(*cough*[censored] spelling*Cough*)
Goro put his arm on the table, that started to creak ad crack onder it's weight
"Ok man, lets do this." *their hands lock and they struggle back and forth*
((btw your chars are pretty cool, except in my opinion, your MM character, the green on his clothes seems too bright for military, but other than that were cool))
Goro Starts to bring Rai's hand down. "Did you actually belive you could defeat me"
(Yes well too, bad..... Punk. I still have to finish Ryan's)
Agent Immolate (AI) bent closely to examine Podo's injured foot.
She reaches into her robes a pulled out a delicate looking ceramic jar. The jar wasnt extremely large but it certainly would have been noticable stuffed in her fitted robes.
She carefully applies ointment from the jar to the wounded area. It smells faintly of autumn and is cooling as it is rubbed into the skin. Her fingers however are quite warm to the touch as if she where feverish. Next she pulls from her robe some silken bandages and carefully wraps the foot.
Podo sits in amazement as she finishes. His foot feels cool and quite good. Jumping down from his stool he test his weight on it, and there is only a faint memory of any pain there once was.
AI collects her healing kit placing it back into her robes and smiles warmly.
She signals the bartender, and request some wines he never heard of then settles for a local red.

"Five minutes. Five minutes until the next fight begins," announced the announcer. "All fighters, please gather at the main arena gate. You will then be lead down to the sublevels for your entrance."
*******************************
At the large gate that lead down into the Coliseum's many basements, Reikoff's group of Malta sat about, waiting for the rest of the fighters to arrive. With them, but standing off to the side, was Chertak, the Mentalist, and a trio of Guardians. The lower ranked Rikti seemed nervous to be around representatives of the secretive and powerful Malta Group, but Chertak's calm kept them from doing anything rash.
Lazily leaning against the doors was the power suited guard commander. With him were a couple of his squad mates, a Cryo Tank and a Tesla Tank. Also nearby was the Archmage, Andraxus. The mage would not be participating in this fight but he wanted to get a good look at whomever had scared the wits out of one of his brethern. And considering the things most Oranbegans had seen, it must be something spectacular.
OOC: I'll probably keep things slow until Soviet gets back. I've found that he makes a good bad guy.
Statesman said let there be heroes, and there were heroes.
Lord Recluse said let there be villains, and there were villains.
NCsoft said let there be nothing, and there was nothing.
After Rai finished his arm wrestle with Goro, he headed to the man gate to wait for his match to start...
Carlos' phone began ringing, "Hello?" "Hey, good luck, I have Ferra here showing me the fight through that magic stuff." Cold said. "Thanks."
OOC: waiting for other responses to chime in before lineing up at door. There maybe create a ruckuss(SP?) at that time

Arriving in time to see Carlos and his men in prayer, Feliks scoffed quietly and leaned against the wall across from them. He watched them intently. When he finished and looked up, CptCommie spoke.
"So Carlos, we have four minutes to spare. What makes you think your God will protect you? Hold you in higher esteem then everyone else? And more so, allow you to kill those who fight you?"
(OOC: I myself am religious. CptCommie however, is not. While not overtly aggressive about faith, he does find it fascinating people would put so much...well...faith into something that cannot be proven exists.)
Goro headed to the entrance door. Not saying a word to anyone. Knocking a few people over it was and stood infront of the doors. Then he heard, "Hey Goro I didn't know you were here." Goro turned to see an old Ally. "Ryan my good friend what brings you to this place of war." Ryan cut a few places in line to stand next to Goro some one about two feet taller than him. "Nothing much well, besides them paying me I got a hit I have to take care of." Goro nodded in satisfacion, "So, the same as Usual"l
"I believe because it kept me alive when I worked in Paragon City. More so then that, because God kept my mother alive when she was diagnosed with cancer. If that's not reason enough, then I cannot say much more..." Carlos said as he patted his men ont he shoulder.
"Well Carlos, hopefully your God will protect you during the next couple of hours. The last fight was tough, this one should be even worse."
Feliks made the assumption that this man was strong and determined on his own, but had fostered a belief in God his whole life. Feliks dropped the topic, not needing to pursue if further.
"So what brings you to the Coliseum?"
"I need the prize money, my mother is in the hospital again and I have to help pay for the surgery..." Carlos said with a sad tone.
"... and I slit the guys throat." Ryan finished up a story witha bit of a chuckle. "I must say you are good, but tonight we shall see whom is better." Goro countered. "By that of corse you mean me" Ryan quickly came back with. "All in good time." Goro said finishing the conversation. Ryan checked his sword, Akujiki, thirst for blood as ever. Ryan could almost feel the swords hunger, Wait just a little bit Akujiki you'll get all the blood you'll need, Ryan though as he strted to feel the familair pain in his arm. Although it quickly subsided. Goro on the other had the pateints of a saint when he wasn't in bezerker mode.
"Alright people!" shouted the commander as he pushed himself off from the door and took a few steps forward. "Listen up! Things are going to be a bit different this time around."
Looking around at the gathered fighters, the commander detatched a device from his waist and held it out in front of him. Holding it in his palm so that it faced upward, he pressed a switch and a holographic projection of a maze appeared in the air.
"This is your next venue of combat. People around here call it the Cryptic Maze. If you're wondering why they call it that, you're an idiot," the commander snorted and flicked the projector off. "Down these doors behind me is the main sub-level of the Coliseum, leading right underneath the main arena. The goal of this fight will be to reach the center as fast as you can. There are, however, certain rules and safeguards in place. Number one: No smashing through the walls. Two: No teleporting more than ten feet away from your current position. Which means no zipping through the intervening walls and straight to the center. There will be tricks, there will be traps, there will be various droids wandering around inside there. The longer you aren't in a fight, the more likely your chance to run across a patrolling squad of bots. You got all that?"
The commander paused for a moment and then answered himself.
"Don't bother telling me, I don't care. Alright, follow me down."
One of the guards typed in a code into a keypad next to the door and the large doors slowly ground open. Stepping between them as soon as there was room for him, the commander quickly strode down the ramp and into the brightly lit cavern beneath the main arena floor.
Crates and large containers were stacked against the walls and about a dozen or so people moved around performing their jobs. About a dozen or so small open lifts and a couple of larger ones led up onto the arena floor and as the fighters entered a small group of generic looking combat drones were standing around on one of the lifts, waiting to be sent up. At the foot of the ramp, the guard commander turned around and spread his arms wide.
"Ok people, pick your lift. There are large signs with red numbers on them to indicate whether a lift is avaliable to be used for this fight or not. When you've chosen your conveyence, take down the sign and wait. When the lift reaches the top, the match starts. Also, it is generally frowned upon to sabatouge another person or team's lift. Have fun kids!"
Arrayed about the edges of the room were about ten numbered lifts. After the commander had finished talking, the lift with the drones jerked suddenly and then smoothly ascended.
Statesman said let there be heroes, and there were heroes.
Lord Recluse said let there be villains, and there were villains.
NCsoft said let there be nothing, and there was nothing.
((Danke, I am returned.))
Reikoff looked to the ceiling, and then turned to Chertak as his men entered a lift.
He asked, in a quiet, flat monotone:
"Are we in agreement or not?"
Chertak nodded curtly as he and his men walked past the group of Malta to board their own lift.
Statesman said let there be heroes, and there were heroes.
Lord Recluse said let there be villains, and there were villains.
NCsoft said let there be nothing, and there was nothing.
Ryan stared at the commander for a bit, is this the man Ryan thought as he finished his speach. Then Ryan thought about what he was going to do for this then, it dawned on him the commander said nothing about phase shifting through walls, this will be easy. Ryan ran over to lift number 47. Ryan swung his hands back in forth in anticipation.
When Ryan looked around to see Goro took the lift to his right, number 48. "Well, hello friend I hope to see you inside, then we will see who is te better fighter" Ryan challenged Goro. "For your own saftey you better hope you don't run into me" Goro boasted as he adjusted his pants and checked his armor.
Carlos stood looking at who was where. Then, from the corner of his eye, he saw Drone of War walk past. He walked up to the Rikti and Malta on their lift and began speaking. Carlos couldn't hear, but he didn't care too much. Carlos walked over to an empty lift on the side with the rock man and the ninja.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Listen here. I will not hesitate to kill you all. Do not get in my way, or the arena won't have time to mediport your charred remains." Drone said in a monotone voice. There was no anger or malice in his voice, he was just speaking normally. The Malta looked intent on killing him where he stood, something they were fools to believe. As Drones large Assault Bot walked up onto the lift along with it's healing and protecting unit. "Threatening Question: Master, shall I kill them now?" The huge mechanic humanoid asked in a robotic voice, the kind that had no soul, the kind that would kill you and never care. "No. Not yet." Drone said as he turned his back on the Malta and Rikti, ignoring everything that they wanted to say to him.
Podo shook with laughter at Beckys antics and waved as she left, hiccupping violently. Farewell wherever you fare, swordswoman Little Miss Attitude! the goblin shouted after her, spittle flying from his mouth. May your blade strike for the good of all good people!
)
The goblin spun the bar stool around once, accidentally knocking the bottle from the counter. His robotic arm extended and grabbed it before it had a chance to shatter on the ground and replaced it back on the bar, its hydrolics almost sounding like a sigh. Out of the corner of his eye, Podo noticed a beautiful woman speaking to him. Suddenly, as his mind caught up with his brain, he realized she had just offered to heal him.
Many thanks, kind humanoid, I would be in your debt if thou were to fix my foot! he slurred, noticing her pointy ears and otherworldly eyes and guessing she may not be fully human.
((OOC: I just noticed, its kind of funny that Podos foot is hurt, out of any part of his body. Just look up the definition of podo if you dont get it!
