Tickets
This event is past the point where ticket sales are permitted.After a failed uprising, the Masked Council of Taudis has tightened its grip on the city. Criminals, rebels, and the unfortunate alike are thrown into The Maw — the arena at the edge of the Marbled Rise, the forbidden district where the nobility dwell. There, they fight for the city’s amusement, doomed to die.
You are among the condemned.
Thrown into the holding cells beneath the sands, you and a handful of desperate souls await your turn in the pit. All you have is a hairpin, a shiv, and three feet of rusted chain wrested from the wall. The smell of lotus smoke and sour wine wafts from the guard room. The crowd above roars for blood, and there are tales that the very sand of the arena yearns for it.
If you’re ever going to escape, it has to be now.
This is an adventure I wrote for the high-action OSR system Black Sword Hack, where you play as unnaturally-gifted barbarians, thieves, and wizards who've made deals with strange powers for your magic.
