Scanning the stands for any sign of Liliane, Rychard steps up to the ring. Not as strong as his fellow competitors, he makes up for it somewhat in litheness, managing to hold his own.

"Watch me show these kids how it's done, eh, Marten?" Kevith laughed and slapped Marten's shoulder as he got ready for his turn. The large man pulled off his shirt, showing off his hardened and scarred body that was easily the largest on display in the contest so far.

And boy, did he put those ripped muscles to good use, and Kevith shouted triumphantly for House Tremaine!

+2, +2, +2, +2, +3 = 11 Grapple Points!

Marten watched as Kevith performed his feats of strength.

Looking around, he sighed. "Well." He said. "I suppose I should show everyone that I can. Hate to follow that, though." Rising, he too made his way to the ring.

He was a bit more slender than many of the combatants, the stockiness of age only just beginning to set in. He managed respectably, not the best showing, but steady, at least.

Wrasslin'! Athletics(strength), 5 times: 5#5d6k3 13 14 13 14 13 - 5 points

Harben was careful not to look up into the stands, and especially not to the Lord's box as he approached the ring. Somewhere in the middle of one of his bouts, the drizzling rain briefly burst into a shower and he lost his grip, finding himself caught in a leg-lock and forced to concede the point. He left the ring disappointed, but at least he'd been consistent.

Wrestling isn't Caim's event, with his shoulder being a problem, and by the end of the event, he's visibly in pain, though he brushes off any attempt at help.

-1

Stone wasn't much for wrestling. The stories that he'd wrestled a cougar were just silly, at least in the literal context. However, at some point he had decided to try his hand in any of these contests. Maybe, it was the excitement of it. Maybe, it was to catch someone's eye.

He was tossed around a lot, but Terrance was pleased he did as well as he did.
