Everyone takes a grip on the well worn rope, with Ruby and Rodrik at the front of their respective sides, and on a signal from Halgra you all start pulling. Your team gets a quick drop on the militia, pulling them off balance, but overall they are stronger. Sweating hard, they pull the rope back over to their side, bit by bit. Your enthusiasm and drive rally as much as they can, but this is a losing battle... until Rodrik's grip slips.<br/><br/>Suddenly, the militia is yanked forward and the rest of the town piles in on Ruby's side of the rope, overwhelming the brothers and heaving them to the ground. The crowd gathers around Ruby, hoisting her up onto their shoulders and chanting her name. Rodrik picks himself up off the ground, laughing mightily and boldly proclaims, "To our newest hero and champion! To Lucy!"<br/><br/>While most of the attention is focused on the young lady, you encounter hearty claps on the back and broad smiles as well. May congratulate you on your part in the victory and for your vibrant enthusiasm in making Ruby feel like a hero. You see many expressions directed your way... glee, awe, joy, pride, even arousal... but none of them are dark or sour. Soon the smell of roasting food meets the sounds of crackling fires, whispered gossip, and clanging pints as Ruby is given the place of honour at the feast in her name.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OCC</div><div class="spoiler_body">So, unlike the majority of APs, you actually have a solid chance to mingle with the towns folk, celebrating and partying. There is one major RP scene I need to establish, but if you'd like your characters to participate in a festival until then, now is your chance. Until you are ready to move on, eat, drink and be merry!</div></div>
