Exploring inside one of the simple stone huts, you find a large window opening into another land. The sun is just beginning to kiss the sides of the buildings that line the streets of the Neverending Market. A Tian-Shu fellow in a rich tunic and amble belly stands on the other side of the window, "Welcome, Competitors! How may Jie be of service to you? Weapons? Runes? Scrolls? Potions? I can find you nearly anything you can afford."

"I would like some arrows, please. I think 100 of them out to see me through for a while."

"Mundane, cold iron, silver or magical in some way?" the merchant Jie asks with a smile.

"Mundane, thank you." I already have some silver and cold iron, and will apply my own magic thank you very much :P

"That will be a single gold," Jie says, trying hard not to hide his disappointment at the meager sale, and holds out his hand through the window. Once Rakka relinquishes the requested coin, Jie pulls his hand back through the window and disappears for a moment.

If you should bother to test the opening while the merchant is away, you find the space as cold and unyielding as the stone from which the hut is constructed.

Jie returns and passes two full quivers through the window. "Here you are. We keep a stock of common mundane things near the windows. Oh, and I am more than happy to purchase the odd relic, jewel, antiquity or anything else of value you happen to find on the island."

You can sell your trade goods and unwanted treasure anytime you stop at a Stone Market.

Humble rummages about, looking to barter items for two Greater Striking Runes. Assume we have +2 weapons already but need the runes for Kyrie and Rakka. That would be 2130 GP. Look at the sheet for items sold and let me know if this works.

If GM allows us we can Ofer the runes onto weapons with 2 hours of downtime and head out.

Sounds fine to me.

"Runes? Oh, yes, of course," the merchant's eyes light up at the larger exchange of value in coin and trade. "If you like, we can take your weapons and have the craftsmen here affix them to your weapons for you."

This would cut your time used to 1 hour but leave you without those weapons for the duration.

We will just take the runes, thank you. Would rather take more time to affix than be without even for an hour.

Humble exchanges the goods for the runes, and then leads the way to a parakeet or other area adjacent to the market. Kyrie, will you inscribe the rune on your shield first?

Kyrie nods. ”Yes, thank you for your skill at handling purchases. I shall take care of the rest.”

She pulls out her tools and gets to work.

While Kyrie finishes the final touches on the rune affixed to her shield, a pair of figures arrive at the Stone Market. The two are identically featured Vudrani women in simple adepts clothes. They spy you and the right-hand woman immediately signal to one of the enforcers.

"You four! We are the Ahmoza Twins, and we challenge you to a match," the left-hand sister declares formally.

An enforcer moves towards the challenger. "A match has been declared," he consults a scroll that he pulls from his belt. "The Ahmoza Twins challenge Summary Judgement. How many feathers do you wager?" he asks the twins.

The two woman confer for a moment. "It is early, but we are confident. We wager two silver feathers," answers the right-hand twin and hands her two feathers to the enforcer.

The enforcer turns back to you. "The challenge has been made for two silver feathers. Please provide me with two silver feathers, and we will proceed to the arena," he says, clearly assuming that this early in the day you will have sufficient feathers to match the wager.

"Nice. We'll be halfway to ten before lunch!" Rakka says with a grin. He makes no effort to prevent the twins from hearing his boast.


| Extinction | url= |

"Very good," the enforcer says, collecting Summary Judgement's feathers. "Follow me."

The right-hand sister scoffs at Rakka's boast. "Oh, the tengu does not realize he faces graduates of not one but two monasteries of the House of Perfection!"

The enforcer leads you to the shore and then follows it to the south until you reach a shipwreck. He then leads each team to their starting positions. "Do not begin until I signal."

He, Ingdani, and the Ahmoza twins' guide climb the bluff to get out of the way of the battle. The enforcer raises his hand and then drops it, "Begin!"

The left hand sister slaps her hands together and a small burst of flame escapes between her fingers, but she delays a moment, muscles tense and eyes eager.

The twins each draw a bo staff from over their shoulder and run toward the base of the cliff where they take defensive positions, watching each other's flank. The grains of sand swirl faintly on the ground between the two women.

Rakka quickly nocks and draws an arrow. As the projectile flies toward the yellow-clad twin, it gathers a small cloud of pebbles, shells, and driftwood that fly at the target along with the missile.

Sand, shells, and other detritus from the old shipwreck rise and begin to follow in the arrow's wake. The twin nearly dodges the arrow, but the bladed head cuts a shallow line across her arm before the gathered mass of debris slams into her. She spits out a mouthful of sand as she glowers at Rakka.

Humble raises his shield and moves carefully forward, trusting Kyrie will soon step into the fray between himself and the twins. He then Seeks, looking for any tricks or hidden creatures, wondering what the catch is in this 2-vs-4 combat. +21 see invisibility.

Kyrie begins advancing, entering her battle stance and raising her shield.

The rest of Summary Judgement take defensive positions. Humble does find any hidden foe or danger, but you all see the feral glance the twins give each other once you move closer.

Flame forms in the palm of the left-hand sister and a swirl of snow forms in the right-hand sister's palm as they give each other a high-five. An impressive shower of flame and snow spits out between their palms. They then both make a series of hand signs, the one twin's the exact mirror opposite of the other twin's.

A thundering roar of orange flame flows from the left-hand sister's palm over the beach, threatening to burn Kioko, Kyrie, and Humble. Then a hissing wave of sleet and snow errupts from the right-hand sister's palm and washes over Kyrie, Humble, and Rakka.

I don't see any reason I can't Twin Parry before attacking, but if that doesn't work for some reason, I'll do it with my last action. I suspect I'm about to get double Stand Stilled, so I figured I could use the +1 to AC.

Kioko leaps behind the boulder at the perfect moment and avoids the flames.

Humble strikes the right-hand twin with a red ray of energy. The woman grimaces. Then she flexes and repels the magic from her body (critical success).

Kioko breaks from cover and delivers a dizzying assault with her blades. The twin knocks the katana aside with her staff but is too slow returning to position to stop the wakazashi from cutting a line across her thigh.

Rakka dances out of danger and then sends an arrow infused with wintery power back at the twin. His arrow cuts a line across her other shoulder, and the woman's lips turn blue for a moment.

Kyrie takes the brunt of the elemental assault. She heals her wounds with Iomedae's blessing and then advances upon the sisters. There she slams her shield into the left-hand sister's face.

The two women glance at each other, nod, and then glance toward Humble and Rakka. The left-hand twin breaks away from Kioko and Kyrie with a shout. She moves with supernatural speed, her form blurring into colorful streaks across the beach. Suddenly, she is in the midst of the Kalistocrat and the magus, and her bo staff sweeps around. Humble manages to hop over the staff, clearly because of his proper diet and right living. However, the enchanted wood catches Rakka in the knee and upends him, relatively painfully.

The other sister releases her ki with a shout and moves with the same supernatural speed to loom, indistinctly, over the prone Rakka. She concentrates a moment, and snow flakes begin to swirl around her. Releasing one hand from her staff, she punches down at Rakka with blinding speed. The first strike lands in the center of his chest and nearly takes his breath away, it lands so forcefully. Frost briefly spreads across his armor before melting. Fortunately, he narrowly rolls out of the way of the second strike.

Humble holds up a hand to his friends. "Hold while I pray."

He Steps back, incanting a prayer as he goes. Movement marked on map.

"Wealthy Father who art in Axis,
Grant us wisdom in seeking market trends.
Let us spread the joy of filing holy taxes,
and counting interest on every coin we lend.
Teach us, as we count our gold in holy vaults,
The acumen to exploit competitor faults."

As Humble's incantation ends, golden faerie fire illuminates the twins (and Rakka). Faerie Fire, visible creatures cannot be concealed

"Oof!" Humbled slightly after their quick response to his bragging, Rakka grins. In a blur, he flips up to his feet, defending himself as he steps away from the twins, then fires an arrow of pure force at the nearest of the two as he darts away.

Humble with draws and then adds the glow of gold to the morning sun on the beach, brining the twins back into focus.

Rakka glows as he flips back to his feet and makes a quick escape. Once in a better position, he releases an arrow of force. The magical missile slams into the right-hand sister's chest. She glowers at him. Whether over the blow or the escape, who can know?

Kioko catches up to the twins and lands both of her strikes.

Kyrie jogs back towards the others and the twins. She shakes her head as she begins breathing a touch heavier. ”Monks.”

She uses her momentum to launch a power jumping shield pound. Vs red

Kyrie and her shield slam into the twin, pushing her back in the sand. The martial artist responds by slipping her bo staff between Kyrie's legs and sweeping them out from under the knight. With the knight lying on the sand, the twin lets go of her staff with one hand and punches down with two rapid hammer strikes. Kyrie reflexively raises her shield into position just in time to intercept the blows, though the first dents her shield and momentarily numbs her arm from the force. The twin then sprints away to use Humble for cover against Rakka.

The other twin places her hand back on her staff and whips it down on Kyrie with lightning speed. The incredible force of the blow drives the wind out of Kyrie's chest (critical hit). She then sprints off to join her sister.

Rakkas brash boasting gives way to deadly focus as he darts along the boulder beside him, seeking a better shot. Skidding to a stop near the lapping waves, he fires at the twin beside Humble, his arrow wreathed this time in a spectral claw that slashes at the monk as it gets close.

Rakka's arrow cuts a deep line under the twin's armpit. The spectral claw rips her sleeve off and abrades her arm. The sheer force of the strike staggers the twin. She drops to one knee and raise a hand. "I yield."

The other twin scoffs, "Sister!" She does not look ready to surrender.

Humble, considering that it would be resource-efficient to proactively finish the battle quickly instead of reactively healing, takes his time and a ghostly white glove appears next to the standing sister. It radiates pale darkness and bushes her shoulder.

Kyrie stands, feeling roughed-up but with still plenty of fight left in her. She rushes after the remaining monk in the fight and tries to box her across the head with her shield.

The golden glowing twin bends backwards with improbable flexibility as Kyrie swings her shield at her head.

The twin who yielded moves away from the battle toward the shipwreck and tries to stem the blood slowly dripping from her arm. She will get it to stop. Eventually.

The remaining twin slides her staff behind Kyrie's leg and uses the force of her righting herself and the momentum of Kyrie's swing to tip the knight into the sand again, and again relatively painfully. The martial artist then takes one hand off of her staff and breaks from the others to charge Rakka.

She slams her palm into his chest with a crack of thunder (crit). Fortunately for him, the force pushes him back just enough that the second strike falls short and loses much of its force before she taps his armor.

"I'm not afraid to fight close." Rakka seems to draw energy into himself from the area around him, then lunges suddenly forward, striking at the monk with his beak as a spectral claw slashes out at the same time.

Humble reinvigorates Rakka once more, and then the tengu slams his beak into the twin warrior. The assault leaves her clothes ragged and her skin bruised and scraped. However, the woman still seems to have plenty of fight left in her. "Tsk!"

Kioko follows after the woman and tags her with her long blade. The twin dances aside of the short blade, though.
