==Bloodscrip==
Bloodscrip is a currency similar to the [[Grey Raven Commissary]] scrip. While Grey Raven scrip is automatically accumulated in your character's total listed under the {{com|TICKETS}}, ''some'' bloodscrip starts off as an actual item when found and can be bought, sold, or otherwise traded to other characters. Once {{tt|REDEEM}}ed on a character, bloodscrip cannot be turned back into an item and traded. Bloodscrip can be obtained in the Duskruin Arena and Duskruin Labyrinth and redeemed at various locations within Duskruin and appears as {{ilink|i|Duskruin bloodscrip}}.

:Note: Because bloodscrip can be a actual item in game, it is highly recommended you treat it with the caution you would any item you would not want to lose.

==Duskruin Arena==
The arena is an individual event where a player fights against various creatures and traps in the hopes of earning prizes and [[bloodscrip]]. There are multiple arena rooms, allowing up to 50 players to be competing in the arena at once.

Spectators can use {{tt|YELL}} and {{tt|CHEER}} to encourage those in the arena, or taunt their failings. The {{tt|WATCH LIST}} command will show who is currently competing, while {{tt|WATCH}}ing any player, such as {{tt|WATCH BOB}} will allow you to track their progress.

To enter, players can {{tt|GO PORTCULLIS}} while holding a dueling slip and will be escorted to an arena and the announcer will explain the rules. Players will face 25 challengers, and every 5th one will be a 'boss', or more difficult opponent. Only one creature or opponent will face a player at a time. Players can use the {{tt|WATCH}} command to assess the situation and react accordingly to try and avoid these traps. Your time in the arena is limited, so make good use of it. If your time expires, you will be moved out to collect your winnings.

If at any point you've had enough, you can {{tt|SURRENDER}} and quit early. However, if you surrender your coin and bloodscrip earnings for that session will be cut in half. Should you fail and die in the arena, you cannot {{tt|DEPART}} but will be automatically dragged out, and healed to full health. The arena's healing services include returning you back to life, but any normal death penalties (lost field experience, scrolls, etc) will still apply normally.

If a player does everything perfectly in a single session, the most they can earn is 250 bloodscrip. You always get some bloodscrip even if you {{tt|SURRENDER}} or die, with the minimum at 50 bloodscrip for participating.

Currently, there is no specific combat mode with constructs for Empaths, but it is being considered. Necromancer and Empath, and other pets are allows in the arena. Players may receive buffs or other help from players before entering.

===Arena Titles===
Players can get several temporary titles by participating in the Duskruin Arena. These titles are temporary and clear after logging out and back in. However, if you are wearing a title the announcer will skip the introduction and rules segment of the arena session, allowing you to do more sessions faster.
:Duskruin Combatant - Earned by participating in any Duskruin arena session.
:Duskruin Arena Champion - Earned by making it through and beating all 25 rounds.
:Duskruin Arena Hero/Heroine - Earned by scoring a perfect 250 bloodscrip upon finishing the arena session.

===Loot===
:TK

==Duskruin Labyrinth==
Located on the eastern side of the arena, the labyrinth does not have any combat. Players enter by paying with Golden Rat Tokens, and are lead inside. True to its name, the labyrinth is a maze that occasionally reorganizes itself, so any attempt at mapping it is futile. Players can attempt to chase and capture the rat running around inside via the {{tt|SEARCH}} command. Each session, a player may do 10 searches and obtain various treasures hidden within labyrinth.

Only one rat may be obtained per character, per opening of Duskruin. However, there are many different treasures hidden in the labyrinth, so even if a player already has a rat there are things to search for.

The most bloodscrip that can be earned in any one labyrinth session is 200 bloodscrip.


===Pet Rats===
Players can explore the Duskruin Labyrinth and try to and find their very own rat companion. Rats bond to their owner and can be worn or stored in the sack they come with. Note that you should only stow your rat in the sack it came with when it is not worn, as doing otherwise can risk losing the rat. {{ilink|i|Rat}}s come in many different appearances, and can be altered.


Rats can be worn on the shoulder (in a general slot, but looks like the shoulder). Players can put them in their sack, or {{tt|DROP}} them on the ground. Players can {{tt|FEED}} them various types of food. Only the owner can {{tt|GET}} the rat from the ground. The rats have several other interaction such as {{tt|KICK}} (not that you would!), {{tt|POKE}}, {{tt|RUB}}, {{tt|TICKLE}}, {{tt|THUMP}}, {{tt|TOUCH}} and {{tt|PET}}.

Pet Rats

Players can explore the Duskruin Labyrinth and try to and find their very own rat companion. Rats bond to their owner and can be worn or stored in the sack they come with. Note that you should only stow your rat in the sack it came with when it is not worn, as doing otherwise can risk losing the rat. Rats come in many different appearances, and can be altered.

Rats can be worn on the shoulder (in a general slot, but looks like the shoulder). Players can put them in their sack, or DROP them on the ground. Players can FEED them various types of food. Only the owner can GET the rat from the ground. The rats have several other interaction such as KICK (not that you would!), POKE, RUB, TICKLE, THUMP, TOUCH and PET.

Rats put on the ground via the DROP command will follow their owner, without risk of losing the rat. While on the ground, rats can do battle with the rats owned by other players. Rats may become wounded by battle, but they will not permanently die. Badly wounded rats will run away temporarily and return a real life day later once healed.

Currently only one rat may be obtained per character, per opening of Duskruin.

Incidental Loot
