The more victory point accumulated the better the reactions the group will have AFTER the fight. So it could open up some story lines: 10 Victory points and you get a Triumph through the city and the doors of power open easily. Some things off the top of my head:- The tiger traps from the gladiator movie; a chained hungry tiger in a pit  with a trap door, they lunge out when anyone comes close (or gets pushed into range!).- Rain of stuff; Spectators start throwing stuff and booing, this is a random hazzard.- Have a table of random things that happen - a thunder storm could make the place a muddy hell.- I love terrain powers and this is a the perfect place to use them; chains, wooden palisades, spikes, pits, superior weapons attached to walls, ooh nets tridents and bolas (you could snag some of the multiclass bolas/net powers and turn them in terrain powers for this encounter). - Dragonborn Archers on Elephants or Rhinos, or on chariots with bladed wheels.- A herd of Giraffe (I believe this did happen in ancient Rome)- Maybe snag the weapon breakage rules from Dark Sun.Lol okay, I just realised went slightly outside the mandate in the OP. Sorry for the brain dump....</blockquote>
