DragonRealms, end of the Kasine's Gauntlet, Hollow Eve 417

>
You peer southeast and see ...

[Kasine's Gauntlet, The Pit]
High overhead, a large skylight rests between the wide metal beams.  The air is filled with the pungent smell of sweat and stale blood, leaving a coppery taste briefly lingering on the pallet with every deep breath drawn.  Flowers, coins and various other trinkets rain down to the arena floor from the stands above, thrown in support of the fighters brave enough to challenge the gauntlet.  A mix of rusty streaks and scorch marks cover the walls of the pit, signs of the vicious battles waged in the past.
You also see an arena cabalist that is surrounded by a shimmering shield, a bronze coin, an arena bone wyvern and a large chunk of coral.
Obvious exits: southwest, west, northwest.

[Kasine's Gauntlet, The Pit]
High overhead, a large skylight rests between the wide metal beams.  The air is filled with the pungent smell of sweat and stale blood, leaving a coppery taste briefly lingering on the pallet with every deep breath drawn.  Flowers, coins and various other trinkets rain down to the arena floor from the stands above, thrown in support of the fighters brave enough to challenge the gauntlet.  A mix of rusty streaks and scorch marks cover the walls of the pit, signs of the vicious battles waged in the past.

[Kasine's Gauntlet, The Pit]
High overhead, a large skylight rests between the shiny metal beams.  In the direct center of the pit, a wide circular pillar splits the bloodstained loam of the arena floor.  Its cracked marble surface is covered in a tangle of spikes wrapped in several layers of rusted barbed wire.  Several lumps in the uneven surface of the arena floor betray the presence of a few curiously shaped objects hidden just below the copious layers of sawdust and dirt.

[Kasine's Gauntlet, Treasure Room]
Polished to a sheen, the walls hold brightly colored banners of blue and green.  An extra-long banner stretches across the west wall and reads, 'You Survived Kasine's Gauntlet!'  A plush blue rug with red edging covers the metal floor and holds two silversteel tables in its exact center.
Obvious exits: east.
