Verbal Report (as told by Benny)
We went to this big venue called the Heroic Gambit to put on a good show for someone named Rent, as well as a packed tavern hall. Turns out their idea of a good show is kickin' some wholesale ass. It's a good thing we're good at that. After suggesting a river, barricades, and about twenty other obstacles and traps, we went to our dressing room, where a full arsenal of arms and armor awaited us. We came prepared, though -- after about an hour, we entered the arena against some specially-procured devils. Chrys almost got shitcanned out the gate by the Barbazu, who then proceeded to duel Raijin for a hot minute. He almost killed Raijin too, 'til Zeal intervened with a glaive to the face, at which point Zeal tied the dumb son of a bitch up and drowned him in the quicksand at the bottom of the river. The crowd loved it, we all got paid, and we spent like an hour giving autographs and words of advice. Kali even got a pet! Oh right, and someone tell Illiam: I got a gig set up as a hype man for some cockatrice fighting ring; I gave 'em the address to the leather shop, since Saint don't really care much for company.
