== Plot Summary ==
Euphemia, Avarice (and her two dragons Penny and Malum) and Rufus find themselves a long train ride away to a far off city in the desert called Mausil. A city of dry dusty air, inconsequential but majorly important street vendor interactions… and a tournament of combat! The three guildmates have made their way to the city to compete in a local tournament, the promise of gold and excitement on the horizon. Unfortunately for Rufus, it requires another train ride to get there. So Avarice, being the kind soul that she is and definitely not evil; lets one of her dragons, Penny, soothe Rufus on the long voyage.
Upon arriving in town they do what any heroes would do and immediately assault a random water vendor. After a traumatizing conversation they start to make their way through the town toward the large coliseum. Euphemia, being a insect control specialist decides to spray a random flour merchant’s supply of flour with poison to get rid of weevils. Whether or not it works we’ll never know but the important thing is the three “heroes” walk away with bags full of poisonous and explosive flour! Fun for all ages.
Upon arriving at the arena, the team sign up to compete in the tournament under the team name Sworn to be Wild. However, Euphemia decides to sneak in as a contract worker instead of on the team. So naturally, Rufus exclaims that they have a third member on the team who is a pet rock, also named Euphemia.
Once through the party splits up immediately and each go to different locations. Rufus heads into the Fighter Lockers and gets a first hand look at their opponents. There he meets a very tough Thueban Al’Afeaa, the champion of the tournament and crowd favorite, though Rufus instantly does not like the man. Euphemia, being an insect control specialist makes her way up to the roof rafters in the arena. There, where canvas covers the opening in the roof, she has found a worth advisary. Clothes Moths! Also a necessary vantage point above the fighting pits where she can strategically drop rocks at key points in the fight, while staying out of sight. Avarice and Malum make their way to the under-arena, where the discarded and bloody corpses of past contestants go. There she decides to lay in wait and prepare for an ultimate and bloody entrance to the fight. Meanwhile Penny is launched in to the air to give Ava a vantage point of the battlefield.
After some time, Sworn to be Wild is called out to the floor to face off against Thueban. Rufus struggles against the man at first both in combat and in banter; but lunkily for him, Avarice and her dragons appear and save the day. Better at one liners and with a grown Malum dragon, they wreak havoc on the champion. A tough fight ensues and Thueban gains the upper hand again, but before Rufus can be struck down, Euphemia, far above in the rafters, turns the tide of battle… with a rock!
The audience believe this to be the pet rock and go wild with admiration! After slaughtering generations of clothes moths and helping her team win the tournament, Euphemia the person, makes her way down and joins with her team. But did she kill all the cloths moths? Or did one lone survivor witness the deaths of his family only to don a cloak and swear to uphold a vow against crime? Only time will tell.
The three reign as victors of the arena, and before they make their way back to Niqamui, Rufus strikes up a deal to keep some of the royalties for pet rock merchandise for the team. Penny hops on Rufus again and uses her therapeutic powers of a death stare to keep him calm for the train ride home.
Honestly this was one of the most chaotic and fun episodes, it's hard to put all of the shenanigans into one summary...
