The Auction (2)

While the crowds were dispersing for the long 3 hour break, the members of royalty, nouveau riche and visiting nobles gathered in a site underground, much much deeper within the Gorun Stadium grounds but not in the arena itself.

It was a location crafted specifically for the purpose of absolute security and defensibility, smack dab in the centre of the city and nearly 100 metres below surface level. Lars and Charley were guided from their private viewing booth overlooking the Gorun Stadium battle arena by a pleasant male servant who led the way quietly, though he continued smiling all the time.

They followed him through some deserted passageways and finally to a dead-end, where the servant pulled out a nondescript looking badge from his chest pocket and held up to the wall. When he did so, the wall slowly faded away like smoke and revealed a long and dark passageway with magical light sources lining the walls.
