Semi-Finals: Round 3a
The gales were nearing hurricane force as the third round began. The weather reports said Hurricane Adolf would be upon them in full strength in two days. Most of the roustabouts had moved below deck and were monitoring the match on television. A few of the more daring had latched themselves onto the derrick with cables.
Amazingly, the tent was still in tacked and the more reputable guests were well protected.

[b]The Doctor vs. Ludd/snoopy369[/b]
"Ludd" knew he was in trouble, but he had worked out the maths and had come up with a strategy that could not fail - or so he thought. His plan was simple: smash The Doctor's head in before The Doctor killed him. It was brilliant in its simplicity.
The gladiaters entered the arena, with the wind howling above them. Ludd glared at The Doctor and slowly made his way towards him. The Doctor stood his ground, supporting part of his wait with his rapier. Ludd was getting nervous, he had hoped The Doctor would make the first move.([b]1:Miss![/b]) When he was within 10 feet of The Doctor, Ludd decided it was time to act. With arms out stretched, he lumbered towards The Doctor hoping to ensnare him within his arms. But The Doctor was too wily and back flipped out of his grasp at the last second.([b]1:Miss![/b]) Ludd was angrier at his failure; more so since his opponent, who stood before him, seemed totally unfazed. He was also confused, he couldn't understand why The Doctor wasn't attacking him! ([b]2:Miss![/b]) Ludd finally decided that he would have to attack again. Ludd saw that The Doctor was up against the inner edge of the tent, so he shouldn't be able to get away as easily this time. Ludd picked up
a liquor bottle and broke the end off, leaving a jagged edge as sharp as a razor: he wouldn't rely on brute strength this time.
After a few more moments, he attacked: Ludd ran forward jabbing his bottle at The Doctors chest. But suddenly The Doctor emerged from his meditation, dodged Ludd's attack,([b]2:Miss![/b]) and swung his rapier at the back of Ludd's neck. There was a horrible squelching sound, and then two thumps as two large objects hit the ground.([b]3:Hit!(18)[/b]) A pool of blood spread out towards The Doctor's feet. He stepped away gingerly and left the ring. The cheers and applause of the audience could be heard even over the howling wind.
[b]The Doctor: 69 HP Ludd/snoopy369: 0 HP[/b]
Too bad I guessed wrong on which round you'd go in ...
