First off: This is an attempt to take over Tomio's arena from here. All the characters are carried over, but some features will be changed - additional spells, different creatures to fight, things like that. Since Tomio used his own system which wasn't published, I will narrate the fights using common sense and dice throws without any real cohesion. You won't have irrational fight results, that I can promise.
Also, my team will contiue participating, I guess you'll have to trust me not to cheat.

RACES

Assign 25 stat points

ELVES (-1 STR, +1 AGI)
Assign 20 stat points

KOBOLD (-1 STR, -1 AGI)

ORC (+3 STR, -3 AGI, default END is 6)
Assign 25 stat points, can't use ranged weapons

NIGHT CREATURES
You can't choose to be either of them. You can get infected in a fight or during special events.

WEREWOLF
Infected characters have a slight chance of transforming during a fight. The transformation yields +5 STR, AGI and END, but -10 INT, so this is extremely bad for wizards. All weapons and armor are dropped when transformed, and werewolves anything nearby. Werewolves have enhanced healing in both their normal and transformed state, so if they get injured (and NOT killed) during a fight, they recover for the next round without the usual helath penalty.
If your werewolf curse gets revealed in the arena, you need to forfeit half your winnings, because it is considered an illegal "move".
Cure is 500 gold, but optional of course.

VAMPIRE
Infected characters get a constant +5 boost to AGI, and +2 to END and STR. They can use weapons and armor without any problems. Vampires have a low chance to lose their self control at the sight of blood, and feed from an opponent during combat. This kills the opponent immediately, and restores the vampire's health, but results in the character's ban from the arena until he/she is cured, as vampires are generally shunned in society, and not allowed to compete in any way. Healing spells have a negative effect on them, but they have a natural healing factor. If they get injured (and NOT killed) during a fight, they recover for the next round without the usual helath penalty.
Cure is 1000 gold, also optional (but obviously recommended if the vampirism is discovered)

WEAPONS
RANGED
CROSSBOW: ONLY BY DWARVES+KOBOLDS
Tiers: training (starter) -> hunting -> war -> masterwork
Bolts
Start the fight with 25 normal bolts unless they are bought otherwise by player.
+1 vs ARMOR
Can be poisoned* for better effects.
BOW: ONLY BY ELVES AND HUMANS
Tiers: hunting (starter) -> longbow -> composite -> masterwork
Arrows
Start fight with 25 normal arrows unless some are bought by the player.

Special arrows/bolts:
Enchanted arrows/bolts 100 gold for one battle (choose the element: freezing, poison, fire, lightning)
Explosive arrows/bolts 200 gold for one battle, high damage, but beware of critical fails

MELEE WEAPONS

STARTER-BRONZE-IRON/SILVER-STEEL- ADAMANTINE
Mace: STARTER: Up to slade ONE HANDED
Maul: STARTER: Up to slade. TWO HANDED
¼ Pike/spear: Up to Adamantine TWO HANDED
AXE: STARTER: Up to Adamantine ONE OR TWO HANDED
AGILITY

“Claws” STARTER, Up to ADAMANTINE TWO HANDED (They're "claws", like Wolverine, but attachable to your hands using metal plates. You can wear bucklers with these, but they count as that.)
Tiers: Starter (copper) -> bronze -> iron -> steel (mithril for dwarves and kobolds) -> adamantine/slade

CREATURES TO BE FOUGHT/BOUGHT
FERAL

Wolf
Canis lupus. Come on, you know it.
Reward: 25 coins
Buying: 100 coins
Lion
Majestic creature, quite deadly.
Reward: 50 Coins
Buying: 200 coins
Tiger
Bigger, meaner than a lion.
Reward: 100 coins
Buying: 400 coins
Dire wolf
This got a boost, beacuse it's AWESOME. Basically a very-very big wolf.
Reward: 150 coins
Buying: 600 coins
Bear
The biggest normal animal to fight. It's quite bigger than the rest, more durable, but considerably less agile than the big cats or the wolves. Due to its size, it can shrug off most projectiles.
200 gold
Buying: 1000 coins
NOTE: you can't buy any animal under this line
Giant Eagle
Classic dwarf-eating bird of prey. Very fast, quite high damage, but not durable at all, and easily overcome when brought to the ground. Bringing it to the ground, however, can prove difficult.
200 gold
Cave crocodile
Huge, scaled underground beast with very thick skin and a strong bite. A bit on the slow side.
250 gold
Giant Cave Spider
A pretty fucking serious thing to even consider fighting, these are as big as bears, and much, much faster. They also have webbing and poison attacks, so this is only recommended for experienced teams.
400 gold
Roc
A legendary bird, known to all, and feared by most. This should definitely not be met without a really-really strong ranged team. Pure melee fighters have no chance at all.
2000 gold
Dragon
The ultimate fight anybody could hope for. These beasts are gigantic, very strong, they breathe dragonfire, and have dangerous claws and jaws. Of course they can also attack with their tail. Facing a dragon is a death sentence for most.
5000 gold

SENTIENT
Kobold (DAGGER)
Quite a wimp.
Reward: 40 coins
Kobold Shaman
Weak spellcaster, with a few tricks up his sleeve.
Reward: 80 gold

Goblin (Lightly armed)
Come on, it's a goblin.
Reward: 80 coins
Goblin Warleader
Some (but not full) iron armor, iron weapon, and the know-how to use it.
Reward: 200 coins

Batman
He is vengeance. He is the night. He... is... Batman. (sorry, I can't not try that joke every time) They are about the same size and strenght as a goblin, but they don't have armor. In exchange, they can fly and are very quick.
Reward: 100 gold
Squad of antmen
A single antman is nothing, but a whole bunch of them working together is no laughing matter. these fellows come in groups of five, each wielding a copper weapon, a shield and a helmet, but no more armor than that. You can't fight a single antman, that would not be entertaining for the crowd.
Reward: 120 gold

Human Cutpurse
Lightly armed human, without any armor or training. He is still a perfectly capable human being with a sharp object in his hand, so not exactly harmless.
Reward: 80 gold
Human Man-At-Arms
Some mediocre armor, decent weapon and training. This guy is quite stronger than an average starting gladiator.
Reward: 140 gold
Human Knight
Very well armored, strong fighter, although a bit on the slow side.
Reward: 250 gold
Human Berserker
High damage, low armor.
Reward: 150 gold
Human Gladiator Champion
Rugged-looking fellow, NOT to be underestimated under any circumstances.
Reward: 500 gold
Human Wizard
Wizards of the arena are at about the same level as a starting mage gladiator.
Reward: 100 gold
Human High Wizard
Dangerous, well-trained mages with level 3 spells.
Reward: 300 gold

Troll
Tall, hairy humanoids. They are not exactly intelligent, but they are very sturdy, and can take quite a pounding.
Reward: 400 gold
Ogre
Big, strong and powerful enemies, but they are quite slow, so it may be possible to evade them. They are armed with primitve weapons (like clubs) at best, and not armored. Maybe still a little weaker than Took Took.
Reward: 500 gold
Ogre chiefthain
More or less the same as normal ogres, but they have a random iron two-handed weapon, and some minor armor, like a helmet, shinguard, tattered breastplate or something. About the same as Took Took.
Reward: 800 gold
Minotaur
Smaller than an ogre, but equally strong and almost as durable. They typically wield axes, sometimes they have armor, and they are way more agile than ogres and trolls.
Reward: 1200 gold
Cyclops
Gigantic humanoids, twice the size of ogres. They are incredibly strong, and very hard to take down. They are slower than average, but not nearly as clumsy as ogres. They don't wear armor, as nobody could make it in their size, and even though they wield crude weapons (clubs, or even simply tree trunks), thanks to their strength, a single hit could all but the toughest gladiators.
Reward: 2000 gold
Bronze colossus
Huge metallic humanoids, their bronze body is almost impossible to penetrate. They are definitely slow, but almost indestructible by conventional means. They don't have weapons, as they don't need them.
Reward: 3000 gold

Werewolf
Strong as a troll, but much faster, these night creatures are feral and deadly. They have a low chance to turn players into werewolves during a fight.
Reward: 1000 gold
Vampire
Vampire form of a random sentient race. They have a low chance to turn players into vampires during a fight. They are similar to their original race, so they have weapons and similar characteristics, but their agility is greatly increased (+5), plus they have a considerable endurance and strength bonus (+2 each) as well.
Reward: 1000 gold

[Ishar]

Spells
Every spell has five levels.
Level 1: 50 gold
Upgrade to level 2: 100 gold
Upgrade to level 3: 150 gold
Upgrade to level 4: 200 gold
Upgrade to level 5: 250 gold
So buying a level 5 spell from scratch would cost 750 gold.

Basic
You get the level one spells of your alignment for free. Leveling up a spell that's not within your alignment costs double.
Fire
Firebolt:  high damage single target spell.
Flamethrower: Medium damage multiple target spell.
Flaming weapon: Bonus damage.
Enflame: Can be used against flammable materials (eg. animal fur, cloth), medium damage per turn. Lasts for turns equal to spell level +1
Water
Ice ball: High damage single target spell.
Heal: Mediocre single-target healing spell.
Freeze: Immobilizes target. Critical hit means deep-freeze, and shatter with the next attack. Higher levels mean higher success rates.
Earth:
Slab Shot: Mediocre damage single target spell.
Earthern Defence: Gives some extra armor and defence to others.
Stone root: Forces enemy to stand in one place. Enemy can still attack and defend, just can't step away. Lasts for spell level+1 turns.
Wind:
Gust of Wind: Multi-target spell. Heals allies a bit, damages enemies a bit. Max level is 3
Second Wind: Heal your allies, and allow them to do a little bit more damage.
Fly: Make self or an ally fly for two turns. Can lead to serious accidents, higher levels make it safer.
Lightning: Very high damage, single target. Difficult to aim, higher levels make it more accurate, damage is devastating from the start, but you have very little control at level 1.

Advanced:
You can buy these for 100 (if it's within your alignment) or 150 (if it isn't within your alignment)
Fire:
Sparklers: Fireworks! Distracts enemies, making it easier to hit them and harder for them to hit.
Fire shield: Cast on self or ally. Any physical attacker suffers low damage from each attack. Higher levels mean higher damage. Lasts for 3 turns.
Water:
Multiheal: Heal multiple teammates, or heal one of them multiple times.
Earth:
Stone Form: Makes it harder for you to dodge, but you take less damage and deal more damage at melee.
Wind:
Claws of Tornara: Summons a hurricane, distracting and damaging your foes.


CLASSES
Warrior: Standard melee guy. Can use light and heavy armor, can equip any melee weapon and shields/bucklers.
Ranger: Standard ranged guy. Can use light armor, can equip any ranged weapon depending on their race, and bucklers.
Mage: Standard mage. Has an elemental allignement. Can use light armor.

TRAITS:
STR: Strenght. Used for melee weapons, increases your use of armor.
END: Endurance. This is for upping your HP. This is 5 by default, you can only increase it by one at char creation, or by buying it. More on that later.
AGI: Agility. Used for dodging and ranged weapons.
INT: Intelligence. Used for casting spells and using enchanted items.

BUYING TRAIT POINTS.
It costs 50 each, except when going over ten, then it costs 150 each. Even higher than 15 isn't allowed until I have some more powerful mobs in the arena.

BUYING MORE GLADIATORS
This can be accomplished by paying 200x (amount of gladiators you have.)

STARTING GOLD
600, unless you take a Kobold, then it's 675.

ANIMAL TRAINING
War training: cost equals the buying value of the animal (eg. 100 for a wolf). Increases combat effectiveness greatly.
Armor plating: Copper: 100, Bronze: 200, Iron: 300, Steel: 500, Adamantine: 800
Weapons: Fuck no. That would be silly.

FAQ:

Can we fight animals in packs, so it gives us more precious gold?
Yup. Up to five animals can be fought at once.

What combat system are you using?
My own. It's quite difficult, but I can use it. If you want it, I'll send it to you. bullshit at the moment, there's room for improvement.

Can we buy more advanced weapons?
Yup. It costs 100 more every upgrade. FOR EXAMPLE: From STARTER to IRON: 300 (100 (STARTER-->BRONZE) +200 (BRONZE-->IRON) Same works for ranged weapons, so starter bow is free, starter->longbow is 100, longbow -> composite bow is 200, etc. Exception: top tier of melee weapons (adamantine/slade) costs 1000. It's a BIG leap.

How about spells?
They cost 50 more every upgrade, and start at level one. So level 1 is 50, upgrading to level 2 is 100, etc. Advanced spells use the same system, only their initial cost is higher, leveling them up is the same as basics.

When will you update?
Intersting fact: this was carried over from Tomio, but I also live in GMT+1, so not much has changed. Updates will probably NOT be wednesday and sunday, more like, say, wednesday and friday. My weekends are mostly very busy, I tend to not be around a computer.

Can we suggest stuff?
Stupid question. Just send it to me if you think it's a good idea.

What do we do if there is something missing in your post?
Send me what the hell is missing. Seriously, I'd like to know. Seriously, do that. I carried over much of the old arena, but there's a good chance things are missing.

Is there a limited amount of places?
Currently, no. I might say that enough is enough in the future, but you will know it when we reach that point.

He was a sellsword for quite a while, but then he decided that it was simpler and potentially more lucrative to voluntarily sign himself up as a gladiator. This was kind of convenient for him, as he was and still is a free man, so he can manage himself, and keep all the winnings. Aims to put together a formidable team to live a life of luxury. Kind of a selfish prick.
In battle, he favors quick movement, light armor, and a single two-handed weapon.

If you win, one of them joins you (your choice which one).
If one of the dwarves already joined a gladiator team, he/she doesn't participate (that means less enemies), and of course you can't choose that one to join you.
The maximum of TWO teams can work together for this.
Gladiators who get killed here get revived for free.
Teams who won this before can't attempt it again.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

I'll sign up for the special!

[Ishar]

First off, some changes:
- STR is for melee, AGI is for ranged and dodging. It makes more sense, I don't think anybody suffers a setback really.
- Additional creatures, and some bullshit ones removed. Read up.
- Additional spells. Browse at your leisure.
- Direwolves and lions switched places. First off, tigers are bigger and stronger than lions. Second, direwolves are way cooler than both. I know this seems to give my team some more edge, but for compensation, I will not fight in this first round - my winnings should be have been enough to cover the costs.
- You can't buy sentients anymore, that confuses things. Mesor, I know you have a human mage, please write a character sheet for him/her, and that mage will become a normal gladiator.
- New special event.
- Changed Elfcollaborator's fight to two lions. Forcing you to fight the new direwolves would not have been fair.

Now, for some fightin':

Spoiler: Elfcollaborator (click to show/hide)

Mog and Cadmus walk into the arena, and while the crowd cheers them on, two cages open at the opposite end, and two hungry lions burst out. Mog instantly casts his flamethrower, hitting both of the beasts hard. The first one's mane even catches fire, which breaks its charge, and the lion starts to roll on the ground fanatically, trying to put out the flames. The other one doesn't seem to care about the damage though, and charges on. Cadmus lets an arrow loose towards the beast, but the shot misses, and the lion runs him over. Before it can start to chew on Cadmus's throat however, Mog blasts it with a firebolt, which launches the whole body of the big cat into the air, landing it several meters away. While that lion is officially out of the picture, the other got up to its feet, and runs at Cadmus. He manages to dodge this time, and shoot the passing lion's hind leg. While this wasn't a killing shot, it proved to be effective, beacuse it slowed the creature down, enough for Mog to finish the job with another firebolt. It seems like animals and fire don't mix well.

You win 100 gold!

1 kobold db 2 goblins
elves, mage
The last kobold deathbringer is in the arena now, with two goblins at his side. The crowd boos first, seeing three well-armed fighters against such timid creatures - they came here for a spectacle, not a massacre after all - but they are quickly silenced, when Thranduil fires his first arrow, right into the goblin's eye socket. The goblin slowly falls over, while the other goblin and the kobold look at him, as puzzled as the audience. This gives time for the mage to fire an ice ball at the other goblin, knocking him over. Celeborn closes the distance, and clashes with the deathbringer, with surprising effectiveness. His first attack slashes through the kobold's left arm, almost completely chopping it off. The lethally injured creature drops to his knees, screaming, and while Celeborn moves in for a killing blow, he feels a sudden pain in his right leg. the goblin that was knocked over by the ice ball got back up to his feet, and managed to sneak behind the elf fighter, dealing a serious blow. Celeborn falls over, and the dying deathbringer manages to slash him with the final, desperate attack of his life. Thranduil and the mage bring down the remaining goblin swiftly, but the damage has been done, and they carry their injured teammate out of the arena. The crowd is pleased, as they could see some pretty sweet moves this time.

You win 320 gold, but Celeborn is injured, and has to start the next fight wirth half HP, or skip one turn. By the way, this was interesting, a bunch of critical hits in a row.

Spoiler: Tsuchigumo (click to show/hide)

Sanya doesn't waste his time. Immediately after the announcer gives his mark to start the fight, he opens with a flamethrower, hitting both the cutpurses. They know they don't have a chance if they play it defensively however, and they run towards him despite their injuries. Sanya blinds one of them with sparkles, and narrowly avoids the other one, blasting him with a firebolt. The bandit tries to get up, but collapses in the end. The other one regains his sight, but too little, too late: the only thing he sees is the incoming firebolt, at since he has no time to dodge, the blast is a direct hit, killing him instantly. The fight is over, and the crowd celebrates Sanya's newest victory.

You win 160 gold, and I need to add: these guys were way beneath your level. You could definintely aim higher next time.

Nikolai special coming tomorrow.

Oh, and I want to try my hand at the special, if anybody else is up for it. If not, then the original berserker+knight idea is in effect.

Tsuchigumo: Don't choose a new opponent before the Nikolai special is up. You might want to consider its results.

Elfcollaborator: Still up for the special, even with your injured team member? Your options:
-Use all three of your guys, with my Sir as the fourth gladiator. Possible winnings are 600, and the chance of getting the alpha.
-Use the two healthy ones, teaming up with Ishar and Sir, leaving Celeborn resting. Possible winnings are 400+the possible wolf.
-Choose to do something else entirely.

[mesor]

I'm in for the special.
Although my wounded man will have to sit it out.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

It was mesor's guy who was wounded, not mine.
Still up for the special.

[Ishar]

Whoops, sorry, you are right, my bad.

Spoiler: Nikolai's adventures (click to show/hide)

Nikolai woke up in a cart, trapped in a large wooden cage. As he looked around, he saw the town, way behind the wagon, and saw a hooded figure in front of the cage.
-Ah, you woke up. Good, you seem to be quite a sturdy fellow. You will earn me a lot of gold on the slave market.
Of course, Nikolai had another idea for himself. While his weapon was taken obviously, he still managed to force open the lock during the night. What he didn't manage, though, was sneaking away from his captor. The slaver woke up, jumped to his feet, and attacked Nikolai with his dagger. The arena fighter was prepared, though, disarmed and wrestled his opponent ot the ground. Both of them tried to get the dagger on the ground, but none of them managed to reach it. Nikolai was way stronger though, and simply choked his opponent to death after a brief struggle. He looted the wagon, finding his original equipment, and took the dagger. Unfortunately, the slaver had no gold on him.

You get a bronze dagger, you can sell it, or give it to Sanya. Nikolai also got +1 STR from the ordeal.

Next update tomorrow, because this will be a long weekend for me, and I won't be able to update until next wednesday. Tsuchigumo, please choose a fight until tomorrow morning, or your turn will be skipped.

Spoiler: Elfcollaborator and Mesor: special challenge (click to show/hide)

The two gladiator teams enter the arena, cheered on by the crowd. They take their positions, and the direwolves' cage opens. Their leader stays back for now, but the other four sprint forward, each choosing a gladiator as an opponent. Since all of them are ranged fighters, the gladiators have time for a pre-emptive attack.
Thranduil fires an arrow in haste, that flies off into the distance. He quickly loads up another, and fires toward his wolf, barely wounding it. This only manages to enrage the wolf, which tackles Thranduil to the ground. It bites into his arm, incapacitating him for a good while.
His teammate water mage fared much better, freezing the approaching direwolf, and immediately following it up with an ice ball, that shatters the opponent. He goes to help his teammate.
Meanwhile, Mog fires off a firebolt, completely messing it up. He stays calm however, and fires up another, igniting the beast's fur. Cadmus fires at the last approaching wolf, hitting it straight in the head. The beast was not down completely, and managed to somehow evade the second shot. Both of these wolves reached the gladiators at this point, Mog is brought to the ground, but Cadmus successfully dodged the attack and counter: this third arrow finally brings down the direwolf. This doesn't help Mog much, he couldn't break free of the beasts hold, and the wolf claws him is the chest. Cadmus fires an arrow to help him, and the wolf turns to him. This time, the wolf manages to bite his arm, and he can't do anything about it at all. The only thing that saves him is a last effort from Mog, a firebolt hitting the direwolf in the back.
Three of the four normal direwolves are down, but half of the gladiators are severly injured as well. The combined effort of the remaining fighters brings down the fourth wolf, and Mog passes out. Thranduil manages to get back on his feet, and his water mage companion heals him, making him able to fight again, but not at full efficiency. They don't have time for much else, because the alpha runs at them furiously. Cadmus notices it first, hitting it in the leg, slowing the approaching direwolf a bit. This gives time for Thranduil to fire off his arrow, but, being injured, he misses his mark. The water mage tries to freeze it, but fails as well.
The wolf decides that Cadmus is the only dangerous one, and brings him to the ground, and bites through his throat as the others look in horror. They quickly get their act together, and fire at the alpha together, with brutal efficiency. The wolf is brought to the ground, and when it tries to get back up, Thranduil shoots it in the head, finally killing it.
The Armok priests revive and heal the fallen fighters, and they all get a hefty sum of gold.

Both teams earn 400 gold, Mesor gets an alpha direwolf. Mog levels up the firebolt spell. This was a fairly even fight, although a few melee fighters would have helped you immensely.

Spoiler: My own fight (click to show/hide)

Sir and Ishar walk into the arena, proudly presenting themselves, and as always, the crowd goes wild with the promise of a good fight. Their roar quiets down a bit, when they see the opposing team: it's the same knight the team fought in the previous round, accompanied by an even larger berserker than before. As it was to be expected, the berserker charges madly, swatting away the direwolf, and running into the sword of Sir, impaling himself. That was... surprisingly quick. The crowd cheers on, as the knight reaches the veterans.
He slashes Ishar, who tries to block the attack, but fails, as the sword hits his left arm. He is bleeding quite heavily, but mostly able to fight on, countering immediately. His blow doesn't pierce the armor of the knight, but throws him off balance a bit. This is enough for Sir to deliver a striking blow with his mithril sword, bringing the knight to his knees. He recognises this new threat, and stabs towards Sir, hitting him in the chest. This breaks the dwarf's stance quite a bit, but his armor protects him from any real damage. With the knight's back to him now, Ishar attacks again, with much less efficiency. That arm wound takes its toll.
Sir clashes with the knight again, missing his target this time. The knight doesn't waste his time, and slashes both of the former commander's legs, bringing him to the ground. He tries to follow up with another strike, which Sir manages to evade, although barely. Ishar desperately tries to help his friend, this time hitting the knight's helmet. While this still isn't enough for real damage, it stuns the knight enough for Sir to deliver a serious blow. This might not have been enough before, but the mtihril sword finqally pierces the armor, right at the stomach.
The knight stumbles forward, and Sir hold up his large sword, and the knight can't hold back, and gets impaled just like his companion.

The team earns 400 gold. Sir is heavily wounded, he starts the next fight with half HP.

Tsuchigumo: You still have a few hours to choose a fight for today. Next update will be around wednesday.
Mesor: Again, please write a character sheet for your water mage.
Everybody: Since level 1 spells of the alignment are free now, every mage magically learned those immediately. Don't ask, it's magic.
