The battle against the beasts rages on.
Attack the dog on dragnar's head.
"I'll help you!" Rashilux screams out and rushes for dragnar, swinging your gladius (5) and slash the dog before it manages to bite him.
Throw one of my axes at one of the dogs.
The butcher throws his axe(1), and it spins towards Cato (1/7)! Cato RTD: (1). He turns right into the hurled axe and it imbeds into his chestplate, knocking him onto his back and giving Cato a bleeding axe wound!
Throw the dog on my head at the other dog then attempt to finish them both off.
You try to grab the mangy dog on your head (1) but you end up ripping off your facemask instead! The dog, angered by Rashilux's attack, bites again (4-1 for injury) giving you a bleeding minor wound to the forehead.
Raise my trident up into the air and let out a roar, rallying the crowd.
Afterwards, look for a nearby dog that isn't attacking anyone, and CHARGE!
You give a loud roar to the crowd, and some cheer back. Charging, you stab at a dog with your dog-trident (3) and the dog (3) is knocked on his back! (-1 to attack/defense).
*Bash the dog I've injured with my shield to stun it and lay into it with my axe.*
Lifting your bronze shield high, you smash it back at a dog (5) who's right shoulder snaps and crumples under the blow, and your axe strike finishes him off with an axe through the skull. Dog RTD: (3)
I will kill the dog that attacked me
You swing your gladius at the dog (6) RTD: (2) and blood spurts everywhere as you pierce the heart! However, in your glorious bloodshed, you've managed to get your sword, net, and a dead dog body all tangled up together. (-1 to attack rolls until its untangled).
I kill the dog that tried to bite my face off.
Staunchly ignoring the newly found axe in your chest,you stab your spear up against the dogs body (6) but trip (-1 to attacks requiring much movement) and it manages to avoid the worst of the damage (4-1 bashed on ground) and then goes for your outstretched hand (2-1) impaling itself only further on your spear, slumping off in death.
The remaining dog, looking pitiful and bleeding from a greivous wound, bites with the last of its strength at Dragnar, it's killer (3-1) but only opens its mouth and lets out a pitiful bark and dies from bloodloss.
[/i]Suddenly the Arena goes wild with cheering! You have no idea why, until you start hearing 'GERT, GERT, GERT' and (5) notice a thin man, scarred across the chest and snapping a leather whip and leading a rangy looking-tiger with sharp claws out of slowly opening gates across the arena floor. You notice he's wearing a -bronze pauldron- on one shoulder, bronze greaves and a +bronze gladius+ strapped to his belt.
He shouts at you, cracking the whip above his head "
You feckin' Novicii still alive? And killed some of the dog pack! Hah! At least you haven't pissed yourselves yet!"[/i]
