The great arena [Night version] [115x115]

 The great arena [Night version] [115x115] high and low resolution

Tell me if you need some parts cut out. The resolution can be increased too.
Feedback is also always welcome. Is it too dark or too light?

 

Description of the arena and use:

This is the great arena of Stormcliff. The biggest attraction point of the metropolis. It was dig into the rock by thousands of slaves. Thousands upon thousands of spectators look down from 120 feet and enjoy the slaughter. (Binoculars are sold everywhere). There is also a lodge for the ruler of the city. He has levers on his throne that can influence what happens in the arena. His voice is also magically amplified so that he can be heard everywhere in the arena.

The arena itself is divided into different areas. The goal of all gladiators is to reach the center. A particularly powerful beast lurks there. Slaying it gives infinite fame and money. The inner area is protected by magic, which only allows entry through one of the four great gates. You need three keys to open a gate. Influential gladiators can enter the arena with one or two keys (sponsors spend a lot of money to give them adavantages). Five more keys can be found in the arena itself. In the chests, which are distributed over the area and are particularly difficult to access.

1.Let's start in the south-eastern part of the arena. The lower surface is littered with basins full of strong acid. The fighting takes place much higher. Four towers rise up and from these extend narrow walkways without railings. (The height is about 60 feet). The ways are supported by pillars. In the middle of this death trap is one of the chests. It is suspended on chains at a height of 55 feet between four pillars. A brave jump or dance on the chains leads to the key.
(Caution: The ruler can activate magical winds from his lodge, which make it even more difficult not to fall down)

Let us now look at the south-western part of the arena. The water park holds two keys.

2. One chest is located in a basin that is fed by two strong streams. One big and brave dive (30 feet deep) and you have reached it. But be careful, dangerous creatures live in the water. In addition, the grid is located here, which allows the water to drain off.(Caution: The ruler can control from his lodge how much water is drained and thus create a very strong suction)

3. Let's now follow the two strong streams. The other chest stands on an elevation and lies directly above a magical water source that keeps dropping thousands of liters down the cliff. You have to fight your way up the waterfall somehow to get the key
(Caution: Here too the ruler can do something. If he wants, a particularly large wave comes, which only leaves the strongest)

4. Let us now turn our gaze to the north-west. Here is a small artificial mountain range, which has very steep slopes. In addition to a dangerous climbing tour, there is the possibility of taking the ladders. They lead through narrow gorges, which have particularly good narrow choke points, at which you can, for example, oppose a majority of pursuers. Once at the top you have to somehow climb one of the four pillars (30 feet). The chest hangs from these, fastened with ropes, over a pit filled with wooden spikes. (It would be a shame if someone cut the ropes when someone is about to open the chest)

5. We come to the last chest. It is located in a pit in the north-east of the arena. Around the pit is the Garden of Fine Arts located. Full of deadly environments.
(Caution: The ruler can make the mills of death rotate at will. (The big blades start to rotate)). The pit itself (30 feet deep) is difficult to exit. The walls are covered with wooden spikes that point downwards.

I plan to use the arena in the context of this beautiful little adventure where a dragon must be saved from an evil princess. Made by u/lumenwrites

With a few extensions, the fight in the arena becomes an evening-filling spectacle. There will be many lone fighters and roaming beasts. There are also several other specialist teams of gladiators. (The group meets them beforehand. Here there is the opportunity to exert influence (build friendships, poison fighters, etc.) The angry mother dragon waits in the middle of the Arena for the great finale.
