The Town's drunkard Tavern Wench insists on the Jump Tavern stools challenge. Of which Merlin accepted. Showing off some skill, Merlin jumps clear over to the other side in stylized fashion much to the amazement of those watching. Merlin uses the Jump Skill successfully and blows their fingers while rubbing it against their clothes. Some were betting, so a total of 6 gold pieces was collected for Jump. A loud roar of joy errupts as they say "Merlin is a champion of Jump, who can do greater?" Merlin received 52 experience points.

Many clap and raise their mugs in your honor. Merlin received 43 experience points.
