CR Cragsand S2E2: Thunderdome Arena

===Chapter 2 - Thunderdome Arena===
====Delivering to the Mayor====
Sten opens the blacksmithing shop when Scootz rolls in commenting about Stens weird habit of talking to himself, asking about his weapon order. Sten incredulously comments about the Mayor requesting gold engraving on his firearm is unrealistic, exasperatingly questioning the air if they look like they have gold here.
Ash and Ryzy enter asking about patches, they have an order for her protection and requested some materials. Anthony comes carrying a water delivery that he puts down at the smithing shop. Patches stops in and they discuss the order queue, deciding to push the Mayor to the top of delivery and Sten goes out to deliver the firearm. Remembering his previous encounter with the Mayor Sten hails him with various titles but gets corrected until he calls him "King sir Mayor Rico" with extra roll on the R:s. Sucking up and pandering to the mayors pride the lack of any gold plating is forgiven and the mayor seems content with what he's been delivered.
====The Upcoming Fight====
The Nameless knight comes clanking back to the blacksmithing shop with Proximo and Hark in tow, apparently he is to fight in the inauguration opening event in the arena and needs someone to bang out his dented plates. Patches goes to work, testing him on the anvil, apparently the unnamed knight doesn't feel any pain. He is given a weapon in the upcoming fight in the form of a knife. Flourishing the knife around wildly the knight after some prodding eventually pays up enough credits for the services. When asked who he is the knight doesn't have any name but recounts being called words like "tin can", "metal man", "potted pants" and his favorite - "c---", but preferred to just be called "unknown".
Ash and Ryzy asks about producing a piece of armor, which would take at least 2 days, as well as a helmet. Asked about getting advanced vision by using the crystals they found but that would be more in the cybernetic shops line of work. 
Hark and Proximo storms into the shop introducing themselves as representing the glorious Thunderdome and offers an invitation to watch and bet in the inaugural restoration fight today. The first fight after reconstructing the glorious dome Proximo advertises only 100 credits to attend, promising the finest and best time ever impossible to miss. Feeling himself backed into a corner Sten accepts right away and agrees to spread the word around. Expecting the knight to get his head ripped off Proximo pay up beforehand for the future repairs he will be needed at the smithy. 
The bookkeeper Frankie Scaletta tries to convince Sten to bet in the fight, promising that he had it on good authority that the goblin Ryzy would be throwing the fight, contrary to what Proximo mentioned previously and although faced with the imposing presence of Bill he makes the better judgement not to place any bets at all,
====The Thunderdome Inauguration battle====
Stopping by to witness the arena fight Sten meets Johnny the Taxi, Ryder the garage owner, Desmond and Xia the courier from the row up top and introduces himself and the blacksmithing shop. 
The fight is presented by Proximo announces the warriors "who will find glory and death today", "the miniscule, the menacing, the meticulous Ryzy!, to his left the tincan of pain, the metalman of malice..." The event is a weird event where Jyggal the restaurant owner attempts to sell drinks at an insanely overpriced 15k credits per drink but for free for everyone who places bets to Frankie. Sten opts out and declines. 
Shiloh Down crawls up asking for assistance to get up to watch the match, having broken both his legs and gotten splints, not having a chair available he had crawled all the way to watch at the dome and Sten offers him his arm, pulling him up to get a good viewing position. 
 
The fight is commenced and ends almost as soon as it starts, Ryzy did a first round knockout. Proximo yelling out if someone can help get the unknown knight loose, Sten offers his plasma cutter but gets dismissed, Ront is already there to provide hospital services. The knight doesn't seem to need assistance though. Sten approaches the Mayors crew who lost 5k, asking if they lost their money they said the bet on the winner but apparently got ripped off with the book keeper taking off with everyones bettings although they won. Seems that it was a good idea to not bet in this. Ryzy the goblin ran off intending to catch the book keeper, and beat him up and collect their winnings.... quite a mess.
====The fight aftermath====
Sten curious about the aftermath of the spectacle shadows the angry mob chasing after the book-keeper Frankie and Bill. Apparently Ryzy grabbed all that she could, running of with the credit chits aside from the ones that Bill managed to swallow in order to try and hide the winnings. Both Priximo and Hark are nowhere to be seen. McCuldger possibly feeling guilt from helping to organize the event manages to recover much of the winnings and goes through Scrap Town, returning the credits to their proper owners as well as he can. To Sten it seems like the only honorable man in the thunderdome is McCuldger, the grim looking but very dutiful junkyard owner. Not only that but Culdger also offers some credits and scrap to support the construction of some proper railings for the walkway bridges of scrap town, seeing as a lot of inhabitants tend to accidentally fall off from them.
Sten goes to deliver the ordered firearm to Mercury and Mr. Prowler who are satisfied with the delivery.
====Lost Synth and Atlantis Corp curiosities====
Greeting Sheila again she is injured and have been looking after an orb drone named Paprika. Tasked to count every single grain of sand in the wasteland Sten ponders that the synthetic must belong to someone who takes pleasure in tormenting the poor robot. Sten goes off to get some medical assistance to look after Sheila, finds Bean Kagehide and C3-burn who help move her to the hospital. 
Before retiring for the night Sten spots some white clad corporate looking fellows following Anthony to his apartment. Being something as rare as a runesmith, he wonders what they could possibly want with him and tries to shadow them. Sneaking around he is eventually caught, turning around a corner he comes face-to-face with an Atlantis corporate trooper and gives up the tail. He learns the name of the corporate character being one Lady Shinohara.Twitch VOD: Callous Row RP S2 E2 - Arena Thunderdome
