A huge bulletin is posted up on the noticeboard.
THE BARBARIAN PRINCESS VS. THE BLACK KNIGHT
Come one, come all! Two glorious battlers, both new in town, are here to make their name and fortunes as gladiators! Who will prevail? The young, strong barbarian princess, or the hardened and mysterious black knight? The fight will continue until one fighter gets the other in a position where they can no longer battle.
The fight will begin around five o'clock on Wednesday evening. The entry fee is four coppers. The arena is just south of town, a few minutes' walk from the town hall.
Come place your bets with Lord Zazeal Smokestep from now until the fight begins.
And remember,
there will be blood...
