The tournament continued with a boasting contest. The first participant, a man from Daggermark, stepped up to the podium and told a raunchy story about him sneaking into a temple of Calistria and seducing all the priestesses — including the high priestess — in a single night. The crowd was particularly amused by the suggestive glances he kept casting toward one of the guests from Tymon. She simply smiled mysteriously in response. The second participant was a guest from Gralton, who told a completely implausible tale about his travels across other planes, where he battled undead hordes and defeated a bloodcurdling monster. He was an average storyteller at best — he'd be lucky to get a C for that story at the Academy — but the listeners were inexplicably elated. Suspicious, we took a closer look at the crowd, and... Of course! We spotted a bard using some tricks of the trade (and likely a little magic) to aid the Gralton man's performance!
