With Orlan’s name on the fight card, Mac enters the tournament under the unforgettable alias Mac Pissmist, setting the stage for blood, coin, grudges, and brutal D&D 5e arena combat.Expect Dungeons & Dragons 5e actual play, underground fight pits, rogue investigations, bardic inspiration, illegal betting, faction intrigue, the Umbral Consulate, and the glorious stupidity that only a tabletop RPG can provide.Chapters / Timestamps00:00 Previously on Deep Six01:05 Deep Six Intro02:24 Entering The Cracks Night Market04:10 The Market Comes Alive06:15 Ruby Performs with the Bone Flute09:00 Searching for the Hidden Fight Pit12:35 Stenny Gets Pickpocketed15:10 The Suspicious Public Toilets18:20 The Secret Entrance Revealed21:00 Descending into The Rust Below24:00 Shadow Doves and the Arena Crowd27:15 Melina, the Gatekeeper, and the VIPs30:10 Knox the Coin Eater and Malk Spotted33:00 Reading the Fight Card36:15 Mac Enters the Tournament39:00 Drawing the Fight Brackets42:20 Meeting the Fighters Below45:00 Placing Bets on Mac47:45 Ruby Gives Bardic Inspiration49:20 Malk Spots Stenny51:10 Melina Opens the Rust Below53:30 The Rules of the Pit54:28 Outro and Thanks
