EVENTS BOOK

This book covers the rules for playing different Brutal arena events and is used in conjunction with theBrutal core rules book ‘the training ground’. There are a variety of events that players can take part in. It’snot all about simple one on one combat! If you are playing a single one-off game then simply pick an event

or roll to randomly determine which you shall play. Rules covering playing an actual league or free-flowing campaigns are mentioned within the Lanista book ‘The bloodied, bruised and broken’ If playing a

league/ campaign then please refer to the ‘pre-fight build-up’ in that book instead.

The event size is determined by how many players wish to play within the same event.

Fatality MatchFatality matches are often brought on by a grudge between fighters during the hyped up pre-fight interviews. Whatcan start from a normal match with fighters having mutual respect of one another can quickly lead to hostilitybetween them that often end up as a brawl before the actual fight takes place. Once the event takes place thefighters offer no mercy and this always results in death.

Treat a fatality match exactly like the event being played but the winner always makes the finishing blow as if theplayer got a 10 as a result on ‘listening to the crowd’. The crowd accept that this is a fatality match due thevideo footage shown of the pre-fight interviews and so fighters do not receive any downside to taking things intotheir own hands.

Side Events

Guthrarde’s senses were heightened by the dangers surrounding him. The arena was in constant motion as wallsraised and lowered and the sentinels became active. He gave a prayer to Wotak to help guide him and to accept himwith open arms should he fall this day.The metallic grid shuddered as another wall section lowered into the arena floor. His opponent, seeing the opening,stomped forward in his mechanical suit brandishing a huge sledge hammer. With a battle cry he too advanced to meethis foe. Guthrarde parried the breakers attack sending shockwave's down his arm. He returned a strike of his ownonly to have it chip away at the breakers thick armour. The metal clad warrior came down on Guthrarde hitting him onhis shoulder smashing him to the floor. The human Di-sector kicked out but to no avail. The towering figure stoodbefore him with his hammer raised for a final strike. Guthrarde rolled to the side as the hammer came crashing downcausing the floor to shake with the impact. He quickly jumped up onto his feet has a reverse swing hit him in the chestknocking him backwards onto a chaos pad. Guthrarde rolled to the side of the pad just as gouts of flame eruptedfrom the floor singeing his warrior knot and facial hair.He struggled to breathe as the pain in his chest overwhelmed him and blood coated his throat and mouth. The di-sector punched his activation button on his chest to release a dose of combat drugs into his system. The pain dulledas he rose to face his foe once again. A wall section rose behind the behemoth armour clad warrior. Circular sawsbecame active on the wall. Gaining the initiative Guthrarde rushed in and with all his might, rammed the breakerforcing him backwards against the wall. The saws cut into his opponents armour as sparks lit up the arena. The di-sector kept close to the breaker in order to keep out of the devastating weapons range of his two handed weapon.The ponderous fighter swung for him with a hardened steel fist which Guthrarde deflected with ease as he side-stepped to the flank of his foe. The di-sector went to work cutting exposed wires and pipes of the L.M.A. suit withhis dagger. Oil spurted out as the armour bled.

Special Side Event

Swift KillThe popularity of the swift kill tournament has risen in recent times thanks to Lanista Rune. At first this

tournament was played in the pits of the small towns as the main viewing populace looked at swift kills as theaudience being cheated out of their entertainment.

Fear FactoryNothing instils fear into the brutal fighters more than the Fear Factory event. Fighters in this event have to

think ahead in order to get out of harms way as the arena has a higher kill count than all the fighters that evertake part! The walls become alive with the constant motion of circular saw’s and gouts of flame. If that’s not badenough then 4 sentinels in the arena would surely raise an eyebrow to even the most capable of fighters.

The music played on.

Sheikal the huntress had many fallen at her feet. Gore covered the metal floor making it slippery and stickyunderfoot. The excorio crouched beside a fallen textrix. She always admired the power of the textrix. The wayit’s corruptive DNA made it more powerful, more deadly and more unforgiving. She had hunted this one sinceshe first knew it was going to be attending this War-breed event and had relished in its slaughter. It had left abloodied reminder along her neck near her artery but this pain she also relished.

She looked up to see two more fighters in defensive formation closing in.

Strike after strike hit thin air as Sheikal evaded the flurry of attacks. Uncertainty whispered in the wind of thoseblades as she spun backwards out of harms way with ease.The human deflector and bruiser cautiously advanced. The piercer kept them at bay with a couple of jabs of herpole-arm. They parried the incoming attacks but thought better of closing the distance any further. She cared littlefor hitting them as she wanted them right where they stood, with the blood of her fallen under their feet. She lungedforward with a forward thrust hitting the bruiser in his shoulder and followed with a swift overhead strike comingdown onto the deflectors shield with a shower of sparks. The deflector broke formation and came rushing in withhis shield, buzzing with a bloodied build-in chainsaw. The excorio somersaulted over the incoming fighter causinghim to lose his footing and fall on the slippery ground as he tried to turn. Sheikal landed within arms reach fromthe bruiser who hit out with his mechanical arm breaking one of her ribs. She screamed with sadistic joy as shefelt a rush of pain and struck out with her greave mounted dagger. The human raised his mechanical arm too lateas she punched the blade deeper into the wound in his shoulder. With a jerk she snapped off the blade leaving it withinthe bruiser’s body.With a great burst of speed she spun with the flair and grace of dancer. Her blade tipped chains flew-out causinga blur of metallic death. The chain piercing's pulled on her skin as the weighted wicked hooks and barbed bladesshredded the bruiser and deflector. The deflector tried to defend against the death-spin but to no avail as thechains wrapped around his shield and ripped his body bit by bit, snagging and pulling flesh apart. Both fightersdropped as she finished her spin in a crouched position.

She noticed her face on one of the vid-screens and gave a subtle smile as the music played on......

Special Main Event

Bomb TagBomb tag is a game of ‘tag, your on’ but with a difference. Fatality matches always draw a crowd and bomb

tag is no exception. It’s also a refreshing change from seeing the normal brutal match ups as the crowd knowany time soon someone’s head is going to disappear in gouts of blood as the bomb collar times out andexplodes!

Number of ludi: 3+ Number of fighters per ludi: 1Race/class restrictions: NoneEach player rolls 1d10 to see which fighter classes are needed for the event.1 Stinger2 Breaker3 Bruiser4 Di-sector5 Deflector6 Piercer7 Incapacitator8 to 10. players choice

This fighter is now ‘on’ and only has three turns to transfer the activation tosomeone else by tagging them effectively de-activating their own collar.

Tagging: In order to ‘tag’ another fighter you need to make a successful hit with a range 0 attack. No damageneeds to get though in order to pass on the activation. Once passed on the timer is reset back to three turns butonly starts counting down at the beginning of the following game turn.

How to win: Once a fighter reaches the end of the round with a counter of 0 or a total of 15 turns has passedthen his/ her bomb activates blowing off his/ her head in a spectacular fashion. The explosion may well hurtothers in the area as it has a ranged effect of 0 with a damage rating of 1d10 to those nearby. The fighter thatlast tagged the now headless unfortunate claims the win and the kill. Obviously no roll is made on the ‘hands offate’
