8. Runi tries to get Han to open up a bit and talk. They end up talking a bit about their pasts and what they have in common and have a sweet moment around the edges of the campfire. Thea eventually interrupts with "We should really get some sleep" and convo dies down. Timeskip. In the middle of the night, Han hears a distant shuffling. Han is on watch and starts to wake Thea and Ani up, looking around but can't see anything in the darkness. There's a feeling of dread and like someone's watching before there's a sudden, sharp pain in the side of his neck. He can stumble and say a few things, but within 30 seconds, he'll fall down and everything will go black.

Vel wakes up in a cell with Runi, cue convos and panic, confusion, all that. In the cell beside them, there's a young girl who tells them where they are and why they were brought there. That is, until Vel is taken out w/no explanation to another cell where a group of (human) healers who've been held captive at the games are forced to tasked with healing Vel's wing so that Vel can participate in the games - they don't have any harpies yet and they want to take advantage of that because of the "novelty" of it. Vel learns that the healers are tasked with healing injured and near-dead fighters to full health so they can go right back out into the games again the next day. It's very taxing, and Vel knows that more than anyone - especially since not all of the healers around her have as much experience or stamina as her. Vel gets healed and thrown back into her cell. @ScarlettFire (Vel's POV) with @Magebird and sound

Ani's the next to go into the ring and is pinned against Kazimir, whom the announcer declares as their undefeated champion (he has electricity/lightning magic, which is considered rare). They have a fierce match, both putting up a good fight before Kaz gets knocked down. When on the ground he pulls Ani down to him and whispers to her quickly. First: "Pin me, or they won't buy it." Then tells her about a group of mages who escaped and are looking for people like her to join the resistance™. Kaz was trying to find them before he got dragged into this. Doesn't know where they are, but knows they're out there. Heard they might be in Gurak, somewhere hiding among the goblins but can't be sure. Then he says "this only ends if one of us gets knocked out" and Ani can clock him right there. Her victory would def cause a riot of mixed emotions in the crowd because Kaz lost (and technically let himself lose, so it's not as sweet of a victory, but also, Ani has important info now). @Chaser [Ani's POV] collab w/sound
