The Upper Caverns

1. Great Cavern

This is where the characters are left by the gladiators. The iron door to the south through which they think they came is locked, and there is no
keyhole (or any other feature) on the cavern side. As mentioned previously, here lies a collection of items left for the party members to
improve their chances of survival. It includes five torches, a day's water (but no food), plus weapons and armor.

Yalag, Ftr9: CR 9; Medium Humanoid (Orc); HD 9d10+10; hp 100; Init +4; Spd 30 ft., 20 ft. (Armored); AC 17, touch 10, flat-footed 15, (+5

Gladiators (4), Ftr4: CR 4; Medium Humanoid (Human); HD 4d10+8; hp 30; Init +6; Spd 30 ft., 20 ft. (Armored); AC 17, touch 10, flat-footed 15,

Disarm, Improved Initiative, Weapon Focus (Gladius).
Possessions: Gallic Armor, Gladius, Parma

2. Fungus Chamber

A light gray mushroom-like fungus growth covers much of this area. The passages north of this chamber all slant downward slightly and smell
damp past the high water mark. The Fungus here is nutritious. The characters are suffering from starvation (1 Non-Lethal damage and
fatigued), eating the fungus will alleviate their starvation.

3. Bridge

The underground river is here crossed by a bridge of Thyatian construction. Treacherous footing and a sheer rise at CC makes upstream travel
hazardous, and those going northward (down) risk an unknown fate. When the Coliseum is drained, water will fill this level to the high water
marks; note that the passages east of the bridge slant sharply upward.

4. Graffiti

Scratched here on the wall, in clear, modern letters is; "Vanya save us from the beasts."

5. The Ring

Treasure: Examination of a glint of light reveals a gold ring (worth 10 gp) lying on the ground. It is engraved with unknown markings (shadow
elf). Characters who know the elvish tongue have a 50% chance of being able to puzzle out a pronunciation. The word itself, "Aegluvion," makes
no sense (it's a name, actually). The ring has no magical powers; it was dropped here accidentally by shadow elf explorers.

6. Corpse

A horribly mutilated corpse, human or at least humanoid (one can't tell for sure in its state of decay), is sprawled here; rotting and bloated, it
lies face down in a small, stagnant pool. On it can be found a silver dagger, 3 lucins (gp) and 4 asterii sp.

7A-F. Routes Downward

Only the foolish would ignore Yalag's advice and travel deeper into the bowels of the Known World, and the passages slant downward sharply
here. Discourage players from going in this direction by describing foul odors or intimidating sounds wafting up from below. As a last resort, a
difficult encounter or two can be used:
Basilisk: CR 5; Medium Magical Beast; HD 6d10+12; hp 45; Init -1; Spd 20 ft.; AC 16, touch 9, flat-footed 16, (-1 Dex, +7 natural); BAB +6; Grap
+8; Atk Bite +8 melee (1d8+3); Full Atk Bite +8 melee (1d8+3); SA Petrifying Gaze; SQ Darkvision 60 ft., Low-Light Vision; AL N; SV Fort +9, Ref
+4, Will +3; Str 15, Dex 8, Con 15, Int 2, Wis 12, Cha 11
Skills & Feats: Hide +0*, Listen +7, Spot +7; Alertness, Blind-Fighting, Great Fortitude.
Petrifying Gaze (Su): Turn to stone permanently, range 30 feet, Fortitude DC 13 negates.
Skills: The basilisk’s dull coloration and ability to remain motionless for long periods give it a +4 racial bonus to Hide Checks in
natural surroundings.

Minotaur: CR 4; Large Monstrous Humanoid; HD 6d8+12; hp 39; Init +0; Spd 30 ft.; AC 14, touch 9, flat-footed 14, (-1 size, +5 natural); BAB +6;
Grap +14; Atk Greataxe +9 melee (3d6+6/x3) or Gore +9 melee (1d8+4); Full Atk Greataxe +9 melee (3d6+6/x3) and Gore +9 melee (1d8+4); SA
Powerful Charge 4d6+6; SQ Darkvision 60ft., Natural Cunning, Scent; AL CE; SV Fort +10, Ref +6, Will +6; Str 19, Dex 10, Con 15, Int 7, Wis 10,
Cha 8
Skills & Feats: Intimidate +2, Listen +7, Search +2, Spot +7; Great Fortitude, Power Attack, Track
Powerful Charge (Ex): A Minotaur typically begins a battle by charging at an opponent, lowering its head to bring its mighty horns
into play. In addition to the normal benefits and hazards of a charge, this allows the beast to make a single gore attack with a +9 attack bonus
that deals 4d6+6 points of damage.
Natural Cunning (Ex): Although a Minotaur is not especially intelligent; they possess innate cunning and logical ability. This gives
them immunity to maze spells, prevents them from ever becoming lost, and enables them to track enemies. Further, they are never caught flat-
footed.
Skills: Minotaurs have a +4 racial bonus on Search, Spot, and Listen checks.

The Lower Basement

This level is used much less than it was in the past. Guards sleep in barracks in the upper basement, and only prisoners who require solitary
confinement (which is rare) are placed in cells here. The storage rooms are still used, however; they contain provisions, weapons and armor.

8. Skeleton and Iron Door

The iron door is featureless on this side, like the door in area 1. Lying next to it is a human skeleton, in gladiator armor; an initiate who failed
the test years ago. No valuables remain.

9. Gladiator Guard Post

This door normally is locked, but now is left ajar on the expectation of the initiates' return. Two gladiators are posted here as guards against
monsters from the depths, and to welcome the initiates when they return.

Gladiators (2), Ftr4: CR 4; Medium Humanoid (Human); HD 4d10+8; hp 30; Init +6; Spd 30 ft., 20 ft. (Armored); AC 17, touch 10, flat-footed 15,
(+5 Samnite Armor, +2 Scutum); BAB +4; Grap +7; Atk Gladius +7 melee (1d6+3/19-20x2); Full Atk Gladius +7 melee (1d6+3/19-20x2); AL N; SV
Fort +6, Ref +3, Will +1; Str 16, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 10, Wis 10, Cha 12
Skills and Feats: Intimidate +8, Ride +9, Perform (Weapon Drill) +10; Blind-Fight, Combat Expertise, Combat Reflexes, Improved
Disarm, Improved Initiative, Weapon Focus (Gladius).
Possessions: Gallic Armor, Gladius, Parma

10. Underground Stream

This underground stream has a spring source, and it is also fed by the Coliseum's reservoir. Thus, when there are heavy rains or if the arena is
filled with water that is then drained (say, after a mock naval battle), this stream swells. It sometimes floods area 3 of the Upper Caverns; on
this level, however, the passage is high above the stream's level. At CC, the stream enters the Upper Caverns (Map 4), and from EE it runs to
a large drain in the upper basement of the Coliseum.

11. Unused Cells

These cells were used in the days when criminals were regularly thrown to wild beasts and monsters for the entertainment of crowds in the
Coliseum, They are now deserted and locked away; a couple contains skeletons, but that is all. No one goes to the cells north of the guard
barracks at all.

12. Guard Barracks

These rooms are now unused.

13. Storage

These rooms are currently empty

Success
When (or if) the party emerges alive from the caverns, they are led by the gladiators posted to guard the entry point up through the basements,
to the meeting place of the gladiators. There Yalag addresses them.

"You have done well, Initiates; you are hereby inducted into the ranks of the Coliseum gladiators. You may have heard of the Order of the
Sands, a group that protects the rights and interests of gladiators. Here in the capital, the order has a secret, higher purpose: the protection
of Thyatis City from the beasts from below. This purpose has been secret from its beginning; it keeps a peace, an unspoken truce, by which
neither we of the surface nor they of the depths will invade the other. Our Emperor, Thincol, was himself a gladiator and he knew this secret,
and has kept it all his years on the throne. In the past not all gladiators here have been initiated; it was not necessary. But of late there has
been increasing trouble from below, and there has been weakness among us. We do not know the causes of these troubling things; we know
only that we must muster every resource to uphold our duty and keep our silence. We must now swear you, too, to secrecy. You are slaves,
but as gladiators you now are our equals, with honor and binding word. We would also ask you to take an oath to uphold our mission of
protection, even unto death."

Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level and higher, a rogue can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful
Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used
only if the rogue is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless rogue does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Penetration Strike (Ex): Whenever you flank a creature that is immune to extra damage from sneak attacks, you still deal extra
damage equal to half your normal sneak attack dice. This benefit does not apply against creatures that cannot be flanked, nor against foes that
are otherwise denied their Dexterity bonus to AC or flat-footed but not flanked.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Starting at 4th level, a rogue can react to danger before her senses would normally allow her to do so. She
retains her Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if she is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, she still loses her Dexterity
bonus to AC if immobilized.
