Have you heard about First Dog? It's a very good comic I just love.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.



Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.

Well, that one is easy at least. The Art of War is all about fighting competent enemies, but it has very little to say on the subject of Yeti maulings.

It's not all on Bad Munki (Coward), the front line went down a bit too easily. The Skeletons are capable of getting very quick starts and steamrolling or stalling out and getting steamrolled.

I know that Tzu isn't the killiest gladiator but it was pretty loving hardcore last time when he picked that fist fight with Abominable. I mean he got his arm bitten off but that's not really his fault. Everybody gets their arm but off by a yeti under certain circumstances.

It's kind of you to say that, Impy, but I strongly feel that the archer needs to connect with that first arrow for the Skeletons to win through.

Basically I'm saying this is all Bad Munki's fault.

Strangler Than Fiction (Tunicate) is a female strangler. She is empty handed and wears an iron helm, leather armor, a copper mail shirt, a platinum mail shirt, bronze gauntlets, and copper low boots.

Chaz Steadyfist (Segway Rave) is a male werewolf. He wields an iron halberd and a wooden shield and wears a silver helm, leather armor, leather leggings, and leather gauntlets.



Worse Munki is a 2.50 to 1 betting favorite in this match with 12800.00 dwarfbucks in total bets placed on them, compared to 5112.00 dwarfbucks for A furry, a farmer, and two cows.


We've got the deadly Chaz bottom right, keep an eye on him folks!


The fighters clash and it's a really bad time to be a minotaur. SRIRACHA bashes Rob Ford in the hand, breaking the wrist and sending bone deep into the forearm. Rob Ford is in severe pain, and drops his huge sword. Chaz swipes his halberd at Min/Max and a minotaur hand flies through the air.


Chaz changes targets and puts Rob Ford down with a broken leg and severed muscles. Rob Ford passes out.


Strangler releases his bite on Dontellims head and Chaz chops deep into the humans arm.
In the tiger battle up top: Experiment 22 stabs Goku in the arm and fractures bone.


Experiment 22 stabs Goku one more time and its lights out for Goku.


SRIRACHA and Experiment 22 begin bashing away at helmets, trying to be the first to get a kill for their team. Experiment 22 wins.

Dontellim, in pain, lances his pike into Strangler's chest and the strangler is having problems breathing with a pierced lung. Strangler returns the favor by biting the human so hard that he bruises a lung.

Min/Max knows he has no chance against Chaz, so he charges and sends the smaller werewolf to the floor stunned.


Dontellim can't keep track of everyone and Experiment 22 takes advantage. A huge sword pierces his mouth and the human passes out.

SRIRACHA finally gets through Rob Fords helmet, crushing the skull beneath.


Chaz gets to his feet and forces Min/Max to dodge backwards. Three weapons come down on Dontellim, but it's Experiment 22's huge sword that does the deed.

Min/Max drops his shield from a numb hand and Chaz yanks on the embedded halberd.

Min/Max_FUR: Death... I am not upset by this. That's a really good attitude to have right now. Like, a really good attitude considering what's next.


Oh hey look what landed.


SRIRACHA shatters the minotaurs elbow and Min/Max passes out. Experiment 22 takes the kill.





Worse Munki made that look easy in what might be the shortest fight of the tournament. I could have GIF'd the entire thing.


Kills:
Experiment 22: 3
SRIRACHA: 1

Chaz Steadyfist's drought continues, he seems content to be a quad ace. Sriracha is just one clean sweep away from matching him, joining the ranks of those who have accounted for a division's worth of gladiators.

On the broader scale, Boatmurdered are leading Gemclod 2-1 this round. The Zoo will face the Horrorshow in the deciding fixture: Will the swamp fortress maintain their lead over the elephant burners?

:siren: Round 14, Fight 5 :siren:

Go big and/or go home (6-7) is on the left side of the arena.
Snowshank Redemption (A good poster) is a male yeti. He wields a copper large dagger and wears an iron mail shirt, copper greaves, and copper gauntlets.
Tyler Durden is Hobbes (habituallyred) is a male tigerman. He is empty handed and wears an iron helm and leather armor.
3 Wolf Moon Shirt (iLonie) is a male werewolf. He wields an iron two-handed sword and wears a leather cap, leather armor, leather leggings, leather gauntlets, and leather high boots.
Slam Whale Willy (potatomanjack) is a male werewolf. He wields a silver mace and a wooden buckler and wears an iron cap, a copper mail shirt, leather leggings, leather gauntlets, and leather high boots.

A Tarantino Film (6-7) is on the right side of the arena.
Uma Thurman (I R SMART LIKE ROCK) is a female human. She wields a steel two-handed sword and wears an iron helm, leather armor, and an iron mail shirt.
Urist McLee (Fuubi) is a male dwarf. He is empty handed and wears a copper helm.
Snarls Barkley (Bene Elim) is a female werewolf. She wields a bronze pike and a wooden shield and wears a bronze helm, leather armor, a bronze mail shirt, bronze gauntlets, and bronze high boots.
Solomon Rabinowitz (Added Space) is a male serpent man. He is empty handed and wears a steel helm, a steel mail shirt, steel gauntlets, and steel high boots.



A Tarantino Film is a 1.25 to 1 betting favorite in this match with 8772.00 dwarfbucks in total bets placed on them, compared to 7003.00 dwarfbucks for Go big and/or go home.



Again we've got size on the left and a smaller team on the right.


The fight starts off with Uma's hanzo steel sword (is it hanzo? Hanjo? Banjo? what is it that nerds talk about all the time?) striking Hobbes in the paw, sending the tigerman to the floor. A second swing sends his entire right arm flying through the air. Hobbes does not pass out, but he's already pale and in pain.


Uma stabs Hobbes again which should by all rights have knocked him unconscious. Hobbes takes the blow, and then Snowshank stabs Uma in the arm which fractures. The yeti presses the advantage with a charge, sending Uma down to the floor. Hobbes uses that second to grab a hold of Uma's throat!

Uma is defenseless for a second, and Snowshank stabs her foot. She falls to the floor where the tigerman places her in a choke hold!

Urist punches Hobbes repeatedly to make him let go, but the tiger ignores the blows. Uma passes out from the choke hold.


Hobbes strangles for a few more seconds and Uma's trachea is crushed. Hobbes gets a kill which is impressive as poo poo considering he only has one arm.

I've said zero about the other 5 gladiators but that's because they aren't doing anything.



Hobbes isn't done yet! He grabs Urist by the teeth and throws him into the air. Slam Whale Willy makes his presence known by smashing Snarls Barkley's shoulder to pieces. A shield drops from a useless arm.


Urist lands and is immediately stabbed by Snowshank which fractures his hand. A second stab fractures his leg and the dwarf passes out just as Hobbes lands a punch to his guts.


3 Wolf Moon has been dueling with Solomon down bottom right but the wolf can't get through Solomons steel armor. Solomon's teeth penetrate leather though, so 3 Wolf Moon is paralyzed.


Solomon the snake thrashes 3 Wolf Moon around and the werewolf will never wake up for this fight. Everything is torn to poo poo and what wasn't torn to poo poo is soon broken to pieces via Solomon.

Hobbes breaks a few of Urist's bones, and finally Slam Whale Willy crushes the dwarven skull.

Snarls Barkley tumbles backwards, mouth chopped open by Snowshanks dagger with the yeti in hot pursuit.


A yeti bite to the face will knock anyone unconscious, and Snarls is no different.

Solomon continues to thrash the enemy around, but not able to kill the werewolf.


Snowshank plants his dagger in Snarls' head.


Solomon manages to dodge pretty well for a second.


And then it turns to poo poo as it's 3v1.

The log at this point is the same length on top vs the bottom. So that means there's a shitload of lines like "doing nothing through the mail shirt" and "deflected by the steel gauntlets" or whatever. The end result is easy to figure out.






Go big and/or go home wins with a 4-0 victory.

Kills:
Slam Whale: 2
Snowshank: 1
Hobbes: 1

No-one is out of contention just yet (Except Lightly Whipped who are mathematically incapable of reaching the playoffs. And incapable in most other ways.), but Go Big and/or Go Home have risen above the fray to claim the playoff place from Laser Explosion. However, their mere +2 kill difference means they are far from home at this stage. (And far from big, too.)
