Look around for easily stealable loot.

Also: will there be more races?

Most likely as it progresses I'll add more.

Look around for easily stealable loot.

Also: will there be more races?

You get the good old kobold style itch to steal something. Your not sure where to go so you move over too the large grouping of tents where the merchants are. Its bustling with many short, ugly little kobolds who all want more. You think of yourself as a more enlightened kobold. Not just because your only half kobold, but because your just generally smarter. So you start to look for a mark, maybe trick a shopkeeper.


You decide on the latter.
Just which shop.
Looking around you, you see 4 good shops.
1x Magic/Library
1x General
1x Weapons
1x Armour

Seeing as the weapons and armor are a tad to small for you, you decide on hitting up the "Magic" shop. Which is basically a library of useless information, because not a single kobold has been a mage for 4 centuries. But hell, its something to do.

Walking up to the front of the makeshift counter of the yet. A hairy, smell, old Kobold looks up to you.

"Buy something or get the fuck outta 'ere"
"Grab your biggest tome of basic magical knowledge for me, or I'll cut out your tongue for speaking to me like that."
"Agh...bugger." spits out as he walks into the back of the tent.
Twiddling you greyish thumbs you grab a few stray pieces of copper off the top of the table.
As the old kobold walks up, sweaty and huffing. "I got it, I got it."
"Alright, go get me a book on the Felans"
"Ahh you little....FINE!" He stomps away back into the tent.
You grab the book, throwing it into your rucksack, walking off.

Looking around for a moment you ask yourself a single question "What next?"

Lets see if we can grab some stuff from the general goods lightly of course.

Wait, what?

Remember to walk a little slumped later on to fool the ones looking for a large kobold.

Find a quiet corner, then read the index of the book. If it doesn't mention basic alchemy see if you can find an alchemist and ask if he can teach you the basics of potion brewing for a few copper coins. No reason to get on the bad side with everyone yet.

Also, you dont think you have magical abilites, you just know no kobold has ever had one.

Everyone knows where bigger, so no ones looking for us, its kind of a thing thats planned for later

Lets see if we can grab some stuff from the general goods lightly of course.

Realizing you don't have much time till the tournament today you decide to go to the general store and acquire a few things. So you start the short walk over, but not before your good friend Elghik came to say hi.

Walks at your side, talking fast, and being very weird and suspicious as he always is. "Ey', hows it goin?"
"Just getting a few things before the tournament, you?"
"I dont see how some stupid, fake, magic book is gonna help your sorry ass."
"Ah steel your tongue, you know I'm going to defeat anyone who I'm put up against."
"Hah, you wish, big guy."
"Hey being half human has its benefits"
"What, like not being able to congregate anywhere without odd looks."
"No, more along the lines of being stronger then everyone here."
"Whatever."
"Well I have to get a few things from the store, so I'll be going on my way."
"Alright, don't die later, I need my partner to help me steal stuff"

Stepping off at the general store you see another short salesman with a very pudgy face. He looks a bit nicer then the previous owner.

"Hello, welcome to Cericks General Goods Galore, what do you want."
"Unm, okay,Give me a moment to think about this." A few moments pass "I want, one large ration, some pig tail thread, a metal needle, and some soap."
"You planning on getting some wounds, heh heh." the kobold laughs as he walks into the back of his tent."
You open your backpack and stick your arm in to look like your reaching for money.
"Alright, got em." He says walking back.
You keep digging around and stop for a moment looking at him. "And a small container of your best alcohol"
"Right." He utters, as he walks behind a cabinet.
Sliding all the items into your bag you start running, but not before shouting. "Relick, stop, thats mine!"and sprinting off to your tent once again.


You have about an hour before the tournament, during this tournament, all of the tents will be taken down. So, racking your mind for a moment you think of where to go to put your bag.
Thinking for a moment, you come to the conclusing that you need to hide it a ways away from the camp. So you take a 25 minute walk to the core of a surrounding forest. Find a nice little crevice to hide your items. In a distinct are you could find easily. But not before pulling out your book and reading for a moment.

Looking into the book for a moment, you come across an inscription you find interesting.

                                                                                                           This is a spell of wind
                                          Its a simple one, all you need to do is hold out a hand, palm facing outwards. And say the words of power stated below.
                                But beyond that there is more too it. You must focus on pushing outward from your hand, and pull from your mana pool to your hand.

                                                                                                                     Rayush Ikar


Holding out your hand you focus on your hand and pushing something magical, you dont know, outward.
"Rayush Ikar!" You shout

Nothing happens. "This is Yak Bull shit."
Putting the book away you slide you bag into the crevice and walk back. You have five minutes left before the tourney, but your still required to sign up, its silly.

Walking up to Large line of peopl, you walk in it for a few minutes, before it finally your turn.

"Name, and Starting weapon."
"Uhm-"

What the hell is your name?

Chapter 2
The Tournament

"Korai Skold, my dagger."
"Go to the left side, last to sign up, first to go" he says, giving you a toothy grin. "First round through is hand to hand only."
"Fine."

Walking over to left entrance of the arena, Which is pretty much just a bunch of small rocks in a large circle about 30 ft in diameter, You step inside.

Looking over to the opposite side you see a tiny kobold, about up to your stomach. From the right of you, you hear the same guy from before shout "GO!"

Standing in place you decide defensive until he gets close. As he gets closer you start to move forward, now about 6 ft apart. Staring at him, you can tell he thinks he can win. As he rushes up to you, you throw a push kick, catching him in the stomach. You hear him almost, hiss? Tut "Blaghh", as he falls. Staying back you wait for him to get up, wanting to play on your own grounds.

As he stands up, you let him get somewhat closer this time, before hitting him with a kick from the side, at maximum force. You definitely her some ribs crack. He drops like a stone, clutching his side. Advancing upon him you get behind him, raising your foot above his skull, stomping once. He stops moving, but keeps breathing. He wont wake up for awhile.

Walking back over to where you entered you take a seat by the sidelines, watching a few matches go by. You see Elghik win his match via incapacitation. Nice.

After a few more fights, its your turn again. Stepping up to the left side once again, you unsheathe your dagger. Your opponent, about the same size as before, is carrying a copper boning knife. You almost laugh.

You hear the sound, indicating a start. You rush forward, meeting your opponent about seven feet to your side. Your about, four feet apart, circling each other. He rushes forward at you stabbing the knife forward. You dodge to the left, and slash his extended arm with your dagger. He retracts his arm quickly, hissing at you. At that moment you decide to get in close. You get within two feet of him and throw a flurry of about three slashes at him, two connecting with his chest. He dropped his knife trying to cover himself, so you forward kick him in the chest in an effort to push him away. As he falls over you grab his knife with your left hand. You sit there for a moment, he's just lying on his back, writhing in the dirt and clutching his chest. Moving to his side you kneel next to him, give a moment of silence, and then plunge your dagger into the side of his neck. Pulling it out, you wipe the blood on his side, and sheathe you dagger. Keeping his knife in your left hand.

You exit via the left again, and sit back down where you where before. From behind you, you hear many "Nice Kill!"'s but you don't really care. You just want to get this over with, maybe score some gear. Watching a few more fights you see Elghik get incapacitated by a strike to the face.....with a staff. You chuckle a bit, glad he didn't get killed, and have a sip from a bucket of water. You watch a few of the other fighter sipping from large barrels of alcohol. Imbeciles.

You take a moment to get ready for your next fight, rolling your shoulders. You get prepared, for this is the quarter final, which means 2 more fights after this. A moment later your called to your lovely position on the left, and look across.


He has a sword.


Shit, shit, shit. You think to yourself. I fucking knew this was going to happen, what fighting style should I use? Should I try to tackle him? Gods damn it!"

How much smaller than us is he?

[DaveTheGrave]

Same as the other, stomach height. He has a two handed sword, which would be a short sword for you.

[DaveTheGrave]

Posted this once a couple of days ago but it dissapeared due to some sort of glitch. Thsi si going to be extremely shortened, and forced pretty fast, but it'll happen.

Chapter 3: Uh Oh

Fuck it, I'm gonna destroy this guy.

Rushing forward with your dagger in hand you meet at the center. He holds his sword in both hands, forward, then quickly brings it down with a vertical slash. Dodging to the left the sword connects with the dirt inches to the right of your right foot. As he struggles to pull his sword out of the dirt you grab his right wrist, with your right hand, and put your left hand on his elbow. You pull with your right hand, and push with your left hand. His arm snaps instantly. As he lets out a scream, you raise your right foot, and stomp on his right knee, snapping it back like his elbow. He falls over, clutching his elbow still. You dive on top of him and begin pounding away at his face, left, right, left, right, left, right. For what seems like minutes, until his muffled screams stop. Letting you mind focus, you look down and see your work. His face was horribly disfigured. Pulling his sheathe off his belt, you connect it to yours. Reaching over to the sword, you yank it out of the ground with one hand, and sheathe it. Sighing, you walk out of the arena, sitting on a log and drinking some water.

The next fight goes quite easily, you simply impale the bo-staff using man, and walk out.

pumping yourself up for the final round, you get a glimpse of your opponent, all he had was a dagger, this is gonna be easy. A few minutes later you walk into the arena, and rush forward. You meet at the center, and your feeling pretty cocky. You swing horizontally, and he ducks under it, doing a light slash across your side. You grit your teeth, and back off. You swing vertically on top of his head. He quickly blocks with his dagger, holds your hand up, and stabs you in the side. You lost hold of your sword and fall on your back. Looking up at your opponent, he stand there with his dagger eerily. You think back to your dream, and start to panic. You start yelling. "No, no!". He grins and laughs to himself for a moment, and then steps back, then lounges forward.

You push your hands forward and scream out "Rayush Ikar!"

Ear bursting wind rushes forward, launching your attacker into the air 15 feet, before coming down with a thud. You slowly get up, picking up your assailants dagger, you stumble over top of your opponents chest. He's screaming, but the area lower then his neck appears to be paralyzed. You raise the dagger, and start stabbing it into his chest. After a few moments, his eyes glaze over and he stops fretting his head. You drop his dagger, and grab your sword, sheathing it quickly, and stumbling out the right side of the arena. Everyone around you is awestruck, you move out to the forest, and find a pond near your bag. You clean out your side with some soap you grabbed, then bandage them. You move to where you stashed your bag, grab it and sit for a moment.

What do you do? If you stay someone might assassinate you, but if you do, the wilderness might hate you. A third option appears in your brain, maybe wait until night, grab anything you can, then just head any direction but West.[/font]
