You occasionally take a glimpse at the action. You enjoy the sport very much. You always say to yourself "One day, I'll be one of them".\n\nSo the day came where you decided to leave your work to see your master. He greeted you and you greeted him. "What do you need my friend?" he said and you reply quaking with fear "I've come to ask for leave" "Why?" as he continues the conversation, "I want to become a gladiator" you say proudly He laughs hysterically then stops and says "Well I advise you not to, but if it's what you want..." He then calls his guards to get you transported to the Gladiator Training Facility\n\n[[Facillity]]\n\n

You jam your sword into his rusty golden armour. Clutching at his stomach he falls to his knees. And then finally onto his front where he slowly fades into the darkness.\n\n5 Gladiators have been eliminated so far.
