Yule Grant Challenge for Old Market

[Death Knell]

A piece of parchment was attached to the corkboard with a bone needle, its contents written in a stilted scrawl with several blots, with a challenge grant pinned behind it:

Caleb
You blead good and you stuck me good. Lets do it agyn.
This peass of paper lets me challon challenge for your baryny.
I challenge.
Ettyn Gedda

The parchment was there, and there was still plenty of it left after her scrawl. Why not use it?

Name the time and place.
Hell, I'm ready now.
Bring it.

[Death Knell]

Rather than waste paper, Ettyn started writing in the margins:

Wynsday at 8.
The sorserrer Mart will call.

((Wednesday at 8 ET!))

[Mart]

The challenge tonight was destined to be a quick one, with the Baron opting for a single match to decide the new holder of Old Market’s Ring, and Ettyn was more than happy to oblige him! Most of the duel was spent in a mirrored climb as each met the other with the same moves, until they began to climb up one and then the other!

Finally, in a pair of decisive rounds, Ettyn took the lead into match-point in the eighth round, and sealed her victory with a headbutt, of all things! Well won, Ettyn Gedda! And well-reigned, Caleb Feren!

Sometime after she'd gotten done changing, the slayer scribbled a word on Mart's notes, struck through it, and tried a couple more times:

fyfful loyelle loil

She probably meant loyal.

[Andrea Anderson]

A package would arrive at the Old Market Barony manor late Sunday night. Attached to it is a note that reads,

Rougeblossom Greatsword
- Andrea

When used the greatsword will "Bloom" and create a fiery after-image of the blade to take shape for a secondary strike. After two successful strikes it will glow red hot — causing the third strike after to unleash an explosion of flames upon impact.
