The Heroes approach the gate, peering out between the bars. The arena was packed full of large walls, likely a maze of sorts. There were also cages along the outer perimeter containing creatures of all shapes and sizes. The one nearest them held a large bear, and the next contained a trio of snarling wolves. The Heroes assumed that contestants would likely have to enter the maze while searching for something, then after a brief time the creatures would be sent in after them.
Knowing this, the Heroes attempted to sneak through the bars and out into the arena itself. If they could figure out what it was they were to be looking for they would have a massive advantage over the competition. The Jester whispered into his hands, and then pulled apart two of the bars with surprising ease. Once they had slipped through, he returned the bars to their original position.

Climbing out of the pit, the Heroes examine the cages and cells surrounding them. Various creatures lay slumbering inside the largest cages, with some rough individuals sat inside the small cells. The area appeared to be a holding space for imprisoned combatants, as well as beasts that would fight in the arena. The Heroes carefully crept forward, not wanting to disturb the beast's slumber. A few of the imprisoned individuals stirred, noticing the Heroes but saying nothing. The Jester motions them forward, signaling he planned to stay behind and investigate.
They make their way around the area until they find a small door, carefully opening it. It creaks open to reveal a narrow, winding hallway leading up into the arena. Making their way forward, the Heroes are careful not to make any noise and blow their cover. Reaching the top of the stairs, they cautiously open another door. Before them was a long, wide hallway. At the far end was a row of benches followed by large, steel bars. The entrance to the fighting pits.

Episode 211 With Ruan Willow - Writing, Oh F--- Yeah Podcast, and NSFW Audiobooks

The Heroes crept through the damp tunnel, watching their step as they moved around rats and scraps of what could only be described as "debris" scattered about. A small stream of what they hoped was water flowed through the center of the tunnel, carrying with it a less than pleasant aroma. The air was damp and hung heavy over them, urging them forward to escape its embrace.
After far too long, the Heroes encountered the end of the tunnel, which deposited them into a large pit beneath what seemed like a dungeon. They climbed their way up, eventually emerging over the cusp of the pit to see they were faced with rows of cages and small cells.

Working their way around the perimeter of the arena, the Heroes searched for an alternative entry point that would be unguarded. Entry after entry had guards stationed at them, so sneaking in was proving to be difficult. After circling what seemed the entire arena, they eventually came to the water's edge at the docks. They looked around and spotted what appeared to be a drainage tunnel leading from under the arena into the bay.
The Jester hopped down into the water and peered into the darkness of the tunnel. He motioned back to the other Heroes and they prepared to follow him. The Jester muttered some words to himself, and blue flames sprung forth at the tips of his fingers. He carefully moved his hands across the bars to the tunnel, cutting them with the flames as his fingers passed. Eventually, the bars dropped into the muddy water and the path had been opened.

The Heroes asked around and were able to find out that the arena was near the edge of the city along the harbor. This was likely done to ease the arrival of warriors from afar via ships, as well as bring in exotic beasts for display. They made their way through the winding city once more, spotting various criers announcing the start of the tournament in just two days time.
The arena was easy to spot as they neared, with its towering walls climbing high into the sky. Merchants skittered about, making their preparations for the influx of travelers that would be passing by them en route to the main events. The Heroes walked up to one of the main entrances, attempting to make their way inside. They were stopped by a guard, informing them that no one was permitted to enter the arena before the tournament started. The Heroes took issue with this, but stepped away. They would find an alternative entrance.

The Swordsman Hero returned inside the orphanage to find that the female combatant had arrived. She nervously looked at the Heroes, awaiting their decision. The Heroes looked amongst themselves before the Swordsman Hero stepped forward. He informed her that they would take part in the tournament, though she would need to join them.
She leapt up and down excitedly, thanking the Heroes repeatedly. The children's faces lit up, and they began to talk emphatically amongst themselves. The female combatant explained the details of the tournament to the Heroes, and they left the orphanage. They walked back towards the main part of the city, and decided to scout out the arena.

The Swordsman Hero handed the small doll back to the small girl and looked around the area. Other than the roughly designed cemetery, the surrounding buildings were formed of cracked walls and constricting vines. It was quiet here, and very few people must have made the trek toward the edge of the city to get here. The scraps around the orphanage were likely from lost drunkards, or dropped by the children.
The Swordsman Hero turned and walked back through the alleyway from which he came. The small child stayed behind, gently placing the doll onto the ground. She said a small prayer, and then looked back towards the Hero as he walked away. Her watchful eyes didn't miss him gently drop a flower at the entrance.

The Swordsman Hero approached the small child and knelt down beside her. She turned to look up to him, and handed him a small doll. It was crudely constructed, made from scraps of cloth with broken buttons for eyes. It appeared to be stuffed with various bits of grass and weeds. He handed it back to the girl, and she gently placed it upon a freshly disturbed plot of dirt.
Looking around, the Swordsman Hero could see that the area was dotted with similar patches of dirt in various stages of regrowth. He didn't have to ask the child what this was - a small cemetery. There were no headstones or markers of any kind, only small dolls dotting each plot of dirt. There were at least a dozen of them, though the area was in enough disarray that it would be hard to know for sure.
