Gladiator -poly- 2 "The Competition" Part Deux

[Drogue]

Wow A comeback

I'm not sure I can watch either, and Ol' One Eye certainly can't

Working out orders now...

[Skanky Burns]

Wow, some blood finally!
Now only 14 rounds until they land a hit on each other again!

I'm off to get a hotdog. I should be back in time.

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

Ding-ding-ding, we have a winner. Almost 2 hours on the nose. Figured out my schedule have you?

Yay!

Bloodshed! Thanks for remembering your obligations to the spectators who have paid so much to get in. We were promised bread and Circus Maximus, and are finally getting at least one of these things!

Fight! Fight!

[Drogue]

Orders sent. Round 13 next, unlucky for some...

This is nervewracking!

Well, Whenever the orders are there, you always seem to post results about 3pm my time, so I presume that's when you get to work? Either way, it means I know when to get my orders in by, and when to check back to see if there's a result

If only that were true.....

[Spaced Cowboy]

Actually, I've been at work for about 1.5 hours. Takes a while for me to wade through all my emails and get settled in.

[DrSpike]

Sent. Lets get it over with.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Welcome again fight fans to the FINAL (that should get someone's attention) round of the Championship of Apolyton. Skanky what do you make of the action of the last round.

"Mufflgy, guugky juspt kesst hishttingly ouuur mann harrdth, fbfut heis gethtinght backsh ath shimp nolw."

Apparently, no one informed Skanky that you really shouldn't talk with your mouth full of hot dog. Also surprising that he has an appetite at this point.

Swish, whosh, both contestants miss their first swings.

The Doctor goes back to the spinning shield strategy once again as at least he is able to score hits with that strategy. Once he gets his shield up to speed, he moves in on Drogue and fakes a thrust to the head of Drogue and then drives his shield down across the thighs of Drogue opening up another small thin red line.

However, Drogue seems to not care about the Doctor's move and after the Doctor's shield passed by doing its damage, he angled a vicious blow at the Doctor's exposed neck. His weapon struck true and continued in its path through the other side of the Doctor's neck exiting in a blast of crimson.

The Doctor's head slowly pinwheeled through the air releasing its last stream of blood in a circle as it fell to the ground and slowly spun for a second. The Doctor's eyes were still open and a strange smile appeared across his face as his head finally came still.

His body reacted even more strangely as his hands reached up to find his missing head only to be covered by the blood that was pumping out of the opening of his neck like a demonic water fountain. The body seemingly paniced and started to briskly walk a few steps in the opposite direction then stumbled and fell to the ground still pumping blood onto the sand. The show was pretty much over at that point as the body twitched a few times and was still.

At that point you could have heard a pin drop, then the crowd slowly began chanting, "Drogue, Drogue, Drogue," with each one louder than the next until the whole stadium was shaking. Drogue lifted his blood covered sword high in the air which whipped the crowd into even more of a frenzy.

Lord Drogue approached the judge's table and was presented the trophy for the Gladiator Championship of Apolyton.

Good game by all!

BTW Drogue had 13 points left at the end.

[duke o' york]

Drogue, Drogue, Drogue!

[DrSpike]

Good invention SC. When's the next game?

[Snowflake]

Congratulations! You have had a good fight!

And the Doctor has won my heart, with your selfless action of resurrection for the Lord Drogue.

[DrSpike]

Alas now that I am dead the act of resurrection is undone, along with all the good deeds performed with my shield.

[Snowflake]

Evil doctor.
