-They begin to look for All-Moon, Lye leading, followed by a familiar, and then Korrin further back

-William stays behind to rest their injuries

-By luck, All-Moon sees Lye but Lye doesn't see them. So they follow, and Korrin follows All-Moon informing what is going on

-At an alleyway, Korrin and All-Moon see Lye talking to nothing. They muse about his sanity, perhaps a gladiator past but likely just insane now

-(All-Moon hears they are here to stock for bear and another hire for staff, they are talking around about an issue up north)

-Balazar calls out for the strongman's choice to William thinking it was him, but Lye corrects that it is All-Moon

-Two hours of show Andre gets introduced for the challenge

-It starts with a table for arm wrestling

-All-Moon to the shock of Balazar and the crowd slams Andre's arm down with the sound akin to a gunshot from the force behind it

-They follow up with a lifting competition, up to the point Andre struggles with a cage with a pigmy elephant. To which All-Moon lifts it with one hand with ease, leaving them shocked as they were the victor of the challenge

-The general crowd is ushered out as the VIP show remains left. All-Moon whispers to Evander "We have to stay" with a sense of urgency
