"Attention, attention. The Meeting Place and Reynard Reynolds, owner of Caged Concrete Entertainment, proudly bring to you, the audience and potential participants, the one, the only, steel cage championship. Come one, come all and join in the excitement. Men, women, young and old, all able-bodied citizens are invited to sign up to test their mettle against one another. For a mere $50 sign up fee, you could win $500 and the glory and honor that comes along with being crowned a Caged Concrete special event champion!"
The commercial with the tall, well dressed man standing in front of the backdrop of a solid steel cage with chain-link fence walls then shifts away, showing the address of the location for The Meeting Place, and a 1-800 number for would-be entries. Energetic music plays in the background before the commercial goes back to Mr. Reynolds.
"Are you up to the challenge?"
And then the screen goes blank, proceeding to the next advertisement.
No Holds Barred Gladiatorial Combat
The Cage stands twelve feet of chain-link fencing braced by steel tubing. The floor is covered in an unforgiving solid rubber mat. Twenty by twenty feet on either side, the enclosure is roofed in with yet more chain-link. A single door is on the outward wall, closed with a piece of chain and a padlock.
A first-aid staff is stationed nearby, and two stretchers are positioned close as well. Steel railings have been set up to keep a single, stretcher-width pathway open from the cage area to the street beyond.
Rules of the Cage
- Weapons are forbidden, only the body or the cage may be used to strike an opponent.
- All strikes are legal and valid.
- Cage may be used as a weapon by throwing opponent into it. (For this reason, this sort of fight tends to be quite bloody.)
- Cage may be used for leverage in combat, or climbed for aerial tactics (drop-kicks, flying elbows, etc...)
- Tap-Out: One opponent slaps the floor repeatedly as a declaration of submission, often due to application of a submission manuever (choke-hold, twisting of a joint, etc...). Merely stating that one gives up will not suffice, the floor must be tapped in the appropriate manner.
- Referee may stop the fight as if a tap-out had occured should a competitor appear injured enough that he would be risking his life or health to continue on with the fight.
- Referee may pause the fight if a knock-out has occured to verify the condition, or if there is a concern of excessive blood-loss (adjudicated on a case-by-case basis, generally if the competitor appears to be getting dizzy or the player is continuously drawing attention to the blood-loss.).
- Failing to obey the instructions of the referee in terms of stopping a match will result in disqualification and/or charges with the local law enforcement agencies for aggravated assault and breach of contract.
- Fighters will undergo their bout for 10-15 minutes, at which time the Referee will roll 1d100, messaging the result to himself, the two combatants, and the attending WizO.
