[GreenKnight]

Solemn uses Fae Blessing to restore 1d4+(Syn/2) HP to all allies within 0 Range.

She also uses her free basic heal on Alina to recover 1d4+(Syn/2) HP.

[Chevaleresse]

Alina moves to Zone 4.

Both Hellhounds attack, dealing a total of 8 damage to Solemn, Tethra, and Nanonai!

Nanonai attacks Hellhound A. This results in a swift chain of attacks that grants all her foes the release of death.

While the crowd cheers, Solemn heals her teammates for 5 HP, then grants Alina her own heal for 8 HP.

Alina: 62/70 HP
Solemn Ocean: 17/24 HP
Tethra: 34/37 HP
Nanonai: 26/30 HP

The crowd roars, and Alina looks out into the sea of faces. Theoretically, she was trying to look triumphant, but the main expression she could muster was grim determination. It takes a few moments for the handlers to appear and start herding you all back downstairs. "Well, that was unexpected, but it worked out. You all did a good job out there, made for a good show even if some people were a little confused by the end there." The speaker is a third person who seems a touch friendlier, though he's still a slave handler. He's less obviously inhuman than many of the others down here, but his pupils are slitted vertically, and a sharp-looking tail protrudes from his greasy-looking clothing.

(relaxation?)

You're all escorted back to a larger cell, meant to - very slightly - more comfortably accommodate your numbers. Perhaps surprisingly, you're left to your own devices after that; the door isn't even locked. A few junk weapons make it in shortly after you, alongside the scraps of your clothing (which seem smaller than the last time you saw them...)

"We need to win three more fights to reach the champion of the slave arena. After that, we kill our way through three matches in the underground arena, and then two matches in the royal arena. We're on their schedule, not ours, so don't just sit around until you feel up to another match."

Currently, you have one activity available until your next match as a group. You can rest. regaining 50% of your maximum HP, or train, gaining progress toward your next level. There's also a shop where you could get Alina some gear, although you don't have that much money yet. You can also try to keep a place quiet for Alina to meditate, letting her learn a new action.

You can also talk to Alina (which doesn't take up an activity slot) while you do this, of course, though she also doesn't actually seem very friendly. . .

Tethra let out a breath as their enemies finally fell. With a practiced twirl, more a habit from his days when he practiced HEMA for sport, he returned his sword to his sheath. He didn't spare the crowd much of a glance, checking on the others and lingering on Alina's expression. When they were once again in a semblance of privacy, he waited until the others were a bit further away to address their less than willing guide. "How long have you been doing this? I assume this isn't your first fight given your state when we met."

He votes we train.

[GreenKnight]

Solemn takes the bites with as much aplomb as she can muster, even as Nanonai flashes by to finish off the foes. She had done her best to keep people alive, and the relatively minor scratches proved her worth. "At the least, we'll be able to give a flashy finish thanks to our little Reaper."

Solemn follows after the others, taking up rearguard against the slavers as she absorbed the cheers and the sights of... More dank, underground cells. "Looks like we'll need to be careful going forward. Sustained combat is tiring, so we should do what we can to be prepared for it."

Solemn votes for Training.

[Chevaleresse]

"A while. I don't count the weeks." Alina replies, already making her way out of the cell and toward what passed for the street down here.

[kj1225]

Tethra followed after her, a little surprised that they apparently were allowed to just wander around unimpeded. Of course, he didn't see many ways out to begin with so that likely had something to do with it. "Were you looking for someone in the crowd? You didn't exactly look like the image of a triumphant gladiator. Not that I imagine any of us did..."

[Chevaleresse]

"No. There's only one person I care about here." She takes a turn into an archway leading to an elaborate obstacle course, full of spikes, swinging clubs, punching dummies, and reddish-brown stains everywhere. Alina sets about viciously beating a training dummy.

[kj1225]

Tethra simply shrugged. If she wanted to tell him she'd have said so. Instead he went over to a dummy, looked it up and down for a second, and then decided he probably was less likely to break the obstacle course and so went to practice on that.

[Chevaleresse]

Not too long later, a bell dully chimes. Alina abruptly stops what she was doing and makes for her cell, giving Tethra an expectant look as she moves. It's not long after that the slavemaster appears. "Seems your group made an impression. They're feeding you to the Gob Brothers next."

[GreenKnight]

"Not giving us much time to rest at all, are they? Well, I'm still raring to go and I doubt they'll give us a break until we really prove our worth. Eh, not that they paid a damn Gil for us, mind." Solemn says, stretching a bit to relieve the soreness already accumulating in her muscles, and she pulls out her book and hides her fairy before anyone tries to snag the winged critter.

When the slavemaster arrives she says nothing, not wanting to get into an argument and waste time. She had no intention of becoming a Goblin's meal, especially if they're less pleasant than the ones back home. At least, she hoped that the Gob meant Goblins...

[kj1225]

Tethra had quickly stopped what he was doing at the chiming of the bell, and with Alina looking at him like that, he got the message pretty quick as he went along with her to get their next assignment. He simply nodded in response to the slavemaster. Next fight would likely be a step up if their opponents had a rep like the name implied.

[Chevaleresse]

Once more, the group is herded up to the arena circle. The crowd seems larger this time; whether that's a good thing for you or not is unclear. As you shuffle into the center, a trio of green-skinned, pointy-eared humanoids distinctly different from the humans and demi-humans you've seen so far enters the arena. They're kitted out with hodgepodge armor that looks surprisingly well put together despite its scavenged nature, and wicked-looking spears with similarly jagged knives at their belts, alongside a couple bottles of. . . something. Six more of what you assume are goblins enter the arena behind them, dressed in decidedly less well thought out armor stacked on top of them to a frankly absurd degree. The three, presumably the Gob Brothers, grin and heft their weapons as they move to surround you.

Gob Brother C winds up a Dash toward Alina.

Gob Brother B winds up a Dash toward Solemn.

Gob Brother A winds up a Dash toward Nanonai.

All the Armor Maxes prepare to attack! Armor Max A, C, and D begin moving toward the center, but won't move zones until the end of their next turn.
