An arena superfan at the Gwyndinas Colosseum — foam-fingered and merch-draped, between shifts at his day job, there to scout future big names. A walking encyclopedia of the fighting scene and a valuable first contact for any group looking to compete. Lash milked him (a persuasion 21 with advantage) for the full rundown of the arena's borderline-champion teams.

Session 12

• Briefed the party on the top teams: Duke Cephalus's mainland Atollian gladiators (near-undefeated, spectacle-focused, fight the open Central Arena); the Venatori of Veilwood (leaderless ambush predators who target weak members, fight the trap-and-height arena); and the cheating Varian team (an illusionist with ~20 copies, accused of poisoning locker rooms and hiding gear).
• Detailed the Colosseum's biomes (sandy/open, lava with permanent death risk, woodland, mountainous, defunct riverside, height-layered pits) and warned off the gauntlet's "Sleepy Joe" — not sleepy, named Derek, and huge.
