Ideas for adventures and descriptions of the great arena

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 in the stands).

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 a lot money and infinite fame. 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 a key (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. The lava fields in the south

The lower surface is littered with basins full of lava. The fighting takes place much higher. Three towers rise up and from these extend narrow walkways without railings. (The height is about 40 feet). In the middle of this death trap rests one of the chests.

(Caution: The ruler can activate magical winds from his lodge, which make it even more difficult not to fall down)

2. In the east there is the water park which holds two keys.

One chest is located in a basin that is fed by 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 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 to get the key

(Caution: If the ruler wants, a particularly large wave flows out of the waterfall)

4. The pitfall in the northwest

Once at the top of this area you have to 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 south-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).

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.) I also filled the arena with lots of little details. If you don't want them, you can leave them as random decorations or you can use them to bring small social encounters and other stories to life in the great arena!

I wish you all a lot of fun with the great arena!
