Collateral Damage - C1E156 Ancient History
We pick back up with the party’s exhibition matches. While the rogues had matches that went as expected, they were not without their moments of surprise from each of them. The fight that left everyone on the edge of their seats was between The Champion of Bahamut & The Gathakanathi General. While Galahad dominated the first part of this fight, putting all the combat experience he’s had thus far to use, Tharia managed to fight back and overwhelm the paladin. With the match approaching its end, Galahad summons the power of Kanna’s Fury and secures the win for himself. Respect and admiration are given to both warriors, and they acknowledge each other’s abilities in combat. Then, the celebrations continue as Galahad does an expected but impressive display of drinking. The group are all enjoying themselves and letting loose; one person in particular is Shanks, who we find performing a remarkable bit of drinking himself later. While not what Galahad displayed, it was close and caused the crowd to erupt again in celebration. As Shanks makes his rounds, somehow Zechs gets pulled into showing off his drinking prowess and does exceedingly well, to everyone’s surprise, except for the party. Zechs even manages to outdrink Galahad by a bit, which seems to put everyone, especially Galahad, in an uproar.
Not too much later, Shanks decides to check in with Greyleaf and have a hilarious exchange about whether Greyleaf reports back to Mr. Bell and Greyleaf offering a gold coin to Shanks if he can chug the pint glass in his hand. Shanks then asks if he could set up a meeting between him and Rig. Shanks informs him that he wants to give her an answer to a question she asked but, unfortunately, was never able to provide it due to the circumstances at the time. He assures Greyleaf there is no reason to be concerned, and Greyleaf tells Shanks that he will relay the message but leave it up to Rig to decide what to do after that. A joke is eventually made about them likely having to carry Zechs or Galahad, and Greyleaf and Shanks inform him that he’s more concerned with Glad. He informs Greyleaf about the argument with her patron. Shanks worries about how that may affect her abilities from now on, and she has yet to speak to the group about it. Greyleaf speaks about the gods and their intentions but suggests that they like to play with them, mess with their emotions, and use them as pawns, sometimes with false faces. Shanks replies that a god doesn’t have to tell them who she is. Greyleaf suggests that she is less of a pawn and more of something the gods fear, which could be why they have messed with her the most. While Shanks doesn’t want to see her get caught in collateral damage, Greyleaf informs Shanks that they are more than their namesake suggests, and pawns hold more power on the chessboard than most people realize. Greyleaf will talk to Glad later, but now it’s time to sit back and relax.
There's so much happening, and that's where we pick up…
