 | Roy O'Baneon - The heir apparent of the 'Bane'. Few knew
that he existed until he showed up one day before the tournament
began. He immediately became the crowd favorite, eliciting
many chants and adulation. He proclaimed a return of the ways
of the 'Bane' if he were to win. He is a pugilist. |
|
The Silent Shadow of Lynkeed - A white-clothed and masked human
who came alone representing the temple at Lynkeed. |
| Gluz - One of two lizardfolk that came with a large contingent
from the temple in Lowlas. He is known as 'the Ram' and uses
Jaegenklars. |
| Valizar - From parts unknown, this large Gatori was selected by
the judge of the tournament to fight for him. He is trained in
Boronk ek Korda. |
| Vississ - A raging Vass from the Intorian desert. He came
with a contingent of humans and lizardfolk that treated him as one
would treat a slave. Vississ' near feral attitude makes slavery
seem the best thing for him. He uses the skills of the
Jaswapan Striker. |
| Yukimura - An elderly pugilist from a small Horarian town on the
western coast of the main continent. He arrived with a group
that all appeared to be related to him in some way, from parents to
grandchildren. |
| Xaraak - The second lizardfolk cleric from Lowlas. He is a
friend to Gluz and also uses the Jaegenklars style. |
|
Grant Heldoran - The representative of the Great Forest, Grant
bested a dozen different halflings to earn the honor of competing in
the tournament. He is a human and uses the Emenotan style. |
| Linquin - Sent from Ekarude by his master, the inventor of
Mentanjuang Kalehe Vae, Linquin is an Islander fighting for his
master. |
| Cobalt 4th Sledgehammer - Colbalt barely made it to the
tournament. He traveled night and day for over a week.
He arrived with a dozen other Sledgehammer dwarves to make sure he
reached Palumbton and to cheer him in the tournament. He knows
the style of Saoi Callum, the warrior of stone. |
| Maunus Saddleborn - A one time soldier in the Armus, Maunus had
retired to teach fitness and strength at a temple of Tyrogatore in
the Orcish Empire. His size, speed, and human blood prevented
him from advancing far in the military. He was approached by
an orcish commander that had just led the taking of Lynkeed asking
if Maunus would go to Palumbton and claim the temple there for the
empire by winning a tournament to crown a new high cleric.
Maunus agreed and was led by a contingent of 50 soldiers to
Palumbton. |
| Ecari - Sent by the temple of Undrile to compete in the
tournament and to look for skilled and trustworthy clerics of
Tyrogatore to tell of the events in Undrile. She is an elven
practitioner of Feyali-Treyla, the style created by Swali Vineleaf. |

close to Linquin both times and defeat him even blind and sickened)

fight, blinding strikes allowed Yukimura to gain a victory)

dealt out by the Jaegenklars)

in one of the three fights. They are forced to fight again a
week later.)
ROUND 7
Maunus
v. Cobalt (The mighty orc used some wisdom and his overwhelming size
to push the small dwarf far enough away for him to allow for his
devastating charge. The fight went three rounds and brought
