Synopsis for Mark Lansing, of Mikishawm: "Lishak the Gladiator"

In the lower levels of Verdan, Mark Lansing has been attacked by the giant gladiator Lishak. He's unbelievably quick and incredibly strong; the fight goes badly for Mark, at first, then he makes one slippery grappling move and follows up with some hard boxing. Defeated, Lishak expects to be killed, but Mark surprizes him by allowing him to go. This earns Lishak's grudging respect, and some good advice: he should leave, this place is not safe for him. Back in the main castle, Mark confers with King Talon, who is very relieved to see him alive.

Meanwhile Costa devises a plan to use Kit as bait in a new trap for Lansing. That night, after murdering one patrolling guard with a silent ray pistol, Costa's henchmen abduct Kit from her quarters. A note is sent to Mark; he must return to Lower Level 3, alone and unarmed, or it's curtains for Kit. He goes. A friendly beggar recognizes him and warns him not to go, but he continues, and soon is confronted by two riflemen. They convey him to Costa, sadistically clubbing him along the way.

After some quick and colorful gloating, Costa has Mark chained up in a grimy little cell, and sends in Lishak to torture him. But based on their earlier encounter, Lishak is having second thoughts about that.
