The Games of Saberhaven
Noerdaxinanis vs. Chek'tu
        A buzz is circulating at the unknown but anticipated Noerdax, a gorillian from the Great Jungle. None have seen a goriallian fight and from the word on the street, this one is exceptional.
        The Thri-Kreen gladiator enters with his customary leap into the air to announce his arrival. The crowd cheers but a collective jump starts when the other doors open.
       To everyone's surprise, the Gorillian enters on a flying carpet, playing a set of drums. Chek'tu seems unimpressed as he leaps again towards his flying opponent.
       The Thri-kreen starts launching chakta, a stone throwing wedge used by the mantis people, at the oncoming Gorillian. Noerdax leaps from his carpet, letting it come to rest behind him, sets down his drums and snatches his hammer from beside him.
       The projectiles fly wide of the displaced Gorillian as he moves in waving his hammer high. He leaps at the mantis-man as Chek'tu leaps in the air and draws his impalers, one for each of his four claws.
        In mid-air they first smash into each other with grand cheers from the crowd. The kreen blades whirl around for several lashes. But then the gorillian's hammer sounds as if it cracks the hard exoskeleton of the kreen, knocking him face to the ground.
        The Gorillian takes advantage of the prone thri-kreen's fall and smashes the kreen in the head three times before stepping back for a second.
       The stalwort kreen drags himself to his feet, somewhat dazed, but still weilding his weapons.
       The Gorillian blinks out and behind the kreen. He pounds a shot into the insect man as Chek'tu spins around. Still weak from the beating he took on the ground, the kreen trips and stumbles once again, leaving himself open to yet another shot from the mighty Gorillian hammer.
       The Gorillian swings hard at the head of the rising kreen, but Chek'tu is able to get his bearings in time to dodge.
       Taking four short but strong jabs, the kreen covers the chest of the Gorillian with criss cross patterns.
       Angered, Noerdax spins 360 degrees and tries to bash in the face of the bug-man. The kreen nimbly ducks a then slashes the gorillian four more times.
       The gorillian smacks the kreen twice with his hammer and jumps away before his opponanat can strike out.
       Before he can activate an item, the kreen falls to the ground, defeated.
