Rome, late November 192 AD
It’s a warm November day in Colonia Commodiana (formerly known as Rome). The crowd has gathered to witness an unprecedented event: The Grand Tournament of the four most skilled gladiators in the entire Roman Empire. Emperor Commodus, who fancies himself the greatest of all gladiators in the history of Rome, will attend the competition. Bear in mind that this ruthless despot, who prefers being addressed as Hercules Romani thirsts for gladiators’ blood and may at any time execute any of the losers (or the winners if it pleases him). So, fight with courage and tenacity and you may yet live to see another day.
The fighters:
DrSpike, also known as he of the rapier wit. Excellent fighter, two times champion. Lightning fast attack. Strong thrust. A bit weak on defence but his opponents usually don't live long enough to find that out.
Jamski, also known as Jamski-San the Fifth. A balanced fighter who prefers defence to attack. Only when his opponent has exhausted his energy in futile efforts to penetrate the celebrated bamboo armour will Jamski-San counter-attack with deadly accuracy and power using his katana. However don't expect him to follow this routine now when I've spoken about it.
Kassipeia, also known as the Nephew-in-Law of Bob. Like late Bob a maverick who will always try to do the unexpected even at his own expense. Equipped with the swift and deadly Fists of Steel he is going to be a dangerous opponent and one who can score a quick knockout victory in a matter of seconds.
Paramir, also known as Bob's second cousin twice removed. He inherited Bob's famed weapon the Sword of Bob. But he has not shown great skill with the weapon, unlike his late cousin. So he specialised in defensive combat. He attended the school held by Jamski-San IV and acquired a bamboo armour there. You should expect from him tougher and longer fights with lots of manoeuvring, good anticipation and quick blocks.
Stats:
DrSpike: W 20, A 0
Jamski: W 10, A 10
Kassiopeia: W 20, A 0
Paramir: W 0, A 20
Matches:
DrSpike - paramir
Jamski - Kassiopeia
Both matches at 100 HP.
Orders due by this time tomorrow.
