<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">Exiting the tavern you gather your supplies and gear within a "short" period of time and meet once more on the road in the middle of Bishan. People have gathered into small groups of lightly armored people armed with clubs or slings and some with bows. Many of them look like they barely know how to hold a weapon as they laugh at one another and head towards the enterance of Bishan to leave. A group of about 25 people stand in a cluster blocking your view as you hear the sounds of steel striking steel and the sharp yhelps of pain near the enterance of Bishan. Getting closer you see a badly beaten man holding a shortsword looking at an Elf with exquisted elven crafted breastplate holding a gem set scimitar in his right. The elfs blonde hair is tied up in a ponytail as his eyes glitter with amusment as he advances on the human. A few swift strokes and the human is knocked aside and picked up by his fellows. "He will not live outside of the walls of Bishan. Take him back to the inn and enjoy your gift from the merchant. Others here are waiting to leave." the elf says calmly as another person walks up to face him. A few brief exchanges and the elf steps to one side and motions for the person to leave. "Best of luck and may the gods watch over you and your fellows." the elf says as the man and a few of his companions head out. <br/><br/>It seems that this elf is a gate keeper. Behind him are other groups of elves testing other areas of skill. Ranging from minor magics to abilities of stealth and concealment. Off to the side a few clerics of various faiths tend to the weak and beaten for minor coin. One cleric in particular holds only a light mace, a buckler off to his side and a few boxes of bolts. His looks are what draw your eye as he tends to another broken man and haggles with a nearby merchant for services rendered to heal such a man. Clearly the merchant is furious but the cleric will not touch the man until some coin is given. A few amusing moments later the merchant hands him a pouch and piece of paper similar to the ones you have. With a few gestures the man on the ground awakens and the merchant grabs him and pulls him away. <br/><br/>The cleric is young but not unskilled in his practice. A clear assest to any group as other warriors and groups grab a cleric here and their. Leaving this one alone to tend to the wounded. A closer look shows why he is overlooked. His body lacks a normal mans strength. Toned as he is he is weak. But when did strength factor into ones faith? A test to pass and an assest to gain best prepare for the outcomes. </span><br/><br/><strong>General Summary:</strong>In case their is any confusion the following tasks need to be met. Each PC has a particular set of skills needed to push out of Bishan and they need to show these gatekeepers they can do it. How is based on each of your key skills. Since I don't want to spend to much time on it I require three simple rolls based on your prime abilities so add your atk bonus, skills, feats in any way to show that you can make it pass the gatekeepers test. Then of course post what you are doing. Impressing the gatekeepers can bring minor rewards.<br/><br/>New idea: Go to OOC
