Rig asks E4 to find Tem at fight pits
  The Crack Rack 5 meet at the Fight Pits
  As the hour of the show draws near, E4 and Vel make their way through the city to Balsam Square. More upscale cobblestone and wood lined houses and apartments line the streets. Other Behemith citizens pass by conversating, gossiping, peddling various wares, ect. Balsam stadium inevitably comes into view, surrounded by the rather expansive park and garden, which currently has several stalls and stands set up, specifically for the event. E-4, you’d have probably gotten there first, but either way it seems both of you are late, because the stadium is packed, and a fight is happening as you walk in. People are cheering, standing up out of their seats, and jumping about. Vel you make your way up to one of the rows near the top where you think you saw a few open seats, squeeze past a fat guy screaming with a mouth full of mutton, and a see a seat open next to a dragonborn.
  Eri, Vel sits down next to you, kind of half looking at the fight, half scanning the crowd, but you’re more focused on the flier in your hands, specifically at the name “Lileth Steelhammer, the protector” than him or the current fight.
  You’ve been waiting patiently for quite a bit now, and you hear Leeland, a young halfling with brown parted hair and an attempt of a mustache, pipe up behind you, “Did we miss her, maybe? I don’t actually know what she looks like. Could she have been that human girl in the beginning?”
  “Well regardless, there’s gotta be some way to get her attention. Do you think she’ll want to talk to us? I mean… how does my mustache look?”
  A resounding crack is heard as one of the humans in the pit maces the other in the face, blood and teeth scattering everywhere as he falls to the ground. Several people run onto into pit. One, a male halfling with a poofy purple and gold shirt, grabs the arm of a gaunt black-haired mustachio’d human in chain mail, and raises it “And the winner is…. Down and Dirty Rufus!”. Two others in brown tunics run over to the downed man healing him to consciousness with a dull glow coming from their hands.
  As the two are ushered off, the halfling touches his hand to his throat and announces, “For our next challengers, we have a battle for the gods. Starting on the left we have the Horned Hierophant, Ballarat Ironhide!...”
  A 6ft hulking minotaur in steel plate armor walks out standing tall, he raises both arms in the air, one fist clasping a long, spiked mace, and the other a large silver shield depicting a golden scale atop a Warhammer, the symbol of the Just God, Tyr. The crowd erupts into cheers.
  “And from the right side, your protector and mine, Lileth Steelhammer!”
  And even more cheers ring out, as a fully armored, dwarven individual steps out, a blue hieroglyphic-like eye on the back of each gauntlet, one of which is slinging a detailed but worn Warhammer over the shoulder, and a full helm obscuring their face, excluding a singular long blonde braid protruding from the back.
  No sooner do you hear the words “Fight!” than you hear weapons clank. Aggressive blows, back and forth, some parried, some shielded, some denting the armor in badly. Lileth swings with both hands right at Ballaraat’s head, but he ducks surprisingly low, scooping her over his left shoulder and throwing her behind him onto her back. He brings his mace down for two heavy strikes, but Lilith rolls out of the way of both. In that split second his mace contacts the ground, Lileth hops to her feet, and uppercuts Ballaraat, right to the jaw, knocking him clean out. The crowd explodes, as the crew runs out again. The halfling holds up Lileth’s hand: “Lileth Steelhammer, the protector!”
  More cheers, as Lilith removes her helmet revealing a tough and even kind of smug dwarven woman with blonde hair and a stereotypical scar over one eye. She waves at the crowd, and sits down at one of the VIP seats on the ground level outer edge of the pit.
  “Alright ladies and gentlemen, after the intermission we will be switching into or unarmed combat fights. But, what do you say we start it out right, with one fan favorite before the break?”
  “Well then let’s bring out our first fighter from the left, the magnificent mangler, the brawny beast slayer, our golden hero: Korgin Earthglade!”
  A man with flowing golden hair struts out raising two muscular arms to the sky. He dons a sleeveless blue and white tunic, with white baggy pants, and a brown cape, with has a weaving blue intricate pattern across it, as he smiles blowing kisses to the crowd. You all hear a few younger girls nearby squeal, through the cheers and applause.
  Then you start hearing a chant ramp up from significant portion of the audience around the stadium, “Face-wreck, Face-wreck, Face-wreck …”
  “From the right side, the man you know and hate, the brutal brawler, the savage savant, the scourge of Gruumsh himself, FACE-WREAKER!!”
  The crowd absolutely erupts into a cacophony of boos and swears and cheers, as the half-orc gladiator known to some as Facewreaker, others as Brogg, steps out into the pit.
  “On your marks, get set, Fight!”
      Tem and Bonestealer cause a commotion The group that will later become the CR5 meets Eri found out that Leeland has doubts about getting back on the road and heading to the temple Tem is trying to tell people that Bonestealer is a diddler to cover up for the fact that he owe him money Bonestealer said he'd come back with more goons, and that he’d remember Vel, E-4, and Tems face Brogg agreed to introduce Eri and Leeland to Lilith Steelhammer Eri convinced Debbie "Lilith Steelhammer" to possibly journey with her to Helm's Temple, and said to meet her at the Drunken Frog Inn in a week Tem and E-4 agreed to help Eri if she helps them get rid of these goon, to which she accepted Vel was much more reluctant and didn't say he'd help Brogg and Korgin walk off chatting The rest of the group waits around the outside of the arena until nightfall and Bonestealer and his goons never show up
