Sorry. Had to deal with some stuff
So here goes:
I I pry open the dead dog-on-a-stick that I have and rip out any organ I can find. I then throw the organ at the tiger.
You bloodthirstly rip open the corpse and pull out its entrails (5)! Quickly fashioning a lariat out of bowel, you throw it at the tiger (RTD: 5 + 1 with mad butcher help) who is caught by the leg! You now have an intestine lariat, attached to a tiger foot.
Get my ax back. Chances are I'm going to need it
Help Maceris
Lupus looks over to to his teammates. "Any ideas?"
You rip your axe out with a mighty tug (4) and, using your butchering skills for good, manage to patch Cato's chest back together, stopping the bleeding. You retrieve Maceris's bowel
I will quickly untangle everything and then pick up my javelin and prepare to fight.
Flintus works furiously at untangling his weapons, and after a frenzy of activity is lying on the floor, tied together in a big mess. (1, -1 to defense, -2 to attacks)
Throw the dog at Gurt, put my mask back on, and CHARGE!
You rip the dog off your face and swing it by the tail like a crude sling! Launching it (3) at Gert(4), he laughs and snaps his whip at the dog, splitting its skull in midair, but you charge forth!
Take dog head off of my arm and put it on my head
[
You remove the dog head off your arm, carefully pulling the teeth out, and plop the bloody thing on your head, though crude it probably will give you some protection.
I follow the first man to charge and protect his back.
Screaming bloody murder, you charge alongside Dragnar. Your attack (3) misses widely (RTD: 5), and Gert draws his gladius, stabbing at you! (4) (Rasihul RTD: 3) He easily stabs past your defenses, and cuts you through your pauldron! You now have a minor wound on the shoulder.
"Rashilix, let's flank and cover."
*Assuming Rashilix comes with me I'll begin flanking Gert and his pet.*
You flank, (2) but now find yourself alone- and have drawn the attention of Rindclaw! The powerful tiger leaps from Gert's side, claws outstretched as the crowd roars for your blood. Seeing the tigers mad charge (2) you use your defensive mind to formulate a plan (RTD: 6+1 for defensive fighter) and sidestep. The tiger smashes into the Arena wall, dizzying it and giving it a big crush on the skull!
Stand up, and turn to face the new threat.
You proudly stand, and your mind takes stock of the situation (5). Calling out a battle plan using your tactical mind, you bellow it out to your friends and you all gain the upper hand! (immunity to critical failures for one turn).
