The Saga

Harvester 26, CY 592

Halfling soldier from Greyhawk stops at roadhouse. Propositioned by some shady individuals for cheaper entry to city of Seltaren.

Wroth Silver

Traditional event of Wroth Silver where cattle farmers pay silver piece tribute to the Duke. Draws a crowd, as well as two young rogues. Rogue does well, but find his friend has been shaken down by local thugs. Retire to their favorite bar.

In another part of town hafling soldier rents a room at the Grumpy Griffin Inn. Listens to another halfling play some music on stage. Eventually the two halflings and an odd girl in a unicorn mask discuss the upcoming Blackrazor tryout event. Halflings ask for a demonstration from girl, who takes them outside and calls down a beam of red radiant light on a piece of bread. Halflings agree that it's rather impressive.

Harvester 28, 592

Rogue checks in on his friend, then checks out the Arena of the Brawler for tomorrow's event. See's nothing goes looking for some marks. Decides to call it an early night when thugs show up in the bar.

Halfling soldier also checks out Arena. Thinks it's odd nothing is set up. Wanders around town asking what the feat of worth mentioned on the poster might be.

Halfling bard heads to family house trying to mend relationship with father. Fails again, and heads back to Grumpy Griffin Inn to play another set before retiring for the night.

Blackrazor Try-outs

Halflings and Girl show up at tryouts. About 3 dozen waiting, mostly farmers. Bard goes first, using minor illusion to cheer him on as he approaches. Cast's Fairy Fire, but Blackrazaor's aren't impressed. Tell him it's one gold to try out, and another 10 if accepted for required redshirt gear. Cast's vicious mockery on dummy and burst's head with psychic damage. Good enough for finalist. Joins what looks like a caravan guard and a farmer in finalist area.

Soldier's turn is next, and he heads to dummy's and cast's burning hands lighting all three on fire. Blackrazor leader claps excitedly claiming "Magic fire, a favorite of the Blackrazors! Well done." And he joins the finalists.

Girl is next, and when she reaches registration she becomes obviously upset. Bard calls out for her to show off the magic she did last night. She begins to cry and starts to head away. Soldier realizes she doesn't have the coin, and offers it up for her. She wipes away the tears, shows off the radiant damage, and the leader sends her to the finalist area.

Next is a pretty impressive fighter, who squares off against the Blackrazor weapon master. While he's not good enough to best the master, he gets a thumbs up and joins the finalist. There's also a shady fighter who shows off some bow skills good enough for finalist status.

Rogue's friend is next. Between his hangover and his previous wounds his show is very poor against weapon master. He protests about the damage, and the leader tells him to wait on the side and perhaps they'll give him a spot.

Rouge is the last one up. He's able to get a few solid hits in against the weapon master. Enough for the master to give him an ok, and he's a finalist.

In the end they allow the rogue's friend in as well. At suggestion from soldier, girl heals rogue's friend. Everyone given some questionable gear: very loose red linen tunic with a tar-painted sword. A very worn belt and scabbard with a copper longsword. Party lead to Blackrazor house, and find it's got burn marks on it. Inside looks like it hasn't been kept up very well either.
