Turn 0The portal at the bottom floor of the arena fluctuates, and spits out 10 multicolored blobs. The blobs take a moment, then vanish to reveal the combatants that were within the blobs.
In clockwise order from the northernmost, the combatants were John Dee, Robert, David, Johnsmith, Owain Dark, CorkyMoran, Thrakor, Steve, Khaziraad, and Fred Jones.
Besides their initial confusion regarding their location, or even their role in this arena, they took in each other, and viewed their surroundings with caution.
A voice crackled from an unseen intercom.
"Welcome viewers and contestants to the *static* season of Perplexicon Apocalypse!

Second Floor
╔══════════╗ ╔══════════╗NW Room: The Jungle Room
║ <║ ║> ║The whole place is overgrown, the stone of the
║ ║ ║ ║floor is cracked and decayed. Great trees pierce
║ ║ ║ ║the roof, themselves covered with moss.
║ ║ ║ ║Movement is restricted by the vines and vegitation,
║ ║ ║ ║and a lot of wild birds reside here.
║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ║NE Room: The Ocean Room
║ ║ ║ ║An air bubble surounds each staircase, but the
║> ║ ║ <║whole room is otherwise filled with water.
╚══════════╝ ╚══════════╝Besides the fish swimming around, the notable
features include a sandy floor (and roof), and
a coral formation on the walls. Anenomes and
seaweed make up the flora here.
╔══════════╗ ╔══════════╗
║< ║ ║ >║SW Room: The Polar Room
║ ║ ║ ║The walls are coated with ice, the floor knee deep
║ ║ ║ ║with snow. A constant wind whips up the snow into
║ ║ ║ ║a flurry, limiting visibility. There is no native
║ ║ ║ ║fauna, and flora is limited to a small amount of moss.
║ ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ║ ║SE Room: The Desert Room
║ ║ ║ ║Besides a few cacti, there is very little fauna here.
║ ║ ║ ║The sweltering heat of the dry air and the burning
║ >║ ║< ║sandy floor ensure staying here is not a treat.
╚══════════╝ ╚══════════╝Despite conditions, some wild rabbits can be found
here, and some gophers, both living in holes.
Third Floor
╔═══════╗
║ < ║ North Room: The Reaper Room
║ ║ Everything is engraved with skulls. The walls and floor
║ ║ are black obsidian, and the eyes of the skulls glow
║ ║ green. An oppressing presence can be felt, like something
║ ║ is watching you. There are some scary stalagtites and
║ ║ stalagmites in the room, also engraved.
╔═══════╗ ║ > ║
║ ║ ╚═══════╝ West Room: The Insane Room
║ ║ The floor is purple, and there are grasping tentacles
║ ║ reaching from it. A large pillar in the middle of the
║< >║ room occasionally blinks at you, and mouths appear in mid-
║ ║ air, biting at nothing while more tentacles reach from the
║ ║ mouths. This seems like a dangerous place!
║ ║ ╔═══════╗
╚═══════╝ ║ ║ East Room: The Fiery Room
║ ║ The whole place stinks of brimstone, and the only safe
║ ║ place to walk on the floor are floating platforms of
║> <║ pumice; the rest of the floor is magma. The wall has
║ ║ some frightning red tridents mounted to it, which are
╔═══════╗ ║ ║ on fire, just like the bats in the room.
║ > ║ ║ ║
║ ║ ╚═══════╝ South Room: The Justice Room
║ ║ A bright glow comes from the floor, which is cool and
║ ║ glassy like marble. There are many swords sticking from
║ ║ the floor, each vibrating with glowing energy. Some
║ ║ winged scales float through the room, and you feel like
║ < ║ you are being judged.

║ ║ Observatory
║ ║ The roof of the top floor is made of

║ ║ peaks which smooth out as the reach

║ ║ While the floor is plain stone, a
║ <║ central collumn made of multicolored
╔════════╝ ╚════════╗crystals rises from the center, forming
║ < ║complex and jagged shapes. At the
║ ║bottom of the pillar is a hollow

║ ╚╝ ║bars of electrified steel.
