When the guards arrived for the next group doomed to fight for the amusement of an insane monster, there was a little more in the way of a struggle, but tiny, warning beeps from the collars kept them from breaking into full revolt.
Even so, it was hard to walk into the arena knowing that one of them would die, perhaps more. Hard to not size up the rest of the group, trying to pick out weakness. Hard to remind themselves that the King's minions were the true enemy. Suspicious glances were traded as they were grouped before the twisted form of the King. As before, he raised his hand and let it drop, signaling the beginning of the battle.
Nervously gripping weapons and cursing their inability to rely on something a little less makeshift, the group watched as two of the Shadow Beasts leapt out, snarling and eager to attack. Behind them trailed two of the Guards armed with shining swords.
----------------------------
OOC Rules
Prisoners will not be able to summon magic or weapons while in the arena. Unless they want to be exploded. To defeat the King's monsters, use the following dice rolls with each post to calculate damage:
Basic Senshi/Pages/Lieutenants: roll TWO d6.
Super Senshi/Squires/Captains: roll THREE d6.
Eternal Senshi/Knights/Generals: roll FOUR d6.
Automatonic Guards: Automatically do 5 damage per turn (be sure to coordinate with your battlemates to avoid confusion)
Shadow Beasts: Automatically do 20 damage every three turns (again, be sure to coordinate with your battlemates)
HP Pools Please note that for the Gladiator bouts, these pools will not change
Basic Senshi/Pages/Lieutenants = 50
Super Senshi/Squires/Captains = 75
Eternal Senshi/Knights/Generals = 100
Automatonic Guards = 80
Shadow Beasts = 125
Remember to put your own HP pool, any damage taken and who you are attacking for what damage at the top of each post in BOLD)
”Example” Sailor Abluhabluh: 50HP - 5 damage = 45 / Attacking Guard for WHOOPS I MISSED
You are allowed to attack each other! Just remember that while you’re doing that, a Shadow Beast may be taking a chunk out of your a**.

Super Sailor Aegir: 70 / 75
Damage: 10
Target: Shadow Beast AWhen the guards came for him, Aegir was ready - as ready as he’d ever be, rather - and he went with his head high, expression stoic. He had watched friends fighting valiantly against the automatons and the shadow beasts for the Mad King’s amusement, he’d watched captives wounded. He’d even watched others dying horribly. The tortured cries already haunted his dreams even more than his memories of Schörl did, but he did his best to not dwell. It wasn’t conducive to survival and that was his main concern. Aegir and his friends, his allies…they had to survive. Being relegated to watching Ida and the others fighting had been hard. It was only the second day and now it was his turn. Not being familiar with weapons, but also not willing to let go of something that might help him survive, Aegir gripped a blunt-edged club with both hands and shifted so he was standing near the single being in his group he knew: Chariklo. “You have any ideas, I’m all ears.” There were two of the hardy shadow creatures and two of the shiny automatons, four in total…would they manage? Please God, just let me get through this. Let me live to see another day, let me protect my friends and loved ones…and if today is the day I die, let my death mean something— One of the shadow beasts lunged at him, teeth flashing and he brought his club down upon it’s head sharply. The creature yelped and backed away, looking for easier ‘prey’ than the golden-haired super senshi. “I say we tag team the beasts, they’re hardier than the tin cans.” One of which swiped at his middle, only to be blocked before it could gut him; instead he got a long thin slice down his torso that started oozing pinpoints of blood. “Tch, they’re tricky as hell. Watch it.” Maybe the Negaverser that had been so calm would be a good ‘ally’ in this fight? He seemed strong enough…and there was the Dark Mirror Super, too. The 'weakest' among them was the Page who's name he didn't know. Hopefully they'd make it - he'd try to help make that happen, but with how dangerous things were...there was no way of knowing. DaisyMilk Aegir is glad Chari is there okay. (feel free to address sunshine guys)

There was no escaping their fate, not with the collars they wore anyway, so he hadn't fought. There wasn't much he could do anyway against the guards which walked them out, they could easily throw him over their shoulder like a sack of potatoes and he knew it. So he walked out with his held high even though he knew he'd be having to see that spider again...perhaps. he could keep turned away as he walked out, showing his back to the king, even if it might anger him more. He knew he would be utterly useless if he was facing the spider like monstrosity and he couldn't be useless in this arena. He needed to help the others and lead.
A slow, deep, breath was taken as he would out and turned his back to where the main stands were, to where the leader of this insanity was, and started to speak for the others to hear. "I say we work together and take the beasts out one at a time. Then we can separate into two groups and handle the tin cans. If we want to all walk out of this we work together to do so. Right now our factions should mean nothing." He stated while glancing toward the others, whilst trying to keep his gaze away from the spider like king.
He himself had a small knife, dull, and honestly not the sort of weapon he was used to. He might have started off with a paintbrush but he'd moved beyond that. This was like that all over again. So when he turned his attention on the shadow beast which had attacked the senshi he launched his smaller frame at it and made to stab it, putting all his force behind the attack. "All on this beast than the next." He stated, loudly, hoping they'd all take his words to heart and work together. He wasn't expecting when he was thrown off the beast and it's claws to come out and rack across his chest shredding his uniform, right through to skin. The hiss of pain, and biting of his bottom lip, all indications that it hurt like hell. If that hadn't given it away the blood which started to well up mostly certainly would give it away. It wasn't a lot though, thankfully. It was only glancing blow. If it had really gotten him he'd have been in trouble. it was when he hit the ground that he'd rolled himself and only just got caught by the claws. "Watch the claws!" Benitoite's HP: 100-5=95
Shadow Beast A's Damage: 10

Tantalus HP: 75 - 5 = 70
Target: Guard A
Damage: 12
At first, Tantalus had been terrified. Not only was he lost in space, far from home, from Damocles, from anyone he knew or trusted, he was wearing an explosive collar and fodder on the platter for a madman who wanted to see all of them dead and dinner. He had watched other people fight for their lives, had seen one of them die horribly and gorily, just like the poor Page in the cell. He had slept even worse the second night, with the image of that poor Senshi being pulled apart stuck in his brain. It was there every time he closed his eyes, and it meant that sleep had eluded him, except in fits and starts that could barely even be considered "naps."
So yes, he was afraid. He was afraid when he was selected, when he was dragged out to the arena, and the fear, he thought, might cripple him in the battle - because that was definitely what was to come. A battle.
But he wasn't alone. There were other people there - Chariklo was there, rendered elegant and Eternal in white. He wanted to call her a thousand kinds of traitor, but there wasn't time for that. This wasn't the place for that. He could talk to her later, interrogate her about why she had made the choice she had, why she had left the Court behind. But no, for now he had to kill these evil sons of bitches.
His fear started to shift, rapidly, to something else. It began to become rage, a rage that he hoped he would be able to hold on to, because he was pretty sure it was gonna carry him through this little gladiatorial game.
The King wanted them to fight for his entertainment? Tantalus was an actor. He'd get some ******** entertainment.
The Senshi of Temptation reached up, tugging off his scarf - too much of a liability if he kept wearing it, but a weapon if he didn't. He wrapped it around his hands, considering the targets carefully. Two of the others were going for a shadow beast, which left the other beast and two guards.
He wasn't sure what a solid weapon would do against the beast, though the other two seemed to be having decent luck - which was at least something. He knew the guards could overpower him, they had in order to drag him off, but all that meant was, with rage festering in his gut, Tantalus wanted revenge.
So he strode forward, and then he ran, and he leapt at one of the guards, going to wrap his scarf around the guard's throat. The automaton lashed out at him, and cut a slash in his side, but he ignored it - it was definitely not the worst thing that had happened to him.
