### **Premise**

There is a huge music competition going on for musicians of renown. Ivellios Presley can join because of this amazing performance at Tema's Rest.

### **NPC participants**

* JUDGE Simon Cowgood (human, black hair, overly tight white shirt and blue pants)
* Stung and the City Watch (Don't sit so far from me)
* Airships! (Stone mudcrab!)
* Kenneth Logger (Long road to the dangerous place)

### **Rules**

* 150gp buy in.
* Possibly use this rulesheet. Or use the below stuff..

**ONE on ONE duels**

A player can incite a 1v1 duel.

The contestants both start with 20 hit points -- it should be noted that these are separate from their physical health and no injury is sustained in the duel -- and their AC is equal to 10 + their Charisma modifier. The winner of the duel is whoever reduces their opponent’s HP to zero first.

* **Melody**. Make an attack roll using Dexterity (representing timing and precision) - and applying your proficiency bonus if you are proficient in the instrument you are using - against the opponent’s AC. On a hit, they take damage equal to 1d6 + your Dexterity modifier.
* **Harmony**. If you are equipped with two instruments that can be played simultaneously, such as a lute and your singing voice, you can make one attack with each, as per the melody action. However, both of these attacks have disadvantage.
* **Chorus**. You play a simple, resounding motif that deals no damage to your opponent but restores your will to fight. You regain 1d4 hit points.
* **Re-tune**. You quickly recalibrate your instrument. You have advantage on the next two attack rolls you make with it.
* **Distract**. You play a discordant mess to confuse your opponent. Their next two attacks have disadvantage.
* **Cast a Spell**. You cast a spell. Contestants in a duel are immune to all damage from spells cast by their opponent, except for psychic and thunder damage.
