Turns towards towards the wench at the mention of her name, listening intently to the words that come from the wenchs mouth… "A challenge? Why not" she smiles politely, waiting for instructions as to who goes first. As she waits she looks around the tavern space at the other contestants, interested and curiously.
The Town's drunkard Tavern Wench dares the Jump Tavern stools challenge. Of which silly Jojo accepted. Ouch! Not a good landing. All witness Jojo land in between the tables right on a center stool that breaks under the weight of the impact. Jojo has not the Jump Skill but unwisely thinks to be better than the Tavern's Challenge much to detriment of Jojo. What an embarrassing situation! That brings on some giddy laughs.
The Town's thunderous Tavern Wench yells out that no coward should take up the Jump Tavern stools challenge. Of which fearless Merlin accepted. Showing off some skill, Merlin jumps clear over to the other side in stylized fashion much to the amazement of those watching. Merlin uses the Jump Skill successfully and amazes those around them. Some were betting, so a total of 17 gold pieces was collected for Jump. A loud roar of joy errupts as they say "Merlin is a champion of Jump, who can do greater?" Merlin received 24 experience points.
The Town's drunkard Tavern Wench dares the Reflexes competition of which fearless Torac accepted. Sharp on the move Torac stands at the ready as all the mugs go up into the air. Without much hesitation all are caught! Torac triumphs in the Reflexes Skill with success and is quite happy at the result. Bets totalled 8 gold pieces on your Reflexes. Everyone sings "Reflexes is no match for Torac." Torac received 35 experience points.
Happy with the result Torac pockets the wagered gold - about to embark on an adventure you never knew when a little extra might come in handy. Nodding to a couple of familiar faces Torac exchanged some chat then, making plans for his departure, headed for the door.
Chewing thoughtfully on his breakfast Torac watched as the hand wrestling challnage was issued. Having business to attend Torac stayed seated and washing the meal down with a final swig of coffee he pushed his chair back from the table and headed for the door, intent upon the tasks which lay ahead of him, the challenge alrwady forgotten.
