How long will the challenge last? And can we team up (it seems like it says you don't have to, just checking.

[Ishar]

You can't team up for this, you are bound by the limits of your own team.

Spoiler: My fight (click to show/hide)

Amroth opens the fight with his usual lightning, and it's unusually spot on: it hits one of the bears square in the face, effectively ending it. The wo remaining bears get enraged by this, and storm the team. Ishar and Sir each take on a bear, and the equipment difference shows: Ishar wildly slashes at the bear, to no effect, while Sir manages to deliver a few deep cuts. The direwolf sees its master in trouble, and jumps at the troat of Ishar's opponent, and the two beasts fall to the ground together. Ishar uses the moment to stab the bear in the head with his sword, finishing it off. The only remaining bear punches Sir in the face, brining him to the ground. Amroth casts second wind on him, so the dwarf gets back up, but the bear brings him down again, this time knocking him out cold. Ishar and the direwolf reach him at this point however, and the injured bear is no match for the combined effort of the wild beast and the veteran fighter.

600 gold for me.

Tyd promptly shoots down one of the wolves with his opening move. The crowd cheers, as Ettad collides with one of the others, splitting that one's skull as well. The last wolf turns to him instantly, but he manages to hold the animal back with his shield. This gives time for Tyd to carefully aim and shoot again, killing that wolf with a headshot.

You gain 75 gold for the wolves, and another 75 for the three critical-kills.

Spoiler: Mesor's fight (click to show/hide)

Thranduil quickly fires an arrow at the approaching man-at-arms, getting a lcuky hit to his weapon-hand. Radaghast deep-freezes one of the others, Celeborn jumps there with his new steel claws, and shatters the frozen enemy to pieces. The direwolf tries to take the third one, but gets badly cut up in the process. Celeborn quickly changes opponents, rushing for the uninjured enemy. Radaghast manages to heal the direwolf just before the injured fighter reaches him, and knocks him out with one blow. Thranduil fires at the same guy again, this time hitting his torso. The seriously injured man-at-arms falls to his knees, and the alpha finishes him off. Celeborn isn't falling behind either, he decapitates the last enemy with a single cut.

You gain the following:
100 gold for the criticals
Equipment, armor, metal, bronze. -1AGI, +3 ARMOR
Leggings: 100                 
Armor: 160     
Boots: 60         
Helmet: 80 

Spoiler: Elfcollaborator's fight (click to show/hide)

Mog welcomes the charging enemies with a flamethrower, which throws them off balance a bit. Cadmus misses either way, but Medea manages to scroe a hit with a well-placed ice ball, koncking one of the enemies on his back. The wolf takes this chance to rush in, and begins to bite and claw at the fallen soldier.
The other two reach the gladiators, one of them slashes at Mog (failing), and the other tries to attack Cadmus, but gets an arrow to the leg instead. Medea casts a freezing spell on Mog's opponent, but it barely slows the soldier down. However, this gives Mog enough time to cast a firebolt in the general direction of Cadmus's opponent, hitting the man-at-arms on his back. That fighter is barely standing, so Cadmus finishes him off. Mog's luck has run out though: he fails to evade his oppoenent anymore, and the man-at-arms impales him right then and there. Cadmus wants to avenge his fallen teammate, but rushes the shot, and misses. The team's wolf fares a bit better, as it's finished with the previous enemy, and goes in to bite at the last enemy. It bites through the leather armor, causing serious pain. The soldier counterstrikes, knocking the wolf down. Medea heals the beast a bit, and Cadmus shoots him in the chest. The disoriented enemy is finished off by the wolf.

You gain this set:
Equipment, armor, metal, bronze. -1AGI, +3 ARMOR
Leggings: 100                 
Armor: 160     
Boots: 60         
Helmet: 80 

Spoiler: Tsuchigumo's fight (click to show/hide)

Sanya casts his trademark flamethrower, setting both of the lions on fire. Nikolai kills one of them, but the other one is right on top of him, bringing him down face-first into the dirt. Sanya helps him out with a firebolt, and that gives Nikolai enough time to turn around, and behead the lion with a strong slash.

You gain 100 gold, plus 50 for the critical. You have 410 gold by the way. You might want to spend it.

Note: Please keep track of your money, everyone.

[Ishar]

I use the gold to war-train the direwolf.

I will go for an two ogres next round, which is next wednesday, by the way.
The special event stays, and it's strongly suggested for the weaker teams to take it. The next one will be something for spellcasters.

[TopHat]

I'll take the 2 men at arms armour challenge.

[mesor]

(( I have a suggestion for a challenge after the caster one.

Could we have one that is say something like 6 trolls 4 ogres 1 ogre chieftain? It's something that would test us even if all our groups went in together. ))

[Ishar]

Interesting idea. Your team, and mine could realistically take on an ogre each. The others, not so much... I will need to tweak that idea a bit, but yes, I was thinking about doing a high-level special next time.

I've added a few things into the entry post, orcs as a new playable race, a few new enemies, and stats for the previously nonexistent copper armor.

[mesor]

Our teams combined would slaughter a chieftain and 4 ogres without much problem if we got good rolls, the numbers would hurt but the other groups would be able to draw some fire off us if not kill some trolls. It'd be a close run thing but I wanted it that way so we won't know who would win.
And the prize would be huge for winning that as well.

[Ishar]

I did not completely forgot to update this, only almost forgot it.

Spoiler: My fight (click to show/hide)

Amroth screws the first lightning up, the team doesn't even look surprised at this point. The direwolf is the first to reach the two ogres, and the war training shows: it easily evades their clumsy attacks, and bites one of the monsters at the wrist, disarming it. Ishar uses that opporutinty to the maximum, and sinks his sword deep into the ogre's chest. The enraged ogre bats him away in retaliation, and the sword remains stuck in its chest.
Sir faces the other opponent alone, they exchange a few quick blows, and neither one is able to hurt the other. The direwolf comes in to help the dwarf, and bites at the ogre's ankle, disorienting it somewhat. For its efforts, the wolf gets clubbed in the side, that sends it flying away. Amroth fires another lightning bolt, hitting the confused ogre in the head. The beast falls down on its back, and Sir finishes it off.
Ishar is busy dodging for his life, as the other, heavily bleeding ogre is trying to catch him. The direwolf gets back at its feet at this point, and jumps at the ogre's troat. War-trained or not, the wolf is still no match for the huge ogre, but it hardly matters, as the blood loss slowly takes its toll, and the ogre eventually collapses.

1000 gold. Time to upgrade from that iron sword, this could have been easier.

Spoiler: Tophat's fight (click to show/hide)

Tyd tries to get in the mood with a fancy headshot, but instead, he manages to screw it up, completely missing his target. As he has the attetion of one man-at-arms, Ettad charges the other. He is strong enough to knock his opponent off his feet with a shield bash, but isn1t quick enough to deliver a killing blow. The soldier trusts upwards with his spear, impaling Ettad's weapon-hand. even though he drops his axe, the adrenaline rush is enough for him to bash in the enemy's troat, ending him.
Tyd fires again, this time scoring a solid hit. This barely gives him enough time to dodge the battleaxe of the other soldier. Ettad almost collapses from his injury, but manages to regain his standing, and moves in to help the kobold, armed only with his shield. The axeman notices his approach, and delivers a brutal swing, shattering his other arm as well, the shield doesn't help him much. Tyd uses the opportunity, and shoots the man-at-arms in the back immediately, now he is heavily injured. Ettad finally collapses from the pain, but nobody pays him any attention now, as Tyd is busy surviving the duel, and the human fighter is now completely focused on the kobold. The nimble kobold avoids his axe two times, and manages to reload just before the third, now scoring a perfect headshot that ends the battle then and there.

You gain the following:
Equipment, armor, metal, copper. +1 ARMOR
Leggings: 75               
Armor: 120     
Boots: 40       
Helmet: 50
Ettad is healed by the priests.

Spoiler: Mesor's fight (click to show/hide)

Thranduil easily hits the ogre with his first move. Regardless of the powerful composite bow, the arrow itself doesn't do much damage, and the ogre barely notices it, but the posion will take its toll soon... Radaghast tries to freeze the ogre to gain some time to deal with the tigers, and although he fails to freeze the ogre solid, the beast is definitely slowed down a bit. The alpha throws itself towards the four tigers, and quickly overpowers one of them. The three others try to claw the direwolf, but the copper armor protects it long enough for Celeborn to help. He quickly slashes one of tiger's troat, but doesn't manage to evade the others. So the alpha dominates one of the tigers, slowly biting it to death, one of the beasts is dead, and two of them are on top of the fallen Celeborn.
The ogre is after Thranduil now, but with its reduced speed, the elf dodges it without much difficulty, firing poisoned arrows at it. The ogre starts to feel the effect of the posion at this point, but Radaghast's freezing spell also slowed down its circulatory system, so it's definitely still a serious threat. Radaghast heals Celeborn, which gives him enough boost to break free from the tigers, and even cut into the bowels of one. That tiger soon collapses, and the other is tackled to the ground by the alpha, which finished its first opponent by now. Celeborn trusts the alpha to deal with the remaining tiger, and joins Thranduil against the ogre, a bit too late.
The freezing spell expired, and that caught the elf ranger off guard: he takes a club to the stomach, knocking him out cold. Several of his bones may be broken, he's definitely out from this fight. Celeborn slashes at the ogre, but doesn't cause much more than shallow cuts. Radaghast fares better, with his ice ball hitting the monster's face. Celeborn attacks again, cutting a deep gash into the left arm. They do battle for quite a while, the fighters aren't able to slay the monsters with sheer power, but it finally collapses from Thranduil's posion. In the end, no other fighter is hurt, just the ranger.

You gain 900 gold. Thranduil is seriously injured, he needs to sit the next one out, or fight with half HP.

Spoiler: Elfcollaborator's fight (click to show/hide)

Cadmus shows off his longbow skills by promptly shooting one of the tigers in the face, killing it instantly. The crowd goes wild, this opening move is a rare feat. The other tiger avoids Mog's firebolt, and kills the team's wolf mid-charge. Snaps its neck, pronto. Medea deep-freezes it in turn, and Cadmus shatters the frozen tiger with a well-placed shot. The crowd is pleased, this was a great show of skill.

You gain 200 gold, plus another 100 for the criticals. This was weird, quite a chain of critical hits and fails.

[Ishar]

I will buy a steel sword for Ishar (300), buy mithril leggings, boots and helmet for Sir, completing the set (total of 600) and raise Sir's END to 10 (100).

Spoiler: My team (click to show/hide)

Name: Ishar
Traits:
STR: 10
END: 6
AGI: 10
INT: 4
Backstory:
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.

Spells: Gust of Wind lvl 1, Second Wind lvl 1, Fly lvl 1, Lightning lvl 3

War-trained Direwolf

Change of rules: the last melee upgrade, adamatine, costs 1000. Because 400 for the steel-adamatine transition is a joke, my team would only need to repeat the previous ogre business to equip both my melee guys with godlike weapons.

I will send Amroth into the special (feel free to join him, but I'll do it alone if I must), and the others will take on a few underground critters, to promote them, as nobody seems to be interested:
2 squads of antmen
1 cave crocodile
1 giant cave spider
At least there's a good chance I1ll get my ass handed to me without my mage, and maybe rebalance these creatures if needed.

[mesor]

Radaghast endurance to 10 ( 200 )
Radaghast agility to 10 ( 150 )
Radaghast intelligence to 10 ( 100 )

Thranduil strength to 8 ( 50 )

Remaining gold 30.

Btw, you don't have posion arrows, those were just for one battle.
Anyway, your team seems to catch up to my own. Interesting...

[mesor]

(( I know I figured the ogre would be tough the poison was just a fall back option although I did not consider the water magics effect on it, I'm not taking on ogres until my mage is back so I have some time .
