Actually, it's 72%, but good enough! I've decided to simply let the remaining people post their actions for Day 8 if they get it in soon, and by soon I mean really soon, and post what I have now.
With the tournament close at hand, the crowds are flooding the arena, some even standing inside the arena in a supreme act of stupidity before security throws them out.
Teams for the tournament have been put together, and in a surprising move, both Naka and Karrk have joined in! Both have lost their armor and pets, but they're still not a cakewalk
Teams
1. Clara & Matthias Drechburn
2. Flint & Fekod Nilnekod
3. Pan Silverclaw & Sodel Oshurdastot
4. Naka & Karrk
Can't have alligator leather armor, but as leather of all types is functionally identical, I've simply picked toad out for Clara to use. Please select something else.
Matthias almost ditched the tournament, but remembered in time and rushed in. Fekod & Flint both were caught sleeping in their quarters and had to be woken and ran into the arena, caps akimbo. Clara barely made it after misplacing her nonexistent alligator armor and had to borrow toad leather for the match. No matter all their problems, all 4 humans managed to get into the arena for an epic duel.
Early in the battle, Clara hacked Flint in the right upper arm, tearing a tendon and soon after struck the head, shattering the skull and tearing apart Flint's brain.
Now with two gladiators against him, Fekod rapidly backed into the wall, blocking and parrying the enemies strikes in hopes of getting a lucky shot in. Any shot directed against him seamingly just glanced away because of his copper armor, but he too could not score a killing blow. Eventually, though, Clara managed to hack into Fekod's right lower leg, tearing arteries, nerves and tendons and proceeded to bite him in the right foot in what must have been quite a sight. Then Clara once again struck the leg of Fekod, this time the left leg, and severed both nerves and tendons. Matthias, not to be outdone, managed a sensory nerve severing strike to the upper right leg then chopped at some toes. From there, the axe-weilding duo hacked apart the hapless, lonely dwarf until he could take no more and bled out.
Clara & Matthias advance in what commentators called an inevitable act due to their net worth advantage, and earn 76 Urists to be distributed or split in any way they like.
Scimitars don't actually have a listed value, so I valued them at the same price as short swords. That being said, Karrk's still at the relatively huge net worth value of 260 even without anything but a weapon. Naka is at 65.
Sodel, like Matthias, wandered away from the tournament, but noticed Matthias sprinting through the hallways and followed him. However, everyone was similarly distressed by seeing a tigerman walk into the arena, but the gladiators had tough minds and resisted the urge to run screaming away, though Naka's ice wolf, who wasn't even fighting, left a tough job for the arena janitors to clean up.
The battle started quickly, if a bit stupidly, with Sodel charging Karrk, managing to slash his left hand and scimitar off in one blow before bouncing backwards and looking like a fool. Not deterred, Sodel continued to slash limbs off, taking the other hand off and continuing to mutilate the rather sad looking tiger apart. It wasn't long after that Karrk's head was slashed clean off by a rather aggressive attack from Sodel.
Pan managed to hit Naka early, chipping his foot, but it wasn't until Karrk was dead that any real damage beyond bruising and blockings occurred. Sodel quickly managed to hack into the unsuspecting Naka's upper body from behind, severing an artery, and proceeded to start stabbing away at the now heavily bleeding human. The dwarves ganged up on the now defenseless human, and they ended it with a blow to the head from Pan, jamming the skull through the brain.
Pan & Sodel advance! 67 Urists awarded to the team to be used or distributed in any way desired.

Hm. Should the Short Sword really count towards net worth? Such questions...
Tersr, fighting a magnificently dangerous beast, could hardly have been more scared. The honey badger, the most dangerous of all animals known to dwarf-kind, even surpassing the ancient carp, was just building up the enormous rage as it did in every battle when the dwarf charged it, screaming the names of family members lost to its race's almighty evil. The badger's guilt must have been immense, as it freely let the dwarf strike without taking out its enormous strength and allowed him to stab its left rear leg off. While on the ground, Tersr screamed in agony for all the fortresses felled by the demonic beasts, and stabed it in the lower body, spilling the guts and slashing the right front paw off. The badger, overcome by sorrow over his race's shortcomings, chose not to retaliate, for surely it would have decapitated the dwarf in seconds if it did, and took what it saw a penance for his race. However, it could not take this self-punishment for long, and its spirit left though its wounds.
Tersr slays a grieving badger! And gets one himself!
Jack continued his crusade against all things "J" with another fight against a jaguar. Perhaps it was anger at his dwarf parents for choosing an obviously human name for him, but his fury at such things was incredible. A mere jaguar was no match, and his early stabbing of its tail, opening an artery, proved it. After dodging a blow, he slashed away at the jaguar's left rear paw, severely damaging it, and used his copper gauntlet to parry a jaguar bite. One powerful slash to the right rear leg later, the jaguar was on the ground and the dwarf showed no mercy. After debilitating what legs the jaguar had left, he stabed the jaguar in the head, shattering the skull and tearing apart the brain.

The rankings are in a state of flux as Clara moves back on top and Fekod drops precipitously due to both wins and losses. Even though he's now in second, Tersr still leads Clara by a wide margin in Net Worth, though Sodel would come close if he defeats Naka.
I seem to have taken a bit more literary license (if I even have one) than normal with those last few Battles, so do say if that's not preferable.
