Welcome, Welcome! To the arena!
Hello everyone, almost a month ago I began the second tournament through the object testing arena, it was an awesome success. You may find the link to it right here here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=151339.0). Well, I hope we are going to have an even greater tournament this time! Here is all the rule thingies!
Again, congratulations to Princess Klackon-Ktsss-Ktss and her manager Tesseract for their excellent performance in the first arena.
An Introduction
What is this?
A Fight to the death! Dwarf, Human, Elf, and countless other creatures locked in Mortal Kombat!
Arrows Flying! Swords Slashing! Blood and Guts Spread Across the Arena Floor!
To what end?
Countless Riches? No
Honor? Glory? Fame? Perhaps
To be recognized as the strongest, fastest, or cleverest? Most Assuredly
But most importantly, to earn the title:
CHAMPION OF THE ARENA
You'll be the best! Songs will be song about your skills in the ring! Your name will never be forgotten!
At least until the next tournament, of course.
Who came up with this?
It wasn't me, I assure you! In fact, it was our lovely friends at the SomethingAwful forums who deserve the credit.
One Bard, in particular, deserves high praise indeed!
He is the Founder of the Fight, the Mediator of Discord, the Grand Master himself!
Vox Nihili
We are but feint imitators in comparison
What Format Will the Tournaments Take?
There are many possibilities: Single-Elimination, Double Elimination, Round Robin, etc. It could be Team based, or a Free For All!. The format for any particular tournament will be decided by the Arena Master beforehand.
How many people can join a tournament?
It Depends on the format and how much interest there is! However, typical sizes are 16, 32, or 64.
How do I join?
It's easy! Usually you'll just have to post a message declaring your interest, and include your Gladiator's name and race!
I don't know much about Dwarf Fortress. What race is best? What Weapons and Armor should I use?
Only the base essentials are provided in the thread. Since this is competitive, its up to you to figure out whats best. Feel free to ask any questions in the thread or on the forums. A good source of information is the Dwarf fortress wiki found at http://dwarffortresswiki.org/ (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview and Rules
These Rules( including the point system ) were originally developed by the esteemed Vox Nihili at the SomethingAwful forums, and were changed throughout the incarnations.
The Arena Master
The Arena Master runs the tournament. His or Her duties are extensive. They include, but are not limited to, the following: Maintaining and updating these rules, recruitment, running the battles and writing commentary, and settling all disputes that may arise in a just and timely manner. It is essential that the Arena Master remain fair and unbiased. I, Unraveller, shall humbly serve in as the Arena Master for this tournament, and pray that I didn't miss some post that banned these kind of games.
Joining as a Gladiator
Before the start of a tournament the Arena Master will decide on the tournament format, including whether or not a gladiator's skills and equipment will be known to all or kept secret. The first is called a Open Tournament and the latter is called a Blind tournament. The tournament format will also dictate the number of gladiators who may join, or at least a series of upper limits. For example, in a single elimination tournament typical sizes are 16, 32, 64, etc. In order to join, all you must do is announce your intention to join in this thread, along with your Gladiator's name and race. If its an open tournament, you will need to post your skills and equipment purchases in the thread before the start of the first match, while in a blind tournament you must send them directly to the Arena Master.
In the event that too many Gladiators wish to spill their blood, the Arena Master may, at his or her discretion: extend the joining period, deny entry outright to the extra combatants, or call for a battle royal to decide who gets the final spot in the tournament. It's first come first serve*, so sign up as early as possible.
*In future tournaments, gladiators who fought in the preceding tournament will have the right-of-way, and a non-random seeding system may be implemented.
About the Tournament
The subsequent post will lay out the details of the current tournament, including whether or not it will be an open or blind tournament, what system it will follow(Single-Elimination, Round Robin, etc.), whether or not its a team game, etc. If there is something that is not clear, please ask.
The Arena
The fighting will take place in a variety of different stages as seen below. The two contestants will agree on a stage to be selected. If they cannot come to a mutual agreement one will be randomly selected.
Spoiler: Klassic (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Heat Stroke (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Castletop (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Peaceful Meadows (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Water Hazard (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Vertigo (click to show/hide)
The Version
The newest version of DF will be used assuming combat and other relevant game mechanics weren't broken. The same version will be used throughout the tournament. The version being used for the current tournament will be listed in the Tournament overview in the next post.
The Races
The most important decision you'll have to make before the start of the tournament is what race your gladiator will be. Which race you chose will determine what equipment you can use, how much damage you can inflict, grant you special abilities, or even extra limbs.
Your race will also determine how many points you get to spend on equipment and skills before each round. This is mainly for balance reasons, but also to represent smaller creatures cleverness.
The most important distinction between the races, besides the points they receive, is their size. Size effects the amount of damage they will inflict*, and their ability to knock their opponent over. Gladiators that have been knocked over have a nasty tendency to get pulverized(unless they are wearing some nice armor), and is thus a position you'll wish to avoid.
*smaller creatures can generally match their larger counterparts in slashing and stabbing attacks, but bigger opponents are much better at bashing and punching
Some of the more fanciful races have different or extra appendages compared to your average humanoid. This may allow them to wield extra weaponry or armor, but it also may mean they can't use certain items. These differences are listed under the special abilities category.
Races may also have special abilities. For instance, many of the animal-like races can bite in unarmed combat.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Points
Points are the life blood any worthy gladiator. The way you spend them will determine your success in the ring.
As stated in the previous section, the amount of points you get to spend before the tournament depends on your gladiator's race. If you manage to win a match, you will earn the same amount of points to spend on the next round. You do not have to spend any points to heal yourself.
You may spend points on Equipment and Skills, which are summarized below.
Any points left unspent at the end of a round are doubled, for example. Wundle the Crundle has 34 points remaining from the first round. If he reaches the second he would have 68 points in addition to the points he gains from being a Crundle.
Skills
Your gladiator can purchase skills before the start of each round. Skills can be upgraded as many as 14 times, the first level being Novice and the last being Grand Master.
The first level of each skill is assigned a base price, and the price of each subsequent level is equal to the base price of the skill multiplied by the level of the skill you are purchasing. For example, if your gladiator was a Level 2("Adequate") fighter and wished to purchase the 4th level, it would cost 3 * 3 + 3 * 4 f= 9 points. 3 is the base cost and does not change, multiplied by the levels to be purchased. Note that the cost is cumulative: you must buy all the preceding levels!
What each skill does is fairly self explanatory. Please go to the Dwarf Fortress wiki or ask on the forums if you are unfamiliar with any particular skill.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Equipment
As you've probably surmised, your gladiator will be able to purchase an assortment of equipment, made out of various materials, to wield in the arena. Equipment can be divided up into two categories: Weapons and Armor.
Note that you cannot make weapons, shields or bucklers, out of leather.
You may sell back equipment before each round for half its original value. You may NOT sell skills back.
A longsword has a base price of 24; if its made of of steel, which has a "cost multiplier" of 4, the total value will be 96 points.
Materials
Materials have gotten complicated in Dwarf Fortress of late. In terms of combat, though, materials have 3 primary properties: Weight, Edge, and Stopping Power. [I take no credit for this chart, its taken directly from the SA thread]
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Weapons
Weapons and Shields(including bucklers), are held in your gladiator's hands. Depending on the race, it may take one-hand or 2-hands to wield any particular object, or they may not be able to wield it at all. Please look at the Race table for a summary. Unless you are fighting unarmed, you should try to use all your hands in combat. Once again, if you have any questions about the abilities a weapon or piece of armor, please feel free to ask, but check the wiki first.
Bows come with 35 free arrows and Crossbows with 35 free bolts and are the same material as the ranged weapon.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Armour
Generally, you can only wear one of any type of armour. Think in terms of body parts, and test your combination out in dwarf fortress to see if it works. If you (or I) notice a problem after the current round is underway, it can't be fixed until the current round is over. For example, you can't wear both leggings and greaves or low boots and high boots at the same time. There are two exceptions though: you may wear a leather cap under a helm, and you may wear a (non-leather) mail shirt under a breast plate. Gloves, Gauntlets and boots come in sets of two. Also note that shields take up a hand-slot, and aren't worn as such. Shields may also be used as weapons and are dependent on the Misc. object skill.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Rule Changes
From Bay12 2st edition
- In an effort to balance the disparity from tiny creatures and huge creatures their points have been adjusted.
- The dodging skills have been combined into one skill making the size classifications irrelevant.
- The lashing skill has been increased in price, while swords, hammers, and maces have been decreased. Hopefully this will promote more variety in weaponry.
You may also wish to know that times between 12:00 P.M. to 5 P.M. EST are when I stream on twitch (http://www.twitch.tv/unraveller), it will be impossible for me to post during those times, streaming has become a big part of my life but it also takes a lot out of me, forgive me if I am slow to post.

from being born the son of a Kings guards men, not much is know of Koztan besides that he survived the great siege of Garzonza which no one was believed to have survived. He is the last surviving member of the great city,and is still distort about the loss of his city, his family, his life. Koztan now wanders the lands doing as he sees fit, with no remorse, or emotion he kills, scavenges, and survives in these harsh land by any means necessary.

Since the jumping spider man was 270 in last tournament, I'm gessing it's still that.
Just because you were a champion, doesn't mean you can make up the rules! Points have been drastically rebalanced, you will have 260 points.
How many points would a bark scorpion man be?
250 for those tails of poison, luckily nowhere near as deadly as serpent men.
And good job everyone else, lets keep em flowing in hopefully. I shall update the roster soon.

though you need to have a race with the [MOUNT] token on to get this effect vanilla should have a small set of animals to let you do this.
some modding could lead to adding this to every race leading for more creative options for gladiators to fight with.

Urist McAntman, the soldier ant woman
Iron short sword-40 points
3x oak buckler- 67.5 points
Talented Swordantman- 105 points
Adequate Shield- 12 points
Novice Doger- 5 points
Total- 229.5/230 points. 0.5 points remaining.
This soldier ant woman lived in the first cavern layer below a dwarven fortress. One day, a massive force of goblins riding jabberers attacked the fortress. The dwarves killed the goblin, but several dwarves died, causing a tantrum spiral. In the end, nearly every dwarf died from either going insane themself or by being beaten to death by a berserk dwarf. One berserk military dwarf ran down into the caverns and chopped most of the poorly armed antman tribe into pieces before this soldier ant woman managed to chip one of his bones with a shield bash, then stabbed him in the head with a fungiwood spear for three days before she managed to jam his skull through his brain through his artifact candy helmet. She then walked to the surface, got an iron goblin sword to replace the rather worthless spear, and wandered off. Eventually, she arrived here.

I can't read any of your Spoilers in the first Post, so I don't really know the prizes for anything :/
There was a google spreadsheet for the first tournament:

The great dwarven fortress of Uristabod had a problem.
Fath Akrulular, the expedition leader. After serving for years, fighting against elven aggression, she was passed over for nobility in favor of a new arrival.
Bitter with anger, and sufferring from depression she killed the new duchess in a fit of rage. Stealing artifacts from the fortress she fled in the night.
Wroth, she destroyed them outside the fortress, and killed a craftsdwarf who was looting the bodies of the last elven siege. Stealing the wooden weapons she had been retrieving, she fled, to a place where she might finally find recognition.
The Arena.

How many points do you think a snail man would get?
I'd say 260
I've changed my point allocation for Askak the bark scorpion man, if that's OK. Now he hasn't spent any points on anything, which should be interesting... Looking forward to the bloodshed!
Good luck with that strategy.
Is there a point modifier for making a character vampiric?
Unfortunately not, I do not know how well this would affect their abilities in combat, and I'd rather keep this already complex thingy simple.

Points remaining: (2)
One day, after casually destroying another Dwarven mountainhome, Burz-Groll Durk took another look at the big scary machines that killed so many of his friends and family. When they arrived, he heard the Dwarves screaming something that sounded like:" Get to da baulistes!", or something like that. So after playing around with it for a while and impaling one of these annoying cats by accident, he decided to take his new tow with him. And after countless minutes (at least for a Troll) of intense training, the first shouldermounted Ballistatroll was born!
After hearing of the big tournament, where you could smash things to pieces, Burz-Groll Durk didn't think long about it and got on his merry way to blood and carnage.

Some other cool racial make ups would be a centaur(not sure if that's available), a snapping turtleman(aka the ninjas turtle), a cave crockman, or the ferocious mythical undead elaphantman. The snailman was a good choice. Glad to some classic races in there, and these Spidermen sound scary as the circus itself.

Against my test opponents, my gladiator had a win rate of roughly 20%, and the wins were total flukes.
I had another, much more successful gladiator (~80% win rate)... but they were far too similar to the Ant Princess of the last tournament, so I scrapped 'em. (BTW Anybody know the amount of points an octopus-man gets?)

-Proficient Swordsman
-Copper Mail Shirt
I'm just recounting this off of memory, so don't quote me on it. I've got it written down somewhere, just can't find where.

What Kutsmob mean to say is... such a nice font you got there. Shame if anything would happen to it.
That is to say... If you want to proceed in this tournament, you need to go through me first! Well, over his dead body!
Let's just say... her family's shame will be shortlived.

Elimination I Match I
Neezentoz the Dwarf VS. Gorl, the Beheader
Spoiler: Gladiators (click to show/hide)
Welcome, welcome one and all, to the Arena!
After successfully bribing the janitor-ettin into killing three guards to gain access to the commentator's booth, I've returned once more to bring you the finest of gladiatorial bouts! Never mind the other commentator, i hear he's off on holiday. Some place called... What was it, um.. Ship-killed? Oh, never mind. Anyway, let the games begin!
We begin this night of carnage and bloodlust with a classic match on the Water Hazard arena!
Facing off today, we have Neezentoz the Dwarf, four foot of leather-bound fury armed with a silver hammer! Standing at 60,000 Urists of bone, muscle, and alcohol, his honed dwarven musculature can crush even the sturdiest of foes, but will he triumph in this match?
And against him is Gorl, the Beheader! He may be clad in a harlequin's motley of metals, but with an iron axe too big for his opponent to even swing, this neck-thirsty human is a force to be reckoned with. Weighing in at 70,000 Urists, this gladiator makes an imposing figure. Will he add another dwarf head to his collection? Let's find out
Spoiler: Battle Gif (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Battle Log (click to show/hide)
Ahh, first blood in the arena! Nothing like a christening with a dashing of human brain. After an initial flurry of deft parries and dodges, Neezentoz crushes his human opponent's hand with a single blow! Unable to swing his axe to defend himself, the stalwart human quickly crumbles as his skull gets reduced to a pile of bone chips by his foe's silver hammer. A resounding victory for Neezentoz the Dwarf!!!

Oh, i love the smell of roasting gladiator in the morning! We're in Heat Stroke for the second round of this tournament, and the heat is cerainly getting to me. Well, no matter. It's worth the discomfort to see gladiators being turned into so much soup inside their beloved armour. Screams! Burning! Burning screams! We have it all in Heat Stroke!
Our first gladiator is a sly one. Emm the Swift, a tiny little kobold wearing naught but their own hide. Surely such a thing couldn't be threatening, you think? Then we see her pride and glory, a dagger sharper than the finest steel ever forged. How a 20,000 Urist kobold got their hands on the dwarves' Adamantine supplies is a mystery, but knife like that will cut close to anything. Will it be the end of the kobolds elven opponent?
Speaking of whom, our second competitor is a

Woah, uh... I, i may have blacked out for a moment there. The heat from the magma and all, i'm used to rather chillier locales. How embarrassing. Apologies for that. But blackouts aside, this was an impressive match! In the flurry of opening blows neither gladiator missed a blow, with Leg'olam paralysing Emm's right leg with her second strike! Unfortunately for Leg'olam, that didn't stop the diminutive kobold stabbing them in the guts, followed by a stab to the foot so painful that Leg'olam passed out! And after that, all it took were two stabs from Emm's shimmering blade to end the elves gladiatorial prospects. Emm the Swift wins! The janitor eats well tonight.

Elimination I Match III
Arach the Solitaire VS. Taz the Devil
Spoiler: Gladiators (click to show/hide)
Here we are, for this tournament's first round on that fine vintage of a map, Klassic!
On one side of the arena, we have a Jumping Spider Man! Wearing naught but the carapace Armok gave him, and armed with a pair of sturdy iron longswords, Arach the Solitaire enters the arena! With six arms, standing in at a mere 35,000 Urists, this talented arachnid is more than capable with his blades! Will his enormous collection of limbs triumph over his porcine opponent?
The foe in question is brawny in more ways than one, it's none other than Taz the Devil! Clad in leather and armed with a reliable copper warhammer, this imposing Wild Boar Man weighs in at an imposing 75,000 Urists. This betusked boar is an enemy not to be messed with!
Will the arachnid swordsman beat out his hammerwielding boar opponent? Or will Taz swat his foe like a fly with a rolled up newspaper? Let's find out!

A wild frenzy of blows sparks between the two gladiators! Taz gets in the first few blows, putting some nasty bruises in Arach's carapace, but Arach replies with a stab to the foot, knocking over Taz! They trade blows even as Taz lies on the ground, but Arach gets in some sly blows to the limbs of his opponent, and Taz passes out in agony! From there the fight is short-lived, with Arach stabbing Taz twice in the head, his second blow splitting the Devil's skull in two. Arach the Solitaire Wins!

Elimination I Match IV
Korus the Shield-Bearer VS. Mafol Cobaltpatterned the Flickering Savage-fist of Targets
Spoiler: Gladiators (click to show/hide)
Ahh, the tranquil fields of Peaceful Meadows. The tinkling brook. The rustling leaves. The blood-stains deeply ingrained into the soil. There's just something about this place that I love.
Our two gladiators today are Korus the Shieldbearer, an enormous gladiator weighing in at 220,000 Urists. Against him stands Mafol Cobaltpatterned the Flickering Savage-fist of Targets. Other than his mouthful of a name, he weighs in at a stout 60,000 Urists.
Korus is an odd minotaur. Eschewing the huge bladed and blunt weapons of his peers, he's armed only with a shield and his own skills, fighting with his shield as a weapon. And the fact that he's strong enough to pop most people's heads like an egg.
Mafol, on the other hands, is a veteran Marksdwarf. What beasts must he have slain to get such an impressive title? One can only dream. He'll be relying on his skill with the crossbow to put down his foe before they can even touch him, or to beat them sensless with the butt of his bow if they close the distance.
It's time to find out who will win! Let the battle commence!

Spraying bolts like a one-man army, Mafol rains fire upon his foe. But Korus is no fool, and he dodges the first, and simply blocks the second with his copper shield. From there the fight goes poorly for Mafol, being soundly beaten into unconsciousness by his bullish opponent. The instant he collapses, Korus flattens Mafol's skull against the grass of the arena. Korus the Shield-bearer Wins!

Snuggles VS. Bronan the unbreakable
Spoiler: Gladiators (click to show/hide)
Here we are back at Heat Stroke! And this time I've taken off the third layer of warm clothing. Perhaps it's for the better.
On one side of the arena is the adorable, deadly Snuggles! Brightly coloured and parrotlike, this winged humanoid is a real threat in this arena! The power of flight means no accidental dodges into lava for this competitor. But will this 35,030 Urist Lovebird man's crossbow skill be enough to take down his beefy opponent?
Standing opposite the crossbowbird is Bronan the Unbreakable! Buck naked, incredibly sweaty, armed with his enormous horns, and fond of tearing people in half for a giggle, this 220,000 Urist Minotaur Wrestler is a sight to behold. More than his tail is swinging in the breeze today, but will he be able to catch his flighty foe?
Regardless of who loses here today, there's one thing I can guarantee. The smell will be DELICIOUS. Let's get started!

Straight out of the gate, a bolt from Snuggles takes off Bronan's left pinkie finger! Swooping above the lava, Snuggles tries frantically to reload, but a gouging blow from Bronan's huge hands numbs Snuggles' arm, leaving them with no choice but to try and club the Minotaur to death with the bow! The talented gladiators dodge each others blows for quite some time, until Bronan snags Snuggles by the arm, and immediately puts him into a shoulder lock. he wastes no time in nearly tearing Snuggles' left arm off, before going wild with a flurry of gores from his intimidating horns at Snuggles head until a final blow reduces Snuggles's head to mince. Bronan wins, short one finger.

Furry Fury VS. Doc McStabbins
Spoiler: Gladiators (click to show/hide)
Welcome back! We're here at Castletop, one of the rarer arenas. Taking place on a large pyramidal structure, the gladiators had best watch their feet!
Our first contestant is Furry Fury! Given their name by their goblin slave-masters, this ironclad Yeti it totally happy about being here. Really. over the moon. They totally wanted this. The very largest of our gladiators, at 300,000 Urists, this monolithic monster fights with only their bare hands. Seeing as their bare hands probably weigh more than their opponent, this may not prove too much of an issue.
Across from them stands Doc McStabbins! Where this theiving horror got their medical license is anybody's guess, but no-one can contest their kill count, even if most of it is from malpractice. They've got shield, spear, and a mean streak the size of their foe. This 20,000 Urist "Man of medicine" is ready to brawl!
Time to see who shall win and who shall fall! Enter the Gladiators!

Immediately, the gladiators clash furiously. The tiny kobold blocks blow after blow from the enormous yeti. Suddenly, Furry Fury charges, bowling over Doc! He quickly recovers, but two blows in succession shred Doc McStabbins' eyelid, and let Furry Fury grip the Doc's leg. From there the Yeti's wrestling skills come into their own, hefting up the Kobold and charging away with him in tow, before tossing him away. Then he grabs the poor kobold by the nose, punches him in the guts, and hurls him across the arena by his nose. In a horrible display of friction, gravity, and the strength of a Yeti, Doc McStabbins is pulverised across the ramps of the arena, with his chest burst into a mess of pulped flesh. Furry Fury Wins, but probably isn't happy about it.

We're back on Klassic for this match, and boy is it a doozy! A new face in the arena; Rama, the lone survivor of a dwarven incursion into an amphibian-man tribe, is facing off against the famous Mogwai the Devious, the second placed gladiator from the very first tournament!
Rama the Under-Bane is here to fight for justice, unity, and more dead dwarves. With the warhammer she found discarded from the ruins of her tribe, she's determined to win. Weighing in at a slim 20,000 Urists, and clad in oaken plate, there's more to this diminutive amphibian than meets the eye.
and Mogwai, sweet Mogwai. A vicious, nasty piece of work, weighing in at an even smaller 10,000 Urists and armed with bronze daggers, this gnashing little Gremlin is here to go all the way this time. Being beaten by a Kobold just gave him more reason to be angry, and he'll be channeling that devious, devious rage into stabbing tonight!

Try as he might, Mogwai can't land a blow as Rama pulverises his feet, his arm, and his lung, before finishing him off with two mighty blows to the skull.

Askak the bark Scorpion Man VS. Ozok Knifetroll

We're in the lofty heights of Vertigo, for a match that looks to be interesting, with unorthodox tactics on both sides
On one side, we have what clearly looks to be a troll, but is completely convinced that it's a gremlin. It's Ozok Knifetroll! His knife might be smaller than his fingers, but that's not going to stop him going on a stabfest with his foster races traditional weapon.
And against him stands a Bark Scorpion Man by the name of Askak. In what some say is a cunning strategy, and others say is literally suicide, Askak's manager has given his gladiator literally no training or equipment! Will this bold strategy pay out?

Askak opens with a snatching grip on Ozok's arm! Unfortunately he then immediately has his first right upper arm completely removed, and loses his grip.

We're back in Water Hazard, and facing off across the arena is a pair of seasoned fighters. Between them there's three arms apiece, let's see some more details.
Koztan the Wanderer is the son of a guard, and the sole survivor of a great siege. Armed with an iron spear, and clad in stout leather, this PTSD-ridden human weighs in at 70,000 Urists, plus an additional 40,000 urists of emotional baggage.
Facing off from the other side of the arena, and making some unsettling chitinous clicking noises is Urist McAntman. Armed with three tiny oaken guards and an iron sword that they definitely didn't steal from a goblin corpse. I'm still not quite sure how they got here, but here they are!

Fath Akrulular, the Depressed Official VS. Parker Pete
Spoiler: Gladiators (click to show/hide)
Again we've returned to Klassic, for a faceoff between Fath, the Dwarf and Parker Pete, the Brown Recluse Spider Man.
Fath Arkulular, Depressed officiaL, is exactly what she seems. A former expedition leader, when a fledgling newcomer was chosen over them for elevation to nobility, something snapped inside her. She killed, stole, destroyed, and finally fled from her former home, arming herself with equipment from the last elven invasion. She's come here to gain the fame and adoration she feels she deserves, with all 60,000 Urists of weight she can muster.
Across from her is Parker Pete, weighing in at 35,000 Urists. Once a simple giant brown recluse spider, a terrible incident involving a human who'd been drinking from one too many Pitchblende mugs resulted in their transformation into the man-spider you see before you. After some ill-received vigilante work, they've been sent off here, to fight and perhaps to die. How will this arachnid fare in the Arena? We shall see.

Gereth the Avenger VS. Gladiatord of the Wilds
Spoiler: Gladiators (click to show/hide)
This next match takes place in Castletop! Facing off today we have Dwarf and Snail-man, to be locked in combat to the death!
On one side is Gereth the Avenger, weighing in at 35,000 Urists. He's brought something of a grudge to this match, and is ready to shell out some serious vengeance. After his entire tribe save himself was annihilated by dwarves, he's sworn to kill each and every one of them, personally. He's come here to build fame and kill dwarves, and here comes a dwarf.
The dwarf in question is Gladiatord of the Wilds! Not much is known about this dwarfish competitor, other than his fondness for hitting things with an axe, and his boundless ambition to murder his way to the top of the arena! He weighs a solid 60,000 Urists, and has leaves stuck in his beard. What kind of weird blighter doesn't even clean his beard.

Seeing his chance, the Gladiatord immediately slashes through Gereth's neck, sending his head flying and his body tumbling down the slopes of the Arena. The Gladiatord wins!

Kutsmob Dangodna of the Infamous Malice is a goblin, and a nasty piece of work at that. The little blighter has some freakish knife skills, twirling his dagger menacingly whenever he thinks someone's looking, but he's also completely unarmoured! if he's relying on just a bronze dagger to fight his foe, things could go wrong fast!
And against him is something of a competitive dynasty. Lucette Stone, daughter of Lucan, an unfortunately unsuccessful gladiator from the previous tournament. She's come to redeem her name, win glory, and chop people into teeny little pieces. With sword and shield, and leather armour, Lucette is ready to take down her greenskinned foe!

We return again to Heat Stroke, to see some truly monstrous gladiators facing off against one another. We have Swine-Rat the Boar-Woman, against Krurgak the Crab-Man!
Swine-Rat has been a slave all her life, and her last escape attempt earned her a involuntary sentence to the Arena. She's a mighty competitor, weighing in at 75,000 Urists, the second boarfolk in the arena. I'm sure she'll fry up nicely on the hot rocks of the arena. I can already smell the scent of roasting pig trotters coming through her boots.
Facing off against her is the 39,000 Urist, Krurgak "The Clamps" Thoractor! A champion of many smaller aquatic arenas, this bareskinned, unarmed crabman is a master of barepincered brawling, with his terrifying claws pinching many a sensitive organ on his fights. He may be turning a delicious shade of red in the arena heat, but he's still up for a fight!

SMASH!!! >:( is big, intimidating, and very specific about his full name being used. Given that he weighs 250,000 Urists and has a morningstar he can swing hard enough to shatter stone, I don't think I'll choose to disrespect that. Today, we'll see if SMASH!!! >:( is hungry enough to chow down on his fungal opponent.
Dokem the Delicious, on the other hand, is exactly what he sounds like. Delectable mushroom flesh, in the vague shape of a man armed with shield, spear, and an alarming proficiency with both. They're full of spores, anger, and 50,000 Urists worth of wine and roasts just waiting to happen!

I'd suggest defensive skills over armour. Without a high Armour level and some decent armour it's just going to be a waste of points, and anything tough enough to protect you (iron, at least) is just going to slow you down.

Blaze, I double-checked your math and it seems you messed up somewhere. You get an extra 280 points plus the twenty-six from your leftovers, leaving you with 586 points. I tallied everything up and you've spent 620 points.
are you sure. let me get were I was working it.
kobold (female) (280 points)
addy dagger 192 points
knife proficent 75 points
remaining 13 points
emm the swift
emm wandered the worlds looking to fill her emptey life. her manager endlessblaze found her and offered her a chance in the arenas.
how will this story end?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
remaining points dubled. 26 points
race points 280
-ajusting-
7 points for spending.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
round 2 ---emm the swift
knife adept (140)
dodgeing expert (180)
expert observer (108)
addy dagger 192 points (not changed)
I kinda changed the points for spending part as I went along, but if you capre round one and two....

Arach the Solitaire
Jumping Spider Man
Lore:
Arach had a great idea. He was going to make a beautiful web on top of the arena to see the fights. He was good at making webs, but not so good at surfing on them. He fell in the arena and is now desperately trying to find the exit.
He tried to ask a wild-boar man for directions but was responded with a whirlwind of blows. What a confusing encounter !
I had 1 point left, so now I have 260 + 2 = 262 points.
new skills:
shield (proficient : 60)
items:
copper shield x2 (150)
total cost : 210
points left : 52
New character sheet:
Arach the Solitaire
Jumping Spider Man
equipment:
2 x iron long sword : -96
2 x copper shield : -150
skills:
talented observer : -63
skilled swordman: -50
skilled dodger : -50

Total cost : 259 + 210 = 469
points left : 52

Emm the Swift

Round 1: 280 points, 13 remaining
Round 2: 306 points, 306 remaining

Adamantium dagger 192

Knife proficient 75
Remaining 306 points
Underlining just makes it harder to read. Rulodos is correct. You should have 586 points, but you have used 620, so that's 34 points too much. In this round you have 306 points to spend, but you have spent 340.

how many levels do I need to drop her observer?
Post by: Tesseract on August 10, 2015, 08:27:47 pm
I fail at math :-[ ...well...not literally, but im not good at it.
how many levels do I need to drop her observer?
So, you used 65 points to go from proficient (75) to adept (140) knife user
then you spent 180 points to get expert dodging
at this point, you spent a total of 245 points.
You have 35 points left. You could put 30 points to get skilled observer, and you would have 5 points left that would be doubled next round.

Ok then. I guess I will use those 30 on observer

For clarity, you should post your updated level-up with a format like the one that _italics_ proposed:
Hey endlessblaze, it's a lot easier to read if you set it up something like this:
Emm the Swift
Kobold
Round 1: 280 points, 13 remaining
Round 2: 306 points, 306 remaining
[Equipment]
Adamantium dagger 192
[Skills]
Knife proficient 75
Remaining 306 points
Otherwise it will be a nightmare for the arena master to find and update every gladiator.
Post by: endlessblaze on August 11, 2015, 05:46:40 pm
Oh wait, I made a mistake. Since you had 13 points left, you now have a bonus of 26 points, leaving you with 35 + 26 = 61 points. You could spend as much as 45 in observer to be proficient and keeping 2 extra points.

If you need some extra commentary, you can still find the matches in his past broadcast list on his twitch. I believe they were done the 3rd of August in two parts.
Indeed the Nish vs Pelkior battle can be found at around 18:30 of the first broadcast (http://www.twitch.tv/unraveller/v/9550494).
And the Burz vs Reep battle is at 33:00 of the second broadcast (http://www.twitch.tv/unraveller/v/9557562).

Ansgar111, you have 11 points remaining, not 7. You have 4 from the previous round.
-Kutsmob Dangodna of the Infamous Malice-
Race: Goblin, 220 points
Round 1: 220 points, spent 212 points, 8 remaining
Round 2: 236 points, spent 50 points, 186 remaining
[Equipment]
A large bronze dagger: 32 points
[Skills]
Expert knife user: 180 points
Skilled dodger: 50 points
Kutsmob Dangodna (Menace Horrorscrape) declared his loyalty to the new Goblin King by decapitating the old one, but unfortunately this only earned him the "honor" of representing the goblins in the grand tournament.
