When joining the gladitorial games our DM wove in the notion that our party would have to subit a name. After wracking our brains for a couple of minutes and coming up with some really bad ones we came up the Blink Dogs(based on my Elocator character's ability to use dimentional door). We were thrilled. IT fit, it was short, it had a great ring to it and within seconds another member of our party even created a gang sign for us (make 2 ok signs infront of you so they read "bd" now move your hands so that they can be read from someone facing you except your right hand should be on your left side and vice versa). Well that aside I was wondering if any other parties had done this and if so what your party's name is. I'd imagine you'd just use your literal party name instead of coming up with one just for the games.
My players have a tendency to push the warrior (fighter/paladin/barbarian) into traps to spring them, rather than risk their precious necks. Thus, they have dubbed themselves "Meat Shield and the three Wise Guys."
They will probably submit a name but still be dubbed,
The Butchers Of The Age Of Worms!
It drives them crazy.
Eberron party:
The Fateshards
So far they've made quite an impression; after mucking up their reputation wonderfully to start as rank 1 gladiators, they hit the games running.
Round 1: Fateshards ally with elvish archers before fight; wizard takes out entire Sapphire Squad with one well-placed lightning ball (electricity-augmented fireball). Squad picks off the gnolls, then the Fateshards take everyone else out in short order.
Round 2: The Pitch Blade team gets one turn. One. The Fateshards get initiative... dispel the dwarves' flight when they're halfway to them... and take down the dwarves with a slough of surrounded attacks.
Round 3: Players prepare nothing but fire and anti-cold spells, and are shocked to see the Froghemoth. However, Froggy only grapples two players and doesn't eat any before biting the dust. Raknian furiously laments the loss of a Heroe's Feast, and 10,000gp.
The last game is this weekend. Can't wait to sic Auric on them.
Since the PC's very public face-off with Zyrxog - The Mindslayers!

Nice play on words.

What does the warrior have to say about that?
