It is the line we are willing to push that seperates the true warriors

I shall remember this, it is a glorious achievement, short of an honorable death


/me bows, keeping a steady gaze upon Sopwith Camel

[Theben]

The Doc runs around with that Hackmaster +20 like small children run with scissors. No one is safe.

[DrSpike]

Especially you.

Match 1: Round 1 Results

The tents were filled and the derrick was teaming with spectators.

It was 10:58 am and the festivity's were about to begin. Grumpius Trollium II waited in a state of calm agitation in the 'pit' for his name to be called. The pit was really a suspended platform hanging from the side of the helipad which was normally used to clean the outside of the rig or to make difficult repairs. Grumpius found the whole thing discombobulating and could only hope his opponent felt the same way.

On the other side of the pad, Sopwith Camel was running around in his own pit with his arms up like airplane wings. Apparently he thought he was high over the Atlantic dog fighting with Germans. He seemed to be enjoying himself. The booming voice of the announcer brought him out of his revelry.

"Ladies and Gentleman..." (The only ladies present were the high quality prostitutes imported from Germany)

"...Welcome to the first annual Gladiator Games on the Infernal Platform!" The crowd clucked approvingly.

"No more preamble, let's get to the first fight!" The crowd cheers.

"Stepping into the ring now is the newcomer Grumpius Trollium II, who will be fighting Sopwith Camel!. Let the fight begin!"

                             [b]Grumpius Trollium II vs. Sopwith Camel[/b]

The two gladiators stared at each other.  Grumpius Trollium II attempted to bow 
and Sopwith Camel lashed out at him!
Grumpius side stepped out of the way just in time([b]1:Miss[/b]) and swung his 
Tri-Staff with 1.75 pound Mace Ball extendor at
Sopwith Camel back, but it fell short([b]1:Miss[/b]). 
Camel turned around quickly swinging his dagger and made contact with metal, but it bounced off([b]2:Miss[/b]). 
Grumpius swung his staff at Camel's head but he ducked just in time([b]2:Miss[/b]). Frustrated, Sopwith ran straight at Grumpius.
Grumpius, seeing his opportunity stepped to the side([b]3:Miss[/b]) and round house kicked Camel in the back.!([b]3:Hit!(9)[/b])

Grumpius Trollium II: 100 HP Sopwith Camel: 91 HP

against Theben!"

                                [b]Spacius Maximus vs. Theben[/b]

After they entered the ring, Theben waited for Spacius Maximus to strike, but he stood there and did nothing! 
([b]1:Miss[/b])  
Finally, Theben steps up and swings his sword at Spacius, but it is 
parried easily.([b]1:Miss[/b]) Theben steps back and waited for 
Spacius Maximus to strike, but again he stood there and did 
nothing! ([b]2:Miss[/b]) 
 Theben charged again but the strike 
bounced off Maximus' shield. ([b]2:Miss[/b]) 
When Theben recoiled, Spacius Maximus hit him hard on the head with his sword.

the ground lashed out with his sword at Spacius leg leaving a huge 
gash. ([b]3:Hit!(21)[/b])

Wow! What an ending. Ludd and Felchum are last up!"

                             [b]Ludd vs. Felchum[/b]

Both Gladiators entered the ring at the same time, though one took
considerably more room than the other.  Ludd refused to move.  
([b]1,2:Miss[/b]) Unpreturbed, Felchum made contact with Ludd's 
plate mail twice, but he didn't leave a dent. ([b]1,2:Miss[/b])  
Finally, they charged at each other simultaneously.  This was a 
matchup Felchum could not win.([b]3:Hit!(0)[/b]) He was knocked 
flat on his back.([b]3:Hit!(5)[/b])

Ludd: 100 HP  Felchum: 95 HP

[Grandpa Troll]

I wish to salute Sopwith, a hard,firm and steadfast warrior!


/me is thankful he did not have to harm a great warrior to move forward, but what of his next round?
