Welcome to The Pit, the first of the Colosseum's three challenges!
Here in the Pit, your character is placed against mod-created, mod-played monsters and creatures. A successful battle will move your character forward to fight a slightly harder monster(s), again created and played by a mod. Though your stats are known to everyone in SoE, only the mod/admin knows the stats of the creature you will be fighting. If you don't think you can defeat it on your own, post a thread in the Plots and Schemes section asking for help...maybe one of the other Gladiators will come to your aid.
Pit battles are nonlinear, they do not affect the storyline. There are rewards for certain numbers of successive victories in The Pit, ranging from Glory and Honor bonuses, to prizes, to special equipment or ammo. Here's the catch: you have to not only survive the battle, you have to emerge [victorious[/i].
All monsters will have a set number of HP. The only stat of a monster's you'll be aware of is their HP. All other information on a monster is unknown, at least to you.
Posts must follow the Colosseum-IC outlined in BOOT CAMP. Each paragraph is an Action, each post a Day. You are allowed to use up to two paragraphs of a post for dialogue, inner thoughts, etc, without any penalty to your Actions. However, in The Pit, using 4 paragraphs for dialogue will count against your Actions. Nobody wants to watch a fight where one person just sits there blabbering, right?
Each monster you face will have a Difficulty rating, which will help us Staff members determine what prize you'll get if you win. Every successful battle will bump up the Difficulty rating for that character. Meaning, if you fight and win against a Difficulty 3 monster, on your next foray into The Pit you'll be fighting a Difficulty 4 monster.
Also, the number of monsters you face can increase. Instead of fighting one Difficulty 4 monster, you may end up fighting 2 Difficulty 3 monsters. Either the Difficulty rating of a monster will increase, or the number of monsters at the same Difficulty will increase: never both.
