Thomas walks silently through the masses of sleeping fighters. He steps carefully, and thoughtfully, not waking any of them. He pulls on a long pipe he won playing dice years ago, and looks around. So many powerfull fighters, so many differing strategies and goals. Perhaps there would be a few to hire when the day was done.. Stepping over two obviously drunk fighters snoring heavily he chuckles. Not them unfortunatly. Looking across the field to two tourney guards he thinks.. Why have guards guarding so many well abled people.. Pulling on his pipe again he watches the players sleep....
