Finally, Theodore had heard about prizes being handed out at the event, not realizing there would be fight involved but alas, he is no position be picky on how he makes his income at the moment.
Sparring Session
Shortly after their introductions, the hostess of the event calls all of the associates to attention and orders them to stand against the wall. Once all are accounted for and preparations are finished, she begins requesting volunteers to come out and face each other in the introductory sparring sessions. Among the many different sparring sessions the three that stood out were as follows:
Isgrams was the first of the three to volunteer. His opponent was an elven assassin equipped with poison daggers. Isgram charged the assassin head on and landed a forceful strike, missing the second and taking a direct hit. However, he used the opening to land a finishing blow.
Briselle was second. Her opponent was a Dwarf magus using a pole arm to try and keep their opponent at a distance. It didn't work. Briselle quickly grappled the dwarf, pinning them to the ground and unleashed and earth shattering strike with her fist on the unfortunate magus' face.
Lastly, Thoedore walked forward and was put face to face against an orc warrior. Ingesting a quicksilver mutagen and preparing a goo grenade, the halfling charged at the orc with zeal. But misfortune would befall the alchemist when his pet rat on his shoulder would sneeze and cause him to loose focus and even worse, his grip. The goo grenade locks his leg in place and as he prepare another grenade, the orc swings a ball and chain. Theodore hurls the grenade, getting a direct hit on the orc. Unfortunately, this caused the orc to loose grip of the ball and chain. They too, would strike a direct hit on Theodore. The orc stumbled forward and readied to charge the unconscious halfling but was quickly stopped by the hostess.
