| #1MrCelsiusSep 23, 2008 11:35:11 | A while back I read something somewhere about a game enjoyed by the people of Droaam called (if memory serves) Six Stones. Seven competitors enter an arena with a basilisk, and when it's all done you have one victor and six stones. Trouble is, I can't remember where the hell I read about it! It's not an important question, but it's gnawing at me. Can anyone give me a hand, here? Thanks. |

I made up a bunch of stuff about the Hags sending criminals convicted of capital crimes to games of Six Stones in Graywall, where there is a huge arena built in the shape of a cockatrice's skull that the minflayer Governor of the city likes to watch. In order to get pardoned you have to win 3 games, dedicating one to each of the Hags. To a cheering crowd, every contestant is demanded to answer three questions: WHAT IS YOUR NAME? WHAT WAS YOUR CRIME? WHO DO YOU FIGHT FOR? Of course there is all sorts of betting going on, so taking a dive (if you have friends able to fix you later) can be extremely profitable, if extremely risky. |
