All of you got pretty lucky. Hell, only one of you got even a slight injury! I couldn't believe the rolls I was getting.

I want to train one level of swordfighting.

Updated character:
Gladiator name: Ishar
Race: Human
Weapon: Bronze two-handed sword (175)
Specialty Skill: Swordfighter
Skills: Swordfighting 3, Fighting 1
Money left: 0
Total worth: 225

I want to fight a tiger next time. No pain, no gain.

Is it possible to fight multiple opponents? For example, a pack of wolves or a pair of goblins, things like that. Do we get some kind of bonus if we do that?

"Thomas..."
"Why can't you come in person, like a normal owner?"
"I'm a busy mage. Anyway, that was acceptable. Try to ham it up next time. Anyways, next you're going for a kobold. I'm sending him in myself, you'll know it's him because of the extra finger in his right hand. He'll be lightly armed. Have a good day!"
"Wait! Don't I get any--new...gear..."

That little wound's going to leave a light scar...  Either way though, Coce did well this time...  and even I kinda expected someone to die here and there.

Investments:
Another rank into armor user! (-20G)

G remaining:  5
Adversary:  Light Goblin

Hopefully, the relatively unlucky incident doesn't turn into something nasty, like a Giant Cave Spider out of nowhere.

Hm. I'm the only one to try a tougher enemy? This worries me a bit. Pah, I'm sure a decent sword will be enough against a damn cat.

I'd have considered the best kobold that was available, but well...  given the light gash to the arm...  I'm a bit paranoid hopping to the master kobold would mean the elf'd be a pile o' ribs.

And if it was possible, could two gladiators/slaves/meatbags team up?

As Nikolai delivered the finishing blow, he held the dead Dire Wolf above his head triumphantly. Small cheers were heard, for a new gladiator defeating a powerful wolf was uncommon, but it was not what Nikolai had craved. Still, it was a start. Taking his blade, he removed most of the Dire Wolf's fur and took it with him out of the arena.

"I want this tanned. It will be good for my image."
"Yes, I'll see what I can do. In the meantime, I want you to train a little, to be ready to truly make an impression upon the crowd. Damn fine work, I might add.


Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Make the wolf pelt into an item, train blowgunning (10) and buy copper gauntlets(22).
Oh, if that's only enough for a single gauntlet, equip to the blowgun arm.

I challenge THOMAS to a battle in the arena! I assume that gladiator match rules count here- the match can be won if the enemy forfeits, the enemy cannot fight or is declared the loser, or dies. I'm sort of not aiming to kill anyone but I want to make this interesting.

23 gold left, tell me to subtract whatever to have the wolf pelt made into a wearable item. If that isn't possible, he'll still wear it it just won't do anything.

"Thomas, heads up. There's a change of plans."
"What?"
"You're fighting twice today."
"But--"
"Oh, hello there, Nikoli. Good job with that dire wolf."
Thomas spun around and saw Nikoli, who had killed a dire wolf the previous evening.
"I'll have you know, without that surprise attack and a bit of a wolf-cold, you would have been lucky to get out of there with one arm and all other limbs intact. But, let's hear your challenge."
The barbarian scowled...


I'll let Tsuchigumo550 make Nikoli's reply if he let's me make Thomas's.

Stalking out of the arena to the enjoyment of his victory, Deneril went back to his master. "That was a pretty good fight. If I have enough, I'd like some copper gloves. I want the extra protection, and that should be most of it, though I would like a bit more shield training." "Ok, it looks like we have enough. I'll go get the stuff and call over the trainer. Do you feel up to a regular goblin?" "Sure."

Buy Copper Gloves and train Buckler to 3. Next fight is a regular goblin.

In any case it would be a battle of critical thinking and I refuse to fight an unarmed individual.

Slave Name: Gobluck
Race: Goblin [If that’s not okay then I suppose Human.]
Weapons: Copper Spear [-40 gold]
Armor: Copper Gloves [-12]
   Copper High Boots [-24]
   Copper Breast Plate [-30]
   Copper Helm [-24]
   Copper Leggings [-46]
Skills: Spearmanship
[With my 24 leftover gold [if I did my math right] I’d like to increase her Spearmanship by 1 level off the bat. Which should leave me with 14 gold left over yes?]

I suppose she'd go on the waiting list though wouldn't she? Never-the-less the orders stand if she ever gets accepted. Unless I messed up on my math.
