Hobgoblin Arena
General Summary
Nahshon, Kalvin, Kivi and Crik Crak met together at the Flame of the Forest Inn in order to travel south to Lakeside and compete in the Hobgoblin Arena. On their way south, they were attacked by a fearsome manticore. They managed to defeat it, with most of them taking wounds. Arriving in Lakeside, they gave their names and cities they came from to the gate guards and agreed to obey the laws while there. They did a little shopping and stayed the night in the Portview Inn.
The next morning, they went to the arena. There they signed up to fight, paying a 25gp entry fee and signing waivers which stated that they Hobgoblin Nation held no liability toward any harm or injury received inside the arena. Kivi made a bet that someone would turn to stone during their match. After listening to groups ahead of them fight their fights, they finally got to enter the arena themselves.
At first, they saw nothing. But after some careful looking around, they saw the eyes of some creature watching them from one of two artifical ponds created in the arena. When Nahshon got too close, a crocodile burst out of the water and managed to grab him in its jaws. However, before it could do a death roll, the rest of the party managed to bring it down. They had a brief breather after that fight, when a giant toad burst out of the other bond, managing to grab a hold of Nahshon again (he just wouldn't move away from the water) and pull him into the pond. However, Kivi, in the form of a stone dinosaur, jumped on the toad's back and killed it, but got poisoned in the process. While they were struggling to get Nahshon out of the water, their final challenge arrived in the arena. A flail snail came oozing toward Kalvin, the only one directly in front of it. He kept shooting arrows at it, having little to no effect. As the party got Nahshon out of the water, the snail burst forward suddenly, but completely failed to hit Kalvin. After a short, but fierce, fight, they came out victorious in their debut match as Three-and-a-half Spears.
After the match, the hobgoblin officials begrudgingly paid Kivi his bet winnings, informing him that he would no longer be able to make such a bet again. Had they known of his abilities, the bet would not have been accepted. The party then returned to Xiomara without issue.
