Round 1:
Ja'Cart strides out into the arena again, but for the first time. The sun glints brightly off the new glossy black portions of his carapace, and is reflected in waves off of his roiling, slimy tentacles on his back. His vicious, over-sized mandibles work with excitement as the throng of slaves is prodded out onto the edges of the arena, several deep on all sides. Other-worldly spirals of sickly blue, Far Realm energy emerge and spin over the entire surface of his hide, that match the glow of his eagerly pivoting, multi-faceted eyes.
Weapons held in inexperienced hands, quivering in fear. Those nearest the abberant thri-kreen seem to be trying to shift position subtly away. The sheer terror in their eyes is plain to see. He points with all his sets of razor-sharp claws into the rows of victims.
"You should all count yourselves blessed this day! To die by the claws of Ja'Cart in battle, will earn you a seat of glory in whatever existence you believe comes after this one!"
He moves like lightning before leaping with a spinning corkscrew of blurring claws through the front line. He lands surrounded by the cowering dead, his claws and tentacles lancing out of all directions as if a squad of attackers had laid into the section of slaves. There is literally an explosion of body parts and blood, expanding outward from the space where the monk lands.
When the cloud of blood and limbs begins to settle into the sand, a single slave is still standing in shock, he stares in terror at the stump of his burly arm. Ja'Cart spins deftly, launching the slave's scruffy head deep into the crowd with a swipe of a blood-blackened claw.
"Step right up! Maybe you can overwhelm me with shear numbers in a rush."
