Fighting tournaments? Awesome! That'd be the perfect preparation for our adventure! Lead the way, Minuette!

As the group splits up, you and Moonflower decide to go along with Minuette. You look around the village for a few minutes for any ongoing tournaments, before finding ponies gathered around a small fighting ring to the north.

Just as you arrive, you witness the end of a spar between an unimpressed griffon, and a defeated earth pony stallion.

Announcer: "Another one bites the dust! And just like that, Gerwalta the Gladiator claims her ninety-ninth victory in a row!"

The crowd cheers. After sharing a respectful bow with the griffon, the stallion shakily walks out of the ring, and returns his foam sword to a nearby weapon rack.

Announcer: "Good fight! Now, who will be our next challenger? Grab yourself a weapon, and step into the ring!"

A few ponies hesitatingly approach the weapon rack.

Moonflower: "Ooh, she looks dangerous."
