It shakes the big one, genuinely worried for its packmate's safety.Finally, the official's voice booms through the coliseum."The match is over! A perfect victory. All applaud the contenders who put down the ssurans with such disdain!"The crowd roars for you. You have achieved a rare honor - a feat known as the perfect victory, in which one side remains totally untouched for the entirety of the fight. A shower of applause rains down upon you, and the love of the people feels as cool as the legends say rain feels.You are given a moment to bask in the applause.[sblock=ooc]You can tell us how your character reacts, if you like.See: "Are you not entertained?!"[/sblock]Eventually, you are herded back to the fighters' quarters and disarmed by Ajax, the mul quartermaster. He returns your weapons to the armament room, and you are ushered into the winners' hall, where the victors of the day's battles are given decent food and drink.In the room, you see the other teams from today's festivities:[sblock=People in the room]- A group of raiders from the Ivory Triangle (mostly made up of muls and elves)- A squad of humans in Tyrian templar armor- A group of four robed psionicists huddled around an obsidian crystal on a side table- A huge, bulky figure - the dwarf known as Thrast, a highly decorated arena fighter who has cheated death more times than any living man can count. Thrast is accompanied by his elite squad of gladiators, all seasoned fighters, including Kesh Dunestrider (an elven raider), Yot (a human female), and Harrow I'tep (Thrast's brother and second)[/sblock]The food is hot, the wine is sweet, and the air is filled with the scent of victors' sweat.</blockquote>
