Page 27 of EP3 (At the Festival) (Patreon)

 As night falls, the food show and its entertainers have finished their  cooking and consuming demonstrations. They have since cleared out,  leaving the arena empty and ready the final event of the festival is  about to begin!

 The final talyxian challenger has been revealed to the audience as the actinia!  As the announcer explains, there have been several recent advancements  in transportation technologies. This has allowed for the handlers to  transport this monstrous creature from its home of the Lower Magoe  area while keeping it healthy and free from exhaustion. This should  offer a greater challenge for the valiant warriors chosen to square off  against this great beast — and in turn, a more exciting show for the  audience to enjoy!

 Meanwhile, backstage workers struggle to hold the actinia back as its  enclosure gate is raised by arena staff. As the gate opens wider, we can  see it grasping at the bars with its many appendages, eager to escape  into the open arena and wreak havoc.
