In the Bar
"Tomorrow," he tells Zinxi. "Today is the party, everyone's arrivals. Solo contestants get sorted into the required four person teams. Then the games begin tomorrow. First are tests of skills and ability, which is scored, team scores too low are eliminated. Then the first round of the tournament, single elimination of course. Then a test of martial and magical skill and the next round of the tournament. By then there will only be two teams left, who will fight it out in a fight on the third day."
He winks when Eurydice asks "The Cayden Cailean," but shakes his head when she asks about apprentices. "No, not quite. Though many of the Tianna have become apprentices and protege's before. It is not the same as direct service, there have been those who have won the tournament and accepted no one's invitation, though it is very rare and they are a hotly controversial bunch who make as many enemies as they do admirers. You snub as many as you impress that way, as rogue champions without identifiable allegiances are, understandably, dangerous." Cayden doesn't seem to have the same sense of understanding as one would have hoped in regards to Eurydice's wink. "There was an object of gold at your gate, that was the key. Those unworthy would have been overcome by its touch and the gate would not have opened, and once opened, those unworthy wouldn't have beeb able to pass through. I know Obad-Hai is coming, as is Ptah, Gorum, Norgorber, and Pelor. But if what you're saying is true, you've somehow brought Sarenrae and Asmodeus when they weren't planning to be here - who knows who will show up."

Cayden shrugs at Jarmuld's question, "Because everyone wants the games to continue. Everyone benefits, plus we've all seen enough conflict to know no one comes out of all-out warfare better than when they started. We do most of our fighting with each other on the disc through mortals. It's safer that way. Also, the nature of the stadium, no one has to see each other to get to their respective theaters. For many, if they don't choose to, it's almost as if they've come to spectate alone."

Cayden takes the compliment with clear recognition, and the sense he never gets sick of hearing them. "There is drinking and mingling, mostly. Appraising the competition. Getting settled into your accommodations, though you won't get your key until later. Fighting, arm wrestling, cursing and the like are prohibited, of course. Nothing which would compromise someone's ability to compete." Though not entirely unexpected, as everyone is eyeballing everyone to some degree, the group does have a number of eyes on them. As they conversed a few individuals and groups come in. Most recently, the man in the armor who called off the motley crew which accosted them at the portal walks in, alone.

Eurydice's memory is jogged of two things at once, first the sword and the stone made of solid gold at the fair, which Jarmuld gripped and caused the portal to open which brought them here. She is also reminded, from the same incident, of the gang of powerful adversaries which attempted to block them from entering the portal and were chased away when Zinxi transformed into a great dragon and caused more attention than they seem to have wanted to attract. The man who entered, wearing well crafted full plate, is the same man who appeared to have been in charge of their ambushers, the one who urged them not to enter the portal, and the one who dismissed the gang and let them be. As he glances around the room he makes eye contact with Eurydice and her companions clustered around Cayden at the bar. He holds her gaze for a moment before with a very slight smile, he breaks contact and crosses the room to a table where a handful of those who accosted them at the fair are already seated. They are at a fairly large table with many chairs, though they only take up four of the seats.

As Zinxi approaches the armored man kicks out the nearest chair for her, clearly expecting them to approach. "Long time no see." He tells her as she approaches, "No hard feelings, I hope."
