Re: The Battle Begins
"Gaz, follow Pavek!" Balderac moves to mirror the larger Pavek, keeping the formation of the group in tact. "Don't over extend, stick together. Take out the small groups first." He doesn't attack yet from his location, watching the Elves north of him to make sure he puts up a defense against them.

Re: The Battle Begins
'Gaz' is happy to do so, following along with Pavek, and immediately sprouting a form of mental, innate, energy to protect himself. His claws are at the ready, wanting to swat out at the nearest enemy for the simple self-survival it shall provide.

Re: The Battle Begins
The former gladiator strides over to the nearby pair of muls. The two are not nearly as bad off as their attacker; clearly they have some fighting experience and have managed to hold their own in the fight thus far. But that was before they ran into a half-giant.
Pavek stops several feet away from the pair and makes a mighty swing at the closer of the two muls. His target tries to dodge away, but is caught in the side of the head by a fist nearly as big as Baako. He reels from the blow and is only barely able to keep his feet.

Re: The Battle Begins
With his Inertial Armor already brought to bear, Gazziija moves along with Pavek. After the half-giant has pummeled one of the muls, Gazziija attempts to do the same, and strike. It is a good thing is already knows how to use his claws, and is not as clumsy as some that cannot use their own arms and legs for battle. He sweeps his claw at the same creature Pavek hit, hoping to down him quickly.

Baako roars loudly as he charges the wounded mul. The feral savage, smelling wounded prey, then rushes towards the staggering mul.

Re: The Battle Begins
Balderac remains in formation but doesn't attack, he is watching the northern set of elves, keeping sure to alert the others and defend the group's flank if they get attacked from that side.

E = elf D = dwarf H = human h = half-elf M = Mul
Immediately the remaining mul facing your group draws away from you. Horth takes a swipe at his retreating form, but the mul ducks beneath the blow. Desperately he calls to the group of nearby dwarves and makes an offer of assistance. Having lost two of their original number, the dwarves agree, and allow him to join their formation. Alliances are made quickly during this fight.
Now it's time for the half-giant and his companion to fight back. And fight back they do. The half-giant brings his fist down on the mul's head, crushing him into the ground, and deep into unconsciousness. The mul at his side follows suit with a powerful blow to the sternum of one of the humans. Clearly these are a pair that are not to be messed with.
A mixed group then rushes the pack of elves, hoping to weaken them enough and take their protected position near the edge of the circle. They seem stronger and healthier than many of the slaves in the circle. But their skill doesn't match up. A few feeble blows are struck, and the elves seem unimpressed.
The elven counterstrike is immediate and equally weak. A few blows strike home, but more miss their target. Fatigue is clearly taking its toll on both these groups.
The remaining pair is torn. Wisdom says stay put and let other people fight. But would that anger the templars? It wasn't worth the risk. The two have a brief conversation and then charge towards the scrum with the elves. Squeezing the others between them seemed to be their best hope. And with luck, the fight would be over before the elves could finish them off. Their attack catches the group attacking the elves by surprise, injuring one and nearly knocking another off his feet.
Finally the last two groups move into action. The dwarves, along with their new mul ally, find themselves in an unenviable position. Somehow all three groups in sight have a half-giant among them. They move swiftly towards the far group, looking to take down the lone elf before the half-giant can react.
They move quickly, and two land blows. But the elf manages to stay on his feet, if barely. The mul, who had recently faced you, follows behind, still working to get his bearings.
Then the final group acts. The elf makes a wild swing with his hand, but it does no good. The three dwarves, however, seem somewhat taken aback by it. The half-giant doesn't move position, but strikes over the elf's head at one dwarf. As he does so, the human moves forward and strikes at the chest of the same dwarf, who crumples at force of the double attack.
And now, with twenty-eight combatants remaining in your quadrant, Gazziija once more has the opportunity to act.

Re: Slave Pit Battle - Round 2
Balderac shouts out, "Avoid the giants, they will be the death of us with that reach of theirs." He looks around, "The elves seem pretty scrawny." He points back to the north the way the group just came from. [E1c]
