Cock and Stone

From Alethustria Wiki

Cock and Stone was a team of dwarven prisoners held in Magmaslag Rock, who competed together in the Underbelly Bout.

History[edit | edit source]

The dwarves comprising Cock and Stone were accused of serious crimes and imprisoned in Magmaslag Rock. It is unknown what these crimes were or whether or not they were actually guilty of them. However, given that Dunan Slagmeld framed a number of the prison's inmates so that he could abuse them for his own amusement, it is entirely possible that no one in Cock and Stone had done anything wrong in their lives ever.

The members of Cock and Stone were recruited into the Underbelly Bout, an underground fighting tournament, in an effort to win their freedom. They participated in the second fight of the first round of the tournament, against a cyclops dubbed "the Great Eye." Cock and Stone rushed the cyclops, but sadly, its club was larger than any of the pickaxes they were armed with and they were quickly slaughtered. After the Great Eye was retrieved from the arena, their corpses were dropped into the lava below Deepfloe Arena. In the second round of the tournament, Cock and Stone was avenged by the Champions, who killed the Great Eye. Torble invoked the fallen team's name, to cheers from the audience members who had bet on their victory.
