate to hold or pin if you get near them on the sidelines."

The matches start a few minutes after noon. Each team fights in round one. You notice that neither the brothers or the lady fight in round one. The two dragoon teams easily trounce their first and second matches and earn the love of the crowd, mostly thanks to Brynn's "look at me" attitude. Brynn, Bryce, and Osslend: These fights have gotten you used to fist fighting. You gain Imp. Unarmed Strike while boxing (you won't get AoO against people with the feat, and you can take AoOs unarmed) but it does not work as a prereq unless you actually take the feat.

Round three comes around 2:30 pm. Osslend and Brynn watch as the two brothers enter the ring with them. Bryce and Shinami face the lady fighter, Aya.

The Dragoon's opponents act first. Both hold action.

The map is ready for the Faellstaff investigation, but its going to double as two boxing rings. Check it out.

Go to it!

Nudging Cecil, "Check it out. Your new lady love is tough enough to be her own team. Can't wait to see how well Shinami's grappling stands up to hers."

Looking over towards the other ring, "As much as I'd like to cheer for Bo and Po, Brynn and Osslend will have to have my support. I suppose I could offer to help console the brothers when they loose."

"She is formitable." Cecil can't help but grin at that." I don't normally yell and cheer at such events. It's considered crass in my social circles. Plus if you cheer for someone and they lose it could reflect badly uponn you. It's all petty noble squabbling. Though not revealing that we're affilitated with the others coudl be beneficial should someone inadvertently 'be outed.'"Cecil is refering to the "no Dragoons" rule."Though when in Schaltka." (When in Schaltka = Whenin rome.)

Brynn rolls into the ring below the bottom rope and quickly stands up to face his opponent. Taking the brass knuckles out of his pocket, Brynn waves them at the brothers. Speaking loudly over the crowd, with a very playful smile, Brynn says, "Well I was going to break my new toys in, but after getting a good look at you, I don't know that I'll be needing them." He puts the knuckles back in his pocket. I *might* actually need those later...

Creases forming at the corners of his mouth, Brynn hunkers down into boxing stance and takes a step forward to size up the brother's stance.

Edit: BBCode fix.

"Good point, maybe we shouldn't be obvious who we are with. In which case I should feel free to cheer on Po and Bo." Kayla smirks at this idea and then begins cheering on the brothers. I hope Brynn and Osslend forgive me for cheering their opponents.

Cecil doesn't cheer, but he does appear to be enjoying himself.

"Oh loosen up a bit and let out some words of encouragement." Kayla is not noble born and has no restraint regarding her cheers and could care less if she's bouncing up and down. She also has quite a loud voice due to having to speak loudly to be heard from one end of the temple to the other during prayer services.

"this is loose"

Pausing for a moment in her cheering to look over at Cecil to see if he is joking. "Really? Dear, you need to get out more."

"Court is a much calmer place than a backwoods bare knuckle boxing tournament." Cecil says with more than a little sarcasm.

"I've had enough of calm and structure. I'm ready for a little excitement, otherwise I would have stayed back at the temple and continued my studies."

"I've had enough of calm and structure. I'm ready for a little excitement, otherwise I would have stayed back at the temple and continued my studies."

"By all means" Cecil motions to the crowd "Enjoy. I am, though I don't wish to scream like a jackenape doesn't mean I'm not having a good time. It's simply not my style."

Kayla proceeds to enjoy herself and cheer. :)

Just to be clear, I am running both fights simultaneously.

Brynn has a difficult time of discerning the brothers' fighting style. They both seem so relaxed! Brynn's opponent steps a bit closer.
