FG: Gladiator VI - The Unbearable Lightness of Fighting

[Kassiopeia]

Probably, but it can still be either of them, since the semis are always to the death.

Semifinals, Leg 2 Results

Battle 1: Emperor Commodus vs. Spacius Maximus

Spacius seems to be completely off his stride. With the battle now being fought to the death, and his toothpick lost in the sands of the arena, and with Commodus managing to counter his formerly so succesful technique, Spacius finds himself receiving blow after another: 15 points, 13 points, and finally only three points, with no opportunities to hit back. But the beating starts to accumulate, and while Commodus is almost unscathed, Spacius is reeling from the strikes and coughing up blood with only a third of his health left in him. The battle looks very grim for "One Hit Wonder", while Commodus seems to be continuing on a road of triumphs his way to the finals.

Battle 2: Lord Drogue vs. Jack the Knife

After a relatively brutal three segments, the battle devolves into a skirmish of matched mettle; neither gladiator manages to score any damage, but at least the fighting is fierce.

Summary:

Battle 1: Emperor Commodus vs. Spacius Maximus

1. Commodus deals 15 points of damage, Spacius deals none.
2. Commodus deals 13 points of damage, Spacius deals none.
3. Commodus deals 3 points of damage, Spacius deals none.

Commodus: 91 HP
Spacius: 33 HP

Battle 2: Lord Drogue vs. Jack the Knife

1. No damage.
2. No damage.
3. No damage.

Drogue: 54 HP
Jack: 49 HP

I've made an error, my thanks go to Ljube for pointing it out. In the second segment of Leg 2 in the semis, Commodus deals only 3 points of damage to Spacius Maximus, NOT 13 points. The current standings are thus:

Commodus 91
Spacius Maximus 43

My apologies for the error, I must have misread the spreadsheet (it gave the correct numbers now that I redid the battle).

Spacius? Jack? Any orders to come in?

[Spaced Cowboy]

I think I sent already. Kassi has given me the opportunity to change them due to the error, but go ahead and use the ones that i have.

[Kassiopeia]

I have them all. Leg 3 later tonight.

Was falling of the front page.

Oh my, this is getting interesting.

Semifinals, Leg 3 results

Battle 1: Emperor Commodus vs. Spacius Maximus

In the first segment, Commodus continues his rampage by going on an all-out attack and striking poor Spacius for 18 points of damage. The ailing, bleeding, hurting gladiator stands up and takes a deep breath. Summoning all of his inner strength, drawing it from mystical sources unbeknown to even himself, he raises his colossal shield, cries out in rage and charges blindly on. He clobbers the helpless and surprised Commodus' head with the shield, he slaps him around a bit with it, and as a final strike of what can only be described as a "limit break" Spacius blows all the air out of Commodus' lungs by throwing himself and his shield at Commodus' prone body. The audience gives a standing ovation to this glorious performance, which scores a whopping 45 points of damage on Commodus, practically halving his health.

It is now Spacius' turn to continue on his rampage, but his ace in the hole has been used and Commodus is able to defend and block his initial assault. The block causes Spacius to stumble for 3 points of damage; this ritual is repeated in the third round.

Commodus goes to Leg 4 with 46 HP left, while Spacius is reeling with a bare minimum of 19 HP.

Battle 2: Lord Drogue vs. Jack the Knife

In a battle quite unlike the other semifinal, Jack and Drogue opt for all-out defence instead of all-out attack. In the first segment, Jack manages to dodge Drogue's defences while throwing a light punch in, dealing 5 points of damage, equalizing the situation.

Both gladiators have 49 HP left.
