paralysing leg may fail and actually give him time to recover

+1, but focus attack and use 6 MP

[Ross Vernal]

The first hatchet flying through the air strikes him just to the side of the neck with a sickening crack!; the spear falls as the second hits blade-side first and lodges in his shoulder. He manages to roll to the side and draw the shortsword, although by that time, it's too late for him to stop the inevitable as you swing down to finish it by taking his head.

In a last moment of defiance, the Soldier pushes hard with his hip and thrusts the sword into your thigh as your strike lands in his stomach, shattering his spine. He glares hatred and defiance at you as he hisses and pushes the blade all the way through, then goes limp as he dies. You make sure to land on him as you fall, hands going to the sword lodged in your leg. It missed the artery, but being pierced through is quite painful. From the pounding of your heart and your breath, you can't quite hear the crowd, but you see them from the corner of your eyes as they rise to their feet. The sound of cheers steadily grows, and as the healers remove the weapon from your leg, stop the bleeding, and cast the spells to help you regenerate (itchy spells, unfortunately), you grin, weary but happy.

100g victory - 10g maintenance fee - 10g injury fee - 30g owner's cut - 50g earned

Reaction scene coming after I go out for dinner!

[Kassire]

Woo, but we should put some use for focus attack next time

[Ross Vernal]

When you next have agency, you are in the slave barracks, holding a sack of gold with half your winnings. Between the 30% owner cut, the rent on the weapons, and the service charge for the healing, half is gone before you even touched it. Well, it's better than nothing.

What are you going to do with the money?
A) Buy a weapon. I'm not going to rent low-quality gear.
B) Buy a better room!
C) Pay tithes to Liagora
D) Put money towards the Contract
E) Seek training in a level I have
F) Seek training in a level I don't have
G) Bank the gold
H) Buy supplies for battle
I) Buy post-battle healing at a discounted rate in advance
J) Something else

You also need to decide on your official name, too, but you have a few days in which to choose (in-character).

I'd rather use it to buy a weapon so we don't have to spend money renting shit-quality weapons, but eh. We might get bonuses from paying tithes. +1

[scapheap]

We could buy a weapon then offer the remaining money to Liagora.

[Andres]

Nah, let's just give thanks for sparing us in our first fight.

Yeah, donating half to our deity is twice as impious than not paying at all. Might as well just donate all of it.

As Cheesecake said, it would be somewhat impious to only give the huntress half of our first blood. For all we know, withour her involvement we might not even get this chance at revenge, no? ;3
Also, our spells clearly made an impact. Our enemy never truly evaded us, nor hit us before the end.


Still, after next round getting our own, sharp axe sounds about right. Maybe also some combat training. While armour also would be nice at some point, for the start I would rather bet on offensive power.
