Detailed NarrativeThe second Tournament of Stars is Starfall's most ambitious event. Thomas Hoss is the proud MC and co-sponsor alongside Bethany Fey (who is peeved that Hoss is upstaging her). Notable attendees include Racheal Glass, Grakar the Bull (briefly, honored by the invitation), Alam Sildwell (meeting with a Black Cabal contact), Puppet (agility course, further building Starfall rapport), Clair Greenwell and Charlie Bellows from Gatester, and Giana the Bold. The Statue of Loyd has just been completed. Cody James, the prodigy builder, is now running YukYuk's lab. The raffle includes an Elvish Plasma Rifle, Cask of Elvish Wine, Magic Tattoo, Holy Mace, Prototype Bot, and Tinkersville Streetmap. Fudasfinspal attends. Day 1 social events include Loyd partying and sleeping with Kali the Firedancer — this sends Clarissa into jealous silence that persists for sessions afterward. Racheal Glass delivers chilling lore: the plague in the north is spreading south soon, all the dead are flowing to the far northwest building a kingdom, the orcish war threatens to spill into the wider region, and she has been collecting stories about relics tied to marked individuals. Contest outcomes: Sled Race — Fudasfinspal and Mac tie for first (500 gp and 1,000 gp prizes). Reveler's Gauntlet — Fey first, Loyd second, Griva/Mac third. Archery — Giana the Bold first (1,000 gp), Fey second (500 gp), Mac/Griva third (250 gp). Oratory — Loyd becomes 2x champion (500 gp). Obstacle Course — Puppet first (500 gp), Griva second (250 gp). Melee Brawl — Grakar the Bull first (2,500 gp), Anton Galund second (1,000 gp), Mac third (500 gp). Mac declared 2x overall tournament champion. Ongoing perception checks could detect WARD investigators from the GRE and Black Cabal forward scouts during the event.
SummaryStarfall hosts its second and grandest Tournament of Stars, with Thomas Hoss as MC and sponsor. Six contest events are held: Sled Race (Mac and Fudasfinspal tie for first), Reveler's Gauntlet (Fey wins, Loyd second), Archery (Giana the Bold first, Fey second), Oratory (Loyd wins for the second time), Obstacle Course (Puppet first, Griva second), and Melee Brawl (Grakar the Bull first, Anton Galund second, Mac third). Mac is declared the 2x tournament champion. Loyd sleeps with Kali the Firedancer, infuriating Clarissa Tomes. Racheal Glass delivers ominous lore. Sessions 21-22.
