Rudbeks attacks Rek'hal
Rek'hal takes (cleave) 2024 damage (-596/8000)

In the next room, something terrible was hanging from the ceiling and stared at Alaria with a menacing gaze through its numerous eyes. ??? uses Subjugation Failure Initiative Elrina (75) ??? (60) Alaria (37) Altina (37) ___ Since ??? is hanging from the ceiling, it is not possible to attack it in melee combat.

I hope this doesn't explode.

It seems the Hero is firing freezing rounds. Altina is providing fire support.

- Tea, if you please.
On the way to the amphitheater, Melissa imagined the coordinator as some kind of irritable, nervous old man, so it was a huge surprise for her to see a young girl of such radiant beauty in this role. The journalist smiled to herself - if she hadn't known Ipomea Flox, Ilea Dayford could easily have taken her place in her heart.
- I've been living in Reims for some time now, and I've never been to this amphitheater. Inside, the feeling is completely different than outside. Which is not surprising, if you believe what I've heard about this place, - Nano prepared the equipment. - Thank you for taking the time to meet with me; we plan to publish this information in the next issue, and it will be very useful and interesting for a large number of readers. As far as I understand from the announcements in the city, several contests are planned, possibly with some prizes. In fact, could you shed some light on these upcoming events?

Basically, I'm waiting for instructions, I suppose.

When the newly arrived gathered at the designated location at the designated time, Sorachi Takahashi, the current commander of the fortress on Raizyu, approached them. After finishing with the formalities, he quickly got down to business.
— In two weeks, a so-called "airship" belonging to smugglers known in the south as the "Autumn Leaves" will arrive on the island, and we will have to meet them.
— They will deliver the necessary equipment and supplies for creating a communication network using modern technology," explained Fukushiro Goemon, "this will allow us to maintain communication between our allies over long distances, but for this, we will have to configure this system in advance.
— Correct," Takahashi confirmed briefly.
— In addition, they will have to provide us with special devices to enhance the physical capabilities of the warriors – "enhancers" and "boosters."
— Yes," Takahashi confirmed again. "No matter how much we dislike the idea of cooperating with foreigners and using their technology, Tokita-sama decided that this is a correct and, perhaps, necessary step to achieve the tasks set before the warriors of Nihon.
— I understand that it may be difficult for you to imagine what this is about right now, but everything has its time. The main thing is to realize that this is important.
— This is our goal for the near future: in a few days, we will have to meet a boat with people from Taiho; they will bring money and jewels for exchange, and until then, you are free. Sorachi Takahashi looked at the newly arrived again. — Also, tomorrow there will be a competition in military skills to hone our skills; everyone is invited to participate.
Competition Rules
The winner receives +2 skill points or the opportunity to create their own technique, which in the future can be purchased for 2 skill points.

“Well, this is your chance to fight me, Tachiki,” Tsukiko remarked to her teammate. Then, addressing the commander in a louder voice, she added, “I hope this competition isn’t one where we have to lose allies?”

“Absolutely not; in this way, we are trying to increase our forces, not weaken them,” explained Fukushiro Goemon.

The girl nodded; she had no more questions. They needed to prepare for the competition, and that was a lot of work. First, she would talk to Keiji, who seemed like a promising fighter – maybe he would reveal his techniques? But they had to wait for the official announcement that they were free.

- I've lived in Rheims for some time now, but I've never been to this amphitheater. The atmosphere inside is completely different from the outside. Not surprising, considering what I've heard about this place," Nano prepared her equipment. "Thank you for taking the time to meet with me. We plan to publish this information in the next issue, and it will be very useful and interesting to a large number of readers. From what I've gathered from the announcements in the city, there are several competitions planned, possibly with some prizes. Could you shed some light on these upcoming events?

— This article will undoubtedly be useful to both the "Chronicles" and its readers, as well as to the amphitheater, so I will, of course, try to tell you everything, using all my knowledge on the subject. There will be a total of seven competitions and, accordingly, entertainment events: running, a male face beauty contest, a female face beauty contest, a singing contest, a dancing contest, and competitions in traditional and ethereal weapon shooting. It is important to note that the ticket price for each of these events varies and is as follows: running and traditional shooting – 100 Rumies, face beauty contest – 150 Rumies, dancing and ethereal shooting – 200 Rumies, singing – 500 Rumies. Now, let's go over each event in order. Running competition – the goal is to cover (50 units) and finish ahead of your rivals. – A speed throw is made from the minimum to the maximum movement speed of the character. – There have been many controversies on this issue, but the administration insisted on its decision to allow the use of enhancers and other equipment that helps the athlete move faster. The prizes for the top places will be as follows:
First place
20000 Rumies, +20 to Initiative, +3 to movement speed.
Second place
5000 Rumies, +1 to movement speed.
Third place
+1 to movement speed.
— The following participants are currently registered for these competitions: Norax, Metis, Narissa Essenhal, Estia Laxs. So far, they are not well known, except that the first two are Dreyerians, whose numbers in the capital have increased significantly in recent years. Now about the face contests:
First place
20000 Rumies, the opportunity to be featured on the cover of a popular magazine, +15 to Charisma.
Second place
5000 Rumies, +5 to Charisma.
Third place
+5 to Charisma.
— The winner will be chosen by the amphitheater audience by voting. – Players vote from largest to smallest, NOT on behalf of their characters, and thus reflect the opinion of the audience. – The following are currently registered for the female category: Azuria Fox – a charming saleswoman from a grocery store in the city center, Arietta Gold – the wife of a wealthy baron from Laithia, Artera Milas – the daughter of a capital merchant and a fan of Nihon culture, Godecia T. Igria – an elf from Alait practicing the "Shining Sword" style, in which she is supposedly second only to S. Tessenam, Ertela Aust Rumille – the granddaughter of a blacksmith from "Ladan". In the male category, you can expect to see the following contestants: Dakhlas van Lloyd – a baron from the province of Brightwin and one of the most outstanding students of Feit Gillingston, Mefes – a mysterious Alaitian who, apparently, participates in the competition solely for the money, although, perhaps, I shouldn't say that, – Ileya paused for a moment, – it's better to remove this part from the interview... Milanis Viretia – the son of a Laithian count, Thias Elmore – a Darki knight, Elix Garond – a worker at the C-0 ethereal reactor. Singing. This competition is the most important of all – people have always been crazy about music, and as a result, interest in this event is higher than in the others. – Players vote from one to 10, NOT on behalf of their characters, and thus reflect the opinion of the audience; accordingly, to participate, you will need to submit a musical composition with a predominance of vocals, reflecting the voice of the player's character. – The prize fund is, accordingly, also higher.
First place
50000 Rumies, +20 to Charisma, +1 to Attack or +1 to Defense.
Second place
10000 Rumies, +10 to Charisma.
Third place
5000 Rumies.
— The following have signed up for this competition: Angel – a sorceress from Brightwin, famous primarily for her luxurious and very unusual wings for a human, Zestris Vann – a person about whom nothing is known except his name, Minos Kalamansi – a well-known opponent of the government's policy in the capital, Mushimaro – the winner of the races held at the capital's hippodrome three years ago. Phew... – The coordinator took a short break. – So, what's left... Dancing. – A total throw of Charisma and Dexterity from the minimum to the maximum five times, taking into account certain bonuses from specific perks, beliefs, etc. – The prizes are as follows:
First place
20000 Rumies, +1 to Attack.
Second place
5000 Rumies, +5 to Dexterity.
Third place
+5 to Dexterity.
— The following dancers have signed up: Seonhwa – a traditional Taehan dancer, Serana Istleik – mmm... to be honest, nothing is known about her... Apparently, she is an unremarkable resident of the capital; Thalias Forengard – the eldest son of the Forengard family, who is very popular with young girls; and, of course, Princess Erimida from Serafol, known outside her homeland for her unearthly beauty.
Having finished with the dances, Ileya took a short break to re-brew the tea and give herself a little rest.
— I must admit, this turned out to be a little more tiring than I initially expected... – After resting and regaining her strength, she continued her explanation. – Traditional shooting.
First place
10000 Rumies, an "epic" bow, +10 to Perception.
Second place
5000 Rumies, +5 to Perception.
Third place
+5 to Perception.
— The participants are Krinjh Edjdark, Ledon, Primula, Fion. Little is known about most of them, but Primula attracts attention at least by the fact that she is a Camelian. But in any case, I think that the ethereal shooting competition will be much more difficult for potential participants, since among those who have already signed up are such names as: Aylon Cross – as one of the engineers of Rheimsford, he knows well how the weapon he uses is arranged; Alice Lit – a master of ethereal weapons; Climena Deris-Dame – a former instructor in ethereal weapons at the Imperial Military Academy; and also Tiella, known for her keen eye. – Ileya seemed to be finished, but then she remembered something. – Oh yes, of course: I hope that everyone who decides to visit the amphitheater will get an unforgettable experience and pleasure, both as spectators and as participants!

The girl nodded; she had no more questions. They needed to prepare for the competition, and that was a lot of work. First, she would talk to Keiji, who seemed like a promising fighter – maybe he would reveal his techniques? But they had to wait for the official announcement that they were free.

Sorachi Takahiro allowed the newcomers to return to their tasks and retired to his room; Fukushiro Goemon followed suit.

- I wonder where they all come from in these dungeons, - said the elf, slightly annoyed, as he examined the spider. - We need to be careful; this is definitely not the only surprise that awaits us here.

Halmaldir found nothing of interest among the remains, and Rudbeks contemptuously kicked a dead spider with his foot.
