:siren: Round 9, Fight 4 :siren:

The Plump Helmets is on the left side of the arena.
Dory (my dad) is a female minotaur. She wields two copper spears and wears a bronze cap, leather armor, a bronze mail shirt, bronze gauntlets, and bronze high boots.
James LargeSausage (Afriscipio) is a male human. He wields an iron halberd and wears an iron helm, an iron mail shirt, iron leggings, iron gauntlets, and iron low boots.
Josie the Bludgeonatrix (Ramc) is a female elf. She wields a copper mace and a wooden shield and wears leather armor, leather gauntlets, and leather high boots.
Return of Panty Thief (Mr. Vile) is a male yeti. He is empty handed and wears a bronze helm, a bronze breast plate, bronze greaves, bronze gauntlets, and bronze low boots.

Team 13: Heavyweight Horrorshow is on the right side of the arena.
Here comes Mongo! (Endorph) is a male troll. He is empty handed and wears a copper helm, leather armor, a copper mail shirt, an iron mail shirt, copper leggings, copper gauntlets, and copper high boots.
ShortName (ZeeToo) is a male molemarian. He wields a copper spear and wears a bronze helm, a copper breast plate, bronze gauntlets, and bronze high boots.
Face (Godna) is a male troll. He wields a copper two-handed sword and wears an iron breast plate, iron greaves, and silver high boots.
Jakob (frankenfreak) is a male werewolf. He wields a bronze mace and wears a copper helm and leather armor.



The Plump Helmets is a 6.02 to 1 betting favorite in this match with 9034.00 dwarfbucks in total bets placed on them, compared to 1500.00 dwarfbucks for Team 13: Heavyweight Horrorshow.



Dory and ShortName collide, both blocking blows from each other. Mongo is two strides away from the battle and watches as James plants his halberd in ShortName's side, spearing his liver! Josie slams her mace into the molemans stomach, bruising guts as well. ShortName is lucky he can't feel pain. ShortName responds to the abuse by sticking the pointy end of his stick into Dory's leg, sending the minotaur to the floor.

Down south there are grabs, bruises, and armor deflections aplenty.


Dory, floored, somehow makes ShortName dodge away, and then the minotaur takes advantage of the plethora of targets and sends Face to the floor with a stabbed foot. James kicks ShortName in the already-chopped up liver. Face retaliates against Dory by stabbing her liver.


It's really too bad that Dory feels pain unlike the moleman who has this exact same injury. Panty Thief throws ShortName, and the moleman skids to a stop at Mongo's feet.


Josie is brutal. She sends moleman teeth flying across the arena while Jakob and Face try to break Dory's skull open. Jakob finally flattens her skull.



Top: Josie vs Jakob and Face (same tile)
Middle: James vs Mongo
Bottom: Panty Thief vs ShortName


Josie darts forward and fractures the prone Face's skull. James sends one of Mongo's tusks flying into the air. Mongo is sick of Panty Thief grabbing him, so the troll charges the yeti and sends them both to the floor. James sends more of Mongo's teeth into the air and then plants his halberd into the trolls chest. More teeth go flying. Seriously, look at all the freaking teeth.

Jakob the werewolf latches onto Josie's leg, and he shakes the elf violently. Josie won't be able to stand once she frees herself from his mouth.


James puts his halberd into Mongo's head and Mongo passes out from the pain. Panty Thief charges ShortName and both huge fighters tumble to the floor stunned. James removes Mongo's head moments later.



Face moves to help ShortName who was fighting 2 opponents for a moment. Things don't go very well for him. Face takes a halberd to the face, and then James takes off his head.

It's now 3v2, Josie has a non-functioning leg, James and Panty Thief are basically unharmed. Jakob has a few bruises, and ShortName is a chopped up mass of wounds.


ShortName finally gets a blow against Panty Thief, splitting his hand wide open. A second blow moments later splits his foot in half, and the huge yeti passes out from pain. The fight has evened up very quickly! James plants his halberd into Jakobs paw, and the werewolf falls to the floor. And just like that it's uneven again.

Jakob and Josie roll around on the floor, both unable to stand, both unable to cause serious injuries to the other. James stabs ShortName over and over, but armor protects the moleman who is focused on killing Panty Thief. 3, 4, 5 blows to the head... and then James Largesausage charges ShortName!


ShortName stands up quickly and Jakob comes to his teammates aid! By that I mean that Jakob lost an arm to James. But wait, whats this? Jakob willingly lost his arm from the looks of things! He's inside the halberds death-zone and bites James' thigh! He shakes the human around, ignoring blows from Josie that cause bruises to his back. Jakob pulls back to get a better grip and this time decides to bite James' eye! He shakes the human around by the eye and James passes out from pain immediately.

ShortName finally gets through Panty Thief's skull and gets a kill.

This match is now 2v2, with Josie prone in pain and faint from blood loss already. James is unconscious. Jakob is missing an arm, in severe pain, and grounded. ShortName hasn't acquired any new wounds but he's beat to poo poo already.


It took 9 blows for ShortName's spear to end James' life. In the meantime Josie latched on and attempted to shake Jakob with her teeth on his thigh. He ignores this and bites the back of her neck and whips her back and forth in his powerful jaws.


She bleeds out moments later.




Jakob


ShortName

Team 13: Heavyweight Horrorshow wins in a brutal fight. Congtats Team 13! Also, that was a huge betting upset.




Kills:
Jakob: 2
ShortName: 2

James LargeSausage: 2

James Largesausage, though defeated, claims 14 kills, just under half the Helmet total of thirty. The Heavyweight Horrorshow began the match with that many in total, though the victory raises them to eighteen kills.

So how many managers have forgotten this thread exists and aren't bothering to update their fighters? Wondering if those who get knocked out after this phase will get a chance to pick up someone else from the teams that make it through.

If the site tracks activity per round to distribute extra points between rounds, then it could probably produce this kind of metric.

Yes, that sort of thing is one of the things Jazzimus keeps an eye on, behind the scenes. Seriously, he does a lot that's not as visible; fights are so much smoother and easier to run than when tournaments started.

At least one person this last round got an abandoned fighter.

Keep an eye out; it happens, if irregularly.

:siren: Round 9, Fight 2 :siren:

Team Laser Explosion is on the left side of the arena.
Anthony (dasmause) is a male tigerman. He is empty handed and wears an iron helm, an iron mail shirt, iron greaves, iron gauntlets, and iron low boots.
Mogwai (Dark Off) is a female gremlin. She wields a copper large dagger and a silver buckler and wears no armor.
Molegrim (Maugrim) is a male molemarian. He wields a copper spear and wears a bronze helm, copper gauntlets, and bronze high boots.
Turquoise Tonic (Hihohe) is a male human. He wields a silver mace and wears an iron cap, an iron mail shirt, leather leggings, leather gauntlets, and leather low boots.

Two Chicks with Dicks is on the right side of the arena.
Suck & gently caress Pighead (Dirty Frank) is a female goblin. She wields a silver war hammer and wears no armor.
Bo (Haystack) is a male human. He wields a bronze short sword and a wooden shield and wears a leather cap, leather armor, and leather high boots.
Stumpy (Mygna) is a female dwarf. She wields an iron great axe and wears a copper mail shirt.
Richard Kyanka (Lorrdernie) is a male dark gnome. He wields a bronze large dagger and wears no armor.



Two Chicks with Dicks is a 3.04 to 1 betting favorite in this match with 2639.00 dwarfbucks in total bets placed on them, compared to 869.00 dwarfbucks for Team Laser Explosion.



Mogwai leads the charge like an idiot. 3 fighters on Two Chicks with Dicks swing at the small gremlin as they come into range. Suck and gently caress's blow is blocked, but Stumpy mutilates Mogwai's arm at the same time Bo sticks his sword into her liver. Mogwai passes out immediately.


Anthony, Molegrim, and Turquoise push the other team back from getting an immediate kill, but they receive the same treatment as Mogwai. Suck and gently caress brings her hammer down on Anthony's skull, fracturing it and stunning him. Richard Kyanka sends one of Molegrims arms flying through the air. Turquoise has his arm chopped wide open by Stumpy.

Things are not going well for Team Laser Explosion.


Molegrim decides that he can't let the other team win without a fight, and he slams his spear into Suck and gently caress's arm at the same time he dodges Stumpy's charge. Stumpy slams into Suck and gently caress, both fall to the floor stunned. Turquoise Tonic takes advantage of the tangled gladiators on the floor to shatter Stumpy's spine. It's just a spine, no big deal. Bo takes off Mogwai's head.


Anthony and Turquoise Tonic fight back to back against three opponents while Molegrim chases Richard Kyanka down south.

Down bottom: Molegrim can't catch the dodgey little gnome, but Richard Kyanka has no problems hitting the larger gladiator. Molegrims spear falls from his unresponsive hand.

Up top: Suck and gently caress smashes Anthony in the ribs, his lung is bruised and he winces as he tries to breathe. Stumpy slams his axe into Turquoise's arm again, and then glances a blow off of Anthony's helmet. Anthony's bell was rung, and he looks woozy!



Suck and gently caress breaks his arm badly, and Anthony passes out. Bo can't get through armor on Turquoise, but his sword breaks ribs and Turquoise Tonic passes out from pain as well.


Bo takes off Turquoise's head while Richard Kyanka chops Molegrim's arm deeply again.


Suck and gently caress smashes Anthony's head open. As luck would have it (or was this planned?), Richard Kyanka has led Molegrim back to his teammates exactly as they killed the last opponent facing them.


It's 4v1. What do you think happens?

Suck and gently caress breaks his bones, Stumpy spills his guts across the floor, Richard Kyanka stabs his lung.


Bo takes his head.



Two Chicks with Dicks brutally murdered their opponents with ease for a 4-0 victory.


Kills:
Bo: 3
Suck and gently caress Pighead: 1
