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."
