Gladiator V - The Onset

[DrSpike]

For a double KO we should obviously make whoever happens to be in the final the winner.

[Kassiopeia]

Bob's death was if untimely and unfortunate, glorious

How about an extra round with say 50 HP and whoever deals the most damage is the winner?

[Spaced Cowboy]

Two choices:

1. reset both to 50
2. one hit challenge.

[gjramsey]

I like the reset to 50 option.

[DrSpike]

Yeah, refighting with less hitpoints is the best option for double KOs imo.

Gladiator Semis- Round 6: Ram vs Spaced Final

Undaunted, Spacius continued his pursuit of the Ram. The Ram fell back, then assumed a low stance, to present a smaller target. But Spacius was upon him too quickly. With a monstrous swing, Spacius knocked aside the opposing contender’s sword, and followed thru with a nasty cut across his chest, chopping thru bone and tearing a lung. The Ram countered with a deep thrust that pierced Spacius’s thigh.

Spoiler:

In the next moment the Ram felt a sharp pain explode in stomach, under his ribcage and following up thru his neck. Spacius had closed the gap between them and stabbed him from below, and with brute strength lifted his dying foe off the ground and held him high. “HA!” laughed Spacius. “A Ram on a spit! Maybe I’ll roast you and have mutton for dinner!!
“Hmph!!” He tossed both his sword and dead gladiator aside, and then held both fists high to receive the cheers of the onlookers…

Spaced loses another 13 hit points and is now at 34. The Ram takes 48 hp’s and is quite dead.

So no double KO to worry about, thankfully. Time to decide on a hp start for the finals.

[DrSpike]

[nasty accent]Zo, ve meet again. Let us hope the outcome is as it was last time.[/nasty accent]

[Spaced Cowboy]

Yes, it is funny how the noobs decide that there is no strat in this game.

Seems like I do not get the same nervous anticipation as I used to with this one. Can you say seasoned vet?

I'll try to get my orders in against doc as soon as I process the other 3 games that I'm gm'ing.

[Spaced Cowboy]

okay sent. use the second pm.

[Theben]

So any opinion on hps? I'd say 120; even though there's a power difference of -7 I hate going backwards from semis to finals...

[Spaced Cowboy]

120 is fine

[DrSpike]

120 is fine. Please give me until Sunday evening for orders.
