Prologue - Harvest Festival

Greenest is the largest town along the Uldoon Trail in the Western Heartlands. Travelers from the east stop in town for rest and resupply on their way to the coast. The town and the surrounding farms prosper from this fortunate location. The Harvest Festival is an annual event that attracts craftsman, performers and merchants from as far as Waterdeep. This year te growing season was blessed with frequent gentle rains. Most of the farmers now boast of bumper crops.

With their surplus safely to market and taxes paid the farmers are ready for a celebration. The inns are full, spare rooms throughout the town and nearby farmhouses are all rented, even overnight barnspace is renting for a premium. Many travelers have set up camp along the stream west of town.

The fairgrounds spread from the streambank south of town to the gentle rise of the hillside one quarter odf a mile away. Merchants with tents and carts have set up around the edges. Food venders are scattered randomly throughout the grounds and a large stage has been erected in the center. Performers arrange for times on stage with those in the evening being the most sought after. A large bonfire has been laid to be lit at dusk.

There are hundreds of revelers enjoying the harvest in the afternoon sun. The air is brisk, the leaves on the trees in the surrounding hills have begun to change color. The music is cheerful and loud. The air is filled with laughter. The party has begun.

Prologue - Harvest Festival

Somewhere at the center of the town, at the side of the largest stage, a much smaller stage was erected and gaining a few observers here and their. It was a 10 foot by 10 foot square stage, four wooden stakes are planted around the square's edges and wrapped around them to form a sort of railing are a bunch of ropes. And at the center of this impromptu stage is a masked individual. This individual looks to be a woman in her early twenties, is 6 feet tall and has a muscular build. She also appears to be wearing what looks to be a one piece swimsuit but mixed with a corset, accompanied with some colorful gloves, boots and of course, a mask. This strange performer is currently eating one of the tastiest and meaty treats she received from a nearby vendor,"Mmm, tasty, and it looks like the stage is set and my debut is ready to start." she says, then points at the crowd dramatically,"Ladies, gents, and others, I'm here to present to you a challenge. For you see, I am Catrina of the GreySky Family. And we GreySkys have won many gladitorial matches, including death matches and monster fighting, and we only did it with our bare hands. And I'm here to make my first debut and prove my skills. Now, which of you contenders are willing to beat me, any of you got what it takes." she says to the crowd and also adds,"Theirs also a 19 gold reward if you beat me. Entry fee is for a simple 5 gold pieces."
