Valentinus requests to fight in the Arena
Valentinus challenge Sextus (Jarema) (also previous request to arena fight still active if possible)
You better get ready, gallic scum Ambustus. I sent a message to one of my former acquaintances, who is an augur. He stated: the eagle is soaring high from the north. This clearly is a sign the Roman under us will win. Or do your non-existent gods tell you something else?

Spoken like a true Novicius! Foolish talk cometh from those who rush quickly into battle with one of the superior houses! It is not from cowardice that I speak, but from ambition. If the two of you go to battle, surely one of you will die - most likely, Ambustus (Ishmael). You are no match for my house brother, Tullius (Darth Feather). Yea, a time is coming when Avidius and Lucilius will collide. And I welcome it! But today, we must increase in stature - far above novicius before we enter into thoughtless dissension.
This is my Signature. Just imagine it being a mind blowing axiom.
Valentinus, to challenge your own house brother to possible death is the kind of attitude that will cause your house to fall! I ask for latitude from my own brothers as I point this out about your house, but with matches such as this, surly Avidius can not stand!

Requests to fight in the Arena in an exhibition match
This is my Signature. Just imagine it being a mind blowing axiom.
I, Optimus, challenge: Lugo to a friendly match to better us both, and to see if his superior experience and skill can best my strength and fighting style. There can be no doubt that we will both grow as warriors and men.

Cicero Challenges: Aulus
Write-up 1
House of Avidius
"The House of Avidius swells with new blood for the sands." Doctore Titanius commented, greeting his Dominus.
Hadrianus Marianus Avidius, a man of arrogance and pride, responded with a smile on his face, "To be spilled by none other than Lucilius' men, no doubt."
The two walked together, viewing the stock, "Do any show potential?" Dominus inquired.
Doctore sighed, "Most are mediocre at best, soft from lack of sword or whip."
Dominus eyed a tall lean man wielding a net, "What of that one?" Doctore glanced over, "Festus is his name, training as a Retarius. He shows potential, but none to rival our Champion."
Dominus laughed, "None in this House could stand an equal to Terentius! Save for yourself of course, a past Champion who's brought much glory to this ludus."
Doctore bowed his head, "Dominus."
Avidius strolled a bit more, his bright robe the only sign of color in the yard, "What of that one?" He pointed to a tall man, not quite the stature of Festus, wielding a sword and shield. "We call him Valentinus but he insists on calling himself "Getinbetarix" and commonly mentions the forest from whence he came and his Gods."
Dominus laughed even harder, "Slave needs to forget his past, he is who we say he is now. This is his home."
House of Lucilius
"He said what!?" Dominus Livianus Septimius Lucilius yelled, slamming his fist down on the table at which he sat.
His wife Livia, standing next to him, spoke boldly, "No slave shall deny his dominus, not without punishment!"
Doctore Ovidius bowed his head, "What would you have me do, Dominus?"
Lucilius stood up and walked around the desk, indirectly speaking to his Doctore, "I command respect and honor from my gladiators..." He looked Ovidius in the eye, "Go open his eyes."
Doctore bowed quickly, "Yes Dominus!" and left the room. He walked quickly, down the staircase and to the left, through the courtyard, then down two stories to the cells where the new slaves were kept who had yet to receive the mark.
He approached the guard at the door, "Orders of the Dominus, open cell."
The guard hesitated, then opened the gate where the five were. Doctore reached in and grabbed Decimus, the thinner man training to be a Retarius, and threw him onto the ground of the training area.
"Doctore..." Decimus began, but Ovidius denied him speech by a kick in the face. He bent down and landed a few solid punches to the nose and eye of the man, leaving him bleeding and cowering. "Dominus demands your cooperation, or die a faceless slave! There will be no "peace", there will be no "friendship" with Avidius' men. There will only be glory and honor in the Arena!" Doctore landed one more kick to finish the job. He looked at the guard and pointed to the bleeding man, "See him to the medicus..."

OOC: Man, with this kind of Write-Up's I love this game even more (get's me in a Roman mood).

I do not think it wise to challenge members of our own House, we might as well kill ourselves and let Lucilius have our splendor.

Doctore and brothers of Lucilius, I have NO allegiance to Avidius! Do not let the gross misinterpretation of my words be measuring stick of my loyalty. Dominus chose to make an example of me - which I wholeheartedly except. But this shall not change my plan, for I will bring victory and bounty to the House of Lucilius!

It is not my intent, but sometimes death is unavoidable.

My stature dwarfs you in my mind, slave I have heard of the way you "train" at Avidius. One of your partners, I mean brothers, has already "shared":

Challenge: Aulus
He is not worthy of the Veteranus rank.
Zain, when and how can we dialog with the loyal servant?

Having spent a little time wrestling (with those of his House who were willing to grapple the Gaulish giant), Valentinus found himself mildly fatigued and certainly no richer for the experience: Yet his overall humours had improved. The Gods had clearly chosen him a path on which a warriors skills might surely be improved. Valentinus lay back and fell into a deep and restful sleep: His dreams hidden - buried beneath exhaustion - were troubled, only slightly, by visions of finding himself in the arena, armed with naught but a copper-haired young beauty and spinning in some kind of dance with the carefree abandon only achieved by those who have never suffered the defeat and bondage, that a victorious Rome inflicts upon its foes.
"I wish to Request to fight in the Arena for Glory and Valour."

rickinator9 is either a cleverly "hidden in plain sight by jumping on the random bandwagon" scum or the ever-increasing in popularity "What the is going on?" townie. Either way I want to lynch him. - White Eyes
How literate were Romans? Or their servants?
Literate enough to read scrolls on battles/techniques lol.
