The Gladiator's Maw thrums with a low, metallic drone. Loom, a figure swathed in tattered cloth and crowned by a dented helmet, stands frozen, staring into the pitted surface of its pickaxe. In a motion both sudden and tender, it clutches the tool to its chest in a tight embrace, then begins a slow, shuffling walk toward the next chamber. Its helmet rotates with a soft grind, two dark lenses fixing on you with a depthless, vacant gaze.
