Tournament (Slave Pits)

In the tournament you pick one of six Fighters, each with their own past, stats, starting equipment and talents, and take them from the pits to the coliseum.

The fighters. The soldier, The warrior, The bandit, The slave, The veteran and The assassin. The soldier is available from the start, and finishing a tournament unlocks the next fighter.
The road. The same three chapters as the story: the slave pits, the Crafters' halls on the border, and the coliseum, up to the tournament champion.
Between fights. Chance meetings, offers, quests that run over several fights, trainers, smiths, dealers and masters. What you earn goes on equipment, talents and services.
Coin and gear. Coin is real money here, and equipment is owned and runs out. Services can be stocked and sold.
The champions. Each tournament ends against one of three final bosses: the Beast Flayer, the Storm Brigand or the Imperial Champion.
