Undertown Middle of May, 2946 T.A. Fosco and Radril found themselves in a dark chamber half filled with water. Trapped in floating cages, the two discovered they were not alone in this strange prison. Their old friend Skari the assassin was there. He vowed revenge against Kynoden and is obsessed with getting back the eye the crime boss ripped from his head. There was also an orc named B’nash there and one of Skari’s young ruffians named Masiff who was cowering in the corner. One cage held a rat gnawed corpse. Lifted up from the chamber by long chains, the two adventurers met Hauz, a burly Easterner tasked with training them to fight in “the Red Pools” of Undertown—the name of Laketown’s shadow self below the platforms of the city. They learned that they will be fighting something called the Nangula. Apparently, this is some sort of aquatic creature since much of the training involved fighting in the water with a specially trained (or tortured) orc Grisha. As the weeks rolled on, Hauz seemed to warm to the two strange gladiators—Pointy Ears and Little Man, and shared some valuable information on the Red Pools. The fights themselves are some sort of religious act for instance, and as the fight goes no, the celebrants will throw blood into the water to drive the Nangula into a frenzy. When the fight is over, left over part of slain fighters are then thrown back into the stands to be consumed by the congregation. Hauz also revealed that one of the Nangula’s favored tactics is to try and drag its victim down into the water with its powerful jaws.
