The first day in imprisoment was queter than expected. Much to the joy of the Wolves. The most significant events of the day included a physics lection by Legate the Ranger lvl. 17 and Nogrod the Dwarf from Nogrod (who was the first to wake from the revelation made by Sauron) trying to create something as subtle as a productive discussion with a sledge-hammer. Only Nogrod seemed to learn from Legate’s lesson, and he himself couldn’t manage to convince everybody that voting is a good idea. This day was a victory of the pessimists.
In the evening three more ships arrived and three more great warriors found themselves trapped in the golden temple. A Little Green Man mastered his fear of the Sun and Moon and his toes turning red and joined the discussion. So did Rikae the lover of retired Wolf Macalaure, who was living his life quite happily at his own private castle somewhere hidden in the mountains (he was, quite obviously, no longer a threat). Isabellkya joined the discussion last of the three and managed to stay away from the chaos that was slowly building.
It might be said that the three newcomers took the places of Sally, Kath and Gil-Galad who didn’t bother to say a word during the whole day. One answer to this might be that they were too busy sharpening their weapons, just like Ugh-Friedrich the host who was preparing speeches, being a host and all.
As the Sun came down completely (and ironically Nogrod would have been dead if this were any other day but today and to think that voting was his idea more than anyone's...), doors were opened into inner chambers of the temple, of for each of the warriors. None had to be asked twice (or even once) if they wanted to sleep. Insomnia didn’t keep a single person awake that night. Not even the Wolves, who were still too unorganized to go killing anybody.

Ugh-Friedrich entered the balcony and took out his notes. The crowd cheered wildly and it made Ugh-Friedrich ajust his earplugs before he started to speak. A microphone was brought up to him by a slave.
”Welcome to the greatest event that has ever taken place on Númenor (which I would like to thank sincerely for sponsoring all of this)! It is awesome to see so many of you here today. I hope you’re having fun!” He lifted his brows and paused for a mere second. *YES* ”Just as I thought!
”As most of you know by now, the competitions will last 15 battle-filled days. The first stage has seven days in it. Three gladiators will fight to one’s death. That means that seven will die. The next stage will also last seven days and seven more will die then. The last, and most interesting part will be the 15th day of the event when all the seven remaining warriors will be sent to battle at the same time. Only one will stand alive after that. And it will be the first Man-” *DWARF!* ”- or Dwarf-” *WOMAN* ”- yes, yes, or woman (although Man does include woman, you know…) to ever be blessed by immortality. For that is indeed the one and only prize here!” Pause. ”Immortality!” *loads of clapping and shouting*
”Today three mighty warriors will fight!” Pause. ”One shall die.” Pause. ”Two shall live.” Pause. ”Will it be that one of them will become immortal?” Pause. ”They risk their lives to-”
”Get on with it!” somebody shouted from the audince.
Ugh-Friedrich felt his knees tremble as he was distracted from his notes. ”Ummm….” He began. ”Oh yes: Legate of Amon Lanc! Meneltarmacil the Mooseslayer! Valier of 27 Mysteries!”
