Winnings from the Shadow Pit

After months of navigating the seedy underbelly of a city whose nobles prefer the secrecy of the illegal arena to formal sport, the party emerges victorious from the infamous Shadow Pit. Though no monsters barred their way, the prize pool is a mixture of coins and spoils collected from desperate gamblers, disgraced nobles, and unscrupulous arena masters desperate to keep the event under wraps. The treasure reflects the dark and dangerous nature of the fights—heavy pockets of coin, a few finely crafted but unregistered weapons, and some rare tokens from previous champions used as betting chips or keepsakes.
