Competition Protection

Event: The Labyrinth · 27 March 2025

Ref — briefing

Hello, gladiator! I hear you're interested in those health resort cellars. I'll be honest, the idea was a good one, I might even revisit it later... But at this moment, it's not the right time for the Labyrinth. So I'm not gonna tell you anything about it, sorry. If you want to go to the entry site on your own and rummage through the garbage left there, I won't stop you. But without the access keycard, you can't get inside the Labyrinth. That's where our interests align. One of my gladiators has been getting a little starstruck lately. He thinks that nobody can beat his arena performance, and wants to up his salary. Even took to blackmailing me, the bastard! However, it's not profitable to just outright take him out of the fights. I want to show him that there are no indispensable people, and to do that, we need to make some noise in the Arena. Hopefully that'll bring this guy to his senses. You're a capable fighter, and I'll make you a fair deal: if you can get on the Arena's best gladiator ranks, I'll help you with the keycards to the Labyrinth. You up for it?

On completion

Ref: You turned out to be a real dark horse... The results are remarkable. Not everyone can pull this off. I'll unlock one of the keycard stashes for you. But be aware that this is a very special item, and I'm not going to give it to you for free. One more thing. Arena rewards the best gladiators, and you clearly have potential. If you get tired of scavenging the ruins and want real glory, you know where to find me.
