(Note that I do in fact play Tywin, but fortunately, all rolls are public in this thread. If anyone objects, I don't mind withdrawing him from the competition.)

Everyone can now brag they survived ducking under a flaming pole in a giant bear pit inside a pirate castle.

Many cheer the Princess when she publicly defied the oppressive gender roles of her kingdom. A great cry of disappointment follows when out of instinct, she finds herself fearing for her face, the treasure of her family's marriage negotiations, and barrels backward. Still, she has impressed more than a few simply for putting in the effort.
After Naomi's display of fitness the preceding day, no one is particularly surprised by her success thus far.

The crowd is consistently dazzled that by the feat, while the leather does wonders for their courage. Admittedly, this is quite tame after the swimming contest the day before, but the audience at least witness the danger for themselves this time.

The crowd is on the edge of their seats. This is a continent that has become jaded with armed combat, but limbo is new and exciting for most visitors. To see a bastard, a princess, a lord, and a reaver compete side by side as they attempt to traverse under fire is a rare sight in any kingdom.

Sadly, it is not a rare sight to see men dominate the opposite gender. Still, many cheer for the crowd favorite from the other day.

Tywin Rivers is very glad he covered his face in leather or he might resemble the disgraced knight Ser Anakyn, last member of the ancient Skywalker family that once served the Arryns. Fortunately for him, Lord Mychel Mallister head just barely makes contact with the bar. The arbiter calls for a second round with the same pole position.

If Ser Anakyn were here, he would wheeze in laughter. Everyone who was here simply gasped and cried out. The arbiter cries out, "Again!"
The horrific sadism of the sport reveals itself at last. Several mothers cover their children's eyes, unused to watching grown men risk disfigurement for a petty prize.

The crowd goes mad, stamping feet and screaming as both men finally dodge the burning pole. At least one woman cries out, "No more! They can share the bloody drink!"
However, the rest of the crowd calls for more excitement. People are rapidly laying down bigger and bigger bets. Tywin and Mychel find themselves thirstier than they have felt in a long time, but the game continues.

The pitch from the cheering crowd is deafening, and grows louder when Mychel is officially declared the victor. More than a few women expose themselves for the nobleman, with his now famous limberness. Tywin wanders off to find a drink, something the Lord of Seagard needn't bother doing.
