Brazenthrone - The Pits of Justice
🕑 Added 2019-06-13 05:10:57 +0000 UTCThis is where Brazenthrone sends the few criminals whose crimes are deemed too severe for a flogging, yet not quite warranting execution (they do love a good flogging).
The prisoners are housed in a series of oubliettes, sleeping in the narrow alcoves around the sides. Those deemed especially naughty are placed in the isolation pits. Gates at the entrance and the guards' area prevent access by potential escapees. This could be an interesting place to have your players escape from or stage a rescue.
Next up is Old Madeleine's Inn and Fighting Pit, then we're finishing off the lower part of Brazenthrone with the Underdark Trading Outpost. If you're a patron, there's still time to vote in the runoff between the Airship of the Line and the Aarakocra Village in the medium category (the vote ends later tonight). When it ends, the large-ish category vote will begin.

Twenty feet sounds about right to me.

How far down did you envision the oubliettes/isolation pits being?

Haha, thanks. When I was planning what the pits would be like, I considered having the prisoners doing forced labor in a mine. Then I thought about it and I was like, "Actually, that seems like a really terrible idea." That's where it came from.

Great bit of lore about forcing prisoners to mine :D
