You've noticed throughout the week that these posters have been appearing at almost random throughout Hlint. It your travels about Mistone you're noticing more and more, almost as though they're blossoming from the very inns and merchant halls in which they're placed. It' written in a professional print which were made by a very skillful scribe.
"The CONTEST OF ARMS" Warriors from all around, you are officially invited to test your mettle against others of your kind and skill in Mistone's first Contest of Arms! Hosted by Key and company at the Fort Velensk Arena, you will be put up against your equals until only one is able to rise above and claim the title as the greatest warrior of Mistone. Who will it be? Are you prepared for such a challenge? If the honor of knowing you're the best is not enough, each winner of the four divisions will be given three fourths of the entry fees for his division! Even if you're a warrior come and watch the display of skill on the third wednesday of this month, starting at the eighth hour past noon. Rules, Practices, and Entry Entry: To enter is simple! Just provide Key with your name, profession, and depth of your ability with your entry fee. You will then be paired with an equal match to begin with, and the winners of each of the beginning matches will then be paired against the most equal of the winners until only one remains in the standings!
Rules and Practices: <UL> The fight begins only when the overseer annouces it, not before. In the case of a spellcaster you must wait until the fight begins to start casting.
Any combatant may end the fight they are currently in for fear of harm, or any other reason. However, this counts as a loss on their part and they are removed from the standings.
Fights are to be kept only within the arena, any assaults outside of a sanctioned fight will result in immediate removal. You will not be refunded your entry fee.
There is only one winner for each division, and all of the winnings go to them. There is no second place when it comes to champions.
