The Bruised Blade

This rickety old building, at first glance, looks to be an empty house. Inside, however, there is a set of stairs downward, above which a sign is painted that reads “The Bruised Blade”. In the basement, a large arena has been carved out (15’-radius circle), and bookies arrange fights here between competitors. The rules of these fights vary, but most fights are unarmed, and proceed until someone is knocked out. Betting starts at 1sp and goes as high as 10gp for some fights. The manager, a goliath gladiator by the name of Armstrong, is always looking for new fighters. A character who decides to fight could end up fighting a bugbear, bugbear chief, hobgoblin, duergar, thug, veteran, gladiator, yuan-ti malison (any type), or any other strange fighter who might make their way to Skullport.
