Session Notes

 * Elisen Herfina asks the Archmage to help her gnome friend Maglon. Tearlag Gravehearth can't return the limb, but she can heal her and make her comfortable.
 * Elisen also asks Tyrol Gravehearth about dwarven buriel rites, for her fallen comrades. With some assistance he is able to make some piers, carve some stones, provide ale, and give them a respectful send-off.
 * While Elisen and Maglon aren't in a position to assist them with finding the Lich, they do keep company with the group as they all travel to the Shirou Raion Koroshiamu.
 * They drop down onto a dirt road which leads around to the coliseum proper, and over a well crafted bridge up to the enormous and impressive building.
 * They see another group ahead of them pass through one of the large doors.
 * The guards, Buncho the Highland cow bovian, and Yodo the anteattian demi-human, enquire on their visit and wish them well.
 * They have a look around the circular tiered interior.
 * Sneek Ash-hide guides them to the nearest bar, and the barkeep, a Kangarian demi-human, Kingo Barhop.
 * They ask about participation in the coliseum fights, and Kingo not only gives them the run-down on solo and three-person team events of fair but unfiltered combat, but also ends up registering Cerda Hammer, Sneek Ash-hide, and Tyrol Twinkle Toes as a group. He also informs them that Danno Hardnose is the bookie they need to see, but betting won't be open yet.
 * As they take seats around the central pit of the coliseum, Cerda has a scan around seeing a few interesting individuals and groups.
 * On a raised section a Aldacian halfling in a sharp suit, a Piggian demi-human in a dull suit and a behind them a Mustang horsian demi-human emerge.
 * The halfling raises a large conch shell which carries his voice, as he announces the main event: “Yo, listen up fight fanatics, your evenings entertainment is a special personal challenge event! So listen up, I was there right? When this big clacker dude rocks up, and be all like, ‘I don’t respect you’, and the champ, she be like ‘well, bad luck for you’, and dude was like ‘what? Hell no’, and champ was like ‘for real?’, so he was mad and such, so goes ‘I could beat you any day of the quantum’, and the champ, all cool ‘n’ shit, cold as you like said ‘I’m free tomorrow’, and I was like daaaamn! So, you know, we doing this shit. Right now!”
 * He hands off the shell to the piggian who announces the challenger and champion as they enter the arena.
 * The first out is a large crabbian demi-human, Pincerton Paiko, with silly small legs, only due to the off-set size of his buff top half. Clacking his pincers as he does circles in the sand... to a mild reaction.
 * The reigning coliseum champion is out next, a muscular orangey-red tiefling, Riphi. Her calm emergence into the central circle causes uproar from the gathering crowd.
 * Keeping it to herself, it also causes a spark of recognition in Cerda.
