Session 4: The Arena

General Summary

Bastion woke up in an Arena owned by the spiders of chastity. There he fought a man known as Zodd the Immortal. Later found to also be known as Diligence. In the arena, Alakas and Temperance were watching from afar. Diligence spared Bastion in return for him hunting them down later and killing them. Further notes listed below:

city of thieves

good place for business if you don't mind being stolen from

cheap living, no one knows where the buildings come from

there is no real hierarchy, if you try, it gets you killed

if there is a man with a rat's tail, leave him be, he is an interesting fellow

"Which crystals makes portals?"

a bunch a scratches on talas' back trying to scratch their back off

"asks what is wrong with being a half-elf?"

PP laughs, "you think you're half-elf? No half-elves have wings."
