An enormous set of double doors lead into a torchlit passage beyond. About fifteen feet within the hall, on the left, stands a sturdy wooden door. Across the hall is another open passage leading east, curving with the contours of the battle market. The central hall proceeds perhaps fifty feet before opening into a large well-lit cavernous chamber that seems to be centered around a huge circular stage. Various stalls line the outer walls of the Market, many of them occupied by somewhat unfriendly looking folks.The battle market’s four entry halls lead into a huge arena-like room dominated by a massive circular wooden stage, its surface smeared and sticky with blood. Two rows of terraced benches surround the stage, which is bathed in natural light from a large open circular hatch in the citadel’s roof far above. Torches illuminate a darkened gallery of compact market stalls in the eastern half of the first floor’s inner wall. A raised platform along the northwest curve of the inner wall sports four round tables, several wooden chairs, and a long bar stocked with numerous bottles of distilled spirits.About twenty feet above is an open balcony, beyond which lie a series of small rooms on an upper floor of the market. Several rows of empty bleachers peer down from the edge of the balcony. Twenty feet above the second floor a half-circle balcony marks the highest of the citadel’s terraces. Three thrones look down from this vantage, each positioned to give a commanding view of not only the stage below but the entire market.Kardswann tried to have us fight but I had a feeling that might not be the best choice for our first night there.While there we saw perhaps 20 other gnolls that group to patrol at different times, 3 humans who were trying to do a business selling their wares in there - one of them selling addictive stuff (you can tell from his tone Tsadok does not like this one bit) and a we also saw three bugbears at their tavern, what they do for Kardswann we can't say for sure."OOC - Mike did, we see ANY other creatures inside, human or otherwise?</blockquote>
