Sylvia and Coptidel heal your comrades up, and so you all rush on--
--and see two tall, wooden linnorm statues marking the finish line to the harrowing Balgirdtrek.
Crossing the line, the gathered crowd of spectators and participants cheers and applaud.
You are met with blankets, soup, and medical supplies almost as soon as you are within the village of Frostgarten, where spectators are gathered to celebrate the competition and those who completed it.
You are the winners!
And Fangs of the Remorhaz arrives second!
The officials are so happy you killed the bear, the Beast being such a deadly threat to competitors in the Balgirdtrek
To show their gratitude they reward you with a scroll of snowball.
When you go off to explore the cave-- you find a nest of twigs and such, but nothing else.
The poor beast was only hungry!
And so endeth your Trek of the Tarnbreaker!
The officials come up to you: "You are invited to return again next year!
Oh... ss one last formality, the winning team is tasked with helping to prepare the feast and medical supplies for the remaining racers. We can take a downpayment now, if you want?"
Once the last of the teams cross the finish line - and this team are the Bluetongue's Brawlers -, the festivities begin.
A massive feast is prepared, and you are given a place of honor at the banquet table.
The bards sing your exploits!
Will their be kebabs at next year's race?

The dwarf looks at the feast and the people assembled with a smile hidden by his beard. Not because he jokes, but simply remembering that in each of his missions until now he has always continually missed the main target until the end of the fight. But at this point he has also always produced a devastating blow. Perhaps next time he should sit down and wait until the end of the fight approaches to begin to fight... or maybe that's the fact of the spirits who want to show him how difficult the task is. He will have to think again about this happening.
Coming next year it's up to an invitation. Let's see what will come in the future. The spirits are difficult to understand. They don't know neither. They don't want to know. The future undecided.
People do look at the Dwarf-- "He's the one who killed the bear!"

Klatzu is seen at the feast with a horribly swollen cranium, but he seems to be handling the blunt force trauma and concussion rather well.
"On Behalf Team, Osirian Kebab Very Good compete in future! Kebabs prove fair competition and physical effort surpass cheating, and competition do well remember!"
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Klatzu sees some kids running around selling kebabs during the feast.
"1 silver piece for the original nice Osirion kebab!"
Wondering where they all come from, he sees they work for a man sitting in a big chair--
--why, it is that portly man who first waved some grilled meat at Klatzu!
He is sure doing well.
In the Crown of the World, Coptidel will hear a tale of events that took place some years ago, whilst he was gone.
Of adventurers who came through on their way from the Land of the Linnorm Kings to Minkai, and who stirred up a Hungry Storm!
