Common foe - Prisoners
Added 2024-10-31 11:34:23 +0000 UTCMany pirate ships docked in Vesper to sell slaves and prisoners. These poor souls, treated like resources, were valuable in all sorts of situations, occult or more ordinary. Even though Vesper was seen as a female only, city-like, convent, male slaves were constantly put to use and replaced.
Entertainment had a big place among nobility, Arena was a favorite. Champions were not able to put on a show daily. They were fighting for long awaited shows and ceremonies instead.
Thus, most of the time, prisoners were thrown on the blood-soaked sand, in deathmatches, against wild beasts and sometimes, facing trained, fed and geared gladiators. Unfair, brutal and horrifying. The crowd loved it.
Like everyone in the city after the Ritual, prisoners changed. They became mindless husks in search on preys. Some wandered out, above ground, however most prisoners kept haunting the Arena's underground cells and tunnels they were already detained in.
Facing one of them is not a problem for an experienced adventurer, but everyone knows this : "When there is one, there is more".
