The Rushlight Tournament
War of the River Kings
Every few years, Irovetti, the King of Pitax, summons important guests from all the surrounding kingdoms to participate in the Rushlight tournament. is now the King — which means he's important enough to receive an invitation. Irovetti is a sly dog, and is definitely planning something vile... But that's no reason to miss the celebration!
Objectives
Visit the Rushlight Tournament in Pitax
The tournament will take place in Pitax, on the shores of Rushlight Lake. In fact, that's actually where it gets its name! But let us hurry! I heard they're serving especially delicious wines this year!
The tournament is about to begin — we'd better hurry!
Participate in the first contest of the Tournament
The first contest will be the fishing triathlon — an entertainment that honors the folk handicrafts of the River Kingdoms.
In order to join the competition, we should talk to the master of ceremonies, Nunzio Arpaia.
Participate in the second contest of the Tournament
The tournament continues with a boasting contest. It doesn't really matter if you have something to boast about. The main goal is to make your story sound super exciting, so the crowd wants to hear your tales over everyone else's!
The first victory is ours! Two more to go!
We have lost the first contest, but not the tournament!

Participate in the third contest of the Tournament
The first two contests change from year to year, but the final one has been the same since the very first Rushlight tournament: the traditional drunken melee. After getting drunk, the participants, armed with blunt weapons, fight in the mud until there's only one left standing!
Darn it all! We've lost twice. Now we can't win the tournament — but we can still put on a good show!
We have one victory and one loss. The whole tournament hangs on the final contest!
We've already won twice! Time to make our triumph flawless!

Learn the results of the Tournament
The contests draw to a close as evening falls. We only have to wait until King Irovetti declares the winner — and then it's time for the banquet!
King Irovetti is about to give a speech before all the guests. — Let's hear what he has to say!
Wait for the news to come
The tournament is over. King Irovetti wasn't very friendly, but overall everything was settled peacefully. Perhaps this invitation wasn't a dirty trick after all... No! I can't believe that! There must be some kind of catch — or it wouldn't be Irovetti! I think we'll be hearing some news from Pitax in the near future.
This was a disaster! We lost every contest. Well... Like the saying goes, it's not about winning, but taking part!
Drats! We've lost the tournament. — But at least we claimed one victory!
We won two contests out of three. We could have done better, but it's still a victory!
We won every contest. A flawless victory!
