Miri flushes red at Jordan's light kiss, shifting her weight from foot to foot, clearly flustered.  Finally, she musters up enough composure to speak.  "See you on the other side!"<br/><br/>On the other side of the door is a small dark corridor, no more than fifteen paces long.  The only visible light comes from around the cracks of the door at the other end.  Silence greets Jordan: not a sound can be heard ahead of her and, as the door she walked through swings shut behind her, not a sound can be heard from behind, either, except the pad of her footsteps as she walks to the other door.  That door, too, opens easily at her touch.<br/><br/>As she steps through the second door, the room opens into a wide open indoor space, well lit with magic globes suspended in the air.  It forms a dome, with the edges of the dome mostly in darkness, Jordan's infravision able to see many seated audience members in balconies.  The vast majority of the audience appears to be male.  A quiet murmur begins as she enters the room, the audience seemingly growing excited at the sight of her.  Across from the room from her, another door is visible, several times larger than the one she just came through.<br/><br/>Suddenly a voice can be heard.  Though it seems to be pitched at a normal volume, Jordan can hear it as though it is right next to her, no doubt magically amplified.  "Tonight, we have the pleasure of introducing Jordan Fenix, cleric of Iomedae.  And gentlemen, remember, this is her first fight, so you know what that means!"  The murmuring in the audience grows louder for just an instant, then quiets.<br/><br/>From the large door across from Jordan comes a loud<em>thunk</em>.  A moment later, it slowly creaks open.  Into the arena strolls the thug leader from before, now having discarded his cloak, swinging his burly arms from side to side, grinning as he walks towards her.  A few moments later, and the three thugs that went with him also emerge from the door.  The leader stops, crossing his arms in front of his chest as the three thugs slowly advance towards Jordan, weapons drawn.
