Having met in a previous expedition involving the powerful being known as Sir Egg, Theodore and Isgram get quickly re-antiquated while also meeting Briselle for the for time. Isgram asks them both their reasons for participating in the career fair nad both respond. Briselle, a devoted follower of the Goldclaw wishes to join as a member of the Order of Goldclaw.

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.

Isgrams was the first of the three to volunteer. His opponent was an elven assassin equipped 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 cause 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.

===Order Introductions===
After all the sparring sessions were settled. Next came the order introductions. The first to make an appearance was Zeal, The stoic Lictor of the Order of the Goldclaw.

And finally was Radari, Lictor of the Order of the Scourge, arriving in a particularly theatrical display. Each order discuss their ideals and goals as well as where each could be located and how top sign up.

===Finishing Ceremony===
"Hello everyone, I am Zeal, Lictor of the Godclaw Hellknights and reformer of the Hellknight orders of Onadbyr. I founded the Godclaw order because I believe in their creed, righteousness by obedience, and in the depictions of the Five Hellknight Gods found within the holy texts. These being Iomedae and Torag, the hellknights of offense and defense respectively, Irori, the epitome of emotionless discipline, Abadar, keeper of laws, and Asmodeus, the strategist king. To be a member of the Godclaw you need not follow the Five as a whole, but you must strive to be worthy of the Five. An exemplar of order, someone your community can trust to be a fair and righteous judge when you are needed most. You must eliminate chaos at its root, not sow further chaos by indiscriminately destroying until the problem is solved. To that end, you must always be ready to fight lawlessness, no matter the hour or the foe. You must seek the universal laws that transcend the faith of any individual god and hold all accountable to them.  And above all else, show temperance in all things. Do not believe you know better than the Five, do not think weaseling around the rules will be tolerated by us, or the Gods. Be disciplined. Be strategic, be worthy of representing the Five. I have proven myself worthy before the eyes of the Gods personally, and this weapon at my side is proof. I was no better than any of you when I first started my training, a teenager with worn texts and even worse equipment. To be a Godclaw is to know your place as an arbiter of law and righteousness, and prove it before the Gods.For those of you who wish to prioritize your community, a recent shift in the will of the Five has led to a recent division among the order. A second, slightly different pantheon stands for you.  The Talons of the Godclaw are a subsect of our order that trade out Torag for Uirch, in a deal only the Gods themselves are privy to. The Bulwark, a god of protecting the weak, thus brings a slight shift in the edicts. Divine order and balance are your namesake, and your faith is proven by shielding others from chaos. You are a proselytizer, sent out to find the worthy and train them in the ways of the order. All else remains the same,  the Five are still your guiding star to find understanding, and chaos is still to be stopped wherever it is found. If you seek to join our order, think wisely on which side you fall on. You will still be my Hellknights regardless, but you will function differently from some of your brothers and sisters."
After the introductions were complete, attendees were free to ask questions or talk amongst themselves. Eventually ending with a grand dismissal.
