Unity Games, Round two

Our progress through the unity games continues. At the end of the first match, ramble nearly dies from a "misfiring" runic contraption. We reported this to the proper authorities. With their help, we came to understand that several (if not all) of the protective ward amulets had been tampered with. They said that they would look into it. Not wanting to leave the matter completely in their hands, we convinced them to allow us to inspect the area under the arena (Where the attack originated). While down there, we talked to several workers who informed us on how the mechanisms worked (to the best of their knowledge. While investigating, we discovered that many runes down there were also suspect. The workers were replacing damaged / broken runes with new ones that seemed to be of questionable quality. The workers know little of the new runes origins. We should investigate this further. The new runes seem to be tainted with red magic. I have a sneaking suspicion they are somehow connected to the imbuers disappearing.
 
Our second match in the competition posed little challenge. Though he may be insufferable, I cannot deny that Ramble is invaluable to the team. Eva's new weapon is also a great asset. We took down our opponents without problem. During the match, I disposed of my "protective" ward. I feel as though they can no longer be trusted and are more of a risk than a safety net. With our second victory under our belt, we await our next match
