Exhibition Match 3

Team 1 - Gannon, Dark Gnome (Gannondorf) and Eclipse, Male Elf (Eclipsetail)
Team 2 - Urist mcAxedorf, Gremlin (mipe9) and Queen Sting, Soldier Ant Woman (Kregoth)
Team 3 - Spanner, Kobold (Mekboy) and Hawkeyed Prick, Elf (Yugi24862)
Team 4 - Paralyzer, Snakeman (Wyrms) and The Pointy End, Elf (ArthurWilborn)

I would write these up if I lost, but I guess I'm just too cool for that.  8)

High points:

Paralyzer was shot in the head by Hawkeyed Prick.  Gannon was incapacitated by The Pointy End.

Spanner managed to take an arm off Queen Sting who quickly bled out. He then took a leg off Urist mcAxedorf, causing him to bleed to death.  At the exact same moment, Eclipse cut Spanner in half.  Eclipse then chopped three limbs off Hawkeyed Prick.

The Pointy End finished off Gannon at the same moment, just in time to fire on a charging Eclipse.  Eclipse was struck by several arrows and rendered too incapacitate to land a hit, eventually being randomly shot in the head.

I checked my character afterward; he only had dabbling dodge and average agility so I'm not sure how he jumped away so many times.

Arrows, like most non-slashing weapons, are kind of random.  Sometimes you get hit in the third finger, left hand and break a nail; sometimes you get hit in the head and die.

No, that's a typo. I made a mistake while making the general chart and the bracket.

Your teammate is Mollie. Spanner's partner is supposed to be Mr. Stabs, actually, since he's seeded 22. You'll notice that Mr. Stabs is apparently 19 in the chart; he's not. 19 is Kilakan's yeti, Kilakan.

I figured as much. Well I hope I do better then then what was just posted earlier.

Exhibition Match 4

Team 1 - The Spartan, Human (Mountain-King) and The Troll, Troll (LordSlowpoke)
Team 2 - Kilakan, Yeti, (Kilakan) and SLEDGE!!, Human (Areku)
Team 3 - Vox, Dwarf (Vox Nihili) and  Imacutyourface, Dwarf, (Dwarf mc Dwarf)
Team 4 - Tiny, Minotaur, (Calrogman) and Acanthor, Minotaur, (Acanthus117)

Vox, trusting in his compatriot, sizes up Kilakan as the largest combatant and charges towards him, beard streaming behind him.  Imacutyourface, on the other hand, screams that he's a bronze colossus and runs the other way. Looking for a one on one confrontation with the Yeti, Vox quickly inflicts a nasty wound on SLEDGE!!, causing him to pass out and fall to the floor. Sadly, the mountain man simply proves too large, bowling Vox over.

Teams 1 and 4 pair off into duels.  The Troll is completely inept with his shield but is still massive enough that Acanthor has trouble doing any damage.  In contrast, The Spartan is masterful with his hoplite shield, but is unable to see around it well enough to do more then poke randomly at Tiny with his spear.  Imacutyourface comes up to Acanthor screaming that he will squish him before batting him ineffectively on the head with his shield.  Unimpressed, Acanthor returns the favor with his silver mace, ending the delusional dwarf.

The Troll finally weakens due to few shattered bones and collapses to the floor.  The minotaurs team up and pile on to The Spartan, who simply proves that his guard is impenetrable by holding both of them off.  The random stabs find Tiny's hand and the minotaur backs off, screaming in pain.  After another fullisade of ineffective blows Acanthor pauses to finish off The Troll, looking for another angle of attack. 

In contemplating the invincible shield wall, the Minotaurs fail to notice that Kilakan had finally located Vox's head.  A hammer between Tiny's shoulders from behind cripples one minotaur, and the other is caught between the proverbial irresistible force and immovable object.  The Spartan's spear finds a hand again, depriving Acanthor of his weapon. Braying and snorting, the minotaur lowers his head to charge at the wall of Yeti flesh.  However, he only succeeds in maddening the beast.

After tossing the lifeless bullman aside, Kilakan charges the invincible shield of The Spartan.  For a short time it looks like even this massive force is futile, but an unlucky trip causes the untouched warrior to fall over his teammate and strike his head.  Stunned, he is unable to block any more and his tired body is quickly beaten to paste.

SLEDGE!! wakes up just long enough to see that his teammate has won the day before passing out again.

Winners - Team 2, The Hammer Brothers - the only team with both members to survive.

Number of attacks blocked by The Spartan - 46

Match One

The Smith and Turamuthro versus MadJax and The Grey Fiend!
Managers Duriel, TurkeyXIII, MadJax, and MetalSlimeHunt

"So, Olon, what've we got today?"
"Well, Urist, it's the opening match of the Bay 12 Gladiator Challenge!"
"Fantastic. Why don't you tell our viewers about this first matchup?"
"As you can see, Urist, this is a tag tournament. We're pitting two teams of two gladiators against each other in a non-stop fight to the finish!"
"That's absolutely right, Olon. And we've already had a taste of the bloodshed thanks to those excellent exhibition matches. So let's cut to the chase! On the left, we've got the hulking, the huge, The Smith, and his pike-armed partner, Turamuthro! Give 'em a hand, folks!"
"But don't forget their opponents, Urist. On the right, we have the Swordsgoblin MadJax, and his partner, the Grey Fiend!"
"Werewolves give me the willies, Olon. Let's see if he strikes any fear into the hearts of the Man and the Minotaur!"

The match began, and the two teams closed distances rapidly. The Smith let out a bellow of rage and charged the Grey Fiend, raising his maul high, and launching a thunderous blow, but the attack glanced off his thick werewolf hide. The charge ended with the two of them tangled together, the minotaur dealing another heavy blow to the Grey Fiend's leg, breaking it, and MadJax quickly took the advantage! Coming up from behind, he brought his sword around and lopped The Smith's arm off at the elbow. Turamuthro seized his chance and plunged his pike into the Grey Fiend's side, piercing his heart. In a bid to outdo the human's stabbing prowess, MadJax then buried his sword in The Smith's thigh.

This, as it turned turned out, was a terrible idea. The Smith turned his ire upon MadJax now, bulling him over with a freakish charge, sending him tumbling head over heels. At this point, the match was over. As Turamuthro stabbed the Grey Fiend again and again with his steel pike, The Smith went to work on MadJax, beating him so savagely that he passed out multiple times. The sound of breaking bones filled the air, and the match ended as all proper gladiatorial contests should: with the victors standing triumphant, and the defeated covered in their own blood and vomit.

Winner: The Smith and Turamuthro

"Fantastic, Olon! What a classic matchup!"
"You say that about every matchup, Urist."

MadJax put up a helluva fight.  All his limbs broken in multiple places and most of his organs pierced, and he still got up and took a swing at Turamuthro moments before running out of blood.

Yeah, looking at the log, My dude took an awesome beating that would really make most badasses cry. Shattered bones, left lower leg turned to mush and he STILL took a swing before thinking "Fuck it, life's over-rated. I'll just die and go beat up on Armok or something" :D
