The players appear in a “Lounge”. Comfortable couches and chairs are scattered about a fancy smoking lounge, with snacks and drinks spread tastefully out buffets style along one wall. The others are adorned with racks of weapons of all types, armors of all sizes and shapes, and shelves of potions and scrolls. Above all of the shelves are floating scrying portals and illusionary displays showing the greatest hits and brawls of the game as the logo for Kill Pit scrolls across the images.
A small imp appears in a tattered suit and announces in a cheesy voice, entirely too loud for its small lung capacity, the rules and options:
Battle Royale- Last man standing
Team Battle- Team vs Team combat
Head Hunter- Teams compete to kill the most minion monsters in the allotted time limit
Disaster Dash- Teams try to make it through an obstacle course of natural disasters and events, or make it the farthest
Demolition Derby- Vehicle Combat. One driver, and one “gunner” per vehicle. Different options available
World Ender- All teams cooperate to defeat one big bad monster
All players have their equipment available to them. The Challenging Team may choose weapons or items from the walls first. Item’s properties, limit, types, levels, and availability decided by GM. Their choices then become available to the Standing Team. The Standing Team then gets to choose 1 item in addition to what the first team chose. All players can see what each team chooses, but not who takes it.
After items have been chosen, a scroll appears mid air and unfurls in front of each player. Listed on it are all skills and attributes. Each player may choose to either add 10 points across any of their skills, OR, +2 to 2 different attributes or +4 to one.
At any time, if the venue that is hosting Kill Pit allows it, a player may switch modes to LETHAL MODE for themselves. Any winnings from bets are tripled, but you can actually die, and the other players keep that tripled bet. The venue claims any possessions or coin from a dead player.
Depending on the team sizes, the GM/game may grant one side an advantage or handicap.
As the game starts, your health, your number of spell slots, and chosen items appear in small HUDs in the corners of your vision

Game Play Modes
1d6 for Game Stages
1- Lava Pit – On pillars and platforms rising from the magma. A player that falls in takes a set amount of damage (X)d(X), then reappears on a platform or pillar somewhere in play
2- Unstable Frozen Glacier Pond. With enough impact or force, the ice can be ruptured to create pools of icy water on the field. A player that falls in may make a strength to get out (set by GM). Success causes disadvantage on all rolls due to cold on next round. Not escaping causes drowning- set amount of damage and reappearing somewhere on the field. Disadvantage on all rolls during next turn
3- Jungle Canopy- In the branches and large leaves high above a forest floor. Requires athletics and dex checks to move to certain areas. Falling causes (X)d(X) and you are removed for 1 round as you fall to the ground. Reappear at random spot
4- Desert Sands. In the ruins of a desert temple. Take (X)d(X) per round if you do not move away from the same spot as the sands burn you. Forcing a creature/player into a SAND TRAP causes them to be devoured by a sand lion. Instantly out of the round
5- Collapsing Cave- Take (X)d(X) damage from falling debris every 3 rounds if you are restrained or unable to use a reaction.
6- Rocky Shore- Combat takes place on the wet rocks of a violent beach. Being swept or thrown off the rocks causes (X)d(X) damage, and you are slowed and can only take one action in a round.
These settings are subject to increases of danger, difficulty, or cosmetic/mechanic changes as combat continues. Effects decided by GM

Head Hunter- A team agreed number and type of minions are placed on the field of combat. A count down timer is put up, or a running timer is started at the beginning of the game.
