Garris smiles at his new cat friend wanting to show him his true power but instead fumbles around with his stick.
you are a fearsome opponent. I hope you don't die quickly in the arena, I would like to study you and your fighting style
Xem strikes back with a single punch toward Owyn's guts. His fist seem to radiate vibrations as they struck true ripping through his opponent wit unstoppable force, wracking him with more pain then the blow should have possibly been able to inflict. Xem brought his hands back up in a defensive stance.
Chasik will hiss at his opponent before entering some sort of battle stance.
Initiative 1d20+7
Attack 1d20+8
Damage 1d8+4
i believe you are grappled by Treiden. So remember to take the penalty.
Shuddering as his guts jumble about inside him and a pang of fear runs through him, Owyn assumes a more defensive stance and makes a single strike with his sword at Xem.
Ezer picks up 2 whips made of rattan. It is not the eventual weapon he would use but it should suffice.
Breunnor's wooden ball left a bad bruise on the side of his ribs as he lashed out both his whips at Breunnor.
Onimais nods at the 2 claw fighters Garris and Jobasha.
Good you fight on par with each other and with good passion. It will be a battle to watch should you get your claws. Tell me what you need and I will check with Desimo if it helps in your Novitus match, slave. Do not tell me your name for it has no purpose until your survive your first fight.
Thank you, Weapon master. I can gather what I need from the garden and the grounds if permitted. I also ask you to tell our master that if he so desires. I possess the unique ability to brew potions. I could supply our ludus with healing both for his gladiators and for sell. If master desires this I will supply him with a list of things to gather from the markets. Thank you, Weapon master. I will not die easily I will gain worth and learn from you and my fellow gladiators.
Garris wonders over to the various flowers and plants on the grounds and starts to gather what he needs to make a mutagen and extracts.
Knowledge Nature
Taking 20 for a 25 on craft Alchemy to make what I find work.
Look around slave, if you do well in your Novitus match I may grant you a small garden to grow your herbs and I will add the cost of acquiring the seeds to your debt.
Onimais nods.
The rest of you continue sparring!!
Onimais shouts at the fighting slaves.
Ahhhh ya really expect dat ta be workin? Give ya credit, ya smart nuff ta no be steppin to close.
afte the sharp cuts from the whip Breunnor stares him down My turn

Treiden takes a shot to the stomach after he gets his hands on the slippery magus. In response, he deftly grabs the creature's wrist, spins him around and locks him in a choke hold.
He forces the creature to the ground and asks in a steady voice, "Do you yield?"
Garris will start to pick what he needs and lay the ingredeiants out on flat stone. He will take the crude wooden sword and start to smash and break the leaves and berries to releae their juices. Assuming there is a cup or a bowl or somthing lying around he will gather what he needs to brew for the mutagen in it. He will then rip off some of his clothes to make little pouches to gather and mix what he needs for his extracts.
Yes Weapon master these will do nicely. I will be ready for the arena in an hours time. Will we have our Novitus match today? Or should I hold off until tomorrow to make my elixir?
The Nagaji wriggles around for a moment but is unable to escape Treiden's grasp. He drives his knee into the creature's ribs and asks again as it's spit slides down his face, "Do you yield?"
[dice=Stunning Fist DC 15]1d20+9-2[/dice]
If you are grappled, you can attempt to break the grapple as a standard action by making a combat maneuver check (DC equal to your opponent's CMD; this does not provoke an attack of opportunity) or Escape Artist check (with a DC equal to your opponent's CMD). If you succeed, you break the grapple and can act normally. Alternatively, if you succeed, you can become the grappler, grappling the other creature (meaning that the other creature cannot freely release the grapple without making a combat maneuver check, while you can). Instead of attempting to break or reverse the grapple, you can take any action that doesn’t require two hands to perform, such as cast a spell or make an attack or full attack with a light or one-handed weapon against any creature within your reach, including the creature that is grappling you. See the grappled condition for additional details. If you are pinned, your actions are very limited. See the pinned condition in Conditions for additional details.
Your match will be in 2 days time.
Onimais replied.
Two days you say souds good to me. I will make my preparations.
Garris will continue to gather and work until the weapon master says otherwise.
Alright that's enough!
Onimais shouts to the grappled pair.
Another lesson slaves, you may have weapons but weapons are of no use if you cannot use it. And you bald slave! Do not ask for the yield, go for the kill next time. This is not your mother's playyard.
There was a loud crack as Breunnor's ball strike across Ezer's face. He groaned in pain and threw down his weapon running away from Breunnor.
Come back slave!
Onimais cracks his whip around Ezer's throat as he casted him onto the ground.
You disgraced our Ludus!! To the cells you go. Guards!!
2 imposing guards rushed out and drag the screaming and kicking Garundi away before throwing him into the cell
Let this be a lesson to you slaves!! Face your death like gladiators and honor this Ludus!!
Garris looks up for a moment. His initial reaction is to help the man, but he lowers his head and goes back to work. Probably better to stay out of others business at this point.
Treiden releases his hold on the Nagaji and steps back quickly allowing him to stand on his own. He keeps a cautious eye on the creature as he awaits further instruction from Onimais.
Chasik attempts to attack or comes within 5' of Treiden in a threatening manor, Treiden will attack him with nonlethal blows.
Xem finished his final kick upon Owyn.
Breunnor is about to move in with his wrecking ball as the fight is called to a halt.
That be good enough fer ya! a shouts to his new owner/ weapon master
Jobasha watches passively, taking in the situation.
Deftly dodging Xem's blow, Owyn recovers some of his mettle and strikes out again recklessly.
Enough!!
Onimais glares at Owyn.
I said 2 attack routines and if you disobey me once more i will throw you in the gallows with that wimpering Garundi!!
Now get your sorry ass over to the dining table as dinner will be served after which retire yourself in the quarters!1
A boy carrying a large cauldron came to the training ground and started handing out a yellow like rice substance in a wooden bowl with wooden spoons.
Jobasha will waste no time getting his food, he knows he will need strength in the coming days.
With an effort of will, Owyn lowers his weapons and nods to Onimais.
"Apologies, weaponmaster. Won't happen again."
Turning, Owyn heads to get grub.
A huge ugly beefcake of a woman comes walking out of the Ludus to join the eating men. She says nothing, simply sneering at everything with testicles. She shoves her way to the food, cracking one of the Garundi slaves in the crotch with her knee and throwing him out of her way. After taking her bowl she sits as far away from the males as possible, and slurps down her porridge quickly like a ravenous sow. Great. More of the inferior sex clogging up this disgusting testosterone pit. If one of them touches me I will feed his nipples to a sand tortoise.

Ah Ariella good for you to join us...do teach these new slaves a thing or two about manner will ya?
Onimais snickers and shakes his head before retreating to a corner eating what seems to be a roast beef leg.
Jobasha says nothing to anyone unless spoken to. No sense making friends if you don't know if they'll survive the novitus matches, he thinks to himself, and most of them look like they don't even want friends.
After eating, Jobasha will go find a bed in a corner and rest there, thinking on the days events and what will happen tomorrow.
Enough!!
Onimais glares at Owyn.
I said 2 attack routines and if you disobey me once more i will throw you in the gallows with that wimpering Garundi!!
Onimais did a mental note on today's outcome.
Owyn wins Xem.
Garris ties with Jobasha.
Treiden wins Chasik
Breunnor wins Ezer.
Garris will take a break and walk over to eat and drink a little. He will sit and chat with some of the Garundi slaves. Small talk just to pass the time.

Chasik at first glance thinks that the new person (Ariella) is a guy until he sees her boobs from the side and thinks to himself...a face even a mother couldn't love.. He will eat his food, not talk to anyone, what's the point of making friends in a hellhole like this anyways. (Jobasha's view on it pretty much). After food he'll go straight to bed, he won't sleep until he knows everyone has already fallen asleep, devising a plan should he ever face against either 'monk' again.
The night passed without much event as they retired for the night.
The next day they were awoken abruptly by the guards that clang their swords against their shields causing a loud din.
Wake up you scrawny worms!! It is a new day for death!!
Onimais screamed at the top of his lungs as he cracked his whip.
Tomorrow is your Novitus match and you better learn whatever you can today for it may just save your sorry neck!!
Onimais then paired the slaves against each other depending on yesterday's results.
2 attack routines!!
At the corner of the slave's eyes they noticed Ezer accompanying Desimo as he leaves the Ludus in a carriage.
Treiden steps up against his overbearing opponent and gives a courteous bow before Onimais snaps his whip to signal combat. He studies the weapons Owyn carries and decides that if he could successfully unbalance him, he would be useless without arms.
He steps up cautiously and slams his pointed fingers into Owyn's solar plexus through a gap in his armor then follows up with a palm bash to the nose.
Garris stands and stretches. He hears pairings are about to be announced. So he decides to make this shorter than yesterday so he can get some more work done. He drinks down his mutagen and lets out a roar as hair and claws grow and he takes on a more feral look. Garris then 5’ steps up to his cat training partner and unleashes a furry of attacks. All power attacks. Swift action into Dragon Style
Crit conformation
Damage
Crit
Garris claws his feline friend twice but misses with a bite attack as his friend is unconcious and falling to the ground.
Weapon master, I broke my partner, I'm going to go pick some more plants now so I can unleash my power in my match tomorrow if that is suiting to you.
Garris wonders over and starts to pick what he needs to form another mutagen for tomorrows match.
