Blood on the Sands **NEW** Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears...

"Yes, Master Falhurst, I'm aware a good thonging is in order..."

 

[Furt]

Never heard of a good 'thonging' before!
 

I will thong you...

     

Now STOP it!!

A couple of photos from our last game.

 Nisus the Retiarius makes short work of Engle the unpopular, now known as Engle the Bearable after he entertained the crowd and was granted Missio. He survived extensive wounds to fight again.

A very very great game, i have a few gladiators, that they want fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Furt]

Engle the Bearable, looks quite promising in that action shot, lunging for Nisus' pancreas! His play sheet tells another story although - ouch 

I told you that retiarius looked dangerous Nick. 

Was Nisus rather standard or did he have some exceptional attributes? The crowd certainly loved him!

Standard, all threes.

Played again today and the Retiarius was beaten by the Secutors, so it like they do balance out ok.

Excellent stuff! 

Score a really good hit on those "net pansies" and they are as good as gone.

Now STOP it!!

Sorry, Furt.
I shall be a good boy now.
 

I just have to say that these rules of yours along with all the lovely piccies etc have broken my resolve and I am eyeing up the pile of Gladioli on my table working out just who is getting a lick of paint first.....even those slaves that have been claimed by the other Lanista in these parts....
 

I should be thinking about plastering, painting and papering walls,not 40mm Gladiators, but where is the fun in that?

Do it. Get some painted ready for the slaughter on Thursday.

Such trivial things can wait Mason! Do you want your poor ludus to fall far into the shadow of the illustrious houses of Malamutius Calvus and Medicus Mortem, or even the infamous house of Bibbles the Flos?  

Forget renovating man - where is your Dignitas? Get painting!!

I would love to, mate.
No idea how I would fit it in.....

It is not my Dignitas that I am worried about if I start painting Gladioli...

I see an opportunity for a win-win here...how does your wife feeling about redoing your walls with beautiful tiled frescos or gladiatorial combat?

Best see to that then - eunuchs have no place running a ludus.

Now that is an idea. What a games room that will make...

Well he's been at it again - the amazing Dr Mathias.

I can't say much more than     

Thank you Matt!
