Ooooh you think the website does the editing of the combat log. No, thats the commish's job. Not a bad idea though, but I personally need it edited before posting the results so I can do the writeup. Edit: To be honest doing the combat log properly takes like 30 seconds. I GIF'd it in like round 13. Its the easiest part of the process.

Yeah, the combat log is easy from our side. The only thing that makes it take time or be exciting is these "unsanctioned" fights that Spermy's run where the combatants got really out of hand.

Sorry Spermy Smurf, I should have gone for wrestling instead of striking. Then the fight would have been over a little bit faster. I think I would have lost that fight eventually, but thankfully 3 Wolf Moon Shirt was there to help. Anyway here is my final build: Tyler Durden is Hobbes He has the following equipment. Adamantine Helm Leather Armor Adamantine Mail Shirt Iron Greaves Iron Gauntlets Iron High Boots He has the following skills. Level 9 Fighting (Professional) Level 1 Archery (Novice) Level 6 Wrestling (Talented) Level 14 Striking (Grand Master) Level 4 Biting (Skilled) Level 8 Dodging (Expert) Level 4 Armor (Skilled) Level 2 Kicking (Adequate) I can't believe we won, and that I came in fourth on the betting scoreboard.

Next one I'm going to try a zany build along the lines of 4 hammer Antwoman, 4 spear strangler, 1 long sword/2 shortsword strangler, 4 pick Antwoman, 3 dagger/1 shield strangler, 4 battle axe Antwoman etc. Obviously they won't have all their weapons at the start. Maybe a dual maul yeti...

4 axe antwoman was my initial build. I changed it because of the cost difference. Only like 150 pts between 3 daggers but was enough to stop that build for regular season.

I think we're going to see a lot of dual, triple and quad wielded weapons next tournament. It lets you stack tons of weapon skill with fewer repercussions and works both early and late in the tournament.

He wields an iron two-handed sword and a wooden shield and wears a copper helm, an iron mail shirt, copper leggings, copper gauntlets, and leather high boots. ---//--- DISCLAIMER: I apologise for the tardiness of this fight writeup. I really do. I have had a terrible go of the last few weeks, being sick, having long boring appointments scheduled, and being stuck down by nasty food allergies on a semi regular basis because restraunts can't loving ensure cross contamination doesn't happen in their kitchens, and many manufacturers refuse to label garlic and onion powder explicitely and simply place it down as "herbs", if they even bother to warn at all. Furthermore, they stuff it, and almost anything else in the allium genus, in absolutely loving everything. Oh, and then there is a serious almost constant fatigue thing. I'm trying to complete writeup in an unusual period of wakefulness, and fueling that with caffienated beverages and videos of kittens. ---//--- Welcome to the first fight of the losers bracket. Today we have Spooky Scary Skeletons on the left, with A furry, a farmer, and two cows on the right. Both teams appear to be extremely nervous, what with them standing on a relatively small platform above a large sea of lava. If only they knew what we have in store for them today...  The siren sounds and the battle begins. Bad Munki fires his steel bow, sending an arrow sailing across the arena.  He misses, proving once again that archers suck donkey balls and drag their teams down. The teams meet in the middle and Tash Al'rhyn, the much maligned werewolf, makes the first real attack of the battle, biting off Goku's left ear. The bloodied and half deaf tiger man grabs at Tash's arm while Dontellim Pike slashes at her. The werewolf catches the blow on her buckler before turning and catching Goku's followup blow on it just was easily. She then swings her hammer around in a great circle and slams it into Goku's right thigh, chipping the bone and sending the large tiger man to the floor. Three Gremlins in a Blender, being an opportunistic crwature, leaps in and takes of the tigermans left arm at the elbow with his pick and seems poised to do more before an errant charge from Tash bowls him over. Min/Maxotaur the minotaur tries to follow the stranglers example by attacking Three Gremlins while he is down, but unlike the unfortunate Goku, Three Gremlins is actually capable of parrying his opponents weapon. Before the minotaur can make another attack at the fallen strangler, Candy Corn Tiger puts him on the defensive with a series of blows that the minotaur has no choice but to catch on her shield. Three Gremlins returns to his feet and creeps away from Min/Maxotaur and Candy Corn Tiger, who are now exchanging blocks and parries in order to attack the human Dontellim Pike, burying his pick in the poor humans right hand and tearing apart valuable nerves and muscles. Dontellim tries to retaliate, but the strangler effortlessly blocks his pike. He then tries attacking Tash, but his swing goes wide of the wily werewolf. Unfortunately, this was perhaps the most stupid move he could have made as Three Gremlins buries his pick in the humans right hand, again severing nerves and muscles. For those of you keeping track, this means that Dontellim has no more usable hands, and his pike falls to the ground before his two fluffy adversaries. Goku tries to assist by reaching up and grabbing Tash by the thumb and performing a takedown on the surprised lycanthrope. This merely draws her attention and she bashes the cat in the lower body with her silver hammer, causing massive bruising of the cats internal organs. Bad Munki see's a minotaur charging at him and continues to live up to his name, being utterly useless as he fires a shot at Rob Ford. This shot flies true, but is easily caught on the shield by the charging minotaur. Rob Ford reaches the kobold and strikes at him, but the kobold dances away along the lip of the platform.  Dontellim Pike, utterly disarmed, lashes out at Tash in futility. As a reward, Tash grants him a bruising blow to the leg with her silver hammer. Not to be outdone, Three Gremlins pickaxes him in the arm from behind. The two wounds, combined with his earlier hurts, cause the human to pass out from pain. Candy Corn Tiger see's Bad Munki being pursued by the angry Rob Ford and rushes to his aid, slashing off the minotaurs left arm at the elbow. Unfortunately for the Skeletons that was the creatures shield arm, so it doesn't make him any less deadly. He swings at the tigerman, driving him back before returning to Bad Munki and trying to drive him off the platform. As before the kobold is forced to leap away from the larger creatures blows, and remains trapped on the edge of the platform. Off to the east of the platform in the other half of the fight, Tash has placed Goku in a coma, and incidentally turned the tigermans skeleton into an interesting mix of bloody paste and razor edged shards. Min/Maxotaur tries to come to the aid of her two wounded comrades but she is held off by a masterful display of combat prowess from Three Gremlins, using his pick to great effect. Back to the west Rob Ford slaps Candy Corn Tiger in the left forearm with the flat of his two handed sword, trying to drive back the furious cat so he can finish off Bad Munki. When Candy Corn Tiger retaliates he leaps away from the cats swing towards the kobold and launches yet another attack. Bad Munki manages to duck out of the way of the blow, but runs out of ground and tumbles off the side of the platform. As he splashes into the lava, the sound of chittering can barely be made out above the agonised shreiks of Bad Munki On the other side of the platform, Tash advances on Min/Maxotaur when a fireball flies towards her. she twists out of the way and loses her balance, toppling off the side as well.  And now I can finally reveal what Spermy was up to while Zeetoo and I were getting the gladiators into the arena:  The stench of burning dog fills the arena as Three Gremlins and Candy Corn Tiger face the Two cows. Seeing this, Three Gremlins buries his pick in the head of the furry component of the opposing team, scoring the first actual kill of the match.  Rob Ford, also trying to quickly remove one of his opponents, tries to charge Candy Corn Tiger off the edge of the platform, knocking him down but failing to drive him off the side. The tigerman regains his feet and is forced to quickly dive back out of the way of a strike that would have shaved off not just his whiskers, but the front three centimeters of his face, and leaving him trapped on the corner of the great platform. Instead of pursuing, Rob Ford moves off to aid Min/Maxotaur in dealing with her strangler problem, agreeing that Three Gremlins is probably the most dangerous thing on the battlefield. Rob Ford charges the strangler but gets himself tangled up in Min/Maxotaur, sending the two of them to the floor in a heap. Min/Maxotaur regains her feet just in time to have her cheek torn open by the stranglers razor sharp fingernails. Before the strangler can do more, however, a Fire Imp clambers up the side through the cloud of smoke that is/was Tash and attacks him. Three Gremlins hacks off the creatures leg off with his pick and it falls back into the lava before bleeding to death. Rob Ford misses Three Gremlins with a strike from his sword as the strangler blocks a similar blow from Min/Maxotaur. He retaliates by buring his pick in Min/Maxotaur's chest, puncturing one of the minotaurs lungs. Candy Corn Tiger finally arrives in the battle and announces himself with a blow that breaks Min/Maxotaur's right arm. She looks stupefied for a moment as her dagger slips from her grip before clumsily attacking the strangler, but her blow goes wide. Candy Corn Tiger's, however, does not and slashes open her left foot and sends her to the floor where she passes out from pain. Candy Corn Tiger then stabs the minotaur through the head, killing her.  It is now 2 vs 1, with Three Gremlins standing above the prone Rob Ford, preventing him from climbing to his feet under the ancient and noble laws of dwarf fortress arena combat. Rob Ford takes a swing at the strangler and forces him to dodge away and allowing him to regain his feet, but not before Candy Corn buries his halberd in one of them. Despite the wound, the minotaur regains his feet and charges the strangler, driving him back. Down in the lava, Bad Munki finally expires in heat and flames. Candy Corn Tiger, finding himself alone, takes a brief moment to stab Donetllim Pike through the head, killing the comatose human. On the northen edge of the arena Rob Ford duels Three Gremlins in an intense and action packed battle amidst the cloud of smoke from the burning Tash. Suddenly yet another Fire Imp clambers up the side and attacks Rob Ford, who is forced to defend himself, swinging his sword through the creatures neck. This provided all the opportunity Three Gremlins needed, and the strangler buried his pick in the minotaurs shin, severing a motor nerve and dropping him to the floor. A second blow takes off the great creatures right foot. Desperate, Rob Ford flails at the strangler, who attempts to dodge but instead trips over the severed head of the fire imp the minotaur had just killed and tumbles off the side of the arena with a frustrated scream that turns to pain when he hits the lava with a loud wet sounding gloop. Tash finally perishes in the lava, having waded six tiles to the west and south in her agonised frenzy. Candy Corn Tiger spies Rob Ford amidst the thick plumes of smoke coming up over the side of the arena and charges at the prone minotaur, but Rob Ford manages to drag himself away to the side and Candy Corn, losing sight of him in the smoke, tumbles off the side of the arena as well. After a few minutes, both remaining Skeletons are reduced to ashes clad in molten metal, leaving A furry, a farmer, and two cows victorious. Rob Ford breathes a sigh of relief before hungry chittering comes from below and the fire imps spill up the side en masse. On the radio, Zeetoo and I consider rescuing him, but we discover that the insurance policy of the rental company doesn't cover acts of fire imps and, frankly, we want our $20 deposit back. A fireball strikes Rob Ford, setting his hair on fire and he lets out a despairing shout as he charges the Imps. The whole arena is blanketed in smoke and when it finally clears enough to reveal what has happened, only his burning corpse remains. of the imps there is no sign.  Kills: Three Gremlins in a Blender: 1 + 1 Fire Imp Candy Corn Tiger: 2 Rob Ford: 1 Fire Imp Lava: 4 Fire Imps: 1

Question: if you had to generalize, how would you say fire imps feel about class struggle and the labor theory of value? I'm only asking because I'm hoping they can be reconciled with Party leadership before Worker Cooperative burns to death.ZeeToo posted:I could fix that! This is a good start but move throwing axes down the list and move lies and more mystery boxes way, way up, like move "more mystery boxes" up above "mystery boxes" so we get more mystery boxes more sooner. Also Giant Cave Spiders are better than nothing but what I really want is a meticulously balanced point-buy system for designing our own forgotten beast fighters, although I feel I should warn you the first time my forgotten beast loses I will throw a tantrum whether it is balanced or not.

Mystery boxes should contain a roulette wheel which is then spun to determine the prize. 30-37 could be various adamantine weapons while 0 is a hostile fire imp stuck to the fighter's head. Numbers 1-29 would all be different sizes and shapes of chairs. To be used as weapons, of course.

Unfortunately, due to the size of the tournament, introducing mystery boxes would collapse the gladiator-building economy into a probabilistic function where the top 10%, as dictated by mostly luck of the box, vastly outperform all other gladiators. So what I'm saying is, mystery boxes.

Yeah, boxes would be random per fight. An inital 1d10 table or something. 1 might be weapons so then another 1d10 to find weapon. Another 1d6 for material. 2 might be armor. Same thing as above. 3 is an independent creature. 1d10 to find out what. And so on
