[QUOTE="DrunkonDuty, post: 3934420, member: 54364"] Grimbold's Bear Baiting Pit A centre of animal blood sports in the city. The crowds are raucous and cruel and the betting is fierce. As a centre of gambling it is of course under the constant eye of the Blackhand who control the gambling here. Grimbold is a middle ranking member of the guild and is not above fixing matches by slipping drugs into the animals' food. Complaints about fixed matches are dealt with by Grimbold's staff of very large enforcers. Although Bear (and other creatures) Baiting is legal Grimbold and the Guild also use the pit as a front for the more sinister human blood sports. These matches take place without a regular schedule: news of them is spread by word of mouth among the "in" crowd. Occasionally Grimbold will test out a regular at the bear baiting matches and decide whether or not they might want to join the crowd. The matches are usually death matches, with competitors ranging from professional gladiators to wanna-be's to unlucky victims who have fallen foul of the Blackhand. In fact quite a few squealers and double-crossers have ended their days begging for mercy on the arena floor. Human/Animal matches are also big crowd pleasers. [/QUOTE]
