The Gladiator Games




What are The Gladiator Games?

The Gladiator Games is an event that pits players against monsters, beasts of legend, and each other to battle to the death. Players will be required to submit actions during each round, which will last 48 hours. During each round the players will be given a task, whether it be to find an item, battle a beast, or fight each other. Each round will reduce the number of participants until only one person is left standing. The final survivor will be the winner of The Gladiator Games!

This may not seem like a wintry, holiday sort of game, but trust me, there are some frosty twists.















Will there be weapons?

What kind of question is that? Of course there's weapons! How else would you battle to the death? The weapon system is composed of 2 parts.

First, each type of weapon has 4 base stats:
Attack, which is how much damage it does when used to physically hit an opponent;
Defense, which is how much damage it deflects when used to block a physical attack;
Magic-Attack, which is how much damage it does when used to hit an opponent with a non-physical attack;
Magic-Defense, which is how much damage is deflected when used to block a magic attack.

The second part is a modifier, which adds either a special ability, effects stats, or both.

















Classes

Barbarian: Uses large, melee weapons to smash their enemies to a pulp

Magician: Wields magic weapons, well, magically

Wizard: An excellent spell-caster, which requires no physical weapon to cast

Assassin: Uses small, melee weapons to make many quick jabs at their enemies

Tank: Knows how to use shields effectively and can handle extreme amounts of pain

Knight: Wields a bladed weapon unlike any other

Paladin: Dabbles a bit in magic and slices through enemies with precision cuts via a sword or other blade






boxes, Boxes, BOXES!

What kind of game would it be without boxes? Everyone can choose a box when they sign up, and boxes can be chosen more than once.

Each box will contain a weapon or weapons which you can use throughout the game. Keep in mind, these weapons may not match your chosen class. In that case, you may have to just roll with it until you get a chance to grab a new one. Or you can die. Whichever floats your boat!

You can choose any number box less than one hundred. Please, no irrational numbers or decimals; Whole numbers only.

No, no negative numbers are completely fine. They just aren't recommended if you want to last long ;)

----------------------
I was going to deliver boxes as you post your choices but since if multiple people pick the same box they get the same stuff I'm going to hold off. If someone gets one of the special boxes I'd hate having everyone after them pick that box too. Just letting you know, at least one of you has picked a special box. I'm just not telling who, or if it's a good one or a bad one :D

In that case I'm going for the safe (hopefully) #14 then, I hope that's the special one.

Phase One




RESULTS


The gladiators lined up in the starting circle in the center of the arena. The crowd cheered as they counted down. As each number was called, a cannon sounded. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, GO! They rushed towards various boxes, each one holding a weapon for them to take. Each gladiator tore through their box to get to the treasures inside. Only, a few of them came to a halt.

Sukyandaru and Omicron wrestled on the ground over box number 7. They rolled over the box a couple times. Luckily, the golden dice inside were not damaged in the fight. Eventually they noticed there were two handfuls of dice. Each one took their share and ran in opposite directions.

Lycanthropy and Ullion both ran to box number 14. This box was special, it was lined with a soft velvet while the outside was covered in sharp poisonous barbs that dripped red and green goo. Lycanthropy watched as Ullion charged ahead of him and tore through the box. Ullion shrieked in pain as the poison set in, his face was covered in tiny scratches that slowly turned purple and spread across his entire body. While he was down, Lycanthropy stole a holy dagger from the box and ran off, leaving Ullion to die. But, the poison was not lethal. After a few minutes of agonizing pain the poison subsided, leaving him to grab the demonic dagger from the box and turn to watch the next event unfold.


Sukyandaru -2
Omicron -2
Ullion -10






EVENT



Ten small purple dragons have been let loose in the arena. They swarmed like giant bees, staying in a group and diving down to attack their victims. Their mouths were lined with razor sharp teeth which were covered in red and green poison. Their eyes glowed as they targeted their victims; choosing one, they would swarm onto them and smother them as they attacked.

A voice booms, "You must fight these Wintra in order to proceed to the next round. Be creative in how you use your weapon as your abilities will not become active until phase two. Hopefully you survive until then. Good luck!"

Wintra #1
Wintra #2
Wintra #3
Wintra #4

Wintra #6
Wintra #7
