The party is nearly over. Last drinks anyone? [Day 146]
Who: Everyone
Open: Open
When: Day 146
Where: All over the Bastion
What: Day 4 of the festival
Format: Any
Warnings: None
Yet another torch arrives in the wee morning hours, this one decorated with chains.
Today, the eldest of the Bastion and the youngest of the Bastion are gifted with another charm for their bracelets.
As for games, it seems to be strategy games all over the place! Games much like Earthly counterparts, such as Go, Shogi, Mahjong, Chess (even a 3D chess-like game, should you be so brave as to try it), Checkers, Risk (et al). Winners of these games will get a few more shards to add to their respective collections.
And there will also be a massive tower in the center of the Bastion, designed much like a climbing wall. Get to the top and retrieve the pendant in the set amount of time, and you'll earn another charm towards your bracelet!
As an extra to the ladies of the Bastion, there will be two special things exclusively for them - first off, Pyth will only be usable by ladies. Anyone who identifies as male will simply not receive a reaction from Ptyh should they step in to the pit. AND there will also be a special tug of war game for ladies only, using a chain. Acobi is the God of Abandon, and as such women will be free to do whatever they want today, regardless of their upbringing or beliefs. Go nuts, girls! The girls who win the tug of war will also get another charm, as well as two shards per person on the team that wins.
Evening will bring the next torch, this one adorned with a tower, and a massive feast of much healthier food and drink than what's been offered up until. Even if you eat and drink a great deal, you'll find yourself lacking any hangovers or stomach aches the following morning.
The soft music that's been playing every day of the festival will suddenly quit at around "5pm", and the remainder of the night will be filled with live music played by the NPCs, and even a few PCs should they choose to join in. The music will be in the gazebo with seats set up all around it like an outdoor performance stage, but with enough room up front for spontaneous dancing.
The night ends with this joyful celebration to close out the festival.

They all seem to be strategy games. Some of these I recognize from my world, at least somewhat.
[He plays with the pawn in his hand, rolling it around.]
Chess is sometimes called the 'sport of kings' in my world. It's very common.
no subject
[It's a bit hard to get such a good look at the pieces when they're so tiny, but Paarthurnax does his best.]
How does one play?
no subject
The goal is to capture the opponent's king - this piece - by making it so it can't move. The pieces all move in different ways.
[He briefly explains how all of the pieces move, holding them up so Paarthurnax can see.]
no subject
Each piece is a vital part of the whole. It must take great intelligence to use them all effectively.

[Maybe they can eventually make a larger set...]

That would be much appreciated. So, the white pieces move first, is this correct?

[He twists his head a bit to inspect the board, thinking for a moment.]
The Pawn before the Knight, on the Queen's side. Move that, if you may.
