You wake up to find yourself on an island in the middle of the ocean made mostly of a massive white, stepped stone sitting on a sandy beach. It is impossible to tell the islands dimensions exactly, but if the rock were removed, it would be possible to see the ocean on the other side of the island. The rock itself, towers over the narrow beach by about 150 feet. On both sides of the island, in front of you and the other contestant, there is a cave-like entrance at the beach level. Inside, the tunnels flicker with firelight as they slope upwards towards the very top of the rock. The tunnels are too narrow to manuever well with bulky weapons and fighting within them could be difficult.
On the rock's exterior surface, water pools within the step-like basins and in some basins-the water flows down the rock and into the ocean in a gentle water fall.
You can just barely make out the sillouhette of a woman as she appears at the top of the rock tower. The sun shining high overhead makes it difficult to distinguish any of her features at all. However, when she speaks her voice is heard on both sides of the island as clear as if she were speaking next to them.
"Greetings! I, Mary Sue, have brought you here to this island to do battle. You shall fight until the death, or until one of you is rendered unable to move. If you wish, you may forfeit the match at any time. All wounds, even death wounds, will be healed once the battle has ended. You may fight anywhere you wish on the island but be warned: the tunnels are narrow and the beach drops off into a sheer cliff just ten feet out into the water. The winner of this match will then move on to the next round. You'll have fifteen days.....BEGIN!"
And with that, the figure vanished before your eyes in a blinding display of light. Once it faded, you and your opponent were left alone on the island, facing the rock and the battle field above.
