Who do you plan to come back as, after your first character gets killed?

Still sour about how I publicly revealed you to everybody ?

Midday, Day 10

As the tenth day reached its apex, no one expected anything out of the ordinary. It was yet another day, just building up for the evening fight, nothing special. The Lizardman showed no emotions as he quickly made his way towards the isolation section, but the Luridus took his fair time. Still obviously weak from his recent close run with death at the hands of the Prior, he had to use his staff to support him as he slowly followed his reptilian opponent. Halfway across the field he suddenly stopped as if to catch his breath, to the dismay of the officials that were eager to go get some lunch. The Luridus would not be rushed though.

"There is something I need to first. Bear with me."

The Priest bowed his head, grasped his staff with both hands, and started humming. The bronze sun symbol at the tip of his staff started glowing, to rival the light of his patron above, the holy light of Lugus channelled by the will of the Luridus. With a brilliant flash the bronze sun lit up the entire arena, before focusing all its light in a single direction. The Ogre had to shield his eyes with his massive arm as the rays hit him full force, but he could not shield what came next. Above the head of the tall brute, clearly visible to all by virtue of the holy light, was a spinning emblem of a gold coin engraved with a V. Suddenly this midday didn't seem so ordinary after all.

The Ogre is a Mark!

The light abated, and the Luridus smiled, before turning to follow the officials into isolation, leaving the Ogre to face the stares of the entire Theatre.

On the voting side, three contestants practically shared the first place, having three votes each. All the Paladin's votes came from team leaders giving him the top position. The officials had to dig long and hard in Perpentach's convoluted rules, but finally announced that the Shaman edged out the Frost Speaker due to having received a team leader vote before the Frost Speaker did. On the betting side there was little to add, except that Perpentach would surely not be pleased if matters persisted.

I am the Luridus, Winston the Ogre. His team ravaged mine the entire game (seriously, I think we were in a fight every round including once between two team members) and when I died the first time, as the raider, one of my teammates had to drop out for RL reasons and I took over his role, gaining the ability which eventually revealed Winston.
