>>5481414One of your opponents holds himself with the kind of cockiness reserved for idiot punks that think they’re the hottest shit on the block.
Can’t imagine where you’ve seen that before.
When he sees that he’s got your attention, he gives a smug little grin and starts trying to wave and pander to the crowd.
Armor’s a bit fancier than what you’ve seen thus far, but it’s nothing that your spatha can’t cleave through given the right angle and motivation.
In terms of weaponry, he’s got an exotic loadout; some kind of long stiletto knife and an ornate mace. Seems like the kind of guy that bullrushes into battle with nary a thought bouncing in his head.
In contrast, the other gladiator maintains a cold impassiveness in the face of his partner’s antics, merely taking a moment to adjust a slightly wayward strap.
He’s packing a small buckler shield and a sawtoothed sword. Judging from the ugly stains running along its teeth, it’s seen plenty of use in its time.
If he’s been inspecting you, it’s been impossible for you to tell; guy has an expression like you’ve been reading him excepts from the dictionary for the last 4 hours straight.
Well, now that you’ve got a bit of thinking done; you need to figure out a game plan.
Neither of these bozos seem to have much team chemistry, so you may be better served by coordinating something with your partner; even if he does seem like dead weight.
Alternatively, you could try to split them up and make this a pair of 1v1s. It'll put your partner in danger, but you'll have the luxury of not having to worry about him fucking up and leaving you wide open.
Decisions, decisions.
In the end, you decide to…
> Coordinate with your partner and keep this a team fight. You’ll be doing most of the heavy lifting, but what else is new?> Split-up and engage one of the opposing gladiators directly. Risky, but you might be able to 2v1 the remainder if you can kill their partner fast enough. > Other?
