Previously on Reclaiming Orathos

It's fight night in The Urina, the sewer arena beneath Port Quaybay — and we've got a new face. Silithane, a pale elf sword-mage, wakes in a cell with no memory beyond falling through a grate. The deal: fight to the death or rot. So he does the elegant thing — casts Sleep on Goopo, the beloved slime champion, and wins his freedom before a single punch lands. The crowd boos. We don't care.

The rest of the card is all ours. Lash "The Hammer" splatters the banjo prisoner and claims a green magic warhammer. Fenric drains a Shadow Priest dry of every spell slot and beats him dead. Magra and Ashlyn pull off a brutal 2-v-4 upset — soulbinds, vampire bites, the works. Silithane wins back his own sword, Sir Grape.

Around the carnage we free prisoners, convert gladiators to the Firebrand Church, run con jobs and courier letters. Laila, a dread-radiating stranger, slips out vowing to stow away on our boat.

And that boat to Orathos sails tomorrow night.

SUMMARY: An energetic present-tense player recap of Session 04's arena fight night, ending on the boat to Orathos departing tomorrow night.
