There was a Lich in the arena.
Marcellus blinked, and then blinked again. Rotting teeth, check. Ribs showing off under leathery skin, check. Green glowing eyes, check.
Oh, shit.
Also, there was a giant in there, a couple of rough-looking humans, probably werewolves, by the stench of them. An elf, who looked out of place. And the dwarven guild master of the adventurer's guild. The guild master never told them his name, despite taking their money for the protection of the dungeon.
Marcellus made his way to him, as the crowd booed.
"What is this? A vampire? We wanted to see the royals battle it out, not all these mobs," he heard someone yell. This was by far the kindest thing that was said about them.
"Mobs? Who are you calling mobs? Dwarves are no mobs!" The guild master yelled, brandishing his two-handed hammer. Marcellus cleared his throat, and the dwarf turned to him.
