Reference | monst.c, line 7074 |
The gladiator's quest leader is Tutor (a homunculus whose dialogue is humorously modeled after Burgess Meredith's role in the film "Rocky" as fight trainer Micky Goldmill).
The quest sees you fighting the Champion of Pompeji for the Imperial Token, an artifact gold ring. When worn, the Token has whatever randomized effect gold rings have in your game. In addition, when carried, it conveys drain resistance and hungerless regeneration. For Gladiators only, #invoking it acts as the “aggravate monster” monster spell (wakes up all monsters on the level and has a one-fifth chance of unparalyzing paralyzed monsters on the level, with the message: "You feel that monsters are aware of your presence.").
The quest goal level is the Colosseum, a large circular arena populated with several werecreatures and "prize money" animals (as listed above). The entire arena is always affected by conflict which cannot be turned off.
