Don't worry, Bad Munki has ownership of it now, so it has most likely gained a serious dose of gently caress Rogers DNA.

I'm putting it all on Horza! :black101:

Surely nothing in the world can go wrong with taking an unarmed troll, shifting vision and ownership around in the background to make things a little more uncertain, and then putting him up against an armored swordfighter whose weapon from the first round has been significantly more than enough to deal with any armor that Horza has shown so far!

What I'm saying is since Horza has no hope, you should bet against him. The low payout is balanced by his inability to win this one, so it's more like earning interest than 'betting'. Bank a little here; win some points off of me.

As for me? Blaze of glory!

:siren:Round Three, Match One:siren:

Match One, Mrs. Vox (Bad Munki) vs. Lin (Hooplah)

Mrs. Vox, a troll newly under Bad Munki's vaunted tutelage, is armed with a steel great axe and armored with a steel mail shirt. Lin, ant woman, is clad with an iron mail shirt, iron leggings, copper helm, and leather gauntlets. She wields two slender iron spears. Based on materials alone here, it looks like Mrs. Vox has a surprisingly solid advantage. Let's see how well those numbers on paper translate into real combat effectiveness!



The match begins. Lin is somewhat quicker and moves in for the first strike, but Mrs. Vox parries with her great axe and counters, missing the nimble ant woman. The troll charges, knocking Lin onto her back.



Lin parries the next strike, but Mrs. Vox immediately gores her with one of her knobby horns, inflicting a moderate wound. Lin is quickly back on her feet, but Mrs. Vox uses every bit of her size to hound the ant woman, forcing her down and back again and again. Finally, Lin manages to jump back and escape the rampaging troll.



Lin lands a solid uppercut to the troll's mouth, knocking loose one of the beast's massive teeth. However, Mrs. Vox simply sticks with her strategy, charging at Lin until the ant woman is right up against the arena wall. Lin parries and weaves, but one particular body blow leaves her completely stunned and vulnerable. Mrs. Vox brings her steel axe down twice upon the ant woman, easily sundering her iron mail and leaving the insectoid gladiator in pieces. Mrs. Vox advances!

Except that I had a round to muck things up! She had all the chance in the world! I'm genuinely surprised.

Oh wait, I survived the first round of this tourney before falling out...I guess it takes up to TWO rounds for me to screw the pooch. See you next round, folks, when the Hon. Dr. Mrs. The gently caress Rogers Vox S. Preston Esq. Godzilla Buttercup XIV dies a horribly pathetic death!

:siren:Round Three, Match Two:siren:

Match Two, Pinball Wizard (Dallbun) vs. Betty (A good poster)

Pinball Wizard, goblin sharpshooter, wields a steel crossbow and bolts crafted of the same material. He opts not to bother with any entangling armor, preferring to focus entirely on scoring hits. Betty the yeti is armed with a large, silver hammer, iron breast plate, iron gauntlets, and iron high boots. Though her iron armor is unlikely to protect her fully from a steel bolt, it could yet save her life.



The match is underway! Betty takes her first step forward- directly into Pinball Wizard's bolt! The well-aimed shot drives itself through the yeti's iron plate, burrows into her thick layers of flesh, and finally bursts into her ribs, sending shards of bone exploding into the yeti's lung! A truly crippling shot, if ever there was one! The bolt remains lodged deep in the wound, only a few inches of the projectile extending beyond the yeti's profile.



Gasping for air and suffering agonizing pain, Betty stumbles forward, clutching at the nub of bolt protruding from her chest. Pinball Wizard reloads slowly and takes careful aim, knowing that the advantage is firmly in his corner. He fires, but his aim is off just slightly! The bolt zips by Betty's shoulder, missing by a single hand's width.



Pinball Wizard reloads and fires with greater urgency now, and Betty can only hope that his bolt will fly wide again. But the huge yeti is close and difficult to miss, now. The bolt spikes her through the leg, chipping bone and snapping ligaments on its way out. Still, Betty lumbers forward, aggression her only real option.



Mere steps away from the goblin, Betty is finally overcome and collapses. Pinball Wizard pumps her still, defenseless form full of bolts. Betty's armor offers almost no resistance to the superior armaments and their skilled handler, and Betty soon has more than a dozen wounds. The yeti passes in and out of consciousness, unable to fully gather her wits, but still presenting something of a threat due to her size alone. Finally, a bolt to her neck severs a bundle of nerves, leaving the yeti unable to breathe. As her body winds down, she manages to slowly drag herself forward, right to Pinball Wizard's feet, even as he continues to pelt her with missiles. Betty feebly attempts to bite her tormentor, but it is far too late. She suffocates a few moments later, and Pinball Wizard advances!
