'What's a bestiarium anyway?'
"It refers to matches between monsters and humans. Usually something done in gambling dens or the empire. That gnome is quite bold."

I looked around at the monsters imprisoned here.
The merchant guild's animal welfare doesn't seem very good.
Blood and filth were caked onto the iron cages. Well, it would be difficult to clean and maintain while transferring those monsters between cages.
But their conditions were terrible.
'They could at least feed them properly.'
Most had hollow bellies. It seemed they weren't even being fed properly.
Are they starving them to increase their aggression?
