(YBA) Drax in Wicht's Lair (continued)

Wicht

Hero
Drax has found his way to the City of the Bard, an underground city of cut-throats, fighters and crazed cultists. Having explored the city a bit, Drax has ended up fighting in a bar as entertainment. He has recently bested one man, Gergo, and now sits awaiting another fight.

The hours pass slowly and finally the owner of the bar approaches Drax's table once more.

"We have found a suitable fighter," says the owner, "and have been making a few announcements. I think you will find this quite a challenge. He should be here any minute... Raith is his name. If you want, you can await for him in the ring before the crowd gets too big."

Drax notices that indeed there are quite a few newcomers entering the establishment, looking eager and jovial.

"Might as well do that."
Drax straps the weapons he has accumulated so that they're easily available and then hands his backpack to the owner.
"Hold this 'till I win, will'ya?"

He climbs to the ring and starts going through some light exercises as he waits.
 

As Drax prepares himself, there is suddenly applause and cheering towards the front of the room. An immense ogre enters, carrying a large club. He seems to be very popular. More people enter in behind him to watch this fight.
 

Looks... good. Drax thinks to himself.
He goes to the middle of the arena, standing in a prepared stance but with his weapons still seathed.
 

The ogre strides to the crude ring and steps easily into it. The crowd begins chanting a name, "Torgo, Torgo, Torgo!!!" Drax certainly seems to be the perceived underdog in this fight. Drax also notices that bets are already changing hands.

"I'll make it quick," the ogre grunts to Drax softly with a grin.

"Gentlemen, have at it!" calls out the owner of the establishment. The ogre grins and swings his club at Drax in a slow but powerful sweep.
