Preliminary #1 (Merchant's Quarter)

[Nightmare Zero]

The Merchant's Quarter is a long alley between the Arena and the main barracks. It follows the shape of the barracks in an L-shaped pattern. Normally it is full of peddlers selling their wares, men in armor looking at high priced weapons, but it is oddly quiet today, half of the shops are closed with iron gates across doors and merchandise is missing from open-air stalls. Looking around, Paer realizes that there are many places he, or anyone, could hide. This isn't the only place the others can be, is it? Paer looks at the sky, Should be starting soon so where is everyone? Just as he thought it 3 men come around the bend. 2 are in heavy armor, the third is only lightly armored. As they come around they see Paer and halt. For a while they seem to be arguing amongst themselves then one in heavy armor and hold a poleaxe moves towards Paer, but before he could get 10 feet.......
