Semi-finals Leg 1 Results
Battle 1: Emperor Commodus vs. Spacius Maximus
1. The battle starts. Commodus seems to be quite weary from his rather astonishing round-robin performance, and Spacius manages to, after a quick series of ducks and dodges, poke Commodus in the shin with his toothpick for three points' worth of damage. The crowd goes silent in expectation - will this be yet another show of hit and run by the "One Hit Wonder"?
2. Spacius pokes the tired Commodus again for 3 points, and, deciding he's already stuck around too long, gets on his feet and starts to scamper away from 'the Emperor'. The Emperor, now clearly awoken from his slumber by the prick, err, two pricks, looks puzzled at his opponent running counter-clockwise around the arena away from him. Shrugging, Commodus starts running clockwise. Spacius, not too aware of his surroundings, suddenly encounters Commodus, and his mighty sword, on the other side of the arena. His large shield is no help - he suffers eighteen points of damage.
3. Spacius counters this rather outrageously arrogant and bold antibody to his modus operandi by poking Commodus for the third time in the shin for three points, hoping that the third time's the charm and that the scratches will inevitably infect Commodus with a pretty nasty mutation of the pubonic plague. His thinking is a bit too far-fetching, however, and Commodus, shrugging, merely strikes Spacius again for 18 points of damage. After a less glorious ending round of the Round-robin, Commodus seems to be right back in the game.
The first leg ends with Emperor Commodus at a respectful 91 points of health left, while Spacius is taking the role of the underdog with only 64 points left.
Battle 2: Lord Drogue of Antoine vs. Jack the Knife
1. Jack arrives to the arena brandishing a new item of gladiatorial clothing, a large dark cloak. Lord Drogue is offered the option to disqualify the item, but he shuns the thought, thinking that the cloth will only hamper his opponents' movements. He couldn't be further from the truth, however, for once the battle starts, the cloak appears to be heavy in appearance but light in weight, and Jack is able to swiftly cross the distance between himself and Drogue, only to produce a set of knives from within the cloak. In a few quick movements, Drogue has suffered 23 points of damage.
2. Taken aback by the sudden occurrence, Drogue is paralyzed in his actions for a moment, and Jack is able to reproduce his maneuvre for 23 more points of damage. Drogue's paralysis is shattered, but with a large cost - his chest is already bleeding rather givingly. But with stern resolve, Drogue takes his sword and shield, settles into a melee stance, and finally after a moment of hide and seek with Jack and his cloak, he manages to puncture Jack's right arm for 26 points of damage.
3. Jack screams in pain and falls back, obscuring Drogue's eyes by the cloak, trying to cope with only his left arm functioning. A seasoned fighter, he is not completely disabled by a mile, but the suddenness of it all is causing him to go into a modicum of a shock. Drogue manages to take advantage of this pause in Jack's dexterity and perceptiveness and deals a new blow to Jack, although this time with the edge of his sword dulled somewhat by the previous blows against Jack's cloak and the ground, causing not a bleeding wound but serious shock damage nonetheless - for 25 points of damage.
The first leg ends with Drogue at 54 HP remaining and Jack the Knife with 49 points of HP remaining.

Semifinals, Leg 2 Results
Battle 1: Emperor Commodus vs. Spacius Maximus
Spacius seems to be completely off his stride. With the battle now being fought to the death, and his toothpick lost in the sands of the arena, and with Commodus managing to counter his formerly so succesful technique, Spacius finds himself receiving blow after another: 15 points, 13 points, and finally only three points, with no opportunities to hit back. But the beating starts to accumulate, and while Commodus is almost unscathed, Spacius is reeling from the strikes and coughing up blood with only a third of his health left in him. The battle looks very grim for "One Hit Wonder", while Commodus seems to be continuing on a road of triumphs his way to the finals.
Battle 2: Lord Drogue vs. Jack the Knife
After a relatively brutal three segments, the battle devolves into a skirmish of matched mettle; neither gladiator manages to score any damage, but at least the fighting is fierce.

Oh my, this is getting interesting.
Semifinals, Leg 3 results
Battle 1: Emperor Commodus vs. Spacius Maximus
In the first segment, Commodus continues his rampage by going on an all-out attack and striking poor Spacius for 18 points of damage. The ailing, bleeding, hurting gladiator stands up and takes a deep breath. Summoning all of his inner strength, drawing it from mystical sources unbeknown to even himself, he raises his colossal shield, cries out in rage and charges blindly on. He clobbers the helpless and surprised Commodus' head with the shield, he slaps him around a bit with it, and as a final strike of what can only be described as a "limit break" Spacius blows all the air out of Commodus' lungs by throwing himself and his shield at Commodus' prone body. The audience gives a standing ovation to this glorious performance, which scores a whopping 45 points of damage on Commodus, practically halving his health.
It is now Spacius' turn to continue on his rampage, but his ace in the hole has been used and Commodus is able to defend and block his initial assault. The block causes Spacius to stumble for 3 points of damage; this ritual is repeated in the third round.
Commodus goes to Leg 4 with 46 HP left, while Spacius is reeling with a bare minimum of 19 HP.
Battle 2: Lord Drogue vs. Jack the Knife
In a battle quite unlike the other semifinal, Jack and Drogue opt for all-out defence instead of all-out attack. In the first segment, Jack manages to dodge Drogue's defences while throwing a light punch in, dealing 5 points of damage, equalizing the situation.
Both gladiators have 49 HP left.

Nicely played Jack!
Finish him! Could the second match be the first fight that goes to the death in this game?
