## Session Notes

* After Chaya Seto returns to the group sitting around the pit, they are also joined by Maglon and Elisen Herfina, who congratulates her on her win, and expresses envy of her abilities.
* The first match of the team tournament begins!
* *Team:Notorious* are first to emerge out into the fight pit to a huge ovation.
* Their leader Johnny Stardom is out front exchanging the adulation.
* To one side is a goliath of a man, Frankie Fiction, wielding a sledgehammer.
* To the other is... Riphi?!
* From behind, Cerda Hammer and Tyrol Gravehearth are pushed apart as the real Riphi launches forward! “*I know it’s you, you insufferable piece of shit! I told you before about copying me and what I’d do to you, asshole!! Drop it right now or I’ll come down there and make you!!!*”
* The façade is dropped with Default revealing his neutral form, sniggering into his open palm.
* *Deez Animals* make their way out next.
* The dingo canisian Treats Tsugahara leads the way.
* A smaller figure behind him is the hamstian Pouches Koto.
* Flying above them is their leader, the butterfly insectian, Brightwing Dee.
* As the fight begins Treats clashes with Stardom, but the latter is too elusive.
* Dee is able to send Default (and some of the crowd) into a slumber, but the raging Fiction counteracts her enchantments.
* Pouches unleashed his swarm of butterflies.
* The Notorious, as picked up by Sneek Ash-hide watching in the crowd, had done their homework, and start grinding down their opponents, one by one.
* Dee is downed by the strength of Fiction and sneak attacks from Default.
* Stardom keeps Treats chasing him until it is too late.
* Pouches is left alone and surrounded, before Team:Notorious takes the victory.
* The Team takes its lap of victory as the crowd erupts in response.
* The pseudodragon arrives to the call Cerda, Sneek, and "*Twinkle Toes*" to the next match.
* *Carnifex in Victus* are out first, a unified team in romanic style armour.
* The armour-clad Kaeso Lusius Lucullus leads his team into the pit. A skull front shaped in metal at the front of his helmet.
* The covered form carrying a trident and net is the range Avita Indaletia.
* Behind them breathing flames as she moves is the elf Chalia Fatoris.
* The team of Cerda, Sneek, and Tyrol enter next. Sneek draws the Flametongue and lights it up and he emerges out of the darkness.
* A missed net throw to start from Avita and the in Victus team groups up.
* However they are unable to guard Chalia as the group surrounds and relentless carves into the elf fire bard. She soon drops to a "*cartwheel*" kick from Tyrol.
* Like sharks in the water, and with Kaeso stunned, they swarm onto Avita. With the now LARGE Sneek attacking her with a flaming sword she goes into a panic, and is downed before she can retreat.
* Kaeso now having a three on one disadvantage mounts an admirable show of resilience, surviving a round of attacks from all three opponents, but when one of his attacks is deflected by Sneek critically into one of his downed comrades, his will broken, he is lifted off his feet and downed.
* Winners, Team H/A/T!!!
* Medics rush out to tend to Avita, Carnifex in Victus huddle up to comfort each other from the defeat. Cerda helps stabilise Avita.
* Sneek back to his normal size, congratulates on a good fight. Kaeso stands and holds out his hand. They shake and the crowd reacts strongly to this sign of honour.
* While all of this is going on, Tearlag Gravehearth senses an ethereal thread pulling her towards the outskirts of the arena.
* She sees and follows a bright white ethereal lion. It leads he to the very top of the coliseum... where the thread suddenly ends.
* Tearlag sees Brightwing Dee sitting on the edge with a nice picnic space set up.
* She gives Tearlag a warm smile and says: “*Don’t be a stranger, a mutual acquaintance wanted us to meet.*”
