You receive your choice of weapons and armor, as well as a deep drink of water that a pair of slave girls ladle from a barrel.The air is as hot as ever, and as the sun presses up from behind the horizon, the temperature soars into a sweltering hail of sand and despair.You are led out into the arena by Ajax, and positioned randomly around the edges of the coliseum. The stadium floor is occupied entirely by a huge stone pyramid, constructed overnight for the glory of the day's events. The highest step of the pyramid stands even with the highest seats of the stadium.The stands are full. The people of the city have flooded in to watch the second day's events. The announcer, a hunched thri-kreen speak in a booming staccato as he introduces the rules."He who holds the peak wins the game! He who wins the game wins the day! Who, my friends, will hold the peak today? Who will withstand the ire of his fellows when he stands atop the Tyrant's Pyramid?"With that, the crowd roars! The thri-kreen shouts a word, but it is lost to the noise of the crowd's voice. The battle for the Tyrant's Pyramid has begun!Immediately, the Templars scramble up the side, moving as quickly as possible while maintaining a simple phalanx formation.The Raiders follow suit, but with a more animalistic instinct than the highly trained templars. Instead, two rush forward while the other two begin to launch their spears and nets at Thrast's crew.[sblock=Actions this turn]Templars double move.Raiders double move.[/sblock][sblock=Map Information]You all know your identifications.For enemy purposes:T=TemplarA=Adept (Psionic)R=RaiderC=Champion (Thrast's Crew)C1=ThrastWith regards to climbing the pyramid, each different color counts as a level higher on the pyramid.
