Layla wakes up laying in the Med bay- unfamiliar with where she is she sits up quickly, frantically looking around her for the Dove, It hops over next to her and flaps it's wings landing in her lap, nestling there. She gets up and puts the bird on her shoulder, allowing it to burrow in her hair. She attempts to walk past the counter, pausing slightly to ensure she doesn't need to check out or anything.

"I'd be up for another battle." Layla nodded at the medic and brought her hand up to the bird patting it's head. "Is there a place to purchase things around the Arena, or no...?" She smiled lightly at the medic.

"Toren hits, and throws a second attack! That floating sword cuts him! Viator attacks, misses! Zævrt strikes the blow is deflected! I don't know how much more these guys can take!"
Toren hits the true Zævrt, then misses another. Viator's sword scores a hit. Toren dodges Viator's axe. Zævrt strikes, but the blow doesn't penetrate Toren's magical defences.
"Wonderful. I can't wait to explore." Layla smiles at the medic once more and leaves, going off to explore the town until time for her battle- Mayhaps a bit of light armor shall fall her way.

The medic responds, "You got hit a couple times by that monk, before you got a shot off. Seemed you had the oportunity to act, but it passed quickly. Are you going to join in the next battle?"

The woman standing in front of you looks behind her to see if you are talking to someone else. Who addresses a total stranger this way? She leans forward a bit and says, "You can make some money if you don't mind getting your face kicked in. Mind your manners and folks might tolerate you long enough to see that happen." She hands you some forms. "Fill these out and you can fight in the morning."
Early the next morning new competitors are brought out to warm up with a fight.
Victory will be achieved when... 3... All opponents are defeated. Every 30 seconds a new enemy will enter the arena. Take your opponents out before you get whittled down.
The time: 3... It's still dark. The sun isn't yet ready to start its day.
Little fanfare this early in the morning. The head medic is out on the field. "I just want to make sure you're all fit to fight. So I set up this match to gauge your strengths."
"Who've we got? Baryk Greycastle. You managed to win your first battle, but I thought I'd bring you out just the same."
"Ezekiel Oakheart. You seem acrobatic enough. You're not the first to fight without armor out here. If that suits you let's see what you can do."
"Gewonnt. Don't see a lot of bird-folk around. Hollow bones and such. You sure you're up for this?"
"Kromgrum. You're probably in the right place. A giant with a booming voice? What's that? a horn? You'll do fine."
"And the lovely Layla Madan. You went down to the first shot yesterday. Maybe you were just unfortunate."
"You'll be up against training drones. Work together and maybe you'll all come out unscathed."
(Anyone else joining this fight, let me know before everyone else has rolled initiative.)
In the center of the battle field a tall marble tower stands in a well maintained garden surrounded by marble halls. Steps lead down into the garden from the surrounding halls, and a few more steps go down into the base of the tower. Within the tower are a pair of wooden dais.

A bedraggled bird-like creature walks into the stands, its brilliant head plumage let down by the rather drab feathers on its body.
After looking around and finding someone who looks vaguely important, he says in a rather mean voice:
"Hey you! I heard you can get enough gold here to pay for food for weeks! Is that true?"
