A Baer in the Village

The three Barbarians had left their home. They had stayed in the Border Kingdoms. The Seldaan Village has a permanent Dirt Arena. This where they decided to further their quest for fame.

Baer looked on the Dark Elf with a little awe and nervousness. He had very little dealings with the different races. The Dark Elf was wearing armor and carried a spear. He appeared weaker than Baer. Wulf always reminded Baer that strength wasn't the only thing needed to win in the Arena.

Baer wondered what Hathar Dark Elf excelled in. Was it Speed or Savvy?

Baer stood next to Hathar to pledge the Gladiator's oath to the Arena's Patron.

Both men march to the heart of the Arena.

Baer attacks head on but is Hathar counterstrikes. Hathar forces Baer back by striking him in the chest with spear. Hathar does not followup on his strike. Baer body is a hard as nails and he refused to fall down. He catches his breath instead.

Hather attacks head on but is fought to a stand off. Baer catches his breathe.

Baer attacks head on. Hathar parried his blow with his spear. Baer whipped his battle axe around his head and brought it down with renewed force. Baer struck Hathar in the chest with a killing stroke.

Baer raised his battle axe over his head. His Strength had prevailed. He smiled as the audience cheered. He gained Fame and Talos. He had bet all he had on himself. Nothing felt better than moving quickly down the road of Fame and Fortune.
