56 The Last Team Member (2/2)

Rahz try asking his parents for a suggestion on the fourth member but he was left to his own devices as it was a learning experience for him and something he should try to do alone.This task not only tested Rahz ability to lead but also tested his ability to put a team together that worked in principle. Rahz needed to investigate and learn more about the other classes and the way they could synergized with the other members of the team.

Rahz decided to do maintenance on his weapon while meditating on a possible solution to his conundrum.After a couple of hours of meditating Rahz realized that he knew very little about the other warriors in the village, he barely knew what guardians could do and he knew even less about Beastlords.Thankfully it was not a problem at all as the village had a training system that included sparring and he could see the matches and see what could work.

When Rahz arrived to the training grounds once more everybody got excite it because they thought he was going to challenge a team once again but they were sadly disappointed as Rahz just sat on the ground and watched the fights.

Rahz quickly found out that the sample was too small and some already had a team so he approach the elder and propose a mini tournament with an elixir of constitution as a reward.Anybody up to Level 13 could participate but they need it to be un affiliated to another group.

The plan was a success and very quickly excitement ran across the village warriors that were able to sign on to take part on the event, some even thought of quitting their teams to compete but they quickly reconsidered as the Elders would reprimand them quite harshly.

The next morning there was excitement all around as the morning training was stopped and the arena was set up.Even Chief Cerdic enjoyed the idea and the whole leadership of the village was present to enjoy the matches.A total of 16 fighters were eligible to participate and there was a representative of every class.

Arne was not in the mini tournament as he had been approach by Rahz already and he had accepted the offer earning him his very own Constitution Elixir.

The prize was a hit with everyone in the village, and even a 30 year old came to join the tournament as there was no age cap just a level ceiling.All the matches were single elimination and skills were allowed but the contestant need it to use wooden weapons.The idea was to have a fun event without any casualties while still showcasing their battle prowess.

There were 10 warriors, 2 rogues, 2 Beastlords, and 2 Shamans.The other scout Aya had talked about was present and was one of the main candidates to the last member position.The initial fights were very quickly decided, there was a clear gap in the level of skill of the contestant and it wasn't a surprise that the higher level fighters shone throughout the first round of competition but the real revelation of the tournament were the two Beastlords that managed to defeat their opponent with an overwhelming advantage.

The Warder Pets of the Beastlords couldn't be more different, one had a Bear and the other one had one of the spiders from the caves to the north but their teamwork was exceptional.This two particular Warders were also in the minority for the whole village as the majority preferred the damage oriented cat family and used Frostsabers.

Aya's pick also made it through and his battle sense was amazing as well, it wasn't easy as a rogue to beat a guardian an he made look like child's play.Last but not least was the underdog, a shaman with an Ursine totemic incarnation that made him as tough as nails.He could kite the opponent exceptionally well and when they least expected switch to Ursine and attack with savage force.

It was not surprise to anybody when this 4 individuals made it all the way to the semifinal, and for this final bouts it turnout to beShaman vs. Beastlord (Bear Warder) and Rogue vs Beastlord (Spider Warder)everybody was excited and the cheers didn't stop coming as the fighters gave it their all.
