"What's this?" one voice asked. This voice is a harsh, commanding baritone. "New shipment of gladiators, sir," another voice answered. This one is quieter, higher-pitched, nervous. It probably belongs to someone young. The crate was pried open at the top ever so slightly, and I winced as the bright afternoon light glared into my eyes after the inky darkness of the crate. I heard the other prisoners groan with discontent as well. I caught a glimpse of a sharply angled but handsome face looking down upon us before the lid of the crate slammed shut once more and we were once again enveloped in blackness. "Let them in," the authoritative voice ordered coldly. "Get them to the trainers immediately." "Yes, sir," replied the young voice. I could hear the sound of bronze boots clacking against cobblestones, and it slowly receded. Then, I heard an order called out, and with the clattering of hooves against stones, we lurched forward once again.
"Welcome to the arena," a voice said. This one, too, was authoritative, but it was kinder than the voice from before. I opened my eyes slowly and leaned upward in the crate, awaking from my nap in the crate. I beheld a tall, muscular man with jet black hair cut unevenly short. He was clad in the garb of the Roman military; lorica segmentata, a war skirt, caligas, a scarlet focale, a crimson tunic, a black woolen sagum, a horsehair galea, and a balteus containing a stylized gladius. His face was marred by a deep, straight scar running from the cheek to just above the eye. He extended his right hand to me and I grasped it in mine. He gripped my hand firmly and hauled me to my feet. I stumbled at first, months of malnutrition and starvation as well as being jammed in a crate with several other people for days having severely atrophied my muscles, but the soldier caught me. I was able to sit down in a stooping position. "My name's Cadmus," the soldier informed me. "And that's Octavia." He pointed across the vast, sand-floored room and I saw a tall, equally muscular woman in a white toga and caligas. She seemed to be pretty...but in a commanding way. "We're your trainers." "Trainers? For what?" I asked in confusion. Cadmus shook his head. "You don't know where you are, do you?" Octavia replied, walking up. I shook my head unsteadily. "You're in the Arena," Cadmus informed me. "In Rome." I rubbed my gritty eyes. I did recall hearing one of the guards mention something about sending me to some arena. "So...the Arena? In Rome? And why am I here?" I asked again. "I think you know," Cadmus replied. "This Arena is used as a form of punishment for crimes against Rome. I don't care to know what crime you committed in particular, but I do know that in order to be here, in this arena, you have to have done something." "A punishment?" I repeated. "So...it's like the gladiators' arena then, is it?" "Not quite," Octavia answered. "This Arena is a little bit different." "How so?" I asked. "In the Gladiator's arena, the fights are fair," Cadmus answered, "and they're watched by a crowd of spectators for sport. This Arena is no sport. The only viewer is our Emperor, and he is our judge. We must put on a good show for him. He and the others control everything in the Arena. If the Emperor is disappointed, we die. That's not exactly it, but it's a simplified version." "So...I'm in the Arena to fight, am I?" I asked, already knowing the answer. Octavia rolled her eyes. "Of course," she answered. Cadmus folded his arms impassively. "And you're my trainers?" I clarified. Cadmus nodded. "Our job is to make sure you survive...long enough so that the Emperor is pleased with our work, that is," Cadmus told me. "Your work reflects on our own. If the Emperor is really displeased about your performance, we can be punished as well. We must not only make sure you survive, but that you put on a good show." "Makes sense...I guess," I said, shrugging. "So, what now?" "Perhaps you should tell us who you are," Octavia suggested.

Back away from them, and try to lead them out into the middle of the arena. I can only do damage to their backs, and currently the wall is guarding that.
I probaly should hang out near the Tracians body, incase I do run out of ammo, his sword would be pretty usefull.

Err...well actually, the Samnite has armor on his back as well so...yeah. You back away from them and try to lead them into the middle of the arena, but they've wised up. Right now, they're using the arena walls(the arena's circular) to cover them as one of them, the myrmidon, circles around to get behind you, and the other, the Samnite, stays where he is right in front of you. Both keep their shields up. What will you do?

You stand your ground and stab his leg. He is too slow to block it and it goes into the calf a little. He hops up in pain and slashes down with one gladius, cutting the head off of your hasta. Now you have a useless stick.

But historrically, armor is thinner at the back.
Their shields are protecting the vitals, and I need to end this right now. So, I'll shoot the Myrmillon in the foot/shin/thigh (whichever is the most open) and when he reflex drops his shield, I'll hit him in the chest.
I really need to keep moving; I won't last long against the tin cans.

You tackle him, but he is the one with the swords, and stabs you, killing you. Try Again? You'll lose all your money for dying, but you will be able to continue on.

You shoot the myrmidon in the foot and he yells, dropping his sword instead of his shield, and bends over, grabbing his foot in pain. Then you shoot him in the head, killing him. You turn around to see that the Samnite has taken this opportunity to sneak up and get close to you. He swings his sword and gashes your arm deeply. What will you do?

I wheel my horse around and clobber him with the hooves, then shoot him quickly. The force from the shot should be enough to punch through his armor, given the close range.

You turn your horse and rear up its hooves. He dives out of the way before he is smashed by the horse's hooves, giving you the opportunity to shoot him in the back. The exit appears. You're given 2 dupondii, equivalent to 4 asarii.
