MD 016 Blood Mud w/ Alyssa Fayden (fantasy cartographer)

 You’re recruited by a secret society to infiltrate the grand opening ceremony of the New Colosseum, a tasteless theme park built in and around the original Colosseum. Billionaire scoundrel artist and owner of the New Colosseum, Crassus Kapoor, has pilfered holy sites from around the world to build his grim epcot catacombs in the hypogeum beneath the Colosseum. His hubris causes the blood of 400,000 deaths to rise as undead graveyard elementals and murder the crowd. You can stop the mayhem by locating the four pieces of The Seal and return them to their shrine rooms in the labyrinth of the hypogeum!
