Session 9: To Be ~~Eliminated~~ Exteriminated
I was attacked by several hired thugs and assassins. It appears someone wants me to no longer compete in the Ring of Triumph. More than that. My long, winning record is making someone angry enough to apparently have me permanently laid to rest. The first attack came on my way home one evening. The next in the locker room of the arena, early the next morning, as I was donning my gear to begin my early morning practice routine. The fourth followed immediately as I chased a man down that had fled after hearing the results of his comrades in the locker room. A guard almost believed that I had murdered someone in cold-blood. He would have, too, had an assassin not struck at me from an unseen space while I was directly in front of, and conversing with, the guard... The guard aided in downing the assassin, then worked on getting me to a safe place while this all gets sorted out.

Solo Session 8: Vaz'rig and Zes
Vaz'rig Maplemangle, a young and upcoming centaur fighter, much like me, attempted to skip ahead in the leagues by defeating me. It was a long, brutal fight, for Vaz'rig immediately challenged me after his first defeat. The final score of their two matches was Aggoneus 9, Vaz'rig 1.
Zes Springfighter, a female centaur warrior, was my next target. I placed the challenge stone at her feet after a few-day's recovery and we met in the Ring of Triumph. I won 4:0, but it was a hard fought victory.

Session 7: Downing Teldurath Hillleaf
I threw my challenge stone at the hooves of Teldurath Hillleaf, a centaur warrior in a league above me. The fight was long, intense, and quite the spectacle to watch. After losing the first two rounds of the match, Teldurath responded with swift brutality, his defenses indomitable in the third round. He quickly broke my own and landed a winning blow.
After steeling myself, I managed to best him in the final two rounds, turning a lot of heads. Few people climb the ranks as quickly as this.

Session 6: Ghiv the Satyr
Ghiv the Satyr was the ranked combatant above me. Since Pyxathor's defeat, I hadn't received any challenge stones, so I decided to give one of my own. The satyr scoffed at the challenge, but accepted. Little did he know that I was as fierce in the arena as the rumors said. Despite Ghiv's tricks and tactics, I was able to counter his maneuvers and quickly end the fight.

Session 5: Pyxathor of the Longear
Pyxathor of the Longear, a leonin, challenged me for my spot in the rankings. She was hot-headed and it showed in her desperate efforts to cheat me down, which was all for naught, as she lost all four fights. I anchored himself deeper into my rank with such a flat-out victory. It might be a week or two before someone tosses a challenge stone at my hooves again.

Session 4: Togra'thu
I went through another round of the Ring of Triumph to make up for my recent defeat. After four consecutive wins, I'm set up to face Togra'thu again.

Session 3: Defeat in the Trial
I hopped in the Ring of Triumph in hopes of earning enough renown to accompany Thoglut's adventurer's off the island. Today's target was Togra'thu. Unfortunately, I suffered my first defeat at the hands of a fatigued combatant and two hopefuls. I will forever claim it was a 'lucky few shots.' This defeat dropped me a few ranks in the standings, but I'm certainly still in the runnings with my current record.

Session 2: Earning Respect
I entered the Combat Arena once more to uphold my undefeated record. I did so successfully, despite consistently being outnumbered by the other hopefuls. It appears I've started making a name for myself! They all know who I am and have resorted to ganging up on me and settling things out amidst themselves after I was defeated. Only... I was never defeated.

Session 1: Training and Hunting
I was put through the ringer in the training arena today; 8 opponents without a rest. Tomorrow, to recover, I think I'll go hunting...
The next day.
Today I went on a hunt, where I had some interesting encounters with local wildlife I hadn't seen before. I wound up in the mountains and was attacked by a little white creature that looked like an icicle. When I asked around in Thas'ru, someone dubbed it an ice mephit, a little mischievous elemental creature... The day didn't wind up being much different than my trainings, not a relaxing hunt at all.

Session 0: A Hopeful in the Ring of Triumph
I joined the Ring of Triumph, a famous Thas'ruvian sporting competition. As an up-and-coming combatant and athlete, I am to prove my worth by fighting waves of other hopefuls and earning the right to duel ranked warriors. Over the course of two days, I defeated my first two ranked opponents, Zalrus and Jel'duth Icestare. I've set the goal to prove myself worthy to attract the attention of the prestigious centaur adventurers, The Ridgescorns, to have a shot at exploring the world outside Laurelglow, and maybe even the world beyond Thetwick Isle.
