Session 02
General Summary
A team name is chosen - Nex Pervenio - which, translated into the crude tongue of Albion, means
Death's Reach.
The contest continues. The Ensigns, a similarly new gladiator team are the next opponents. As
extra motivation, the result of this match will dictate the next day's duty which involves
replenishing the gladiator school's stable of fearsome beasts. The winners will get to hunt a lion,
the losers will be sent for a crocodile. As a practice match, this fight is not to the death.
The match begins. Nex Pervenio are slow off the mark, still trying to figure out what skills and
abilities their opponents might have. The Ensigns stream out of their starter area and spread out
and begin peppering their foes with missile weapons. Nex Pervenio move ahead up the left,
aiming to take out Ezri, who appears to be some kind of spellcaster. He unleashes a powerful blast
of arcane energy, severely wounding and knocking his opponents prone. Meanwhile Argus has yet
to enter the fray. The Ensigns continue their withering hail of missiles. Things look bad for Nex
Pervenio as Varro and Nemesis drop, though Wesley of the Ensigns also drops. Mika dashes to
Varro to administer a potion which then lets Varro unleash some powerful healing magic. Though
almost immediately, Varro and Nemesis are dropped again. Shinobi unleashes his most powerful
attack and takes out Nog. Ezra also drops at this time. The fight is hanging in the balance. Mika
gives yet another potion to Varro who once again produces a phenomenal amount of healing.
Travis drops which leaves only Pavel the archer left and he is easily swarmed. Nex Pervenio end
up victorious though it was hard fought.
The winners receive a pouch of gold coins and a trip to sunny rolling countryside rather than
stinky sewers.
It is the final part of the contest. Nex Pervenio must now take on the Primitives, an established
although junior gladiator team. This arena has two starter areas and both teams are forced to
divide their forces.
The match begins. Nemesis and Shinobi streak forward in unison and select their prey - Julagkh -
focusing on him mercilessly. The others advance in support. Suddenly, great bursts of flame erupt
from the arena floor though only Argus is stood in a bad spot. Julagkh is unable to escape from
melee and drops but meanwhile Mika is focussed on by the Primitives and drops. Shinobi again
pulls off a big flashy manouevre and takes out Rutu. Varro without fuss saves Mika. The
Primitives are suffering, nothing they try is working and they are soon defeated.
The winners receive a Boar's Charge Totem as a reward.
Nex Pervenio have survived and succeeded in their introductory trial. They can now call
themselves a gladiator team. They are invited to the Moribundus Minotaur inn for drinks that
evening, many of the gladiators frequent it.
