The cavernous space stinks of rust and old blood beneath the uneven flicker of torchlight. The rattle of chains follows your shuffle past rows of cages holding broken, vacant-eyed creatures. A human overseer named Griff watches your approach, the corner of his mouth lifting as he snaps a leather whip against the stone floor. "Welcome to what's left of your life, you. Try not to die too quickly." He gestures toward the dark, blood-soaked sand of the central ring.
