Welcome to Update 1.17!
Timtim looked out of the tunnel entrance and into the stands as the sound of the crowd rumbled all around. He turned back to the group with a grin and sad, "This isn't like it used to be - there are a lot of people watching. "
Gix gulped. He'd managed to survive rather a lot so far, which was no small feat when keeping company with Timtim. Being trampled to death by an unruly crowd was not an option he'd previously considered as a way to die, however.
Sigrid hefted her hammer onto her shoulder. "Well, if they're here for a show then let's give 'em one."
"Tea first," a high voice said from behind her. They all turned their gaze to the tiny, elderly woman standing there leaning on her cane. "It does keep me spry, you know."
"Yes, tea would be lovely," agreed a dark skinned woman seated atop a giant lizard.
Sigrid nodded. "Then it's settled. First the tea, then the smashing of opponents."
