The various duelling rings that he had fought in the previous day’s round of entertainment consisted of four sets of wooden stands that the spectators sat upon. Although it took a great deal of effort and most of the previous day to do it, the various craftsgriffons and labourers managed to disassemble the rings and combine them into one large makeshift stadium, doubling in height of a regular duelling ring by using metal girders and sturdy wooden scaffolding to place more seats higher off the ground. The entire construction was rigorously stress tested once completed the previous night under the king's instruction to ensure safety. Which, from what Handy found out by listening in on the talkative griffons he passed, involved a lot of swearing, flailing of gryphonic limbs, large hammers, exactly six thousand and twenty one individual nails, one of those godawful mysterious songs the people of this world were wont to perform at the drop of a hat, and a live trout. Some questions were just better left unasked.
