The arena sands are bloody, the crowd cheering for the surprise upset of GertI don't get recognised by the crowd either!?!? 
But seriously I will ask the gods for strength and then break free!
You call upon the gods (you have no personal one) and struggle and struggle! You manage to clear yourself of the limbs and entanglements you have. (3)
Rindclaw snarls, spit and blood slavering from his teeth. He rears on his hind legs, clawing at Rasilux (6) (RTD: 6). His attack lands, scarring your shield which you use to defend yourself, but one claw slices down your chest.
Unwrap the whip around Dragnar's neck
Kill the tiger
You manage to unwrap the whip from dragnar's neck, he is able to breathe normally again but still bleeding.
Turning in the arena sand, your axes come down at the tiger (3) (RTD: 6), you miss but his dodge places him within striking distance of the next attacker (-1 to dodge).
*Follow through on the Tiger, hacking at it again.*
(Or if it is already dead, skin it)
Take Gurt's greaves. (With so many of us taking two items might be a little too presumptuous RNG)
You get the bronze greaves, and attack Rindclaw, (2) but miss completely.
You do nothing, and try to heal and wake up (2) but you are still in dire straits. You continue to bleed heavily (2+1, 4) and grow very weak from loss of blood.
I hold my trident with one hand, and with a truly barbaric show of strength, heft the tiger above my head and bring it down upon the trident, full force.
You lift the tiger above your head and bring it down towards the trident (1), but impale your forearm on your own trident! Your trident is now stuck in your arm and you have a moderate bleeding wound there.
I throw my shield at the tiger, then charge.
Spinning in the air, your thrown shield flies towards the tiger, floats on the air, and heads right back at YOU! (1). Thankfully, you manage to flatten yourself and it flies past.
What, I don't get any recognition from the crowd for either devising tactics or skewering Gert on my spear?
Place Gert's head atop my spear and lift it high into the air!
Remove Gert's pauldron and equip it.
You brutally tick Gert's head atop your spear, transforming your spear into a skull-adorned bronze spear. The crowd roars with delight at the brutality! (1/3).
You take Gert's pauldron and wear it.
