I Need Some Practice
General Summary
Prim has started to realize Pandora was a much more dangerous place than she'd expected! Needing to sharpen up her combat skills, she gathered a group to enter the arena in Xiomara for a bit of practice. Upon arrival they met a strange elven man who went by the name Medévah standing outside, promising a night of strange and wonderous entertainment if they would only follow him inside. Disturbed but intrigued by the elf's strange way of speaking the group walked inside, only to find a place very much unlike the arena some of them knew. Wandering around serving confused and slightly disgruntled patrons were more elves exactly like the one outside! Slowly making their way up to the bar they asked the familiar elf behind the counter for a drink, and each of them was given the same sickeningly sweet mead. While the party tried to speculate about just who this Medévah might be a quiet went over the strange establishment. A band seemed to arrive from nowhere and began to play, signaling the start of the night's activities! It seems the party had been selected to play in the night's games, and with dubious consent were all whisked away to the arena, a massive chessboard! Tonight's entertainment was a game of chess with a spin on it by Medévah, the participants wouldn't be moving the pieces, they would be the pieces! Across from the party were six identical versions of that strange elf, and soon the game began in earnest! While the party attempted to formulate some form of strategy, Prim proved true prowess for the game of wits as she rushed forward with a 'pretty horsey', making quick work of the king! Their celebration was cut short though as the party was returned to just outside the Xiomara arena, their reward for the night's victory in hand!
