Lialda Strongarm's page

After devouring her salmon, Lialda decides to finally delve into the crowd. She makes her way towards the stage in the center, carefully forcing her way through the tightly woven crowd. Bumping into another woman, who Lialda notices shares her pointed ears, she comes upon Father Zantus.

Hello Father. I just blew into town and was wondering what this festival is all about. I won't say no to a free lunch, but I would love to learn a bit about the history behind it.

A strikingly red-haired young woman stands alone along the outer edge of the crowd, taking in the scene with keen eyes. Lialda has a worn look to her; the look of a traveler who just blew into town. Her armor shares the worn look of her body, and they both look like they are in desperate need of a bath. In contrast, a polished long, curved blade rests over her shoulder, gleaming as if it were brand new. One can tell, though, that it has know battle, blood, and sorrow. It catches the light of the sun in such a way as if to pierce the soul, just like her eyes.

After the opening speeches, Lialda makes one last scan of the scene and proceeds to drift along the edge of crowd towards the food tent with the curry-spiced salmon. Skipping over any introductions or other nicities, she requests a whole salmon from the hostess and promptly digs in, as if she hadn't eaten a real meal in days, which would not surprise anyone there.

I stroll around the festival, browsing the wares, eating the free food (hey, when you're poor, you take what you can get), and occasionally stopping by to watch some of the games and events. Eventually I come to Ameiko's stand.

Hey, it's Ameiko, right? You seem to be in the know about this town. What's its deal? What is this festival about, and what happened to the old Cathedral?

I turn my back on the brawl and walk off in the direction of the venison Thanks for the suggestion. That sounds like a much more appealing bloody mess than this crapshow

Hey Aerlinniel, wanna go check out something a little less disappointing? Looks like there is plenty of interesting things in this festival I start to walk off

I shout at Dick and Jubei Have fun wasting your money! I'm gonna go get me some of that free food

Well that confrontation was not as entertaining as I had hoped. Also, this seems like a scam...

I take in the scene of these the half-wits exchanging words with a massive man. I chuckle to myself Oh this will be fun

I walk with Aerlinniel That would be great. You and I, we should stick together

I'm Lialda Strongarm. I'm just an adventurer from a faraway land, passing through. I do tend to rely on my strength though, and I fully intend to brandish it here

I introduce myself to Aerlinniel I'm Lialda by the way. Care to join me in the competition? Put these guys in their places?

(to Aerlinniel) Right? These guys are pathetic. They look like they've never worked an honest day's work in their lives.

I scoff at them, put my hands on my hips, and watch disdainfully.

I punch Dick in the face. hard. Wanna say that again?

*ehem* did you not challenge me, dick? (refering to Jubei, not Dick)

Oh you challenging me foo? You wanna go? Oh are you challenging me? I could bench you. Bring it on.

I go to try my hand at the weight-lifting competitions. I muscle my way through the crowd to the center, as they do not seem to be very receptive to a woman entering their competition. I push the big-looking f$*#er who just went aside and demand a weight to lift.

Yeah, you're probably right. He just better hope his friend isn't standing next to him, or his friend will get cleaved like a b$&@~.

No, she isn't. She is a poor lady living on the outskirts of Elidir, in Isger, with my brother.

Your definition of civilian is overly vague.

I punch Jubei in the face for spitting in mine.
