J/K/R: "A place much like this. A place where men, women and beasts fight for their own survival. Those that survived, were promised freedom. Apparently, this is it." There was no use lying to his fellows, they were all dead soon enough.

So, interesting hypothetical floating around at work. Pick one movie. All of the characters except one are replaced with Muppets. What movie do you pick, and who stays normal? I picked Conan the Barbarian (Original with Arnold), and James Earl Jones stayed human. What would yours be?

J/K/R: "Yes, I was born to this life. I was raised to fight. Fought for a decade to secure my freedom. Then I was betrayed and sent here, where ever here is, and I fully intend on securing my freedom once more."
And when I do, that bastard is going to pay dearly. He thought.

J,K, Roland: Jason grunted as his questions went unanswered. Turning his head slowly, he tried to get a better look through the bars. But to no avail.

GM: I don't have Darkvision. Part of the drawback of being Arena-Bred. Just added that to my Profile for future reference.
His eyes adjusted to the darkness as much as they normally did. Seeing the Catfolk across from him, his fogged memory recalled an old friend of his, Amon, that scrappy feline could use a shield like no other. Shaking his head, which turned out to be a mistake as it cause it to throbbed, he finally spoke, "Jason. Where are we? Looks like holding cells for an Arena. Which one?"

So just a heads up on my character plans for gear. I don't plan on wearing actual armor, like I said, a 300-esque style phalanx fighter. So if possible, can some of my rewards be Bracer's of Armor?

Seeing one of the new guys getting himself into trouble, Jason rushed in and stabbed at one of the Gnolls. Charge to the square that is two spaces to Jaren's left. And attack the left Gnoll. -2 to AC until next round. Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 = 13 Damage?: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Just an FYI for everyone, I'll be going on vacation starting tomorrow and won't be back until Nov 12th. So my posting may be a little sparse, but I'll post when I can.

"Not a bad idea. But where is the source?" Jason responded as he closed his eyes and tried to feel where the heat and cold came from. Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Jason slogged forward through the darkness, keeping his ears open for the slightest hint of danger in the darkness. Perception: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Lowering his stance, Jason dropped his shield in front of him and readied his spear over the top of that. Looking back he said, "Morgan, Yldrath, keep behind me. Noonan, Elijah, either side of me and protect our flanks. Juro, keep in the rear with your bow ready."

Well, to be fair, we're a little tired, battered, just met. It's going to take a bit get used to each other. That, and it's hard to talk with the Alchemist fumes choking most of us.

Jason just blocked out the fumes. He had dealt with gladiatorial alchemists before. Quite the unsavory lot in my opinion. Shrugging, the Half-Orc went back to his stew. After finishing, he looked through his pack, pulled out a cloth and began cleaning off his weaponry.

Jason followed the other two warriors into the sleeping quarters. Taking in a deep breath he said, "Ah, that stew smells wonderful." Stepping forward, grabbed a bowl and served himself.

Round 6 Seeing the Orc go down, Jason turned to see one of his compatriots in trouble. Sucking up the pain, the Half-Orc moved to assist. Double Move: SW, SW, SW, SW, SW, SW, SW, W, W

Round 5: Pressing his advantage, Jason thrust his spear once again at the wounded Orc. Stab!: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20 Wound!: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 After executing an almost perfect strike, the Half-Orc attempted to slam his metal shield in the other Orc's face. Slam!: 1d20 ⇒ 11 Pretty sure that's a miss.

Round 4 Ignoring the pain inflicted by the full-blooded Orc, Jason stabbed his spear at the wounded opponent, while maintaining his shield against the other. Stab: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 Crunch?: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Attack of Opportunity: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17 Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 As the Orc ran passed Jason, he removed his spear from the enemy he stabbed, twisted his wrist, and put the spear into its side as it ran. Round 3 Improved Shield Bash: 1d20 ⇒ 3 Melee: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6 As he turned to face the two opponents in front of him, the Half-Orc attempted to bash his shield in the face of the Orc in front of him, then tried to stab wounded one with his spear once more. I still retain my shield bonus while I'm bashing away.

Round 2 Looking at the Orcs, Jason roared, "Face me with Honor!" Tapping his shield with his spear twice, he then charged the nearest opponent. Almost upon him, the warrior leaped the last 5 feet, driving his spear into the enemy's flesh. Charge. Move SE 1, then E 7. The leaping part is just a description for dramatic flare. Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 2 = 23 Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Realizing that the portal behind him was closer, the Half-Orc shifted his stance and turned to face the other one to the east, Spear ready to impale the first monster to come close.

As the Portal's appeared, Jason turned to face the western one, swinging his shield in front of him and placing his spear over the top edge, ready to stab at the first thing that came close.

@ Morgan - Thanks to that earlier healing you did on me, I'm only down 1 HP, so I'm good. My stats are under the Status Spoiler, and I usually do a pretty good job keeping it up to date. Slightly earlier: Standing tall, the Half-Orc spoke, "I am Jason Argus, born of battle, and I seek the Honor and Glory your arena has to offer, until death takes me." Now: "I still here the call of battle within my veins, bring forth more enemies that we me fight with Honor." Turning to Morgan, "You have a shield, that is all the weapon you need." He accented his point by tapping his shield with his spear three times.

Looking over his shoulder at the man behind him, the Half-Orc gave a nod of graditude then rolled forward to avoid the Ogre's attack. Roll diagonal towards nearest Ogre. Acrobatics vs CMD to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22 Coming up to his feet, the warrior stabbed forward with his spear. Melee Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 Pretty certain that's not a hit, but just in case: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Just I note, I realized that I didn't take into account that I was not in TWF mode. I've modified my Profile info to reflect this. AoO: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 As the big brute moved away unexpectedly, Jason tried to stab at it with his spear, but to no avail. Jason then moved to protect his 'partner' from the Ogre as best he could. Move Back Diagonally Right 1, and Back 1. Should put me two squares in front of Morgan. Readied Action: Attack if the Ogre gets close.

Looking at the man to his left, and noticing that he had nothing but a shield and chain armor, Jason simply said, "Get behind me, and stay there." With that, he dashed foward to meet the Ogre head on. Moving diagonal three and up two. Reaching the brute, the Half-Orc stabbed with his spear. Melee: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20 Pretty certian that's a hit, Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 That ought to make a pretty good first impression.
