I think 18 and 13 damage is perfectly reasonable for one round. It's one of my highest actually

Wuzz. Should have seen the brutal fight between vovan and Ur.

That's brutal

Says something about your personal hygiene, Jamski

This is coming from a caveman ! A quitter caveman too

UR: Brutal, but silly. I prefer the skill of outscoring your opponent with hardly being harmed. A few carefully placed blows show more skill than an all out slugfest, IMHO.

Bring on round 2

Sorry for the delay which might continue for the next few days. I'm putting together a new computer for the home and have been distracted by that a bit. Hopefully all the rest of the parts will arrive today (the tracking info says that they are on the truck for delivery). So I'll probably be out of touch for the next few, but might drop in when I'm doing all the warez installs.

Also, sorry for picking on you so much Skanky, but you were last years champ.

Also D and J, calm down guys, you'll probably be waiting for the winner of the Dr. Princess fight anyway cuz of Doc's current situation.

[Drogue]

Ok. I am calm, I don't mind. I'm just touting egos with Jamski over the fight

Who's the first one that brought the rival to zero but still have over 50 points left for herself?

Welcome again Gladiator fans to the continued coverage of round A of the semifinals between Jamski-San and Lord Drogue of Antonie.

We know go down to the floor to our commentator, Skanky. What is your opinion of the action so far?

Skanky: "Well, if I had a goblet of wine for every defensive blow I had to witness so far, I'd be pretty drunk right now. Luckily, I can hold my liquor..er..I mean if I had to."

Well the contestants look like they are getting ready to go at it again. Both guys rush at each other feeling the pain of their previous encounter. Both men swing their swords at almost the same instant with deft moves.

Jamski's sword lands almost squarely on Drogue's shield and then bounces up and nicks Drogue on the cheek. Drogue's sword finds no shield, as Jamski is not quite able to bring it up in time to block the blow. Drogue's sword and powerful thrust finds Jamski's midsection.

Skanky: "I love the sound of breaking bones in the morning!"

The contestants back away, circle, and then approach each other again. As they get within range, they both thrust out their shields in a blocking motion and offer no form of attack whatsoever. What do you make of that, Skanky?

Skanky: "That's right two goblets, wench...Oh, sorry! He77 I love this kind of competition."

They back away again and circle looking for an opening. Looks like they found it as Jamski and Drogue execute excellent attack forms again. Jamski's sword again bounces off of Drogue's shield and nicks him on the other cheek.

Drogue launches a powerful blow, but Jamski manages to deflect it with his shield at the last instant. The force of the blow left a huge dent in Jamski's shield.

The contestants separate and access the damage. Drogue seems no worse for the wear but Jamski's Tunic is soaked with blood on the left side and a small stream of blood is making its way down his leg into the sand.

(Jamski has 57 points remaining, Drogue has 79 points remaining).

(You may submit your next moves).

OW!

I was trying Drogue's own trick of snipping off small bites.... but he tried my ONE BIG BANG!

SC:

Princess: I look forward to the duel of swords and minds.

[Drogue]

W00t

Will send orders today, when I can figure out what to try next If I can work out what works well, that the Doctor has used to successfully over the last fights, I might stand a chance should I get to the final (and should the Princess not manage the upset that I'd love to see).

I wish you luck for the next round, Jamski-san. May this fight be a close and honourable one

/me bows.
