The Deostok Games: Evil Edition

by Avon Ilisalor

I now know that I don't do well in a fast current. Turns out strength is a key component of wading through a turbulent river. When I finally surfaced I saw Antwon and Percival fighting for the final victory and to grab the spear. It was a difficult battle but Percy was finally able to wrench the spear free and named the winner of the event. Luckily it was top five got into the final and thus Antwan and a 5th place Aeldred snuck into the winning. Amos was also discovered to be a cheater. In the end while I couldn't swim like the meat bros I could still state I am a stronger competitor then Amos.
 
While they were thrilled with their victory and celebrating, I also had a victory having been gifted a large sum of gold from a fortuitous event that happens in gambling towns such as Deostok. That night we rested well at the Registrar House which if we win could be a hall of our own. As I drifted into a restless watch I did see Antwan win his own victory with what appeared to be a lady of the night smitten with him: Aldrine.
 
Following this event we entered the next competition of jokes. Vespi, Antwan and myself signed up. Antwan got offended by people laughing and tried to fight the crowd. My deadpan wit was surprisingly well received but it was Vespi and her pretty pixie personality that took the win in the end.
 
Following this we were engaged in a horizon back riding challenge. Amos was determined and put all of his ability in, tried his absolute best. He looked like the best version of himself. He then lost to a random guy named Specolis. Later that night I saw Amos hanging out with Antwan and Specolis. I thought it odd of Amos to be such a bigger man after his crushing defeat and decided to follow him. They all went for a stroll and ended up in an alley. I, watching from the end of the alley, saw Amos tear Specolis limb from limb and devour his flesh. I was relieved to know that Amos was a monster in life as in personality. Antwan was covered in the blood of Specolis but seemed oddly unperturbed by the whole situation. I decided at that point to step away from the situation and let sleeping dogs/Amos lie. When I returned to the inn I did see Vespi chatting in a very provocative manner to Taringer Darington. I swear everyone of my party are horn dogs, or horn bulls.
 
The next morning I put away the debauchery of the night before and we engaged in a riddle event. It went well with Amos being guided by the mistakes of Aeldred to get a medal finally. Also Aeldred now has gills. So he is officially our man-cow-fish party member or "krakenkow". This is what you get when you try to apply Krakow logic to human riddles.
 
That evening I decided that I knew enough of the unsavory parts of our whoring, flesh rending, gill breathing, fop seducing party and decided to strike into town on my own! While out and about I was struck by religious fervor and joined a church! I found some excellent individuals of the cult of Asmadeus. They were a bit desperate for attention from their god (The Lord of the 9 hells who rules over those who died), so I decided that as one closer to death then almost anyone I could help inspire them. With a little soul searching and then soul possessing, I let them know the demands of the dead. They are to help us find information of the Library.
 
There may have also been a small riot to burn down the church of Bahamut to help financially support their travels.
 
Having made new friends and a church community, I joined back with our party and we crushed the second last event the Medal of the Maze. By "we crushed it" I do mean the magical side of the party not the meat head side of the party who got lost easily *Aeldred* cough.
 
With the completion of all these events there was but one left: The Great Paddywack Activity. We were bad at it. Through and through. End of story.
 
Today we are now at the precipice of becoming lords of Deostok with the only thing in our way is a pesky challenge of finding a treasure in a nearby sunken hidden temple. We have brought our new fall guy Taring along to make us be a full team for the event, he was able to pass the riddle test following his seduction of Vesperra. In the end the winner of the event will be made the 7 seats of the council of Deostok. I believe that Tarington's goal of creating the old Deostok not to be in our best interests but that is something to review when we have him surrounded, isolated and next deep in water in a sunken temple.
