In the Pit
For a moment, a sudden conflagration of flame spread over the masked ninja's form, but it died just as suddenly as it'd come, disappearing in wisps of smoke.
And then, cutting through the black vapors wreathing the Paladin's form, was that terrible, serrated, pus spewing blade, stabbing Morgan in the gut, impaling her against the wall of the pit. A burst of blood and mucus erupted from her mouth, and the world disappeared in a haze of fear and pain.

By the Banners
The feathed hob trembled, terrified of both what he'd said, and what he couldn't say.
"I'm sorry milady," he pleaded, "but I manage the odds at this here Pit, and I hear the talk that flows through here, I'm no buyer or seller of Privateers! Buh-but! But I know who is! That I do! If you'll stay till after the games then I can arrange a meeting for you--"
He was cut off by an overpowering roar from the crowd, and the Hob's head jerked left and right towards the other banners, as quick and precise as any avian, and then hurried over to his own banner rope.
"Apologies, milady, but I must get prepared for the next bought, and pay out the winnings from this last match!"
Leaving
Mhairi Ankaa
a moment to look back towards the pit, and see the grisly remains of the contest...
Cups were swiftly brought and the Whiskey was poured, giving Green a chance to speak. And, the more he did, the more he noticed the finger in the scintillating robe to the side of the fat blob fixing her attention solely upon him and completely disregarding the fight. A pair of luminous eyes, brilliant and shining, the iris shifting impossibly from one color to the next, just as the lanterns within the market did, and for a moment, a brief moment, the Mountain felt himself being drawn into them before he brought his attention back to the fight in the Pit.
Just in time, he saw that pus slathered blade punch through the Paladin, erupting out her back and sticking deep into the wooden wall of the Pit. The Crowd erupted in a violent roar, as the Grub turned away from his spitted enemy and pulled his helm off once again, revealing his surprisingly hum drum farmer-crossed-with-bobcat features to the crowd once again.
"I FOUGHT TO SAVE MY LIFE!" he yelled out, his commander's voice penetrating the roar of the crowd, "BUT IF YOU SEEK A DEATH, SOMEONE BETTER DAMN WELL PAY ME FOR IT! NOW, CAN ANY OF YOU AFFORD IT?"
The roar died to a fierce murmur, and the being with those bewitching eyes waved a signal to the fat blob, which immediately rose and ponderously thudded towards the front of the booth, facing the crowd.
"Here ye, here ye," he wheezed out, the bookies by the banners loudly repeating his words so that they could be heard.
"In honor of the combat just fought, an auction will now be held. Buyers may bid on the life, or death, of the impaled one! Bids will start at two pounds of Rhoth flesh!"
"A whole Rhoth!" a Lost yelled form the crowd, her stitched, patch-work doll mouth yawning wide in a mad smile.
"Do you have anything to offer?" a mellifluous, enchanting voice asked beside Green, those Bewitching eyes once more staring at him. "I would strike a deal with you, if you are in...dire straights."
Everyone can present a bid! Int+occult to learn more about what to offer if you're feeling lost!
