The Situation
You stand on the 2nd lowest level of the infamous Red Pit of Koth in the
Slave Flats. As the last of you were freed from your shackles one of the party (probably Amalric or Chang Jun) struck down one of the slavers with you, shocking everyone around you, both slave drivers and slaves. There are nearly 120 slaves nearby, shuffling and clanking in their manacled leg-irons (slaves move at half rate).
The Feeding Area sits above you, where
Nazarus the Whip and more
slave drivers oversee the meager sustenance offered to the starving wretches.
Blocks of stone are being carved from the walls of the level, which are 10 meters in height. 2 ladders allow access from the Slave Flats (area 1 on Game Map) to the Feeding Area (area 2 on Game Map); otherwise there is always scaling the rough hewn wall themselves.
Hexes are 2m in length. Hexes occupied by slaves may be moved through but cost an addition 1m of movement.
If anyone wishes to make a similar speech as described in the intro to rouse the slaves it will take a Persuasion roll to motivate them into action against their taskmasters. You have been here long enough to know that the hatred runs deep but so does fear.
Slaves: All but the 7 others seated near you who were also rewarded have their legs shackled together, cutting movement in half. They are also malnourished and suffer from exhaustion (lowered stats).
Slave Drives (yellow circled): Former slaves, brutish and cruel, who impressed Abdibaal and Nazarus enough to be elevated to the position. They are well fed and rested and wear thick leather on their chest/back, a girdle and skirt (protects locations 9-14).
Surprised: 1/2 DCV, Normal Stun
Nazarus the Whip (blue circled): commands near the huge feeding table. Also wears same leathers as Slave Drivers.
Feeding Table: Stacked high with bread and kettles of gruel. Eager slaves await their turn or move quickly to down their sustenance before other wretches can try to wrest their meal from them.
Characters: Players begin at -2 STR, -2 CON, -5 END, -3 STUN, -1 Physical Skill Rolls due to the hardships of the Pit. Your legs are free, however you are currently unarmed.
Slave Drivers in Slave Flats: 1 holds a basket with your recently removed manacles. The other stands by with truncheon in hand, meant to quell any thought of uprising (and failing in his task). The victim of your wrath lies broken, his hammer and awl which foolishly removed your manacles in the red dirt beside his corpse.

Segment 12
All characters except Chang Jun make DEX rolls to determine your order vs others with your same DEX. Please declare your moves. All slavers are considered Surprised (1/2 DCV, Normal Stun) and do not get to act this Segment.
Let the struggle begin!
