Huh...

...so, no peg-legged halflings in tanks, then, either, right?

All righty then!

Here goes!

Half-orc male
Name: Bulgarus the Bold
Weapon:Heavy Flail
Armor: Full helm styled to look like a grimacing boar with a shock red boar's hair comb on top, gold-colored plate armor with muscle designed into its appearance, blood red chain beneath, and a red cloak. Round medium-sized shield emblazoned with a heraldric red boar on a black field (Heavy, of course).

Bulgarus grew up a street rat with no future in sight. He was, however, good in a fight. So, when the opportunity presented itself he attacked a local merchant's portage group with the intent to get their attention. He's not very bright, this Bulgarus, and he ended up killing one of the guards. The bold move landed him in a mining pit, not the Gladiatorial Arena as he had hoped.

Sticking with the same failed strategy, he attacked some of the guards in the mine. Again, he killed one of them. He was severely punished and ended up being moved to a salt mine.

Still determined to make it to the Gladiatorial Arena, Bulgarus decided to stick with his winning strategy and attacked yet another set of guards. This time, he lucked out. He accidentally broke the leg of a scaffold platform in the fight and the heavy stores of salt waiting transport off the platform crushed all of the guards.

Confused by his predicament, Bulgarus left the mine and headed straight for the capital. His intent was to plead his case to the Emperor, but when he arrived, he'd found that the old man had died.

Left with no other choice, Bulgarus sought audience with the new Cat Emperor. When denied, he attacked the guards. And... he was finally thrown into the Gladiatorial Arena.

The arena

The C is a covered cage. 8 feet tall and 6 feet wide. It is shaking and growling from within. Ignore the red square at a1.

Ready

KROG donned his armor as the others departed did the arena just in case one of them somehow failed to make it. Not much time had passed when the guards came back carrying one of the four. He could not see who it was but he heard the guards mention they couldn't believe one of gladiators fainted. Perhaps out was the hot sun or perhaps nerves. Either way Krog made sure the guards noticed he was ready to fight.

Nice

If I have four other players ready, I will stay another group. Chance are you'll fight each other eventually.

Had two birthday party this weekend so I will try to get first group going this evening. Otherwise Monday.

Must be feeling better

Guess that gladiator got better quick.

Tann had posted he was backing out of the game but that post is now gone so guess he is back in. Will wait.

nice set up Tann

I hope to post to this and other games today. I had a busy weekend and I also have an eye issue right now that requires drops that are playing with my light sensitivity and focus - walking around like Jack Sparrow a bit.

So we have a group of four starting. Do I have another four - Keeper, Aryn, Chessicfayth and ???. Do I have another taker?

The game is posted in Freeform because it made the most sense there.

Have a snafu at work, this morning, that's keeping me distracted and frying my brain.
