Session Notes

 * The festivities around Origin's promenade continued.
 * Tyrol Gravehearth, half drunk, was able to still show his mastery, and while she was stunned, made Dawngarde Vaalyun Olalynn omit defeat in single combat.
 * Zsetsa was persuaded to join in the "What can you polymorph?" contest, which he reveals he had won previously. He was able to take the crown again this time as a giant crab... whose pincers were snake heads!
 * Cerda Hammer was reunited with Tayshia who had now become a Valkyr. She persuades Cerda to challenge Svava at arm wrestling.
 * Svava is on a string of victories including Illumiknight Auxothea. Both Cerda and Svava rage out and a back and forth of mighty strength is won by Cerda smashing the tree stump in the process! Many cheers and celebration ensued.
 * Dholve Bhaizri is looking for news on Charlie Mandrake, but an even greater inebriated Tyrol is no help. Auxothea has some details for her though.
 * Archmage Serene makes a toast. She also wants to do a round of traditional academic magical tug-o-war. Her hand-picked captains? Archmage Tearlag the Small and Chaya Seto!
 * After deliberations and interactions, they each pick their teams of five...
 * Team Tearlag comprises of: Tearlag, Zsetza, Svava, Liam Whitemane, and Father Tupitsyn Artem Semyonovich.
 * Team Chaya comprises of: Chaya, Cerda, Nohea Noe, Stormcaller Glush, and the eager Researcher Thuddaeck Dimchest (a former tug champ).
 * Dimchest immediately turns to stone as the match begins! Much strength is shown from both sides, Zsetza pulls down marble blocks from the upper dome and animated them, Noe summons the dead, Tearlag pulls out the Mace of Terror... making Chaya and Cerda flee!
 * With the sides imbalanced, a counterspell from Tupitsyn, Tearlags team pulls the stone form of Dimchest over the line for the win.
 * The crowds erupt in cheer and merriment, the magical tug-o-war has completed laughs ring out and congratulations and commiserations are handed out. The celebrations are in full swing.
 * Coming from the direction of the Dawngarde challenge circle there is a disturbance.
 * “Dere be wun more challenge ta be ‘ad!” a strong ice elvish voice rings out.
 * Two figures dressed in regional furs of deep blues and packed in white snow as well as blue tribal paints, hoods up regaled in horns, the hunched figure at the fore, skull over the face, their horns curved back sparking with the occasional flecks of electricity, rings of bones around their necks, the other slightly more stockier one behind larger horns curled forward and a large and mean weapon strapped to their back. The figure in the lead pulls back their hood…
 * Underneath their cloak they have brown leathers a sizable shield, a keen looking blade, pronounced snout with sharp teeth... “Long time no see.” the voice of Sneek Ash-hide rings out.
