Tuning Up, Mvt. I

From Podpedia

The bards find excitement at the Punch Bowl. Then, after a small journey, discover something magical and musical.

Plot[edit | edit source]

The group decides to go a round in the Punch Bowl before heading out with Wesley in the morning. They pause on the way to play a couple more songs and get a bite to eat, then watch as a tougher group of patrons starts to enter.

They enter the fighting area, where they introduced themselves as "Conrad Pu and the Dancing Teeth", and they are pitted against "The Chair Trio". They are made to give up their weapons (including their instruments), and the fight begins.

Raz'ul takes the lead by transforming into a giant boar. Yashee then rushes forward and hits the one on the right, while Randy goes for another with a sneak attack. The other team retaliates, grappling Raz'ul and Yashee. Randy calls upon Eddie to cast Chromatic Orb to save Raz'ul. He ends up scorching the opponent and defeating him immediately, promptings booing from the crowd. Raz'ul is able to get up and knock out another opponent, and Yashee grabs him and tosses him at the last one.

The match is called and The Chair Trio is dragged out. Group A wins the prize money, but is told to never return to the Punch Bowl, as dictated by Bradward. Though disappointed at their exclusion, the group feels good about their newfound partnership and heads up to bed together.

In the morning, the group sets out with Wesley. As they go, Wesley asks them to play a traveling song, prompting them to perform "Silk Grove", though Wesley is disappointed by the final product, citing that it doesn't have much to do with traveling and doesn't include him until the end.

They reach Wesley's home and Yashee carries his luggage inside with them.
