After hearing Thabon's explanation of the rewards that he could obtain by doing well in the upcoming tournament, Marcus could not help but be incredibly tempted to enter.
'Damn they are really trying to lure me and Gurrom out. Those rewards are any forgemaster's dream, and in the future, I am going to need to get my hands on them one way or the other. I can get mithril easily enough, but adamantine is incredibly hard to get, and amethros is so rare that I have only ever seen the small sliver Thabon has. Not to mention the monster and beast materials that are being offered, are also icing on top. The only problem is that it will become annoying to have people try to recruit me once I show off my skills, especially if I do not make it to at least the top eight.'
Sighing Marcus began weighing the pros and cons, trying to convince himself to participate even if it might cause him a headache later.
