GLADIATOR MANAGER

How can you pity them. What you offer is the better option. A painful death is far more merciful than a life of toil... and maybe, they will rise. Maybe, they will become something more. Lead them. Give them that opportunity.

The Manager
In this game managers will assemble teams of gladiators and face off. Team size will depend on the gladiator to manager ratio. During a fight managers will need to assess when it is time to call the fight. Profits will decline if the audience is unsatisfied. New slaves are cheap and easily replaced.
You have to manage your reputation and wealth. Feeding and arming gladiators is costly, and if you bring the goods you will be payed more to show your products.
You may trade wealth and gladiators with other managers as you wish. You do not need to accept a fight that isn't in your favor, it may then be in the interest of the other manager to lend you a gladiator to balance out the fight.

I will enforce any wager I am told about beforehand. Post your guess for the deadpool, its free if you have no wealth.
The old hag joins and shows their progress.
(for emersion, please hide info a person wouldn't be around to hear.)
In here I have Killius sparing with Nerdelium. Both have been fed modestly so they should do better than last time. (And they did good last time)
Nerdelium
+2nd falchion (barrow from Excalia)
+Killius prediction: can whisper from distance.
Killius
+helmet
+Nerdelium prediction: can whisper from distance.
Jagula has taken an interest in Toh, despite not being fed but scraps, Toh lets him approach. They've got a connection... But I don't know what that will translate to on the battlefield. I think it atleast means they can be paired together. But then again a threatened animal is unpredictable.
Toh
+Jagula trust: won't automatically cancel peaceful actions.
Jagula
+beast taiming: less likely to be killed when training hostile beasts.
I've let go of Detoxicus, and as for Excalia, I don't know. The mines maybe. They may both be out of the pits.

some things before you start breaking valuables pointlessly.
An unarmed man cannot harm a lion very easy. It is pretty much not possible.
Two men with weapons would probably be more fitting. What you've got now is a kind of circus. The audience may love it or they may feel insulted. It depends on how you market it.
If you want a reputation as serious managers I recommend you go with my suggestion.
If not it's up to you how you plan to motivate the lion tamer to fight. But as someone seasoned in this area. You're both stacking mistakes and are complete morons. Just thought I should let you know.
Regardless.. Tickets are sold and the fight will begin tomorrow so whatever you knuckle skulls can manage is what we're going to do.

She sees her words have upset Ghazkull.
"I know what you're thinking. This is all supposed to be one big bloodbath, right? Wrong! Wait until they're paying the big bucks for that.
For those unknowns they pay us with peanuts. So we give them some violence, just long enough that maybe someone gets hurt yes maybe someone even dies. But that's never the point. You make a fair fight as you say the best will rise.
Make sure every man has a weapon. I'm sure their slaves for good reason but let's give him that one dignity."
Run forward and rip the maul from Killius's hands, and throw it towards Jagula.
Grip my maul in a defensive position, ready for whatever may emerge from the darkness.
Rush out of the darkness and bite the closest person in the arm, then try to throw them at another gladiator.
dodge any attacks that come my way.
Maul the guy in front of me, bite his legs off even.
Quickly step to the side, pulling the maul with me.
Keep struggling fir the maul, throwing it over towards Jagula once I get it.
Attack killius while he's grappaling for control of the maul.
