In "The Pit-Battle" the original characters from nine disaparate stories are thrown together into the same point in time and space. Chaos ensues as these myriad peoples and creatures try to come to terms with the jarring disorientation that has ripped them from their lives. An author's note has been included to offer some insight into the original tales these characters hail from.
