The Thorn (Fallout: New Vegas)

The Thorn is an underground settlement located by the Westside south entrance. The R in the sign is pointing to the sewer, letting you know that this is the main entrance. The main interest of The Thorn is the arena, where you can bet on the outcome of fights between wasteland creatures, or fight in the arena yourself. Access to The Thorn is denied from 1:00 am to 6:00 am.

Layout
The Thorn is a large arena surrounded by a system of raised catwalks for the guards and spectators, and surrounding the sides are cages holding the wasteland creatures grown and kept by Red Lucy for Arena battles.

If you like, you can set up custom fights by talking to Red Lucy. You get to choose what creature and how many of it will fight in red vs. blue team. Since the creatures are expensive to breed, keep, and maintain, you will have to pay for the fight. If the team you bet on wins you get your caps back plus a little extra. To initiate the fights simply talk to Red Lucy and select "Let's talk about The Thorn." and ask "What's fighting in the next match?"

You can also tell Red Lucy that you want to pit yourself against the creatures. The creatures you can fight are fire geckos, giant mantises, radscorpions, night stalkers, cazadores and deathclaws. You can choose what and how many creatures you want to fight. The screen will fade to black and you will be moved to the arena cage. The winnings are dependent on what it is you fight and the number you are facing. The most you can fight is three deathclaws at once. You must bring her several eggs of the animal you wish to fight before you can fight them in the arena.
