##If you've never played a 5e Role Playing Game before This game is uses the 5e SRD, a ruleset most commonly used to play Dungeons and Dragons. If you have never played a similar game or this edition, I invite you to try out <a href="https://sayeth.itch.io/the-saints-tomb">The Saint's Tomb,</a> my single-player game that teaches the basic rules. It's free and available in English and <a href="https://sayeth.itch.io/la-cripta-sagrada">Spanish</a>. ##If you have played 5e, but not a solo or GM-less game This game will handle telling the story and making most of your opponent's rolls. As in a table-top game, you will take care of your own character sheet, inventory, abilities, and hit points. You can make rolls with physical or off-site digital dice, whichever you prefer. At times, you'll want to do something that isn't specified in the game text. What to do then? You'll need to ask a question to the GM. "GM, can I . . " or "GM, would I know . . ." Pretend you're the GM. Determine if this ask is within the rules and doesn't break the game. Roll a d6. If you're asking for something that you think is unlikely, roll with disadvantage. If it's likely, roll with advantage. Consult the results of the d6 roll: 1=Absolutely not, 2-3 = No, but you could do something to a lesser degree with some penalty (pass a relevant ability check with DC of 4d6 or give your opponent advantage, for example.), 4-5 = Yes, but there's some consequence (the crowd boos you or the judges decide you only get half the prize money), 6=Yes ##Movement In this game, movement is restricted to the ground within the confines of a 40x40 foot fighting pit. You can take your movement before and/or after your action and bonus action. You'll use a map like the one below: (display: "Player move") P represents the player character (you), E represents the enemy, # is the walls of the fighting pit, and the dots are 5x5 ft squares. ''Each time you press a movement button, you move 5 ft.'' To move diagonally, the first diagonal movement counts as 5 feet, the second diagonal movement counts as 10 feet, then the third counts as 5 feet, and so on. On the enemy's turn, you'll be asked to make their moves. Follow the instructions the best you can, but act logically for the enemy's situation and mindset. (button:)[[Let's play->Start]] ---

##The Arena --- (if: visits is 1)[The smell. No place you've been has a smell quite like The Arena. As you walk through the door, you get a whiff of the odor of a unique mixture beer, sweat, blood and the kitchen's secret-recipe stew. <img src="Drawing.jpg"> At first, the smell is your only impression of the place, but then your eyes adjust to the interior. A charcoal drawing of men and beasts fighting in the Arena catches your eye above the bar. ]You look around. The bar is still sparse, but a few people have started to claim tables and stools around the Pit. A small group around the hearth is betting on a game of cards. A few tough-looking characters crowd around the signup sheets, adding their names to the list of those who will fight tonight. ''What would you like to do?''

##The Pit --- The Pit measures 40 feet by 40 feet. The floor is covered with bloodstained sawdust and sand. It lies about 6 feet below the level of the tavern floor. Around it, tiers of seats, along with a few tables for the wealthier patrons, give the crowd a good view of the action. The Pit itself is brightly lit with lanterns, though the lighting elsewhere is dim. <img src="Halfling.jpg" align="right"> Around and above the Pit, a coarse mesh of what looks like copper wire is strung between engraved metal pillars at each corner. Doors into fighting floor occupy opposite corners. A halfling carrying a lute almost as big as himself notices you looking at this contraption and pipes up. "Hello, there! That wire's what they call a 'Fair-as-day cage.' Keeps the fights fair, see? Those posts have arcane runes on them to keep outside magic from helping or harming the fighters inside the cage. They can still use magic //in// the cage, but can't get an unfair boost from an ally on the outside. The wire nets direct the posts' magic around the Pit and also keep spectators from throwing stuff at fighters." He smiles wryly. "And I suppose it keeps us from getting hurt from the fight inside!" "Are you fighting tonight? Well, Lady Fortune be with you. I'll make sure to put down a few coins on your name." [[Return to the bar->Start]] ---

<img src="DnD_Elven.png" align="right">An official-looking elf stands near the sign-up sheet. "Hey there!" she calls out to you. "My name's Aurora, I handle humanoid participants around here. If you're looking to fight, sign up under the rank that you think fits you best. Higher ranks bring more rewards. Each competition rank is three fights, back to back.

{ (set: $HP to 13) (set: $positionX to 2) (set: $positionY to 2) (set: $oppX to 9) (set: $oppY to 9) } ##Novice --- "Hey $name," Aurora calls out. "The novice rank starts right away! You gotta get done before the main events start." She ushers you to the door into the Pit. As you step out onto the floor, the tiers above you are still mostly empty. However, one section above the opposite corner is shrouded in an unnaturally deep darkness. You feel a gaze from that black cloud fall upon you. On the floor of the opposite corner lies a quivering mound of misshapen flesh. The vaguely human face is twisted in a rictus of suffering. Its stumplike arms flail aimlessly as pus-smeared eyes lock onto your movement. " . . . and in this corner . . " With your fixation on your strange opponent, you completely missed Aurora's introduction of you. "Hailing from the darkest depths of the infernal planes," she continues, "is a le-mur-ray! This damned soul has been entered into the combat by its master, Baron Malgoth. So, without further ado, FIGHT!" ''Roll initiative '' (set: $init to ((random: 1, 20) - 3)) If your initiative roll is higher than or equal to $init, [[you go first->Vs Lemure]].

{ (set: $HP to 7) (set: $positionX to 2) (set: $positionY to 2) (set: $oppX to 9) (set: $oppY to 9) } ##Low Level --- After a bit of waiting around, you are ushered to a door in the cage surrounding the Pit and onto the sawdust-covered floor. Aurora steps into an announcer's booth at the side of the fighting ring. "Next up, we have $name fighting against something that Stewie pulled out of our storage cellar, gnawing on our potatoes. Stewie! Bring it on out!" A man wearing a heavy leather apron hauls out something the size of a medium-sized dog. The head of the creature is covered in a sackcloth bag, while the other end consists of a long, hairless tail. The creature is uncerimoniously dumped into the sawdust-covered floor on the other side of the arena and its improvised muzzle falls off to reveal the long incisors of a giant rat. The rodent's hair is matted and black, with brown hairless paws ending in sharp nails. Its eyes blink, adjusting to the light, then focus on you. ''Roll initiative '' (set: $init to ((random: 1, 20) + 2)) If your initiative roll is higher than or equal to $init, [[you go first->Vs Rat]]. If your initiative roll is lower than $init, [[you go second->Rat's turn]]. ---

{ (set: $HP to 13) (set: $positionX to 2) (set: $positionY to 2) (set: $oppX to 9) (set: $oppY to 9) } ##Intermediate --- The crowd cheers your entrance. Aurora's magically amplified voice rings out across the Arena: "Everybody, welcome $name to the Arena! For this fight, 4 gold pieces go to the winner. Tonight we're hosting a classic man-versus-beast matchup. In the opposite corner, we have a challenger from deep within the jungles, a ''jaguar''!" <img src="Jag1.jpeg" align="right"> The door on the opposite corner opens. A spotted jaguar trots out, eyeing at the crowd to either side. At it paces back and forth around its end of the ring, its sleek muscles ripple beneath the black and gold fur. The magestic cat faces you and crouches down into a predatory stance. Maybe it's just your imagination, but it looks like the jaguar just winked at you. (link: "Roll a Wisdom (Animal Handling) check. If the result is equal to or greater than 15, you notice something odd.")[This supposedly wild animal seems to not be disturbed by the carnival-like atmosphere of the Arena. It's almost like it knows what's going on.] ''Roll initiative '' (set: $init to ((random: 1, 20) + 2)) If your initiative roll is higher than or equal to $init, [[you go first->Vs Jaguar]]. If your initiative roll is lower than $init, [[you go second->Jaguar's turn]]. ---

As it closes its cataract-ridden eyes, a cloud of acrid smoke fills the Pit. An enormous Horned Devil appears out of the smoke, though how it bypassed the magic wards, you're not certain. <img src="devil.png" width="200" align="right"> The devil spreads its batlike wings and scoops up the lemure in its clawed hands. "Do not expire yet, little one! I have so much more pain and humiliation in store for you. The ignomy of defeat at the hands of this worm is nothing compared to the plans for your next torture." He disappears with the lemure in another burst of smoke. You can make a ''Wisdom (Religion)'' check. (link: "If you get higher than DC 12 you gain some insight into these events.")[You recall that high-ranking devils punish the souls of those whom they have entrapped by transforming them into lumures and subjecting them to various tortures. Apparently, you were the instrument of torture for this unfortunate soul.] Aurora tentatively steps out onto the Pit foor. "Well, that was . . . different," she begins. "$name, you win 2 silver for that, um, fight. I think we're all in need of a good laugh after that. And you're in luck, because this next creature is known for bringing the laughter." A door opens on the opposite side of the Pit and a hyena trots out. You hear a harsh voice from the crowd giving commands in what sounds like the gnoll language. In response, the hyena turns toward you and lets out its eerie laugh-like call. ''Roll initiative '' (set: $init to ((random: 1, 20) + 1)) If your initiative roll is higher than or equal to $init , [[you go first->Vs hyena]].

<img src="priest.jpeg" align="right">You feel the warmth of healing magic as come back to conciousness under the gaze of a sallow-looking priest. You restore (print: (random: 1,8) + 2) points of health. Aurora looks over his shoulder at you and shakes her head. "Nice try out there, sport," she offers. "These are the weakest opponents we have. Maybe pit fighting isn't for you. If you're determined to try again, maybe get some better equipment or more experience. Anyway, you've made a total of $SP silver." She hands you the coins.

A voice in the crowd curses loudly in some tongue that you struggle to recognize. (link: "Make an Intelligence check plus the number of languages you know.

The jaguar falls to the ground and lies still. As the crowd starts to cheer, a transformation comes over the apparently lifeless body, silencing the audience. The paws and legs of the cat form into human hands, feet, arms and legs. The feline face rounds out into the face of a man and the spots on the fur fade into intricate tatoos. Within a few moments, a man lies where the beast once was. <img src="Koa.png" align = "right"> To your astonishment, the man gets up and smiles at you. "Thank you!" he beams. He leads you off the floor of the Pit and back to the combatants' ready room. "My name is ''Koa''; I am a druid. I had transformed into a jaguar to fight some followers of the snake god, but got stuck in this form after I triggered a trap in the snake god's jungle temple. Although the precepts of my circle prevent me from intentionally harming myself in animal form, I was able to get myself captured. You defeating me in combat allowed me to return to my human form." Koa reaches into a belt pouch and removes a dark grape-sized seed. "Here. This comes from our sacred grove. If you ever get lost in a forest, eat this seed and the trees will help you find your way." He gives you a ''Seed of the Wild''. //You can re-roll a Nature or Survival check by consuming this seed. This seed can only be used once.// As you study the seed, Koa slips away without a sound.

If you have proficiency in card games or Three Dragon Ante, you can add your proficiency bonus to any of these rolls as a replacement for the skill proficiency. If adding your gaming proficiency to the Card Draw, you add the proficiency to the sum of the d10's, representing your knowledge of the likilhood of different hands. (link-reveal: "If you want to cheat")[, you can roll Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) to sneak an extra card to yourself in the deal. If you get equal to or greater than 15, you cheat undetected.

As the gnoll falls to you, you see in his eyes not a look of defeat, but of gratitude. Later, after the Arena's cleric has revived him, Ack'grr gives you a respectful nod, then gathers up his things and leaves. Meanwhile, Aurora is hyping up your victory and thanking the sponsorer of the fight, Cheverton Jewelry. As you leave, you receive 20 GP from the previous fights and a certificate printed on fine paper in silver ink: (border: "solid")[The bearer of this certificate is entitled to one of the following: * A silver necklace or pair of silver bracelets worth 50 gp, or * Plating in silver of one simple melee weapon with the light property, or * Plating in silver of three pieces of ammunition This certificate must be redeemed in person at Cheverton Jewelry within one year.] You walk out into the night, a bit richer, to try to figure out where exacly Cheverton Jewelry is located. =><= (icon-restart:"Start again?")
