Gladiator IV - The fights begin!

[duke o' york]

I would like to commend you on your bravery in this dire hour Skanky! Your selflessness in throwing caution to the wind and setting off on a dangerous pub crawl to recover the two combatants shows real commitment to the cause. That you returned at a slightly uneven keel, and with lipstick on your clothes, without having found either, is testament to the perils that you had to face.

Avoid the one across the road from the colloseum. Someone, and I won't mention Chaunk's name, had an 'accident' in there. They are still cleaning up the mess and the place stinks.

He should know better than to take his weapons with him when getting ****faced.

/me takes weapons with him

Semi-final 1, round 1

"Ah, there's Skanky now, it looks like he's got the other one."

"Excellent, and now we can see if these guys are any more exciting..."

Later, while the Doctor and Theben are taking a break, the newly discovered competitors are bundled into the ring, Chaunk complaining that he had had important things to be do, but being completely ignored.

"I'd like to thank Skanky Burns for locating our remaining semi-finalists, and perhaps he'd like to introduce them."

"Of course, but I'm sure we all agree that Jamski-San needs no introduction. Despite his distant origins he is a household name for those who attend the Gladitorial contests. Jamski-San has the best record in the contest so far, and also defeated Chaunk on the one occasion that they faced one another, so he's a strong favorite for victory here.

"Chaunk, on the other hand, is a newcomer, and though, as I recently discovered, he can't hold his drink, he can hold his own in a fight, and he certainly shouldn't be ruled out."

The two semi-finalists approach one another in the arena and circle defensively for a while.

Eventually Jamski-San lunges in for an attack, but Chaunk's defense is firm, and Jamski-San comes closer to hurting himself than his opponent.

One of the arena thugs notes Theben trying to leave, but bars his way "Sorry, but the boss says we're not taking any chances after all these problems. No gladiators to leave the arena before their combat is concluded."

Both gladiators took no damage, and remain on 120HP.
Send orders for round 2 quick if you want to catch up

Am I suffering from deja vu, or was that just the same as the first round in the other semi?

[Theben]

I think that 'thug' had better think twice before messing with an armed and armored gladiator...

[DrSpike]

Cowards.

[Theben]

Says the man who hid behind his sword for 6 strikes in a row...

[Spaced Cowboy]

Hmm.... maybe 100 hp was toooo much!

[Chaunk]

Orders for round 2 sent. So far, this looks like a very exciting match!

Do I have to resort to throwing tomatoes to see some red on the battlefield???

Semi-final 1, round 2

After only a brief pause, Jamski-San and Chaunk return to the fray. Again, they circle defensively for a while.

Eventually Jamski-San lunges in for an attack, but Chaunk's defense is firm, and Jamski-San comes closer to hurting himself than his opponent.

The crowd turns to the developing argument between Theben and the thug, which looks like it might turn into a more interesting fight than anything between gladiators, while the Ram returns and asks around to see if anyone has fruit he could throw...

Both gladiators took no damage, and remain on 120HP.
I'm accepting orders for round 3

What can I say... A copy and paste job.
