A fun night at the pits for everyone. Plenty of broken noses, black eyes, dislocated limbs and lost teeth. Money changed hands, beer was guzzled, laughs were had.
At the end of the night, Daisari fought like a marvel but could not beat the champ. Not that most people even cared, they demolished the ring and several rows of seats getting that far. The little capra was like the fist of an angry god. She will make a fine addition to the Cavalry.
But now, greater tasks lie ahead of you.
Patches has been keeping her ears open, and worrying news has reached them - when you spared the old Masque troupe, they did what you wanted: spread word of your coming. This got you some fame and attention, but that is not always a good thing. Lately, the Black Skull gang had had their leaders killed and their hideouts burned. The culprit was no secret, the gold coins left in their neck stumps were a well known calling card.
The Golden Dragons had come to town, and they were looking to expand.
Furthermore, you were still no closer to freeing Sir Ragamont from Dead Man Headland, nor had you made any progress towards shortening Crunchy's hit list.
Time to get serious.

>>16809>>16808Patches falls on the floor, coughing and clawing at her face. She then falls silent and deadly serious for a moment, before shedding a couple of tears and throwing up on the floor.
She whimpers something and then shakily stands up.
"I… I need to be alone right now I…
…don't… make a mess… ok?"
She walks off, wiping her eyes and retreats to her room backstage.
The drakin captive stays standing there, oblivious but terrified.

>>16812"Oh yeah? Well before we went out into town I was able to chop a guys arm off. Did a neat little flip before landing too."
>>16813>>16811Logan watches a bit before glaring at Fancypants. He then walks up to him, taking the glass bottle and trying to smash it onto his head.

No.16824
>>16816>>16822You end up in a brawl on the floor, but after a few broken bottles and a rip in the couch, you give it a rest.
On a side note, you did realize that alcohol quickly cuts the effects of Dragon Dust. Fancypants is starting to sober up.

"Fuck sugar. Just water. Cold. I need to clear my head."

"REALLY did not need that.
What's with the drakin?"

"Should I be?"
Strong build. Can probably take flight quickly. Scales peeled off right arm, which was tattooed over.
His wing limps a bit, it may be fractured or recently dislocated.
