Introduction
"Stranger from another world! Fight, entertain us and win your freedom in this, the Garrintrots arena!"
Vindelith examines the items he's carrying. He has an equipped dagger and is wearing some leather armour. His pack contains a torch, 7 yellow healing potions and 2 red mana potions. Vindelith investigates his cell and finds TV cameras and TV screens. He bumps into a few automatic doors, but they remain closed. The only way forward is to go out into the Garrintrots arena.
Vindelith feels his powers growing as he steps outside. He learns how to hurt creatures more when they're behind a wall (Corner advancement). He walks north east and finds an iron hammer, which he equips (Attack 4, Break 2). He drops the dagger he was wielding previously. He walks north, but it is just a dead end. So he returns south and sees a giant rat.
Vindelith doubts there is any reason to kill the rat, so he goes west. The rat is fast though and soon catches up to him and attacks. Vindelith suffers only a minor wound (58/60 health), so whacks the rat with his new hammer. The rat is killed instantly. Vindelith decides to continue going west, until he sees a snake slithering towards him. He doesn't want to get poisoned, so goes back west to his starting position, to try to avoid it. The snake is quick and soon reaches Vindelith. Vindelith desperately tries to get away but suddenly runs into a whole pack of creatures!
Vindelith tries to run away by going a little north, but is bitten by a snake. Luckily he doesn't seem poisoned or injured. He moves away again and is bitten lightly (56/60 health). Vindelith runs north west for a while and is able to avoid being bitten. He notices the closest snake is behind a wall and whacks it with his hammer. The snake is smashed against the wall and dies. He takes out the other creatures in a similar fashion and is surprised at the ease of the victory. He is relatively uninjured (50/60 health) and picks up two coins that spilled out from the stomachs of two snakes. He thinks there must be something good down that path if all those creatures were there, so goes back south east. He runs into a bat on the way and his over-confidence at the past victory leads him to be careless. The bat damages him (42/60 health) but he strikes back and kills it. He walks over to a red fountain, which he drinks from.
He continues east for a while and encounters a rat, snake and a floating eye. They are tough to kill and Vindelith bleeds heavily onto the ground (23/60 health). Vindelith sees a cudgel lying on the ground and goes over to investigate. The weapon doesn't seem any better than his iron hammer, so he ignores it and continues on. He turns around a corner and disturbs a pack of giant rats.
More rats appear and Vindelith thinks their must be a sewer entrance or something in this area. He attacks a rat and counts at least four other rats behind that one. The rats bite him (15/60 health) and Vindelith decides to retreat. The rat's seem territorial and don't attempt to give chase.
Vindelith is a little suspicious of being able to get away so easily. He runs around a wall and suddenly all the rats rush out and attack him. He realises this is the other exit to the rats nest. He tries to quaff a healing potion and run away, but they are too quick and he is soon reduced to rat food.
