It may be late, but we've finally got our Thanksgiving celebration! For details, read Clara's battle with Karrk.
Additionally, I think it's time to remind everyone that 14 (Grand Master) is the highest possible level for skills.
With the tournament over, you would expect a drastic reduction in the amount of people attending, but they're still all here, eager to watch the Tersr-Sodel-Pan free-for-all. Certainly, we're going to have some sights here on day 21.
Note that as the tournament's over, we're not fighting on the Bridge anymore.
Can't wear both leather armor and a breastplate, and you can't wear both greaves and leather leggings, so leather stuff dropped.
As Clara limped into the battle after her loss to Sodel, she heard a strange gobbling sound emanating from the Arena. Passing through the gates, she was stunned to see six turkeys hanging around between her and Karrk. Gripping her axe all the tighter, she was determined to slay these turkeys.
Ratel quickly got bitten by turkeys, and had his limbs pecked away by 3 turkeys. Soon, he could take it no more and fell unconscious only to be ignored until Karrk struck him down with a blow to the head, shattering the skull and tearing the brain.
Karrk's Jaguar quickly bit one of the turkeys and shook it around, tearing it to pieces and then eating those pieces one it had bled out. Clara, though, would have none of it, though, and hacked the jaguar apart, quickly taking off the left rear paw and severly damaging the right rear leg. One more shot, this time to the left front, put it on the ground and it was soon bled out all over the ground.
Karrk slapped some turkeys around, and quickly put them out of the battle. When he finally went against Clara, he had flat feet and was quickly struck in the left upper arm, but his armor managed to deflect it, but it couldn't deflect Clara's next shot, which hacked off the left hand and his bronze scimitar. From there, she tried to hack away at the legs, but the copper leggings somehow deflected her blows. Eventually, though, his wounds got the best of him and he too was out of blood.

Killing all of zero turkeys, Flint had trouble taking out the many bird haranguing him with their beaks. It took his supposed enemy the jaguar to kill all 6 of the turkeys. It took just two swings at the jaguar, though, to prove he could still fight, when one punch bruised a lung and one bash in the head to jam the skull thorough the brain.
Tersr gets roped into this one simply because he's not here to say no. Sodel, please consider updating your Net Worth and Urists count as well as your inventory.
All worrying about how they'll handle the turkeys, they were surprised to see no turkeys as they each took up their positions in the arena.
Bragheera quickly scored the first kill of the match when he took out Saturday the honey badger with a scratch to the head, shattering the skull and bruising the brain.
Then, he made the questionably decision of trying to fight a gladiator, charging down Tersr and damaging the left lower leg with a scratch. Taking the crowd for a ride, he but and shook apart Tersr's lower left leg, forcing him onto the ground and preparing to eat him. However, Tersr wasn't going to go down easily, and managed to behead Bragheera from the ground with a shocking decapitating blow to the head.
Jim fought against Friday, and each tried to bite the other, but neither could do any serious damage, but when Pan got involved, Friday had little chance. Quickly charging him to the ground, he then shattered the badger's skull, but didn't tear the brain. giving no mercy, Pan just kept swinging away, shattering more bones than you'd expect would be in the badger, and when he finally fell unconscious, Pan quickly jammed Friday's skull through the brain.
Bob had the bad luck to go up against Roosevelt, and the indomitable spirit of America flowed through the elk's hooves as he repeatedly charged and kicked the poor mandrill, though he could only bruise. He eventually shattered the right rear foot, and soon after jammed the skull thorough the brain.
After taking helping to take out Friday, Jim tried to take out Tersr, a pretty bad idea. He quickly got his tail chopped clean off and soon lost his right rear leg and all his blood. He did manage to bite Tesr in the left upper arm twice, though, which may be important later on.
The last surviving pet, Roosevelt, also tried to end Tersr, but only got a stab to the left lung as recompense. Tersr continued to destroy the beast, though Pan did hlep a bit, chipping the left front leg's bone. He eventually scored another pet kill when he slashed the head clean off and turned the battle into one between dwarfs.
Sodel didn't do a ton, as he was quickly put on the ground by Tersr, who then proceeded to slash him in the left foot and keep him there. Eventually, Pan came around after an interlude where Sodel just lay there watching Tersr tear apart pets. Chipping a bone quickly, Pan also simply bit the prone dwarf in the left lower leg and shook it around. Eventually, she regained her senses and swung away at Sodel, fracturing bones left and right until a shot to the brain jammed it through the skull. Yes, that is exactly what happened.
Pan and Tersr were the only two left, and Pan took the intiative, shattering the right ankle quickly to put Tesr on the ground and shattering bones left and right. Tersr simply could not get a hit in, and Pan soon ended it with a shot to the head, jamming the skull though the brain.
After the third-longest report ever, Pan wins 357 Urists, plus 500 Urists from killing both other Gladiators and the title "The Giant Killer", which is ironic as she's actually leading in Net Worth.
It took just one real shot and a charge to knock the jaguar unconscious, which was a fracturing of the right rear paw, and one more shot to the head, jamming it through the brain. The turkeys, on the other hand, took too many pages for me to recount, suffice to say that Fekod stinks at fighting them and jaguars love eating them.
Just because Administration is nice, you receive 1 Urist. It has nothing to do with the fact that you actually made an error (646-100=546)
Exuding a lack of confidence, Matthias fought an elephant.
The elephant cleared turkeys out of its way, taking only dents to the skin in recompense, but when Matthias walked through his turkeys, he took advantage of the elephant's distraction to tear apart the upper body and the legs, forcing it to the ground and soon after finishing off the rest of the turkeys. Whilst the crowd watched, the human simply hacked away. It was quite a quiet battle as the two did battle, taking 6 pages for it to finally bleed out.

I. Hate. Turkeys. Looking through pages and pages of nothing but fights with turkeys isn't fun. Anyway, on to real commentary.
Pan wins again, likely becoming the favorite to become the first ranked gladiator in no time, but there is hope for Clara and Sodel, who aren't too far behind and both of which have a one arena master lead on her. Matthias also is shaping up for a charge higher in the rankings after his acquisition of a massive elephant.
On the other half, hope is slowly fading, as some of the top players approach having 10 times as much Net Worth as they. Then again, the next tournament, as I've promised, will give them hope.
With a massive battle royal behind us, the gladiators look forward to the next tournament,
rumored to be held on day 24, which rumors also say will favor the lower half.
