Tiberius's Story (Arena)

[[sage]]

She says "Think nothing of it. It's all for show for the crowd." (although you can tell she's glad you apologized. I owe you a dinner, but right now, I'm not hungry, so I'll buy you dinner later. I'll give your second my room number so talk to her if you want to find me later.

She walks away. What now?

[Prince Toad]

I'll go try to find someone else to fight.

[[sage]]

You see a man with a scythe and a man in a black cloak walk out of the building.

There is

A tall guy around 19 in a chainshirt. He's wielding a spear and has a second one on his back. His second is a guy about his age.

A short fat bald man, with a very very large hammer. He is wearing a cape with regular clothing. He doesn't seem to have a secondary weapon. His second is a short fat boy.

A tall man well toned man in very plain clothing. He has no weapons. His second is a young girl of around 13. The man is meditating.

Choose one. You can try and talk to one of the people walking out too if you wish.

[Prince Toad]

I'll take the fat guy.

[[sage]]

You notice he breathes very heavily, almost wheezing, as he talks. he's a very fat man for his size, but he wields the hammer like it was a toy.

"Sure, i'll fight." He pauses, breathing heavily. "500gp stakes?"

[Prince Toad]

Deal. Let's go.

[[sage]]

Tiberius: H: 450 |M: 250

I'll move back, Offensive Stance B, and throw the javelin.

[[sage]]

Tiberius moves backwards, distancing himself from Bubba. Bubba walks forward, wheezing. He hefts up his hammer in one hand, and draws his arm back. Tiberius throws his javelin, aiming carefully. Bubba throws his hammer, it whirling in a circle quickly, aimed at Tiberius. The javelin and hammer hit midair, javelin is slammed aside. It moves too fast for Tiberius to begin to attempt to avoid, slamming into his chest, sending him sprawling backwards. Bubba chants a quick spell and the hammer boomerangs back towards Bubba, who catches it single handed. He gives a deep hearty laugh, which soon turns into a hacking cough.

Crowd Favorite: Bubba, Fair applause.
Tiberius: H: 200 |M: 250
Bubba: M: 40

[Prince Toad]

Defensive Stance B. Pila Alba, Pila Alba, Small Elixir.

[[sage]]

Tiberius enters defensive stance B, as bubba starts spinning with his hammer in hands. You cast Pila Alba, which spears into him. He releases his hammer which flies at a wide arc. Bubba chants his spell and the hammer boomerangs towards Tiberius. He manages to avoid it, and it boomerangs back at an angle, and Bubba catches it. Tiberius casts a second Pila alba, which spears into Bubba, then drinks his elixer.

Crowd Favorite: Tiberius, Low applause
Tiberius: H: 500 |M: 250
Bubba: H: 360|M: 30

I'll run over to the javelin, pick it up, and switch it out for the gladius, staying in Defensive Stance B.

[[sage]]

Bubba once again begins to spin around with his hammer in hand as Tiberius rushes for the javelin, approaching somewhat cautiously (Def stance B) He releases the hammer in Tiberius's direction as he dives under it to avoid the hammer and pick up the javelin. Tiberius puts his Javelin away and draws his gladius. Bubba's hammer boomerangs back towards him again.

Bubba grins. "That puny sword will never beat me!" He gives a deep laugh, but it turns into a cough."

Bubba rushes at you, hammer in hand. He's not moving very fast, but his momentum and weight will do a lot to you.

[Prince Toad]

Showman's Stance. I'll do Pila Alba into the air, aiming it so that it hits in two moves. Then I'll wait until he reaches me and sidestep. Now the Pila Alba should hit, and I'll do Feroci Proelo, trying to time it so that the two attacks coincide exactly.
