Sent again.

*Lynch mob attacks and kills both contestants*

[Theben]

Drogue and Dr.Spike are wussies. Throw rocks at them!

[Drogue]

Guys, this is the final. We're both trying to win, and thus are both trying to hit each other without being hit. It's how Gladiator works. Sure, this ones going a lot slower, but it is the final, so the stakes seem somewhat higher. I know it's just a game, I thought about going all out attack for fun, but it's so easy to counter as to be my death sentance. So yes, I am being defensive. I attacked a lot earlier, but don't have the HP to lose now. Also, with him having a very high armour, and me not a high sword, it means we need a high attack to hit, and a high power to do any damage. Which leads to being defensive being a far easier strategy.

Well I hope that the high armour and not very high swords protect you both from the rocks being thrown by the crowd. Ever wonder how the Colosseum got into the state it is in today?

And we're making fun of you. So? If you can't handle a proverbial jab in the ribs, I imagine DrSpike shall have a bit of fun making you squeal like a stuck pig.

[Drogue]

I know you're making fun. I just wanted to explain to everyone why it was taking long. And cosidering we're both over half dead, I think we're both squealing somewhat

/me throws a rock *

Whussieeeeeeeeees!

[Drogue]

/me turns round contemplating whether to massacre the crowd with the point of his sword

[duke o' york]

*Having turned round to the crowd, Drogue receives a rock straight between the eyes, killing him instantly. The crowd roar their appreciation at the unexpectedly sudden end to the boring contest, and proceed to fight over which of them will take the prize home.

[Drogue]

Besides, waiting for Doc's orders and Spaced's commentary.

[DrSpike]

Hehe.

/me doesn't want to win unfairly.

He uses his famed shield to resurrect Drogue, giving him 27 points of health.

Orders sent.

[Drogue]

Just waiting on Spaced now. My guess is between one and a half and two and a half hours.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Welcome again gladiator fans (you know somethings gonna happen with this opening) to the continued fight between Lord Drogue of Antoine and The Doctor. Skanky what do you make of the action in the last few rounds?

....(hiss of dead air)....

Has anyone seen Skanky lately? Damn these live broadcasts. We'll see if we can't round him up.

The contestants approach each other clearly tired from the 7 rounds of stalemate that they have been repeating.

Whoosh, thud, whiff, clang. Oh no, not this again. They start to circle again.

The Doctor starts spinning his shield again. Thank goodness, since Drogue still hasn't managed to find a way to defend against this strategy. Drogue looks prepared for the worst and brings his paltry shield up to block the blow from the Doctor. The Doctor feints to the head of Drogue and at the last second drives his spinning shield across the upper chest of Drogue right under Drogue's outstretched shield opening up a thin red line across the chest of Drogue.

Drogue did not seem to be bothered by the blow, and he brutally cranked his sword around and drove it toward the defensless head of the Doctor who was still busily trying to get his spinning shield back in control. Drogue's sword landed a devastating blow on the Doctor's temple and managed to drag a path through the Doctor's eyesocket and the bridge of the Doctor's nose in an explosion of bone, gristle, blood, and eyeball juice. You could almost hear it pop as they'll soon be calling the Doctor, "Old One-Eye," now.

The contestants step back and offer no other forms of attack.

(The Doctor has 14 points remaining, and Lord Drogue has 20 points remaining).

(You may submit your next moves).

(I'm not sure that I can watch )
