The Jousting Prize

Katrina flew me to the games in Selenica. Everett made a deal with me to throw the wrestling tournament, and offered me a magical helm in return. I agreed. After all, the prize for the tournament is only a couple of potions. It was interesting to see Furball's reaction when he somehow found out about our little deal. But what was even more interesting was the jousting tournament.

A magical dagger as a jousting prize! They wouldn't even allow me to joust; they just laughed at me and told me it was only for warriors. Well I showed them. Seems that Stalfor won't be getting his prize after all. Not that I have anything against Stalfor, but a fine magical detection dagger such as this one is too good of a deal to pass up.

The guards never knew what happened. I first used magic to create sounds to distract them. Then, while invisible and flying, I swooped down and picked up the prize they were so foolishly displaying right in the middle of the courtyard. And what do the observers think? Well the magical dagger just disappeared--it's magical after all isn't it?
