[QUOTE="tglassy, post: 7062406, member: 6855204"] It has been a day since Round 1. Colden skewered the poor gnome, and poor Chomley seems to have died from a blood vessel bursting in his brain, unexpectedly. Either way, it means the little girl, Alpha, will be forced to go up against another brutal fighter. The Game Master of Small Town looks over the profiles of each gladiator, studying them. He would have to take one of them with him to the Regional Games in the far off city of Big Town. He rolled his eyes once more at the idiocy of the naming scheme the current Emperor of the Realm had come up with. The man was an idiot. But he was the Emperor, so who was the Game Master to argue? When it was time, the Game Master simply arched a finger, and warped to his pedistal above the arena. The crowds had come once more, and they were a little larger than they were the day before. The one battle, with the strange little girl, was uneventful. So much so, the Game Master had wondered if it had even given enough entertainment to be called a battle. He had worried that some of the patrons would want more. But no, they were satisfied that someone had died and they had free ale and bread. The other fight had been a little more entertaining. Time would tell if this one proved a match. He looked over the field, which was slightly altered from the day before. The lowest tier battles always favored those who preferred ranged weaponry rather than close combat (though Colden had proven the exception with that). It was flat, open, and the gladiators far apart. Now, there were large divot in the ground, creating spaces for characters to find cover to hide from their opponent. [ATTACH=CONFIG]82705._xfImport[/ATTACH] Each groove is dug into the earth and the excess dirt is piled towards the middle of the arena to create a small wall, perhaps two and a half to three feet tall, with the two grooves in the middle simply being ditches that drop three feet down. They do not provide much cover, but some cover can, at times, be enough to change the outcome of a fight. The Game Master looked at the sky and judged it was time to get this show going. He stood, and the crowd became silent as his voice once more boomed over the area, introducing the two combatants once more. [ooc]Each square is five feet. I'm experimenting with using maps like this, so bare with me as I get the hang of it. Alpha is on the A to the right, Corden is on the C to the left. Normal movement rules apply.
