			As the festivities begin, Smash makes his way down and is announced by a guard (as all heroes are as they enter). It's here that he finds himself speaking with Luda Darkver, an incredibly flirty Dwarven warrior who is known for slicing enemies down with her twin axes. The two hit it off immensely as they bond over hand axes<sup>3</sup> and Dwarven Christmas<sup>4</sup>.

			Eventually, Shivora, Ella, Phineaus, and the Professor arrive to try to push the riot into full fight in the Coliseum, but the setting gets the best of the group of rioters and they calm themselves.

			The Professor finds Bartleby an presses him on his allegiance as Delfian. Bartleby makes it clear that his allegiances are not clouded and he fully understood what happened in the encampment days earlier.

			Before turning in for the night, The Professor leaves to scope out the Coliseum just as Shivora notices a shadowy character run from the entrance where the heroes entered (a side door in the Coliseum grounds) towards the back portcullis. He sneaks his way towards the shadowy figure, followed closely by Phineaus and Ella. They sneak their way through the portcullis and attempt to track the shadowy figure.

			2- The people of Birsk have notoriously lost their Coliseum matches over the years as they are a city of miners, not fighters. They live in an isolated land and farm the mountains to the north for precious gems and metals. In recent years, they have become aware of this fault, but despite their best efforts, Seaside has pushed them into the losing bracket and won the Title Belt.

			3- Luda's family has a long history with a family of Blacksmiths, but she is the first of her family to wield handaxes instead of a great axe.

Session #8 of [[Kidnapped, or was it?]].

'''Play Date''': October 20th, 2016

== DM Summary ==

Coliseum!

Smash approached the table of two men whispering, his friends passed out in the doorway. He attempted to steal the mystical, poisoned knife the two were planning to sneak into the Coliseum match. However, despite his best efforts in fighting the knife away from the pair, he was hit with a necrotic spell and suddenly knocked unconscious.

Following, our heroes awoke tied together an hour outside of Birsk. They cut their ties, but realized that Mikey was nowhere to be found. Although they wished to solve the mystery of the knife, Smash needed to get to the Coliseum for the first day of battle (also, the qualifying match for Day 2 of the Coliseum battle).

After tedious waiting, Smash found himself in the battlefield facing enemy after enemy, and much to no one's surprise, he won the necessary 8 battles in a row to go on to the next day of fighting. Meanwhile, the rest of our heroes watched other contestants fight and lose. After a grueling 8 hours of battle, the final 16 fighters were chosen<sup>1</sup>.

Following the qualifier round, Smash and Mikey (who also managed to pass through to the second day) were given room and board and free food and drink. That night, a festival in the Coliseum would be held at 11pm.
