In the Bowl of the Gods

This is really just a post for me to collect my thoughts and, I guess, to run things by Erik, if he should happen to read this. Comments are welcome, provided they're on topic.

Inspired by this comic I came up with first a setting and then a story idea. It goes like this

Kind of reminds me of that story idea I had a while back about a futuristic city with a robot fighting arena in the middle of otherwise an entire world of nothing but desert. Ok, well, I guess the small patch of life in the middle of a giant wasteland is the only similarity but it seems like a fascinating idea.

I am curious as to how exactly the stranger ended up in the crater to begin with and doesn't seem to remember how he got there and how far it is back to the nearest "civilization".

I forgot about fighting robots in the middle of nowhere.

I don't have much in the way of details yet, as I've posted everything I've thought of for this story here. I want to stay away from magic and whatnot with this one, so there will be some reasonable explanation for how he got there, although he may know exactly how far he is from civilization. Maybe I meant the child will be surprised at how close the crater is to civilization?
