You look into the gloom of the alleyway uncertain
wether this is a good idea or not. You had heard rumours
among the noblemen and commoners of your favorite
inn that a secret place existed where warriors from
around the world... around the cosmos, would come
to battle each other for fame and fortune. In fact
since the rumour began spreading the local taverns
had seen a decrease in business. You take a deep breath,
as deep as you dare with the vile odour wafting from
the alley, and steel your courage before stepping
into the gloom.
A small door, carved with various symbols that you
can't comprehend, stands against the side of a small
wooden building. The door looks to be in excellent
condition despite the utter disrepair of the accompanying
structure. You reach forward to grasp the handle when
suddenly a mouth appears in the center of the door.
"The Pit is currently closed for business until
further notice. Please come back in a few months.
Torgal extends his thanks for your interest though."
The mouth disappears as the last word is uttered.
You stand for a moment staring at the door before
turning to exit the alley.
A pair of dark red eyes follows you as you leave
the shadows and step into the light of the main street...
