About the adventure
Your wrists ache as the cold shackles bite deeper into your skin. The laughs and jeers from the crowd echo around you, only worsening the horrible feeling of a lamb being led to its own slaughter. As your captors throw you into the arena, unearthly roars erupt from the corners of the colosseum, no doubt the monsters being fed their daily meal of unfortunate prisoners. Consumed by fear and terror, you barely notice as more people are dumped into your tiny prison, no doubt fellow sufferers sharing your doomed fate. Clutching the few possessions you were allowed to keep, you wonder how on earth you'll survive this twisted game and slay the monstrous nightmares and their sadistic masters.
