Fight Night | For paladins and rogues alike
Art by Yu Chao Cheng
Introduction
Brickabrack "The Brick" Snarlsword. Ballyhoo "Shredder" the bugbear. Gretel "The Horns" Gargaberg. These legends are assembling for an ultimate fight night at the Goblin Market -- and you're invited! Arasen, a local entrepreneur, needs a few schmucks willing to be "heels" for these heroes of the ring. Take a few punches, and leave the night a hundred gold pieces richer. Nurse your hurt pride at the bar, gamble a few coins at the black market auctions, have a good time! Just remember, you go down in the fourth round, got it? You're not here to be a hero. *Homework: Bring a fun luchador-style personae your character can play as the "bad guy" in a Lucha Libre-parody game!

Shops
Three craft stalls are set up side by side, each with spacious interiors for customers to mill around in. Tall wooden walls delineate each space, one with the walls packed with books and scrolls, one with sketches and drawings of runic tattoos and a padded table ready for a customer, and the last with boxes and trunks meticulously labelled, a half-giant standing with a reanimated dead crow.
NPCs and what they sell:
Carnyx, “The Golden Gangleweave” — tattoo shop
G. E. Syntyche, “Forbidden Tomes: Discount spells and rare books” — book shop
Corvus and Wee John, “Corvus and Wee John Fine Mercantile and Pawn” — pawn shop
Arena
The air hazy with the kicked up dirt, but you can still make out cages carved into the walls of the arena, filled with snarling and growling monsters that strain at the bars. A bookie shouts, “Three to one! Three to one on animated armor! Any takers?”
It's 10 GP to ante!

Bid War
How to run an auction:
1. Bid is Raised (Starting at 1/2 the items value)
2. Any PCs who want to take part rolls a d6.
3. The DM rolls a d6 for any NPCs who are bidding.
4. If an NPC rolls equal or higher than the highest PC roll they're still in the bidding. If they roll lower they stop bidding.
5. The process repeats until all the NPCs or all the PCs are no longer in the bidding.

The Fey Fruit
Despite the dinginess of the air, this place has a cheerful aura. Culturally misplaced masks are lit from within by Dancing Lights, colorful paper lanterns hang from every available vertical surface, and the smell of frying meat wafts from behind the grill. Merchants, bodyguards, and a variety of shady characters hang out and drink from tall, wooden cups with wee umbrellas in them. ”Oi! Welcome to the Fey Fruit, no theivin’ or spyin’ allowed, but if you just want something to eat we can help you.”
One table features a group of wizards hunched together
This is a group of red wizards looking for leads on another crystal egg.
If the party wants to listen-in on their conversation, they must succeed on a DC13 Stealth Check
One table sits an elf in dark clothing, drinking a mai tai and watching people pass by
This is “Patchwork” the art thief
He’s scheming to steal a painting being auctioned off in the main hall at the end of the night
One table two tieflings are arguing over they are to afford one of the items going up for sale.
If the party asks, the tieflings will ask if they want to go in on a bidding war. If the party helps them drive up the price of the item beforehand, it could benefit them both.
