Yeah, I've decided not to join in after all.
People seem to object to the idea of a Gray Orc allowed in the contest, so I'll take the RP out.
Besides, I'd hate to crush all your dwarven pride with a great, green fist.

Any contest is rigged when Gray Orcs—the most awesome pwning race on this PW—are not in it.

As the contest raged on...the gray orc sits alone...with his thoughts....
Muahahahahaha. Hope you guys/gals had fun.

Lord Jan winning the first round of the brawl. Those of us who had keen senses, knew the man lying down was faking being beaten!
// Thanks for a great event! I had baaad lag during the brawls, good thing Valge didn't attend. She'd be a no match anyway, unless shifted. Now that would have been something. For another day.
*bashes Hoihe's post underneath* You show off..

// Lord Jan winning the first brawl or when the Kraak Helzak Guards decided to intervene in the second brawl was the biggest highlights for me, was very fun to watch. Despite things being rigged in my favour, I had the worst luck, haha

//For me, the highlight was when the bartender jumped over the bar and got killed trying to attack the contestants. I'll post the winners and donations statements when Assad and I get it all together.
Assad, Sa3rs, and I really appreciate the attendance and all the donations. It was a hoot!

So when he heard that the dwarves of Kraak Helzak organized a drinking and brawl contest, there was nothing that would stop him from taking part.
He, Laisren and Axandros arrived early to the event where they were welcomed by Durgan and Kelburn. The drinks were already set up so they had the time to enjoy a drink or two while discussing about different things. Quickly the arena was packed with contestants and spectators and after a while Durgan and Kelburn announced that the event will begin with the drinking contest.
Mendel was amongst many dwarves but what worried him about this contest was the elf Athalanthliel who seemed to handle her drinks with ease. In the end, much to his surprise Mendel made it till the final round were he was beaten by the female dwarf Matilda. He was carried away by Laisren and Axandros since he was in no condition to walk. Axandros though found a way to make Mendel come quickly to his senses and take part in the brawl.
The brawl started and the first two rounds were for those not too experienced fighters. During those rounds things happened that even made Laisren suggest to Mendel to not take part. Mendel was listening all night long the leader of the dwarves, Starkad, to have fun of the elves so when he saw him prepare to take part in the final round nor Lairsen nor even the Gods could stop him from entering the brawl. There were 6 or 7 contestant but Mendel had eyes only for one - Starkad. Was looking forward to teach him a lesson about elves...
When Kelburn gave the word to begin, Mendel moved towards Starkad. Hoihe got in his way but was quickly put down so the path towards his target was open. Both of them exchanged powerful blows and strangely enough for a dwarf, Starkad blows seemed to expose Mendels weaknesses. The elf on the other hand has studied the way the dwarves fight making his blows so much more lethal. Combined with the raw power that many others wood elves have allowed him to put down Starkad. The fight between them though had exhausted him and had nothing else left for the other contestants. So when the other two who were left standing attacked him, Mendel fell as well. Still though everyone could see a smile on Mendel face and when they were moving out of the arena he asked Starkad what he had to say about the elves now, not expecting an answer of course.
In the end, Mendel has the outmost respect towards those dwarves. With some he had fought with and knows first hand how much skilled fighters they are. That combined with the beautiful event they organized made him donate some money and wished them to have their new guild house build as soon as possible. The Sword Coast needs those dwarves...
