As their vision focuses, they see two large war dogs in front of them, bleaking their yellow teeth and growling at them. As the adrenaline rushes through their veins, they can make more of their surroundings.
They get on their feet and see a large crowd seated in a giant arc around a great walled circle of sand. They are cheering and screaming for their blood! "EAT THEM!" "RIP THEM!" "KILL THEM!" the two men hear. They are in the great arena of Pôle, the Derigion capital. And they have to fight for their lives! The tall, blonde Piorad comes from the frigid northern wastes and the dark-skinned Gadhar comes from the southern jungles. In the arena they are joined in a battle against two massive beasts and against a crowd that want to see human blood spilt.
The sandy circle is about 30 meters across and in the high walls, some openings, doors and barred entrances can be seen. Behind the two wardogs, there is a rack with a variety of melee weapons.
The Piorad and the Gadhar look at eachother and know they need to act or their blood will decorate the sand!
