Hey there Sapience,

It's Giovelli. It's been a minute since we've had a chat, you and I.

You know how I had planned this big, beautiful new event? Right before it was taken over by a gang of vicious, disgusting, filthy, and probably cannibalistic miscreants? If you've been to "the Squal" (as said cannibalistic miscreants are calling it) then you've no doubt seen the same potential I once did.

Well it turns out their little invasion was maybe a tiny bit of a blessing.

You see, with your help, my wife Sutra and her crew have been INCREDIBLY successful at slowly plucking out the little buggers and bringing them back to her camp.

Let me just tell you, these guys once they're caught? They're totally willing to negotiate. My people have a little chat with them, they agree to some quick terms for their potential freedom and my forgiveness for their role in helping to steal my property, and BOOM. We've got a new game on our hands.

I'm happy to present to you: Giovelli's Murder Dome.

This game will see you hopping into an arena with one of those aforementioned miscreants - a smaller space now, so not much room for running away. You'll fight to the death - naturally - and with each subsequent round, we'll toss in one more miscreant for you to square up against. If they beat you, they'll earn their freedom!*

I've built a new staging room just east of my lobby to join in on this particular brand of fun. My daughter Harobeth (she's great, you'll love her, real bubbly and sweet, she's the apple of my eye) will be the one coordinating all the registrations and whatnot.

Just a real quick note: Like my Safari, death is the only way out here, but that's such a teeny tiny price to pay for fame. Expect to spend a bit of time there - savor it, enjoy the scenery and the sounds. Unless you're weak, upon which point, I don't know, plan for a few minutes?

See you all soon.

Giovelli Rederan
