Category:Obsidian Arena; Stands

So far we've found two entrances to this area, one in Obsidian Arena; Floor and the other in Under The Stars (iron walkway portion). Both entrances contain lots of mobs packed into a nospell room.

The room we entered from Obsidian Arena; Floor had seven mobs. Three of them were Mindwardens, which detonate. They show up on scan as "A floating hive mind emits a violent storm of kinetic energy". To make matters worse, the Gatewatch Eyes (two of them) cast Shard Storm, utterly destroying anyone who's trying to make it through the det room naked. They show up on scan as "A blood red eye opens in the silver circle atop the gate". The other two mobs were Obsidian Watchmen, which are spec_buttkicker (bash/disarm). They show up on scan as "A malevolent red light stirs in the eyes of this obsidian statue".

Needless to say, we fled like sissies.

(Devastant) "det mobs? we'll just get naked!" SHARDS! FOR YOU! IN YOUR FLESH!

While in the stands I've seen down exits that lead to the arena floor. Unless these are one-way exits, this means that there's places where you can go from the floor to the stands without dealing with the death-trap described above.

Baroness Kipparielle is in this area, on her Obsidian Throne, with a bunch of other scary sounding fae. Tracking her leads you to a nospell room called "Her Ladyship's Stair". In this room are two Obsidian Watchmen, who bash, disarm, and are immune to archer damage. The room is surrounded by archers who longshot Doom Toxin at your group. So far we've managed to clear one of these rooms, only to find another one above it. No clue how many steps are on "Her Ladyship's Stair" yet. If you're going to try to get to the baroness bring A LOT of war/bzk to clear the room, along with pills/wands of cure poison.
