The baliset is a nine-string instrument that looks (and sounds) similar to this, if you took the left-side fret board, and arranged above the right side. The treble is played with the left hand, and the bass with the right ![]()

Illthir whispers back with a giggle and attempt to hand over Erevenywg to Balzeros (if she wanted to come along of course!). "Yes. Might as well see what caliber of a player he is!" The man consciously seems to ignore the small crowd gathering around him, by looking away to study another table. ![]()

"And how long will that be, Sarenite?" Naughleck sheaths his sword, and turns to walk away. "The fight is over. I have my answer." As the fighter leaves he says "As you were." to the men at that gate, Zokon, the party, or all of the above it is hard to tell. ![]()

Tis good to see you, you training has served me well over the years and kept me alive...." he says with a little glee happy to see a welcoming face to start. "Has it?"

Naughleck Trip v Zokon (surprise): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 tripped With a sudden move the older man puts Zokon on his back, on the hard cobbles next to a stone well. The gate guards spin around to see what all the commotion is about. Round 1! (Theme ♬)

![]() "Zokon? Is that you lad?" calls a gruff voice from out of Zokon's past. Zokon: Naughleck is House Medvyed's Weaponmaster, a warrior who trains the other house fighters. He is middle-aged now, but presumably still capable having trained with some of the toughest swordmasters in Restov in his youth before coming to Stoneclimb. He is one of Lord Gurev Medvyed's chief advisors, and staunchest supporters. His last name is a moniker given to him for his skill at the lyre.
Zokon and he have have a passing student/combat instructor relationship as he often both the first and last instructor the martial men of Medvyed train with. It has been years since they have seen one another. Naughleck known to be open, and warm with his friends, and utterly merciless with his or his lord's enemies. |
