Fight One! Iron Thorn vs Frostwall Irregulars The Frostwall Irregulars distracted the referee before attempting to build a guard tower right there in the oil pit. Elixer had no patience for their cheating ways, and opened fire with incendiary rounds, burning not only the Peons, but also much of the audience. The peons were quickly cut down, and brutally murdered by the rest of the team to the roar of the crowd. Fight Two! Forty Wrenched Wenches vs Lord Marveloso and Retainers Lord Marveloso entered the pits with his two dogs. The two dogs quickly grabbed Annasyn allowing Marveloso to skewer her quite horribly. Lokala and Dai managed to pull Marveloso down into the oil pit, right as a mysterious human pirate that totally wasn't a guy eating deviate fish opened fire on the noble. The referee got confused at that point, and somehow the Forty Wenches managed to come out on top. Fight Three! The Sons of Storm vs ROLLLLLINNNGG THUNNNDER The Sons of Storm advanced quickly on Rolling Thunder, forcing Rolling Thunder to unleash their secret weapon... a kidnapped Free Peon goblin gagged and bound and covered in explosives in a burlap sack. Fizzle Darkclaw then set the living bomb on fire, detonating much of the oil pit. The many peons in the crowd were furious, calling for the death of the Burning Blade gang, and quickly turning on their fellow audience members. While the Ghost Furies tried to keep the arena calm, the Sons of Storm, though quite thoroughly burnt, managed to finish off not only Fizzle Darkclaw, but his two fleeing minions. The remaining spectators fled the Valley of Spirits to escape the expanding violence.

The Ghost Furies are running one of their usual over the top fight nights out of the Valley of Spirits, right in the oil pit where there is the greatest chance of drowning, burning, and the Sunny Sides getting absolutely filthy. The Pit Fights purport to follow the rules of the Mak’Roghan. Three combatants each side, fights are not to the death, but only until the other side is completely unconscious. Yielding is not allowed, neither from the victors, nor the defeated. Sometimes people die. The crowd likes it better that way. The Pit Fights follow a similar ranking to the arenas, with each victory you gain points, with more points the more prestigious gladiators you can challenge. If you fight with great style and win over the audience, you gain more points. If you lose you lose points. That is if you aren’t dead. The crowd likes it better when people die. Entry fee for each team is 100 gold pieces. The winner gets 175 gold, the Ghost Furies take their cut. But that is hardly where the real money is. The real money is in gambling. The amount of money gambled gets so high that sometimes gladiators accept payment to take a fall, even if such a fall might result in their own death. Teams from the Ghost Furies, The Burning Blade, Cataclysm’s Valkyr, The Sunny Sides, and Free Peon will be competing. The guards have already been persuaded to patrol elsewhere.
