Alright, I feel this is sufficient. A stage shall be selected at random, I shall post the match soon.

I pick the Meadow or the Castle Top for Bax's first round.

I'll wait until the first round is finished to close predictions, but that will make the mirror outdated until the first round is finished.

In the future, we could select our favourite maps at the beginning, maybe something like selecting 2 maps that we like and one that we dislike. If the opponents share a liked map, that map is used, otherwise a random one is selected from the map pool without the disliked maps. That way we could have an impact on the selected map even if we can't be there.

What in the circus did you just say about Shotgun, you little gobbo? I'll have you know he's an ex-Army of the Coalition of Pearls swordsman with over 300 confirmed kills!

Also I'm down with fighting in the Meadow, too.

Excellent idea!

Agreed. That sounds like an exceptional suggestion.

I did mention Varick's preferred arenas, so I agree with that idea. It makes it much easier since people always have different hours and availabilities.

Storming the royal halls of men,
The goblins kill them once again,
And when his mighty scepter swings,
Man dies at the hand of the goblin king!

Elimination Match I
Ina the Tall VS. Narhtan the Crundle Bundle

Welcome ladies, gentlemen, and assorted other! Today is the beginning of the Elimination round in our grand tournament! Twenty-two gladiators have battled it out in the qualifiers, sixteen of whom have advanced. Lets have a round of applause for the losers!

Alright! Now entering the arena is a cannibal straight from the Spooky Trees, weighing in at 60,000 Urists, it's Ina the Tall! Ina is large, even for elf standards, today he has come to our lovely den of gore to prove that even elves can fight on the level of their rivals the dwarves. Even if they're clad in soft wood.

And his opponent, an old little fellow that just doesn't fit in right at home. Weighing a meager 10,000 Urists, welcome Narhtan the Crundle Bundle! Supposedly he is too docile and intelligent to live with other crundles, so let us welcome him into our family with open arms!

I think this may have been one of the quickest matches in our short history! The elf valiantly charges into the steadfast little Narhtan. However, his speed and small stature win out the day, sending the poor elf into a stupor after chipping a bone. Two more vicious lashes to the head leave the elf deader than dead. Proving that even a crundle as tame as Narhtan is still a crazy little bugger!

Hodekin's preferences are Castletop and Peaceful Meadow. Dislike: Water Hazard (poor guy can't swim)

Whoa! And I thought crundles were only dangerous in large numbers...

Our time in the Arena is so brief. Begone fear!
