You feel yourself compelled to leave the room, beckoned by the will of a hideous
archdemon.
Along the south-eastern stands.
The bright sun shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth. Endless
rows of simple stone benches lead upwards to the outer wall, here, providing an
excellent view of the arena below. Unlike the grander stands surrounding them,
these are open to the weather, perhaps meant for the servants of the great
houses or simply the common citizens. The stone walkways between the rows have
been worn smooth by the passing shuffle of countless feet. A huge archdemon
looms here, surrounded by black mist. Standing as still as death, the Nil Grim
Horror's very presence here fills the room with despair.
You see exits leading north, southwest, west, and northwest.
