Gragnel puts his comb in his leather longcoat.

Gragnel dusts himself off.

Gragnel smiles broadly as he takes a position in the center of the field facing the audience on the benches.

Gragnel loudly exclaims, "Ladies and Gentlemen of this beautiful crowd gathered here today, let me open by saying that the Immortals are real and they're on my side!"

Gragnel flashes a wide grin.

Gragnel loudly says, "Ya know, because I'm a Priest and all that. It's kinda our "thing" if you will."

Gragnel smirks.

Gragnel smartly says, "So, if you got me in your corner, you've got the favor of the Divine. No two ways about it."

Gragnel flashes a wide grin.

Gragnel solemnly says, "I ask that you please allow me a moment of prayer with you all. Another one of our "things" that we Holy folk do."

Gragnel clears his throat.

Gragnel nods.

Gragnel recites:

   "Oh, heavenly father and dark lord, Damaris.
    It's me, again, your loyal servant and disciple, Gragnel.
    Today I am coming to you on behalf of one of your honorable champions.
    One who has served you faithfully in both deed and action.
    One who continues to serve your glorious name with his battle prowess and unrivaled skill."

Gragnel recites:

   "Oh, powerful and mighty, Damaris.
    Guide your champion's strikes and allow them to ring true.
    May your holy essence guide  his aim.
    May your divine sight sharpen his eyes to the weaknesses of those who dares to face him.
    Imbue his stalwart companion and mount, Golden, with your steady footing.
    Find your amusement in the downfall of his opponents as he dashes all their hopes of moving forward in this competition."

Gragnel recites:

   "I ask that you find it in your infinite grace and generosity to look upon this man with the kind gaze of a proud father.
    He, who has always proclaimed your limitless benevolence and fearsome might.
    He, who has committed his life to you and to gaining your divine favor.
    He, who has smote your enemies on the field of combat time and time again."

Gragnel recites:

   "I beseech you to embrace him into your loving hands.
    Strengthen him with the power and majesty you carry with your glorious name, Damaris.
    I pray these things in your resplendent name, Damaris.
    Please, bless this field and bless your champion...."

Gragnel lightly touches his panther pin as he says a quick prayer.

Gragnel yells, "Lieutenant of the Northern Watch, Crobin Yuanfen!"

Gragnel bows.
