the Crimson Coin

A typical tavern in most respects—a large, open mead-room, a balcony running around a second floor with rooms for rent by the hour, and a large fire pit and long serving bar—the Crimson Coin stands out for only two reasons. First, it has a deep earthen pit in the center of the mead hall, roped off to protect drunkards from falling in too often, where anyone willing to put up a gold coin can try to last 60 seconds against the house champion in a bare fisted brawl. Second, it is the only place in the foreign quater where wagers can be placed on the outcome of major gladiatorial games. It is also a common retreat for young gladiators, especially females, hoping to catch the attention (and patronage) of the tavern’s own.
