Just getting this one out early, Jack and assorted one-timers can still get their actions in, though I'm starting to doubt that the latter will ever show up again.
The sun has risen on day 10, and the stands are as packed as people in Wyoming. By which I mean, there's only a few die-hard fans in the stands wanting one more day to sate their thirst for combat before fleeing in front of the monstrous hoards. Yeah, just like Wyoming.
Dastot quickly paid off his debt to Sodel and strode into combat with his arch-rival. Swearing profusely, Dastot quickly got a toe ripped off by a vicious bite from the jaguar, and his swearing only escalated when the jaguar rather aggressively bit the dwarf's lower right back tooth off. Dastot kicked the rather bizarre jaguar in the head, bruising the skull, then quickly hacked through the jaguar's left rear leg. Charging quickly afterward, he hacked the left rear leg again and cut to the bone, then proceeded to take apart the left front leg, right rear paw, and his opponent's consciousness. With an enormous screen of gigantic profanity, he shattered the skull and tore the brain.
Clara quickly took the advantage against the badger, charging early and shattering a nail. She hacked again at the honey badger, this time severing its left rear leg and soon after spilling its guts. It was only a few seconds later that the left front paw came off and the badger bled to death.
Limping after the earlier fight with a gorilla and ignoring the call to arms, Fekod fought a jaguar. The jaguar charged first, knocking the dwarf down but not doing much else. The dwarf then got up and, after trading misses, bached the jaguar in the upper body and bruising the middle spine. The two then proceeded to to very little harm in the next few moments, but Fekod eventually got in a decisive blow when he tore the upper spine. It was just one blow later when the jaguar had its skull through the brain.
Although not listed as an "exotic" animal under item value, a closer investigation reveals that it is, so it does get the *2 value multiplier
After a rather short conversation with the guards, Matthias walked into the arena under his new leather armor. In that difficult place where jaguars are like flies but gorillas like, well, gorillas, Matthias opened by tearing the jaguar's limbs apart, disabling two and tearing apart muscle for the rest. It was no hard deed to shatter the jaguar's skull and tear the brain soon after.
Well, a really small thing, but you've 101 Urists, not 102. (149+3+6+6+12-75=101)
Showing her new equipment manifest to a pleasantly surprised Administration and filled with dreams of massive riches and an easy life, Pan stepped into the arena to slay a blasted mandrill. Remembering the tales told in the fortresses about the insidious nature of Mandrills, Pan knew she either had to end the battle quickly or be stripped of everything she owned. Charging early, she bashed the thief in the tail and right front leg, shattering both. Knowing that the mandrill would rob her in a second, she went for the kill, bashing the skull through the brain.
You now have the option of buying a mandrill for 50 Urists.
Still haven't picked what kind of leather decided, so toad leather substituted for this battle. Also, tomorrow will be your challenge fight with Tersr unless it is rescinded.
Realizing that the leopard would attack early by charging, Sodel struck quickly, fracturing the middle spine. The Leopard then did as expected and charged twice, putting Sodel on the ground but doing little damage before giving in to the pain. Sodel took this opportunity and shattered the skull and tore the brain on a slash.
Tomorrow is a challenge fight with Sodel unless rescinded.
Spending a harrying few hours teaching his badgers how to bite effectively, Tersr took his skills against a gorilla. Charging the gorilla while flanked by his badgers, Tersr first slashed through some nerves in its right front foot, then slashed off the right rear foot while his badgers built up a titanic rage. Tersr continued taking on legs when he tore apart the left front leg and spilling its guts. Badger 1 followed that up with a bite to the guts, and there was nothing more for the gorilla. Spending its time trying to get the rabid, biting badgers off of it, he could do nothing against Tersr's constant slashing, slowly bleeding the gorilla out.
Flint slept through the last day, but was up early today and faced of against a jaguar. Quickly bashing it in the upper body, Flint tore the middle spine, causing the jaguar to the ground. From there, though, he struck at the jaguar mainly ineffectively, only managing to fracture the right front paw as a major injury. However, with the jaguar on the ground and its spine broken, it was only a matter of time until Flin jammed the skull through the brain, tearing it.

Another relatively quiet day passed in the arena, but tomorrow seems to be the day to watch, with the top gladiators ramped up to have a colossal duel. Will Tersr regain his first place ranking? Will Sodel claim the title so coveted among the gladiators? Will Nale and Yskreggi ever get off janitor duty? Tune in next time.
The zombies are getting closer, and can even be seen shambling along from the upper decks of the arena. Although scheduled to arrive tomorrow, the zombies look to be walking kind of slowly, and their arrival has been delayed.

Today is actually the day before the tournament, but I didn't notice as the way I listed in the title is a bit deceptive. When it actually says Tournament in 2 days, there's actually just one more normal day until the tournament, not two as would be expected. Therefore, I'll switch that up X days before tournament. For example, when it says 2 days you actually have 2 days to ramp up, and when it says 0 days, the tournament is tomorrow. Feedback is appreciated.
