Gladiator: Houses Collide

[Chief Pappy]

Festus approached the little Romans in his House and laughed, no one defies the Beast of Carthage and lives.

"Watch yourself little man, or my trident will find you in the worst of places."

[rickinator9]

Amulius wishes to fight in the Arena.

I know I am not in your house, but shame on you. Why are you insulting your betters?

[Chief Pappy]

The only thing you Romans are good at is talking, but pound for pound you falter.

[Ishmael]

I will fight in the arena.

[Darth Feather]

The only thing you Romans are good at is talking, but pound for pound you falter.

Indeed, barbarians are a lot fatter than real Romans.

[Jarema]

I wonder how can veteran gladiator get a lot of money.
Do you have any idea?

For me, I try to blend in and observe the croud for now

Bet on yourself in a match against a Gallus, win miraculously and cash in.

Or (you didn't hear this from me) alternatively, pitch a match against a hoplomachus, throw the match while betting against yourself and cash in.

[Darth Feather]

Woe to you, Lugo, you better start shaking your knees! I just found out a new sword technique you will find quite unstoppable.

[rickinator9]

Tullius, you fight like a barbarian! Your fighting style is something all Romans must shame themselves for!

[Stildawn]

Cicero challenges Mercato

[Ironside]

I will fight in the arena

Tullius, you fight like a barbarian! Your fighting style is something all Romans must shame themselves for!

Over compensating for something else?

Offer yourself to Avidius as a made-servant. The job should pay a half denari.

Decimus challenges Agron

Wager: 5d on Chief Pappy

Was there no write-up? Those get me in the gladiator mood

[Stildawn]

Wager 10d on Chief Pappy

[Darth Feather]

I am not (yet) wagering, as it would not be a wager because the result of the match against Lugo is as good as guaranteed.

[LazyMcCrow]

Valentinus will save his money for now. Whether he defeats Ashur of House Lucilius or not - his faith shall not waver, and no matter whether the fates should gift him the victors purse - valuable lessons will undoubtedly be learned from the enemy Gallus.

[rickinator9]

I won't wage any money. I am too humble to wage money on myself and I certainly won't wage money on these 'men' who fight like wenches and barbarians. I better save some money for events that demand it.

[Chief Pappy]

Wager 10d on Chief Pappy

How are you wagering 10d when the winnings from our last matches was only 5d?

[LazyMcCrow]

How are you wagering 10d when the winnings from our last matches was only 5d?

I'd check my purse if I were you :) *Valentinus hurriedly checks own purse*

[Darth Feather]

How are you wagering 10d when the winnings from our last matches was only 5d?

Maybe he did a job or two, or he borrowed some money from someone .

[Stildawn]

Winning against a veteran gives 10.

[Darth Feather]

Winning against a veteran gives 10.

I misunderstood the rules. I thought winning AS a veteran gave 10d.

[Zain]

Check your character card @Stildawn winning as a Novicius rewards you 5d.

[Darth Feather]

He can borrow my five. Two denarii standard interest +1 per phase repaid too late :)

Actually, any Roman from my house can borrow my money against this interest rate.

[LazyMcCrow]

Hey. Happy new year! For some reason connected with his many Gods, Valentinus spends whatever 5ds worth of booze equals, through his loyal servant - (whoever that is - please PM :) - Valentinus then shares the booze with his House compatriots once the next Arena battles have been fought. Whether in defeat or in Victory - the light of Belenos will guide us!
