Right. Let's do this.
Final Speed Roll:
(1+2 vs 5) Kaiso verus Adnalsnah, Adnalsnah goes first, recieves two attacks. Note: This is the last two people fighting. The combat will continue until one or both combatants are incapacitated.
No one else requires speed rolls.
Why am I taking a -1? I got rid of the spear at the beginning of the fight, and never attempted to get it again.
Also, did you notice the rest?
>Dodge right on his first attack
>Dodge right if he gets a second attack
>Dodge left if he gets a third attack
>Slash with sword
>Dive towards an axe
>Grab it
>Stand up
"RAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHH! You're gonna regret that!"
Thrust one dagger at his eyes, while striking him in the gut with the hilt of the other one. Try to force him away from the axes.

Kaiso stumbled as he charged forward at Adnalsnah, giving Adnalsnah a half a second opening. Adnalsnah drew his sword from it's leather sheathe, and drove forward into Kaiso, sidestepping his clumsy slash easily, and smashing his sword off Kaiso's midriff forcefully. Kaiso stumbled back, trying to get enough space to strike back at Adnalsnah, but Adnalsnah pushed in. Kaiso deflected the next two swings, but his own attacks were pressed back in the storm of Adnalsnah's advance.
Adnalsnah brought his sword up, into Kaiso's armpit, pushing the fast Helvetii back, and numbing his arm. Adnalsnah swept up his axe in his off hand, and squared off again. Kaiso was prepared this time, and easily parried and dodged Adnalsnah's attacks for a moment. Then Adnalsnah stomped on Kaiso's foot, and headbutted him roughly. Blood spurted from the Helvetii's nose, and he yanked his foot out from under Adnalsnah's foot. Without giving another step, Kaiso headbutted Adnalsnah back. The already wounded Roman pirate swayed with the force of the blow, and stumbled back.
Kaiso stepped forward, driving his daggers hard at Adnalsnah's eyes, but Adnalsnah twisted his face to the side, instead getting gouged by the wooden points in the side of his cheek and on the bridge of his nose. Adnalsnah's axe swept up, and hammered into Kaiso's chin with a sharp crack.
Kaiso fell unconscious... Onto the already unconscious form of the wounded Roman.
Doctore looked on with approval, and gestured at the Medicus, saying, "Now that was a good fight. Let's get these two cleaned up and fed, shall we?
"[Was that some sort of insult? Um...could be anything. Prayer to dark gods? Proposal of some kind? I really need to learn the local tongue. Excuse me, what did he just say?]"
Rhame nodded blankly at the exuberant Thracian, hoping whatever words were spilling from his mouth were good. Steveus, for his part, pounded Rhame on the back roughly, and wandered off toward the dorms, apparently hungry.
Doctore turned to Rhame while carrying Kaiso, and said, "[He said you fought well. The two swarthy gladiators there speak Egyptian well, you should try talking to them. Or picking up some Latin.]"
acquire wine
Velligus stormed off, away from the guards, and asked the other gladiators where he could acquire wine. They pointed him vaguely toward the dormitory area, and he wandered around in there until he found a fat-bellied woman stirring a pot of stew. He asked her for wine, in broken Latin, and was surprised when she said in perfect Gaul, "{Plenty of wine in this pitcher over here. Grab a cup and get some yourself, I'm busy.}" Velligus nodded happily and started getting drunk...
((Sorry for absence, exams going on, spare time to make this post.))
Kora put a hand to her nose and began stifling the flow of blood, tilting her head upwards slightly as she responded to the Doctore's statement with a nod, both in acknowledgement and as thanks in recognition of her efforts, subtly sniffing out the remnants of fluid in her nose and cleaning it nearby.
She then inquired as to what types of weapons and armor were available - especially for a lightly armed fighter who has a penchant for weapons with reach.
Doctore smiled as he turned back from talking to the Egyptian. Kora shook blood off her hand into the sand as she followed him to the Medicus. He said, "There are several kinds of fighting styles favored by the crowds. The weapons and armor vary from fighting style to fighting style. The first is the
