Story Time!
The gladiators entered, their newly polished gear gleaming. The audience cheered as each contestant entered. Some booing the dwarves, racists. The last human male (human 4) entered and the audience oh'd and ah'd, some laughter could be heard, the choice of an adamantine long sword was cause for interest, and only a bronze mail shirt for protection. The gladiators were arranged in the arena to be an exact distance from anyone else, no one would have the advantage. The Queen sat higher on her couch to watch the new contestants, whispering in her woman's ear when the last human entered, probably a joke about how swiftly he would be killed.
An announcement echoed across the arena, "This is the first battle. All contestants will be pitted against eachother. There are NO wounds that cannot be healed. Please place your bets at the betting window now, the battle will start in ten ticks of time."
A large population of the audience left to place bets, the first battle was the most exciting. Of the more popular ones was human 3 for his good sword skill, and dwarves 1 and 5 for their choice in wearing full armor. Some interest was garnered in human 4, mostly for laughs.
The time passed and the audience returned to their seats, the Queen was talking to several people on her balcony. Mostly about what they had seen and who they thought would win. The arena settled and the Queen again sat more at attention, her pale hand rose and dropped, the echo boomed, "Fight!" And so the bloodshed began.
Final Kill Mini-stories:
(First Death)Death of Human 1(Gravejoy) by Human 4 (katana):
Human 1 could hardly stand a chance once Human 4 got his adamantine long sword into the fray, after several arteries were opened, Human 1 fell heavily to the ground in a pool of blood, much to the cheering of the audience amid some grumbles for lost bets, swiftly removed from the arena by a skilled elven medical team to be repaired to fight again.
(Second Death)Death of Dwarf 4(Mr. Dwarfinton) by Human 2 (New Guy):
Several wounds had been inflicted by various gladiators already, the end was mercifully brought to Dwarf 4 by Human 2. Stabbed in the head with a steel short sword through his bronze helm. Human 2 pulled his sword from the bloody pile that was Dwarf 4 and ran back into the battle as Dwarf 4 was collected from the arena.
(Third Death)Death of Dwarf 1(Dutchling)by Dwarf 2(Zhaine):
The audience had already seen one dwarf carried out of the arena. Some of the audience had made bets amongst themself on which order the dwarves would go out. Watching with particular interest as Dwarf 2 and Dwarf 1 tussled, Dwarf 1 being caught unaware by Dwarf 2, futile strikes were made at Dwarf 2 but, the upperhand had been gained as Dwarf 2 opened a major artery in the heart of Dwarf 1, causing him to bleed out in a heap on the ground. Carried off for repair, one of the elves groaning with the damage.
(Fourth Death)Death of Dwarf 3(VonCede) by Human 3(stabbymcstabstab):
The vicious sword skill of Human 4 came into full view again as he joined in the attack against Dwarf 3. Human 3 had already left some marks on him and Human 4 assisted, the iron short sword of Human 3 had the last say as the final slash in the left thigh to Dwarf 3 proved to be too much, giving into the pain and crumpling to the floor, blood running from the body towards the center grate.
(Fifth Death)Death of Human 3(stabbymcstabstab) by Human 4 (katana):
After the fight with Dwarf 3 ended in Dwarf 3 being carried out of the arena, Human 4 (who had assisted Human 3 in the dispatching of Dwarf 3) turned on Human 3, already weak and wobbling from the more recent battle. Human 4 hardly did much, fracturing a bone and opening an artery, leaving Human 3 vulnerable and on his knees. The perfect opportunity for Human 4 to lop off Human 3's head with his adamantine long sword. The audience cheered at the decapitation (the first one all day) as the head and body were collected to be pieced together for another battle. The elves really were amazing medics.
(Sixth Death)Death of Dwarf 5(mcdonaldjord) by Dwarf 2(Zhaine):
Dwarf 5 had held his own against Dwarf 2 for quite some time, Dwarf 2 just ended up having the upper hand in the ordeal. Using his spear more like a blunt weapon as he lunged it right into Dwarf 5's head, shattering the skull and tearing through the brain. Dwarf 5 was down instantly from the attack. And elf pulled the spear from the body and threw it toward Dwarf 2 to collect.
(Seventh Death)Death of Dwarf 2(Zhaine) by Human 4(katana):
Dwarf 2 caught the spear thrown by the elf medic to him after Dwarf 2 had killed Dwarf 5, spinning around to see who was left, his head was quickly removed by Human 4. The elves already on the field just gathered those parts with the others and ran off.
(8th/Final Death)Death of Human 2(New Guy) by Human 4(katana):
The adamantine long sword wielded by Human 4 was proving to be a deadly item indeed, already covered in blood and being cheered on heartily. Human 2 had been attacked by multiple gladiators, and had survived longer than all, all but Human 4. The final strike was by Human 4 with that deadly sword. The sword sliced through, the already weak and wounded, Human 2's lower body. Cutting him almost in half. The audience groaned and cheered at the same rate at the carnage as multiple medical teams rushed out to collect the bits. A hard job to patch up but, have no doubt, Human 2 would most likely fight again.

Final Kill Counts:
Human 4: 4 final blows
Dwarf 2: 2 final blows
Human 3: 1 final blow
Human 2: 1 final blow
AG is awarded based on a few factors. How many final blows were dealt, victories, how long it took to die, whether your character participated, etc. There are also a couple of modifiers in place to keep it fair so that characters who really didn't stand a chance get a bit more and characters who did insanely well get a bit less. Even the one who died first and made no kills will be given something. AG is updated on the first page under gladiators. Thanks for playing! If you have enough, you may upgrade skills/weapons/armor.
!!NOTE!!
If you are upgrading weapons/armor I will buy back a previous weapon/armor for 5 AG (no matter the quality). So, please factor this into your upgrades.
