Carnelian + Peridot

[dramatispersonae]

Through the doors, you find yourselves in a small circular room that seems to be decorated much in the same way as the ring is decorated today. The curtains are in alternating colors of your teams, and in the center stand are three surprisingly lifelike, but faceless sculptures. They stand with their backs to one another, facing out to the chairs. About each of their necks is a cord that holds a sign written in a fine, looping cursive.

Do you really think I've done anything worth punishing?

I'm trying to say that the punishments are clearly increasing in severity. I might be able to get off without a hitch for premeditated murder, but for all I know you might be sentenced to torture for calling someone names next round.
