>>36413

The gates rise, putting you across the field - perhaps fifteen meters, as you both close - from the unimpressive Nubian, wearing tribal cloths and holding his copper blade. As you have the higher DEX, you can choose to go first, or allow him to. The crowd roars, expecting a decent show.

>>36423

The Nubian is immediately impaled upon your heavy, unbalanced bronze blade, sputtering blood as the cheers of the crowd die down. Pushing him off, a brutal chop to his neck severs it, and the swarthy man collapses to the dirt, choking to death.

The crowd admires the efficiency of the fight, but is not entertained at it; it hardly lasted a minute! No renown is gained from this fight as you are escorted out of the Arena.

>>36414

Clad in noble leathers and smelling like plebian vomit, Scarleto faces down two terrified slaves with Pugios. You estimate you are roughly twenty meters away. As you have the higher DEX, you may choose to go first, or allow them to.

>>36424

Aquilina scoffed as she looked to the slaves, the smell of yesterday's work still offending her nose, yet she was not tired. Bringing up her sword to aim at the slaves, she uttered words unknown and barbaric to the slaves, yet in the same tongue as the Iberian plebs watching the fight: "After dealing with the wretched scum that should be doomed to the Underworld, I have little patience nor care for either of you. However, I will allow you to have the first strike, for that will be my only act of mercy upon your sodded souls."

>>36426

While the slaves clearly fail to understand Scarleto's words - as little as they can be heard over the din of the crowd - they likely would not have appreciated them anyway. More than that, they're much too far off to actually strike. Still, they do cautiously edge forward, egged on by one another and the enticing - not dangerous - appearance of the woman before them, gaining speed as they approach, raising their daggers.

You estimate they are roughly 10 meters away.

Aquilina too would approach the slaves, taking a few steps forward to close the gap by about four meters. As she moved forward, her hips would sway a bit, with a graces often unseen in the arena, for she prepared to sway herself out from any strikes that the slaves planned to do, in order to prepare for a counter-attack.

>4AP moving 4 meters, 3AP to acitively dodge, +Rank 2 Dodging.

Rolled 21, 4 = 25 (2d100)

>>36428

The crowd, expecting a good show for a 2v1, cheers notably louder as Scarleto sways her hips. The nuances of combat are sometimes lost on plebs, but no proper Roman would miss such a display. Violence and debauchery - the opportunity for both at once is rare!The leather still stings against her skin, but the crowd clearly likes it.

The slaves lunge forward, one, and then the other, attempting to drive their Pugios forward! Their clumsy thrusts and uncoordinated attacks ring of inexperience…

Rolled 2 + 1 (1d2)

>>36429

However, one manages to hit!

>>36430

The 'hit', however, is just a skim. It fails to even puncture Scarleto's armor, glancing off her shoulder and leaving one of the men vulnerable. The close combat incites the crowd!

However, after suffering through unwanted touches the night before, Aquilina would give no quarters to the 'lucky' slave who struck her. With her Falcata raised, she would begin to tear into the slave with slashing strikes, driving her blades down not once, but twice to tear through the slave skin-to-skin, the swiftness in her footsteps kept her on her feet as she struck down the slave.

>>36433

The slave would be still as the first strike of the blade tore through his left shoulder, exiting him out from his right thigh, Scarleto's fury unhalted.

Rolled 1 + 6 (1d2)

>>36434

But she wasn't done yet, for she struck once more, this time from the right shoulder through to his left thigh. If he was wearing armour, such strikes wouldn't be fatal, but without the armour he so craved in his last thoughts, he will face a gory death…

>>36433

Both attacks land!

>>36434

This hit does 8 DMG, [WOUNDING] the slave. Roll second!

>>36436

This attack does another 8 DMG, the first slave crying out in agony as he collapses onto the desert sands from a shove by Scarleto, crippled and crying out in agony. He's bleeding out, unable to fight from his wounds, and will likely die within the hour without medical attention.

The crowd roars with approval. It will be up to them!

Rolled 39 (1d100)

The remaining slave clutches his Pugio close, now terrified and wasting most of the oppurtunity as Scarleto closes. Still, he makes a single attack to try and find a chink in Scarleto's armor, a notably more difficult task considering it is a bodysuit.

Rolled 2 + 1 (1d2)

>>36439

In Scarleto's vulnerable state, he manages to hit!

>>36440

The blow is mostly inconsequential, slashing Scarleto's exposed face with his short dagger. While painful, the wound is neither serious nor ugly, and is only a [Light Wound]. He seems to think better after a moment upon hearing the crowd roar with vibrant approval, and takes two steps back, shakily trying to avoid Scarleto's attacks.

Scarleto grunts as the dagger glanced by her face, battering back the slave's blade. Gliding the finger across the gash caused by the man's blade. Reapproching the slave, she would proceed to offer her own strikes, moving to offer another two slashes of her heirloom, keeping a bit of a distance to him.

>4x2AP to preform two restrained attacks on the remaining slave, 1-3AP to get back close to him to do so, +Swordfighting (Rank 2) +Dodging (Rank 2), +(7STR) Heirloom Iron Falcata [3 AP to swing, 7-8 DMG]

Rolled 1 + 5 (1d2)

>>36443

One strike would carve against the slave's calf, deterring him from fleeing any further.

Rolled 2 + 5 (1d2)

>>36444

As the other would go against his face, in order to take a metaphorical eye for a metaphorical eye.

>>36444

The stumbling slave leaves himself open for a brutal slash against his lower leg, which Scarleto springs up from to carve a gash into his face, the excessive violence provoking loud roars from the crowd. They are enjoying this fight. He is [Heavily Wounded], and can do little other than stumble further back, sputtering and attempting to dodge.

>>36446

As the slave huddled backwards, Scarleto only had to walk to keep up, holstering her Falcata as she stared down at him. Opening her arms, she would taunt the slave in the tounge of Romans: "You have got my attention, now, so strike me again, if you give any damns about your life."

Rolled 100 (1d100)

>>36447

Crippled and bleeding profusely, the domestic slave babbles for a second in something that almost sounds like latin before, grapsing his chest, attempts a single thrust, made even clumsier and slower by his hazy delerium.

>>36448

It is a truly miserable thrust.

>>36449

Such a strike didn't even need Scarleto to flinch, let alone dodge, to have it harmlessly pass by her. Before doing what comes next, Scarleto would look up to the crowd above in the stands, to see what fate they desire for the hopeless slave…

The crowd appears split, and you cannot well decide if they are cheering to spare them or kill them. After a few moments, the cheers for death grow louder, and then it seems the crowd has settled, drowning out their opponents of the day.

Rolled 11 (1d100)

>>36451

>Health: [Healthy]

>APs: 11 (Dex 8)

>Stats: http://pastebin.com/HbxXrkkp

With the call for blood, Scarleto would be happy to provide. Unsheathing the bloodied Falcata, she took a deep breath, raising the blade behind her as the slave watched on, as she soon swinged it forward for a final strike against the nobody.

>1AP to unsheath the sword, 5AP to preform a targeted strike at the slave's head. +Swordfighting (Rank 2) +Dodging (Rank 2), +(7STR) Heirloom Iron Falcata [3 AP to swing, 7-8 DMG]

>>36452

As the slave's life flashed before his eyes, the Falcata would cut through the man's neck, giving him a swift death to free him from the suffering.

>>36452

A good fight! The crowd cheers as both of the rebellious slaves are executed. Once their bodies are limp, guards arrive, escorting you out of the Arena. The crowd liked that fight quite a bit! Your renown is now [Heard of]!

The Macedonians look quite similar to the Greeks of Athens, with the same skin tone and slimmer, soldierly build; they do, however, have less sharp features and darker hair and eyes that distinguish them apart. They are fairly spread apart, and you are right next to the Veteran. You estimate the closest Macedonian is at perhaps twenty meters, and the furthest at forty. The crowd is excited for a group fight, and expect some bizarre mixture of brutality and military skill.

>>36460

The Ex-Legionaire that stands across from you as you stumble onto the desert sands looks strong and physically imposing, but he is clearly unused to combat, and the palor of his face indicates his cowardice. For a man of your abilities, this should be no trouble at all. The crowd boos loudly, indicating that you are both heels. They expect pain.

>>36483

Snarls of a wolf can be heard as you're thrust onto the dirt of the arena, the gate slamming shut behind you. Forty meters away, a wolf circles, foam dripping from its jaws in hunger. Wolves rarely hunt alone, and the screaming of the crowd scares it, but it is starving, and you are in front of it. Any moment now, the beast will begin its charge…

>>36605

The Berber that stares across from you is clad had-to-toe in wrapped cloths of white and sand-yellow, his features and details obscured.The man holds an intimidating-looking curved blade of some fashion in his hand, and though the man appears a dangerous opponent, you recall a snippet of knowledge from your basic inquiries: Berbers like this tend to fight upon mounts, and are unused to engaged combat. Additionally, though his features are obscured, this one seems quite young. You estimate you are about thirty meters away.

>>36807

Name: Tiberius

Gender: A Male

Fluff: Tiberius, or as he was known, Julius Gaius Tiberius, was once a Legionnaire in the Military of the Republic, in particular he was a young Milite in the legion of Marcus Licinius Crassus, having just joined in time for Crasuss's campaign into Parthia. He was at Carrhae, and underneath the shields of his brothers he withstood the endless barrage of the Iranian horse archers, and watched as the General rode off to meet with the Parthians at their camp, never to return. The now leaderless army aimed to return to Rome, despondent at the loss of their general and the spoils that would come from the war, but happy to keep their lives. Yet the Parthians would not allow them to even have that, harrying them throughout their retreat. Julius was part of a group separated from the main army, was eventually captured along with some of his comrades and sold into slavery at the city of Mesopotamia. Here we was noticed by his masters as being good with the blade when one of them attempted to beat Julius, only for him to bring the man's sword to his neck. Figuring he was more trouble than he was worth, he was sold to the local arena to fight and hopefully die there. But it was not to be, with his skills from the Legion, Julius was able to win, and with it he drew the attention of other lanistas looking for fresh meat. He spent several years (during the civil war) traveling around the edges of the Republic fighting in whatever city his current Lanista decided was a good place to make some money. It was on a trip to Cadiz that his cycle of servitude and forced fighting came to a end, and Iberian Hill men raided his Lanista's caravan, slaughtering man. It was on the gladius of a fallen guard that Julius cut the ropes that bound him and sprinted off into the woods, with only the rags that he was clad in to his name. He traveled along the edges of the roads, keeping to the wood line till he reached Cadiz, he was weary and battered, but he was free, but still the Arena beckoned, and with no other skills of note to his name, Julius was forced once again into the arena, but this time he was fighting for himself.

Additionally, he is inherently a shock trooper, and can choose to gain all the AP for his next turn as many times as he desires in battle, going into active dodge and losing his next turn once finished.]

Julius nods to the veteran as he readies himself for the melee.

"They fight as individuals, as lions hunting for glory, we must break them like our legions did at Pydna, for the Roman that fights with his brother is unstoppable, like Wolves of Mars unleashed upon the unworthy. Keep them separated and pull them apart piece by piece brother."

Julius advances 3 meters with his combat partner, reserving some of his strength in case the Macedonians charge. They fight close to one another, hardly enough men to form even the thinnest shield wall, not to mention lacking shields, but a brother aided by a brother is like a city walled. If they do reach within striking distance Julius will strike at them with his Gladius, the Roman Iron feeling quite at home in his experienced hand.

>>36810

>>36811

The Veteran is silent. His thoughts are his own.

The extremely slow advance by the Roman team is met by sporadic spurts of energy from the Macedons, one of the closest taking a near sprint to stand scarcely four meters back, slamming his Grecian blade against wood and leather with a vicious howl. The next closest might be around ten meters, side-by-side with another Macedon, and the last one hangs back five meters more. The lone one in front appears rather vulnerable.

>>36816

As you lunge forward, the Macedonian is faster than you'd expect - surely due to his position at the front and lack of any serious armor. He ducks aside from a brutal impalement, but he doesn't expect you to have the energy for the slash that follows, which lands solidly on his form! Roll damage. Also, you have 2 AP left, which can be used for tactical motions, to survey the Arena, or to enhance your active dodge.

Tympanum sneers at the sight of the Berber boy, and he savagely slams the butt of his spear into the ground as he advances at a steady pace, eight meters in total, and then makes a fancy, flashy display of twirling and whirling his spear, ending it with a flourish that brings the sharp bronze tip forward and ready to catch a potential charge.

>>36843

A powerful slash crosses against the Macedon's chest - he's able to pull back before the blade takes his life, but not before a deep gash is made across his chest. He's left stumbling backward with a gasp, and Julius left panting from exertion in such a short period of time.

"Ante." Growls the Veteran, stepping forward to take your place in the defensive line. With his free hand, he presses against the Macedon and gives him a violent throw backwards - the whole of them are staggered for the turn, and coalesce themselves back slightly, at around five meters out from you and the Veteran. You recover your breath with the Veteran in front of you… [DO NOT POST, STAGGERED]

WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY POSTS

>>36875

>>36816

The Veteran, clearly from the Legions as well, mimics your technique as you recover your breath, and presses forward with a quickness that betrays his age while the frontline Macedonian presses back. With a single, brutal motion, a slash from his Gladius severs half the man's neck from his body, leaving a bloody, gaping mess collapsing on the floor (to the approving roars of the crowd). Before the other three can retaliate, he presses back to the lines, though the Macedonians now appear collected and semi-organized, keeping something like a formation and preparing an advance, perhaps six or seven feet out.

>>36886

This roll is a solid hit - roll damage (minding that aggressive attacks increase min-max damage by 1).

>>36888

The arena is rather barren, by intent. Most Roma arenas are on earth, cermanic, or wood flooring, covered in a thin layer of sand (With the exception of some, such as Rome, which is grand enough to contain a variety of environments and simulations). Little can be seen in the body of your opponent; strong, but with an obvious cowardice to him that can perhaps be exploited. While pondering just that, you do realize that if you could distract his attention, it might be an easy task to intimidate him…

As Typmanum is off-balance from his charge, the Berber is able to push past his spear and slash with a vengeance at Tympanum, in two vicious motions! The crowd cheers wildly.

The two slaves they put you against are unremarkable. Smasher's mind wouldn't know it, staring across from the awed men, but they were likely tribal warriors from Illyricium, based on their decent musculature and firm grasp on the poor-quality rods of blades. The two wear basic Auxiliary armor, meaning they're armored better than the average slave as well, and the crowd roars in fervor. They clearly expect great things. You're about fifteen meters out.

>>36929

The Macedonians accept your challenge, and you find yourself beset from two sides as two of the Macedons attempt to strike a blow, the third moving around to engage the Aged Veteran! One is faster than the other, who can only get in a single strike, but attempting to fend off two attacks at once significantly impairs your ability to dodge and parry!

However, experience and a focused stance allow Tiberius to dodge most of the oncoming blows, only one solidly landing on him. The weak weapon and lackluster strength of the youth does not bode well for putting Tiberius down, however.

>>36944

In a feat of bravery and effort, and to the roar of the crowd, the Macedonian scores a solid slash across an exposed section of Tiberius's stomach! The wound is bloody, but not serious, LIGHTLY WOUNDING him. The crowd absolutely roars with excitement! They greatly enjoy the contenting nature of this battle.

Name: Tympanum

Gender: Male

Stats: STR: 7. DEX: 8. CON: 7. PER: 7. INT: 5. CHA: 6

Combat Skills: SPEAR 2, DODGE 2,

Eccentricities: [Tribal Champion: Tympanum was, at one point a champion among the Averni, and has not forgotten that. You gain the ability of [Gaulish Charge], advancing 3 meters and launching an aggressive attack at 2 AP + half the normal cost of swinging your weapon. Additionally, Tympanum's tattoos swirl and shift as if they are alive. The implications of this are unclear.

Renown: Unheard of (Barbarian - you are seen as a barbarian to the crowd, and as such, acting bloodthirsty, vicious, and merciless will earn you favor, while displaying advanced tactics and intelligence will decrease it.)

Contacts of Note:

Equipment: Cloth Pants [0 armor, no AP cap], Celtic Spear (Bronze)(7STR)[3 AP to use, 2m range, 4-6 DMG]

Tympanum grins eagerly as the strikes whirl through the air, inches from his body. He backpedals two meters (2 AP) before lunging viciously with his spear– once at both legs (6 AP) and one last time at his opponent's chest (3 AP).

Eccentricities: [Urchin - Titus has little formal training or actual understanding of combat, but he does understand the streets very well - and dirty fighting goes along with that. Moves that target the groin, eyes, armor chinks, or other sensitive areas have a +15% to-hit-chance, and Titus can make a 1 AP action once per round to quickly check and see if there are any environmental opportunities or particular tricks he can pull at the moment.]

Renown: Unheard of (Imperial Scum - You aren't quite seen as an utter disgrace, but you are seen as a stain on Rome, who the Patricians try desperately to truly civilize. As such, dirty fighting is more tolerable, though crowds will still react negatively to it, preferring to see a turn of face from you.)

Are you sure you don't want to attempt a disengage check, giving the Berber a free attack of opportunity as you move?

Also you're effectively about one meter away in normal engaged combat, so you'd only need/want to step back one meter to be in range.

That's a three meter push. You have JUST enough AP to move three meters and make two attacks, which you can roll 1d100 for.

>>36951

There's nothing that would be particularly suitable as a weapon here - save, perhaps, your enemies themselves. What you can do is appeal to the crowd, Smasher's dim mind reasons….

AP: 4

Smasher beats his chest, stomps around, and holds an open palm up in the air at the crowd while pointing with his other hand at the two slaves, taunting how his foes have weapons and he does not. A bit beyond his scope of thinking, hopefully the crowd is itching to throw things at the ogre of a man for him to use. Even a simple long stick.

>>36953

The Legionaire is clearly suspicious of your crouching stance, as indicated by his cautious movement. However, after watching you still for a moment - not noticing your clenched fist - he does make a sudden lunge forward, to which you counter by throwing your handful of sand up in his face. The cowardly legionaire is distracted for a turn as he clears the sand from his eyes with a yelp, four meters away.

>>36954

The Berber slashes at you as you disengage!

>>36964

>>36968

The ferocity of your charge causes an imbalance, and you thrust past the Macedon! Regaining your composure for a moment, the second hit lands solidly on the Macedonian menace. Roll damage!

>>36965

The crowd of these desert sands are not much one for carrying weapons with them; that is more of a western tradition, found often in Gaul, Iberia, and the Balkan's arenas. A couple decent-sized rocks are thrown, though none hit either you or your opponents. Additionally, you notice, something is thrown down which glimmers - on the other side of the field.

>>36954

However, a clang parries his slash, and Tympanum is able to take a solid step back, keeping the Berber back at range. In the instant of disorientation from the clash, Tympanum is able to ram his spear through the thigh of the Berber, unimpeded by his simple cloth armor - and, showing no mercy, tears out the point to ram it through the opposite leg as well, embedding it in the flesh! The berber cries in pain, blood pooling from his lower body and the crowd cheering wildly. For all intents and purposes, he is at your mercy, but you still must roll damage.

>>37254

The slash is mostly a graze - blood splatters onto the sand, and the macedon stumbles back, but it fails to seriously penetrate. He slashes back twice in response, and the other Macedon combines this with a vicious thrust - the Veteran Legionaire is out of your line of sight!

>>37256

(roll correctly you faggot)

The Berber is too injured to continue the fight, bleeding profusely. The crowd cheers loudly to spare him, taking a condescending tone that dares you to defy them. Still, the voices ring clearly for mercy…

>>37257

All four strikes land solid, good hits on the coward! Roll damage.

>>37360

The strikes hit hard, and a blade buries itself against Julius - bringing him solidly to [SERIOUSLY WOUNDED] and reducing all his stats by TWO. Sputtering blood, he struggles to keep his standing…

The Veteran slams past Julius, pushing him out of the way as he delivers a single, brutal slash to the injured Macedon's neck, severing the flesh and leaving his head loping at an awkward angle as he collapses. The crowd roars, ringing in Julius's blood-clotted ears!

>>37358

Tympanum sneers, giving the spear an extra, vicious twist for good measure before tearing the bronze head from his fallen foe's thigh. He hoists the bloody weapon into the air and makes a victorious, cheering noise as he takes a "victory lap" 'round the arena.

For the moment, I'm discontinuing this for Reforged - I generally only run one game at a time, and thought this would be easy to run inbetween Reforged update. Turns out running a semi-complex combat system is actually rather time consuming. Go make characters for Reforged. Maybe when that finishes I'll reopen this.
