Faces to Watch Out for

"Time for lunch."

The four of you head out into the city streets in search of somewhere to eat.

You find a sports bar/restuarant by the name of "Rizzorpi's", and enter inside.

A small television in the corner gives a news update on tomorrow's Festival of Tournaments.

"Faces to be watching out for," the smiling newscaster says, "will be last year's Men's Middleweight fighting champion, Y'Tar Gergerglock." A full-body picture of a young man with crimson skin appears on the screen. "Y'Tar eliminated his three opponents within less than three minutes TOTAL, and plans to do so again this year!"

"Middleweight is your division, isn't it?" Blackfire asks you.

"Yeah, it is."

The four of you take a seat at a table near the television, and listen as the three-legged waiter brings you menus.

"Rumor also has it that Y'Tar's sisters, V'Bar and V'Mar, will be competing in the Women's G'quopa weight tournament this year."

Pictures of V'Bar and V'Mar appear on screen.

"Saffire!" Blackfire whispers urgently. "Those are the girls who were with that big blue guy. They were the ones who came after us because you beat up that stone skinned guy from TS1!"

You can't believe it.

"The Gergerglocks are with TS1?!" you whisper. "But they couldn't have known we'd be here, right?"

"No, I don't think so," Flashfire says. "But I'm lucky to be in the one division that doesn't have a TS1 member in it."

"Great, so two of our possible opponents are deadly criminals?" Nuh says to Blackfire, a little panicked.

"Don't worry, those two were push-overs when I faced them," Blackfire says.

"But they could still be stronger than me!" Nuh whimpers.

"Don't worry," Flashfire says, patting Nuh's shoulder. "They aren't allowed to kill you."

"That doesn't help as much as you'd think," Nuh says.

The four of you do your best to calm down, and you tell the waiter your orders. Ten minutes later, the food arrives, and you eat quietly as the television talks about the other sports.

After lunch, the four of you head back out into the streets, and head back to the hotel.

Halfway there, someone comes running out of nowhere and runs right into the girls.
