The chapter opens with [[Erin Solstice|Erin]] and [[Rags]] emerging from the garden, and Erin finally has time to meet her guests. Some are old, but others are new to her. [[Vetn]], [[Qwera]], and [[Ysara Byres|Ysara]] decide to settle in the inn after hearing about the market, and Erin welcomes them with open arms. Other new arrivals included [[Lehra Ruinstrider|Lehra]], and her [[Stargazer’s Promise|named-rank team]], who got a culture shock once they learned about the sheer amount of Named-rank adventurers that were regulars of the inn. Others that hadn't gotten a chance to see Erin until then also came by including the [[Silver Swords]], [[Saliss Oliwing|Saliss]], and even [[Todi’s Elites|Todi's Elites]]. | The chapter opens with [[Erin Solstice|Erin]] and [[Rags]] emerging from the garden, and Erin finally has time to meet her guests.

Besides the many meetings with Erin, [[Serafierre val Lischelle-Drakle|Fierre's]] family had also come by the inn. They were greeted by [[Wailant Strongheart|Wailant]] and [[Viceria Strongheart|Viceria]] as fellow farmers, though Fierre herself was busy selling secrets about all of the famous people | Besides the many meetings with Erin, [[Serafierre val Lischelle-Drakle|Fierre's]] family had also come by the inn. They were greeted by [[Wailant Strongheart|Wailant]] and [[Viceria Strongheart|Viceria]] as fellow farmers, though Fierre herself was busy selling secrets about all of the famous people in her secret brokerage in [[Invrisil]]. One surprise customer that came by to make a deal with Fierre was Rags. She wanted to know how much the people from the Wharf were cheating her, but more importantly, she wanted Fierre to act as a middleman for many larger purchases of goods that [[Goblinhome]] could not easily access. Despite the risk of being found supplying powerful goblins, Fierre agreed. | ||
On the following day, the excitement had calmed down a bit. Rags tried out one of her new skills, and [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]] put into place some of her activities that she'd planned for the multi-day party. One of those was a design your own antinium game for children, and another was finding more contestants for the chess tournament. Before anything could happen with these, [[Pawn]] confronted Lyonette about how she'd been avoiding him, and she broke up with him citing how much they had both changed.

Rags tried out one of her new skills, and [[Lyonette du Marquin|Lyonette]] put into place some of her activities that she'd planned for the multi-day party. One of those was a design your own antinium game for children, and another was finding more contestants for the chess tournament. Before anything could happen with these, [[Pawn]] confronted Lyonette about how she'd been avoiding him, and she broke up with him citing how much they had both changed. Things got worse as the chess tournament wasn't attracting as much attention as she would have liked, and the antinium design contest resulted in Visma's design accidentally flying into the fire place with [[Ekirra Silverfang|Ekirra]]'s getting shredded in a tree. [[Jerom]] of all people brought forth a solution when he quickly whipped up a carved, wooden antinium for [[Visma]] that stopped her from crying. This could be painted properly without being so flimsy. [[Troydel]], being an expert on figurines, was happy to help coordinate more production of these figures with any other nearby [Carvers]. Even with this solution though, the party wasn't a very entertaining watch. This is when Erin finally stepped in. | ||
Erin gave a much-awaited interview to [[Drassi Tewing|Drassi]] over [[Wistram Academy|Wistram]]'s News Network where she proclaimed herself the best chess player in the world. She advertised the chess tournament with herself as the final boss and even put forth a <Yearly Heroic Quest> to prove it. The reward would be the 80 gold promised previously with an addition of one level in any <intelligence> based class. The promised reward was especially important for any high level person and turned the world into a frenzy of setting up regional tournaments with the goal of challenging Erin. She wouldn't go down without a fight | Erin gave a much-awaited interview to [[Drassi Tewing|Drassi]] over [[Wistram Academy|Wistram]]'s News Network where she proclaimed herself as the best chess player in the world. She advertised the chess tournament with herself as the final boss and even put forth a <Yearly Heroic Quest> to prove it. The reward would be the 80 gold promised previously with an addition of one level in any <intelligence> based class. The promised reward was especially important for any high level person and turned the world into a frenzy of setting up regional tournaments with the goal of challenging Erin. She wouldn't go down without a fight though. Erin worded the quest such that she "''play you at my utmost best and keep playing until I lose.''" which the [[System]] interpreted as giving her temporary classes and skills to compete with anyone that would challenge her using their own advanced classes and skills. [[Pisces Jealnet|Pisces]] challenged her first and got utterly demolished barely able to make a move and from there Erin started an endurance gauntlet of facing the best players in the world. She played everyone from the Antinium Queens to [[Cognita]] to the [[Othius the Fourth|Blighted King]]. Some she played repeatedly as they won the chance to face her again and again. Those included [[Fetohep]], [[Eldavin]], Viscount [[Visophecin|Visosphecin]], [[Niers Astoragon|Niers]], [[Altestiel]], The [[Belchaus Meron|Lord of Dance]], the [[Quarass]], and an International Master from Earth, [[Antal Fekete|Antal]]. In the end, she played over 87 matches and the one person to beat her was not any of the expected competitors, but rather it was [[Calidus Reinhart]]. Many leveled from this even at their high levels, but Calidus got what he saw as a dubious reward at best where his [Hedonist] class was removed to be replaced by [Genius of Sloth]. | ||
