My first bout was an epic matchup between my Thraex, Hector, and Drusa the Hoplomachus (played by Alan). Drusa was a machine, keeping the lighter armoured fighter at bay with his long spear. Hector tried to rush in but tripped - stayed on his feet but lost momentum and was deeply wounded in the lead arm for his troubles. Naturally, the crowd loved it!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium; white-space-collapse: preserve;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmakNhE6SdeJjdUeeS8hNRAdlIr-0vtyRmSVNl6OnsalKO58N0K1R1wkD5LUHAP5eE0y4YeeJDPadVLFORelF-Janfy2e51w5LJRuPCdmWoOOoohopdL5S7f1hKVHkAA8LT9ovklIK6risI_fCLt_zZe__4HC5z1bvfq4PBzyPF9FIh62CgbeFPkLwFfAN/s2520/370252931_912437657135379_2921858013375308487_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2520" data-original-width="1941" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmakNhE6SdeJjdUeeS8hNRAdlIr-0vtyRmSVNl6OnsalKO58N0K1R1wkD5LUHAP5eE0y4YeeJDPadVLFORelF-Janfy2e51w5LJRuPCdmWoOOoohopdL5S7f1hKVHkAA8LT9ovklIK6risI_fCLt_zZe__4HC5z1bvfq4PBzyPF9FIh62CgbeFPkLwFfAN/w308-h400/370252931_912437657135379_2921858013375308487_n.jpg" width="308" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: medium;"><span><span>Bleeding badly, Hector circled the Hoplomachus looking for a<span style="color: #385898;"> </span></span></span><span>way in, but Drusus’s spear struck like an adder - another deep wound to lead arm!

His weapon slipped past Drusus defences! With the sica's blade resting on his throat, the Hoplomachus appealed for mercy.
