I frankly feel kind of insulted. You give us some barebones ruleset without explaining how anything works and expect us to know what the hell we are supposed to do and get angry when we dont. A man can harm a lion unarmed its just very difficult but thats the point, i want to weed out the newcomers, since i dont want to pay for food, money and training on anyone who isnt superb material. That aside i said from the beginning that one of the three would be armed, as to make things more interesting not that all are unarmed.

But all that ranting aside i would appreciate some proper ruleset and an explanation as to what we are supposed to do and how this is supposed to work. So far i've been fumbling through, maybe detox knows the rules maybe not but i feel hes just as confused as i am about most of this.

[RoseHeart]

Ah. Sorry I didn't clarify. You weren't here for the first Gladiators so you don't know about the old hag. That last post was in character. She's not very nice.

What she says is not the word of God but she is wise.

She sees her words have upset Ghazkull.

"I know what you're thinking. This is all supposed to be one big bloodbath, right? Wrong! Wait until they're paying the big bucks for that.

For those unknowns they pay us with peanuts. So we give them some violence, just long enough that maybe someone gets hurt yes maybe someone even dies. But that's never the point. You make a fair fight as you say the best will rise.

Make sure every man has a weapon. I'm sure their slaves for good reason but let's give him that one dignity."

[RoseHeart]

”...I have an idea".



BACKROOM

The hag lines up Nerdelium, Killius, Jagula and a caged Toh.

She begins to hand them their weapons one at a time...

Nerdelium is given two falchions- the second is unmistakably the one that was held by Excalia. She admires how fit he looks having been fed properly.

Killius recieves a Corinthian helmet and his maul. She pours a warm approval over him. He is also looking better after eating well.

But stops at Jagula... "The beast will be your weapon." Her eyes look up to him in a plea for agreement but she does not wait long enough to receive one. As she walks away, a guard drapes a jaguar skin around him.

The hag open up her loud, agrivating speaking voice. "Survive your second fight and you will be veterans. That means you are valuable and I will respect that value by allowing you to earn your freedom."



THE PIT

Within moments the the three men are rapidly marched towards the growing mania. The once muffled murmers rip open in the pit to full, open shouting.

The two armed men are sectioned off together at one side, while the jaguar garbed man the other... without a weapon.

In a foreign language a man shouts something. The audience's attention falls upon the gladiators once again.

But before they can start. Animal growls and roars are heard coming from the dark recesses of the gates... Nothing exits but something is waiting beyond.

The audience is scared.

Gladiators post turns in a spoiler marked GM only. All gladiators are active.

[Detoxicated]

He might feel kind of insulted, but i actually think to myself: "Go find a hobby"
Seriously I am not going deeper into this at all, as Ghazkull has explained it all...

SO mr knuckle skull game master I am out of here... Next time you start a game make sure to explain the rules and make sure that you do not insult any of your players.

So i guess ghazkull wins...!

(A couple manager positions opened up.)

 Here's my action, but I won't be able to reply soon, since I'm in a no/low signal area.

Run forward and rip the maul from Killius's hands, and throw it towards Jagula.

[KiwiOui]

Grip my maul in a defensive position, ready for whatever may emerge from the darkness.

[piratejoe]

Spoiler: GM only (click to show/hide)

Rush out of the darkness and bite the closest person in the arm, then try to throw them at another gladiator.

[RoseHeart]

Skip deadline will be pushed back a day. Gobble gobble

dodge any attacks that come my way.

[RoseHeart]

-Turn 1-



From both sides the strange sounds of animals are matched from the darkness to their terrible forms that come lunging towards the small spattering of frail men.



JAGULA is surounded. He gets low, and ready. The announcer welcomes PIJO the bear!



Longtime local favorite TOH the lion darts past the jaguar skin garbed man and heads straight for KILIUS. He defends a pounce by thrusting his maul sideways into it's mouth. The lion doesn't let go and they struggle for control over it. The lion gaining the advantage.

The jaguar man dances around the bustling black bear, which is quickly moving him towards the other men.

[RoseHeart]

Going to switch the following names(because I naturally type them as):

Killius →KILIUS

Nerdelium →NERDELLIUM

Maul the guy in front of me, bite his legs off even.
