Cleric and Monk investigate a colosseum after the suspicious deaths of a gladiator and promoter. The Cleric is asking why he can’t place bets on the dead gladiator as a way to stir up some information while the Monk eats a meat pie.

Meanwhile the Rogue is bluffing her way back to the locker rooms with food and drink in hand for “The Boulder”, playing the role of a confused intern. She manages her way past a pervy security guard, an annoyed guard, and finally has her luck challenged by an assistant manager.

Manager: Event food isn’t allowed back here. Where are you … Wait - where’s your I’D badge?!

Lacey: I’m so sorry, sir. It’s amazing I haven’t been fired yet, but you know this place is a maze and I… (said totally unaware of the man’s function after a poor knowledge check and a not quite enough bluff check)

Manager: The key word being here is yet! Follow me to the guard station.

At the station, Lacey convincingly states that her name is Emily Borden. The guard is confused when he finds no such name. She then corrects him with another bluff that it’s not Borden with a B, but Corden.

Guard: … Corden. Not Borden. So, with a C? (He believes he made an error and looks for the new name unsuccessfully. As the guard asks for clarification for the second time, the manager rolls his eyes and blurts out)

Manager: I have no time for this - You’re fired! Get your things and leave.

Lacey: Fine, but I’m taking the food.

Lacey manages to diplomacy her way out with the food and drinks. She meets up with the not-so-successful Monk and Cleric back at their actual seats in the colosseum stands.

Earl (Cleric): What did you go do all on your own?

Sten (Monk): … and why is the food so cold?
