Tordek, Character Sheet
Tordek, the Veteran Gladiator

Advantages:
> Fame – you are a minor celebrity in Raam. Some of the young templars that bet on you (and against you) remember you now they are approaching their middle age. Kids still sometimes play ‘Tordek and the Giant’ in the streets. You hardly ever have to buy your own drinks.

> Freeman – you are the master of your own destiny. You can move from city to city and own slaves.

> Veteran’s Eye – You can identify fighting styles fairly quickly and design tactics to counter foreign styles. In addition you have an instinct for telling when a slave has that survival spark or an opponent is going to be trouble.
>1d100 roll

> Trainer – you can train your recruits in all standard and military weapon types. Also you can train your recruits in the Exotic proficiencies you know.

Exotic Specialties
---------------------
> Cahulaks
> Giant Fighting
>Hoplomachus
> Dual punching daggers


> Gladiator – You are just as deadly as the day you stepped out of the arena.

Disadvantages:

> Uneducated – you are illiterate and cannot do more than basic sums. Finances are currently beyond you. Untrustworthy souls may take advantage of you.
> Wound – you have an annoying scar. On the plus side you can tell if it is going to rain.

Let's pass on the slave markets today. Continue on what we have now and work them up, then buy some some beasts of men when we get some real dough.

"Bring the boys out to play, it's time for today's lesson." Stretch, let's go to work.

Waiting on a couple more votes

>>11959621
I agree with this guy

I vote we have Kr'ktt and Unstoppable each take one of the promising candidates for a bit of one-on-one training to see what they've got.

>>11959621
>Continue on what we have now and work them up

How we make money
>off gladiators

We head out to the arena

>off criminals/unskilled slaves/wretches

Most people don't have what it takes to become full (leveled) gladiators. Consider the slaves (criminals/unskilled slaves/wretches) to be a cheap short term investment.

Usually it takes 2 weeks of standard training to take a normal slave and get them healthy and robust enough to become a noxii.

Noxii can fight at the arena in the following games:
Chained Pairs – Last pair standing wins
Animal Hunt – Noxii mob vs Pack of Wolves or Single animal (Dire Wolf, or Cave Bear)
Free for all – in which Noxii are released one at a time into the arena. Last one standing wins.

You get 10-15cp per noxii entered in these games from the arena manager. 95% of the time the noxii die.

Based on the current harsh approach to training, where the sparring winners get the beds and the losers have to sleep outside, this has accelerated the time required to convert the slaves to noxii by about 50%.

Get the huge criminal and put him on weights training etc. See if we can get him xbawks hueg. Then we have a great novelty item.

>>11959862

I say we put the promising slave and the brute into some one-on-one training so we can get a better look at them, then throw the rest into Noxii prep.

>>11959923

Gonna go with this guy. See if we can't muster up some potential.

>>11959862
Btw the slaves are trained to be noxii automatically by Geb.

Currently there have been no causalities. With the current plan however, this will change.

Gladiator Training Plan
------------------------------------
Resources:

Training to be Noxii:
-------------------------
>20 wretches
>8 criminals
> 2 criminals*
> 1 unskilled slave *

*= exceptional slaves
Trainer: Geb
Training Approach: Workout slaves. Slaves spar each other for the privilege of sleeping inside. 10 will sleep outside upon failure.
Result: Very harsh on health for losers. Reduces time for training completion by 50%
Days left in training: 7

Status: 7 wretches known to be diseased.
Morale: Low because of harsh training

Training Goals:

Pick One:
>General Workout (1/day)
>Retrain a power (melee source) – requires Tordek
>Train for specific event (ex Pairs)

>Train in a specific style of fighting Tordek knows
(may take week or more)

>>11959771

>>11959910
this could be good. its not that hard to find heavy things so itd be almost free. then if we're short on cash we can host a LOOK AT THE FREAK show for cheap moneys.

>>11959932
Can we get a quick list of each gladiator's respective powers and the events available?

Should we specalize our gladiators or make them all rounders? I'm in favour of specilization.

>>11959986
Kr'ktt seems like a good specialist, but I think Unstoppable would fare better as an all-rounder.

>>11959932

Dear god why do we have diseased slaves?!?!
They are a liability if they infect our healthy stock. Give them all a dagger and have them take on one of the promising slaves. The brute criminal preferably.

>>11959771
>>11959923
>>11959946

Tordek folds his arms and spits on the sand, watching Watapon, the big greatsword wielding gladiator, and the brute criminal circle each other. Both are armed with mahogany clubs. The brute is muscular and large, but not as defined as Watapon. The brute yells and rushes at Watapon, who calmly sidesteps and uses his superior finesse to tire out the criminal before backhanding him and slamming the cudgel against his jaw. While the brute is stunned and sapped of energy, he only drops to his knees and manages to weakly block. Looks like this one will require at least a month of hard one on one training from Tordek to become a novice (lv1) gladiator. He's not very skilled or bright, but he has natural constitution.

Kr'ktt slowly circles the exceptional unskilled slave with his gythka. The slave eyes the kreen warily, brandishing a quarterstaff in both hands. Suddenly a high-pitched inscetoid keening comes from Kr'ktt and he throws the gythka aside and leaps at the man. Striking with his four limbs with claw rakes and what appears to be uppercuts, the man backs away, accepting a bloody slash on the forearm to get the space to block the kreen's three other arms.

Illiene, your mindbender, circles the fighters warily, his eyes on the kreen. However the kreen seems to be 'pulling his punches' and the exceptional slave displays an intelligent techinque and finesse more than brute force. This one may also take a month or 5 weeks to train, and it from Tordek's veteran senses, he might be made into a rogue or intelligence based gladiator (arcane or primal focus) more than a warrior. If you had the trainer for such a thing that is.

>>11960103
We ought to do something about them, but I don't know if that's the answer. If we do go this way, I vote having them fight scarface, if only because I get a better vibe from the brute.

>>11959967
List of abilities and corresponding actions

And for the arena games, vote to go to the arena or I'd refer you to the archived previous games.

>>11960118
Well then let's go ahead and push ahead the Brute and Rogue on their training schedule and look into hiring some specialists to further train the Rogue when we head into the market again.

>>11960103
>>11960174
>on diseased slaves

If you want to kill them off I need 3 votes. Seems there are already two. And yes it is VERY possible some of them have communicable diseases.

>>11959910
>>11959962

i am also in favour of this.

>>11960191

Do it.

>>11960191
How long until their training is complete and we can send them off to die in the arena for a profit? It'd be a terrible shame for our investments to give us absolutely no returns.

>>11960191
Don't kill the off. Put them in arena ASAP.

>>11959910
>Get the huge criminal and put him on weights training etc

You could have Tordek focusing on Training the Brute for a week purely on strength. That would take his week and we could time skip.

If we do that any other changes to Geb's training this week?

I say we train Kr'ktt in Giant Fighting and Unstoppable in Skirmish.
The brute I have no idea what to do with really, and unless we know someone or find an appropriate person while we're out and about, I guess the other one will have to go rogue.

>>11960219
Could Tordek also train Unstoppable in Giant Fighting during this time?

>>11960211
I agree, juice them for all their worth.

>>11960235
With as trip-based as he is, I think Kr'ktt might need Giant Fighting a bit more, but that's just me.

>>11960255
I don't think he's so much trip based as he is knockdown and overwhelm. I don't know if that could really work well with a giant.

>>11960272
That's precisely my concern. If he ends up against a giant as he is, he'll likely end up well and truly fucked.
While I don't think we should have him hunting giants by any means, it would be nice for him to have a safety net, should the situation arise.

Regardless, let's put these guys through their paces for today, even if we don't work on specializations yet.

Also, send the diseased slaves into the ring, or sell them for whatever their worth.

Let's also try to physically expand our Ludas, set some slaves to work making more gladiator quarters, or improving the training ground we have now so we can train up our gladiators faster.

>>11960329
I can get behind this. Hell, the construction is almost a vacation for them at this point, perhaps it will boost that low morale.

>>11960219
Nah. Put Tordek to work on the other Gladiators for now. Just get the brute to push around rocks or something. It won't be as effective but we shouldn't be wasting valuable training time on a side project.

>>11960350
I don't think it'll kill us to give the slaves a day off. The gladiators (and potential gladiators) are our main focus at the moment anyway.

>>11960235
>Could Tordek also train Unstoppable in Giant Fighting during this time?

No. Tordek can only focus on one training task at a time. Trainers are available, but the cost money. One may cost from 300-500 cp for 6 months.

>>11960202
At midday the seven diseased wretches are given a meal and then marched in a line in the sand pit. Tordek, Geb, Illiene and Kr'ktt are there. Geb passes out sharp obsidian daggers. A couple of the wretches are too weak from sleeping outside to raise the daggers to their flesh. One of the slaves who has been hacking up bloodly phlegm cuts their veins first before slashing his throat.

One of the wretches has enough fight to feebly strike at Geb, but his arm stops in mid stroke and turns backwards slowly inching towards his throat. The wretch looks at the blade, then Illiene in horror, the mindbender's face a calm mask of concentration as the dagger enters the man's own throat and forces him to expire.

We should also get rid of the middle man, as far as the buying of slaves/criminals go.

Let's personally go to some prisons, or garrisons, look through the galleys of the local port, just buy men straight out. I think we'd get better deals this way.

>>11960350
Seconded.
>>11960329
In fact, get the slaves to build shit and make the brute do all the heavy lifting or whatever. Efficent and effective.

>>11960362
Have the bodies sent off to be burned as soon as possible.

>>11960362
Well, I suppose they wouldn't have gotten anything out of the arena in that state. Let's be sure to burn the corpses. We don't need any of that crap spreading.

>>11960379
Sure. Kr'ktt peers at the corpses, his multifaceted eyes shining like fabled jewels. Clacking his mandibles, he thrusts one of his claws into the body pile and pulls out...a now severed head.

He shuffles over to Tordek and curiously slams the head against a rock, cracking the skull. Geb and Illiene look at the kreen strangely. Is this its way of offering food to its master?

Before Tordek can respond with a 'Good boy, thats a good boy,' one of the eye lids of the severed head flutter open. Infact the eyeball actually pops out as if pushed out from something within. A beautiful purple iridescent insect inches its way from the ocular cavity and then unfurles a prismatic set of wings. They are stunning and ...the pattern draws Tordek's attention.

With a high-pitched keen the Thrikreen's claws immediately slam down on the creature, blooding it to a pulp.

>>11960362
Sell the bodies to SCIENCE!
Or whoever will buy them.

>>11960419
Assuming nobody pipes up about the bug, I guess we'll have to continue as planned, though we might check Kr'ktt's reaction to the topic of corpse-burning.
We should definitely ask around town about them though, I'd hate to think there were more of them around here.

>alright I'm seeing a lot of opinions here.

Need 3 votes to move forwards
Geb's action:
>Train slaves into Noxii (will take one week) or
>Have slaves expand the current arena

Tordek's actions:
>Train the brute criminal in strength (week)
>Kr'ktt trained in Giant Fighting (week)

Other actions this week
>Arena me!

>Train the brute criminal in strength (week) OR
>Kr'ktt trained in Giant Fighting (week)

Other actions this week- Pick one
>Arena me!
>Lets buy slaves from the standard market
>Lets look for more direct dealers!

>>11960419
BUGS? I HATE BUGS!

1) Buy slaves direct.
2) Get slaves to expand arena.
3) Train the brute in strength.
4) Next week we hit the slave market, buy new gladiators, hit the arena hard.

>>11960454
I vote to train most of the slaves to Noxii, but spare the weakest few to check around the compound for a bug infestation.
I'm torn on Tordek, though I would like to add a vote to train Unstoppable in Skirmishing, since you left him out of the mix.
As for the last, either the arena or direct buying, both sound good.

>>11960454
>Train slaves into Noxii (will take one week)
>Train the brute criminal in strength (week)
>Arena me!

My votes.

Bump for Noxii?

>Train slaves into Noxii (will take one week)
>Train the brute criminal in strength (week)
Got 2 votes for each. So lets head out to the arena

>>11960725
Do we choose what we kind of matches we want?

>>11960750
Damn straight.
Pick a gladiator and one of the matches

and I need one more 1d24

rolled 16 = 16

I don't know how the paired matches will work out with the two we have now. Maybe some singles would be in our favor.

Let's do 3 80cp skirmishes with both gladiator, to unconsciousness.

>>11960759
Can we scout opponents in advance, or only once we've chosen the match type?

>>11960782
Skirmishes are a series of fights and the varying payouts are dependent upon how far you make it, if I recall.
Also, I vote a skirmish with Unstoppable and some sort of single match with Kr'ktt.

>>11960782
>skirmishes
Just to clarify skirmishes are an endurance match against three opponents with a short rest (recharge encounter powers, spend 1 healing surge) in between.

You get 20 cp automatically for joining, and each round you survive the winnings increase. Survive to the third round and lose that you win 80cp total

>>11960783
Veteran's Eye (1d100) only applies for when Tordek actually sees the opponent in action. It may give you advice for what type of strategy the opponent is using.

>How the arena works
Pick a match and a gladiator for that match.

The Raam arena is featuring a fight with a Hejkin Chanter in the Beast Pen for today's entertainment, should you choose that match.

>>11960796
Clarification, not a new vote: I'll go for a beast fight for Kr'ktt.

>>11960823
Skirmish for Unstoppable. Single to unconsciousness for Kr'ktt

>>11960844
>beast fight for Kr'ktt

Sounds good.

>Review on how combat works
>Kr'ktt's actions and feats are described here >>11960162

Each 'turn' pick two actions Kr'ktt will take and roll initiative

Example:
1d20 for initative
>charge and Takedown Attack
>Thri-kreen claws

>>11960877
Seconding.

>>11960886

Black slaves from Nibenae blow on shofars as pennants emblazened with the symbol of the god of Raam, Badna, snap and flutter in the hot desert winds.

Kr'ktt steps out of the shade of the gate, his Gythka gripped in his carapace laden primary forelimbs. A gate opens and a ....dwarf like thing shuffles into sight. Misshapen and twisted, the Hijkin screams as its bird like talon's scratch at the earth and it moves forwards with a shuffling gait. The dog-like humanoid covered in unhealthy looking fur crouches low and peers at the kreen through bloodshot mad eyes.

>Initiative and actions?

>>11960908

Missed your votes. Will do that after the beast fight.

Veteran's eye on the opponent.

rolled 60 = 60

Rollan for veteran's eye.

>>11960932
Use a charging Knockdown Assault.

rolled 1 = 1

>>11960932

Assuming the Veteran's Eye doesn't reveal anything earth shattering, charging Takedown Attack followed by a Brash Strike.

>>11960990
Even online my dice still betray me. Goddamn.

rolled 14 = 14

>>11960958
Tordek has fought Hejkins before and the kreen is a reasonable match for one. One on one they are best fought from range. It can get tricky when there are multiple Hejkins as the mad things can meld with the earth and switch places with their kin.

That doesn't apply in this fight however.

>>11961005
Hmm... our only ranged attack would leave us disarmed. I think I'll stick with >>11960990

rolled 14 = 14

>>11960990
>>11960970

Faster than it looks, the Hejkin lopes towards Kr'ktt kicking up sand and dirt behind it like a dog. It skids to a halt in front of the kreen and slams its misshapen fists onto the earth, evoking a wave of sand and black energy to crash over the now defensive insect, buffeting the gladiator to the ground.
>hp 21/29
>prone

The kreen has been hurled to the back wall of the arena by the blast, it stands up and reorients itsself, mandibles clicking. Dropping the point of the gythka it rushes the Hejkin, but the creature sides steps fully and the kreen's attack thrusts against empty air.

>Action taken to stand
>Knockdown assault failed

>Initiative/orders?

>>11961057
Second verse same as the first! Takedown Attack with a Brash Strike follow up, hopefully without all the failure this time.

rolled 1 = 1

>>11961069
I really have to work on this whole dice thing.

>>11961071
yes. yes you do.

rolled 17 = 17

>>11961069
second this.

rolled 19 = 19

>>11961069
The Hejkin roars and rakes a claw across the kreen's face, but the kreen's secondary arms slap away the paw.

The kreen chitters its mandibles together and swipes the polearm at the Hejkin's thighs, lurching forwards with its upper body to slam the malformed thing into the ground.
>enemy prone

Standing above the creature the kreen rears back and holds the polearm over its head, slamming it down hard on the monster's cranium, drawing forth a spurt of yellow-crimson blood.
>enemy bloodied
>Kreen gives combat advantage to Hejkin
>hp 21/29 + 4 temp hp.

The hejkin screams, trying to rise to its feet but the insect gets in a lucky backhand, forcing the monster to the sand again (crit fail hejikin)

>Orders/initative?

rolled 20 = 20

>>11961154
I'm inclined to go with a couple of Brash Strikes, unless anybody else has a better idea.
Trying initiative one more time before I give up on these bloody dice.

rolled 3 = 3

>>11961154
If each gladiator can only fight once per day, I say try and finish him with our daily, Driving Attack

rolled 5 = 5

>>11961195

The Hejkin, seems groggy and slow to react as the kreen strikes the monster across the skull with the gythka then slams the end of the polearms into the hejkin's solar plexus, skidding it across the sand in a smear of festering sulfuric blood.
>Driving strike used
>Raging!

The Hejkin growls and wobbles on its knees, attempting to stand, when the kreen darts in, grasping its head with all four arms and twisting it right around in a sickening crunch.

+40 cp

>Which is next fight? Next day Kreen against a single opponent or Unstoppable against another 3 man skirmish?

If single fighter chose your opponent
>Gnoll Barbarian
>Dwarf Battlemind
>Tiefling Rogue

If skirmish your line up is:
>Dray Psion
>Half Elf Ranger
>Elf Seeker

>>11961241
Aww, I'm going to miss Unstoppable's fight. Oh well, he'll probably be better off without my bipolar rolling anyway.
Somebody be sure to archive this thread so I can read it later!

rolled 7 = 7

>>11961241
I'd vote for a single fight against either the gnoll or the tiefling.

I think we should go with the skirmish.

>>11961276

Unstoppable nearly died against a psion the last time. I vote for single combat against the Gnoll

rolled 20 = 20

>>11961262
>>11961276
Skirmish it is then.

A tall and well built dray male strides into the arena from the opposing creaking bone gate. Charcoal gray colored scales emphasize the pure silver color of his eyes as it raises an obsidian orb and sneers at 'Unstoppable' arrogantly.

>orders initiative!

rolled 18 = 18

As a reminder you may also use Veteran's Eye.

>>11961262
he didn't vote for either skirmish or the single fight, and we got 2 for the gnoll now

rolled 1 = 1

>>11961310
Attempt to flank it and lop it's head of.

Well fuck me in the ass with a metal rod... why the fuck did I roll a ONE!? of all things!

>>11961315
Thsi arcer is gona be killed.

>>11961315
well, if we're going to do the skirmish, best use the eye first. Then send unstoppable in with a charge and spinning sweep.

rolled 15 = 15

>>11961328

Tordek hears shouts and sounds of protestation behind him as he sits in the arena viewing box. Glancing behind him, he spies Illiene grinning like a fool and leaping from the back of one row of seats to another, a steaming basket in his hands.

Tordek hears the faint *pop* of telekinesis as Illiene jumps down beside him and thrust the basket into his arms. Opening the basket and grabbing a kebob of fried lizard, Illiene says 'So 'Unstoppable' will be fighting this gnoll barbarian after this skirmish. Turns out the owner is a Templar of a bit of a genial sort. I chatted with him and it seems he's a bit of a betting man. He's got a side bet on this skirmish up to 50 cp that our man 'Unstoppable' makes it to at least the second tier. How does that benefit us? Well I just might say that this here templar loves his gnolls. This one is all the way from the Dragon Horns and looks like if he wins his bet, we might have an in to talk to him about recruiting gnolls for our selves. And there might be access to a trainer to boot. Interesting no?'

>was halfway through writing up about the gnoll...but looks like skirmish quickly first. sorry guys.

rolled 4 = 4

>>11961380
>>11961404

Unstoppable comes out to a cheering crowd. He readies his greatsword and prepares to get into a running crouch, when the dray's eyes gleam like quicksilver. The dray's clawed hands slam together, faster than thought, holding the obsidian orb aloft as it burns with a coruscating violate flame. A ripple in the air speeds toward Unstoppable's forehead.

The mighty fighter reels back, eyes bleeding from a single ravening thought attacking his mind.
>23/37 hp
>SAVE vs ongoing 5 psychic

Unstoppable screams in fury and charges the dray, connecting with a vicious overhanded sweep.
>dray is bleeding from a nasty gash and roars in anger as it is now bloodied

>>11961518

>>11961545
Sure. Don't forget to roll for eye and Save too.

Unstoppable spins his bone-tooth greatsword in a circle, just barely seconds before the dray pushes its ball of flaming obsidian into the big fighter's face. Unstoppable turns his shoulder into the swing hard, giving it just enough momentum to pierce the dray's scales and cloth. Muscles burning, the warrior knows it was a very close thing (almost crit fail) as the blow knocks the psion down.
>psion is prone
>spinning strike used

Snarling the dray vanishes and reappears 15 feet away, jumping to its feet, seemingly more invigorated.
>action point spent, teleported, second wind, no longer prone.

>Enemy no longer in melee range, cannot reap

>Objective/Initative?

>>Enemy no longer in melee range, cannot reap

The way I first read that sentence I think it's time to take a break from /tg/.

>don't let me down dice

Rape him.
We are the unstoppable fighter with the UNSTOPPABLE COCK.

rolled 7 = 7

>>11961664
This psion is clearly a telekinetic. While Tordek can't seem to get a read on what specifically the dray will do next, he gets the gut feeling that if he is keeping Unstoppable at range, then that's for a reason.

>>11961704
>nicely done
Unstoppable grips his fists and furrows his brow, imagining a impenetrable tower. A moment later the pressure is released around his mind and he rushes forwards screaming a battle cry to the heavens.

Unstoppable swings his sword against the dray from shoulder to hip but the dray deadens the impact of the blade with a thought (min damage rolled) the barest edge of the blade cutting through his scales and spattering the sand with deep crimson blood.
>dray almost down

The dray raises a palm and unstoppable feels a wave of force crash against him, but he digs his heels into the sand and pushes against it. Unstoppable doesn't move and prepares his next strike
>attack failed

>orders initiative

rolled 20 = 20

>>11961754

rollan for initiative.

>>11961754
Stab the fucker. Lets see him deaden that. A full on stab. Bonus points if we lift him off the ground.

rolled 8 = 8

use spinning sweep ftw!

this thread better still be up when i get home in half an hour, <3 gladiator manager.

This still on? Or have I missed another Epic quest thread?

Where'd OP disappear to?

>>11961934
Wish I knew. He has twitter, anyone check that?

rolled 17 = 17

Heh. Op fell asleep. I have to run these things earlier I swear.

>voting for stabbing, sweeping
Unstoppable raises his arms above his head and swings the sword around once...twice...three times building up momentum. The dray's eyes are closed and a shimmering phosphorescent force begins to build, building pressure between his mind and the fighter's.

Before the dray opens his eyes to hiss the final command, Unstoppable slams the flat of his blade against the dray's forehead, a blow nearly blocked by the dray's upraised forearm. The dray falls to the sand, spits blood and then the light in its silver eyes wink out. The crowd roars 'Unstoppable! Unstoppable!'

The unconscious form of the dragonblooded is dragged from the arena by two black-clad dray, one emerald, one a jaundiced yellow. They back away bowing in respect as they take their beaten brethren.

>Alright its a decent stopping point here. I'll aim for running another session in 12-14 hrs so I'm up at a reasonable time.

Any questions, leave them here and I'll get to them in the next episode.

I should be doing this more frequently and I'll shoot for Tuesday as well.

>>11962007
this is fun, but we should get more money or make faster progression

Hey, what happened to our Stalwart Slave? Is he the Unskilled Slave? Because I thought we hired him seperately from all them.

Also we have to get the guy with the Hideous Face to act like Judge Fear from Judge Dredd series.

Has this died again? If so, goddamnit.

>>11964085
No, it ended. We'll supposedly get another one later.
