This is arena-like hold. This is quite little(I'm going to add one-two more arenas probably), but not very easy. It also not very difficult though. The puzzle-theme of the hold is "surrounded by the hoarde of monsters player". First room is very easy, second is more difficult, then more and more and more difficult again... and if somebody has problems with, last for now, seventh arena, try to solve it in editor - it's fairly difficult compared to other six. EDIT: Although CSR had problems with fourth arena. Strange.

Well, hoping you'll enjoy these seven arenas!

It's now submitted and, hopefully will appear on holds board soon.

Nice idea. It's cool to see the crowd cheering for the slayer and betting on his success. The word you're looking for is gladiator. The slayer is a gladiator fighting in these arenas.

I got stuck on the 4th arena, the most difficult for me. I easily solved the 5th and 6th arenas in the editor. Could you help me out with the first few moves after stepping on the pressure plate in the 4th?

My favorite was the 5th arena, where I had to think about where to put only 3 mirrors to hold off all those aumtlich. I liked having to use frozen aumtlich to block other aumtlich.

I know. "Gladiator" just seemed me a little comic state for Slayer.

4-th arena:

Facing south, then move SW. Then, using Slayer's ability to eat monsters with body, get to 13,18. Then it's easy.
(I also have demo, so, if it won't help, I can post it)

5-th and 6-th:

Hmm... fifth is easy, but sixth... I thought it's more difficult than fourth. At least, when I created this, it took more time for me to solve sixth by myself than fourth. Oh, well.

My favorite was the 5th arena, where I had to think about where to put only 3 mirrors to hold off all those aumtlich. I liked having to use frozen aumtlich to block other aumtlich.

Glad you liked it(although it's easy).

EDIT: OK, since comments came, I'll keep working on it and will try to post new version before going on holidays.

Thanks for the help with the wraithwings. The new adder arena is pretty easy too. I think I still like the aumtlich one the best.

There are spelling and/or grammatical errors in almost every piece of text in this hold. Would you like me to help you correct them?

Well, keeping adders from dying because of other adders or not letting them stuck in dead ends isn't very easy for weaker players(for me, for example :P). The entire hold wasn't supposed to be some sort of very difficult anyway.

Yeah, sure, thanks. If you can help, certainly.

Note that I'm going on holidays quite soon, so I'll be albe to fix grammatical/spelling erros after I return...
