My Hermes System

Back in the Pit, Van and the now ex-guard has been listening on the androgynous long-haired man, Reed, babble for quite some time now. He was supposed to only tell them the rules, but still, he has been talking to them for almost an hour now.

As per his explanation and story, there were only 3 rules in the Pit.

Rule number 1 is that no one goes near the wall set up by the Locals. But even though this was the number 1 rule, it was also the most violated one. Not a week goes by that someone attempts to climb over the wall, but alas, their attempts would always lead to death.

Either the Locals would see them climbing and kill them, or they manage to escape, only to be killed by the one calling the shots in the Encampment, the one they call the Boss.
