Week Twelve -- Saturday -- Third Cage Fight
Who: Anyone who attends the cage fight (all are invited!)
Where: Mountain Lion Territory, largest warehouse on the Vance Copper Mine property.
When: Saturday from dusk till late into the night
Why: Because gambling and bloodshed is fun!
(((OOC: This post is simply a starter for those of you who want to attend the cage fight. Please post all cage fight related threads here. If your character would like to be one of the fighters please post and wait at least one RL day for an opponent before posting your fight with an NPC. Only two characters are allowed to fight so it will be on a first come first serve basis. :))))
The Mountain Lions had sent runners all over town and the outskirts for the last week to announce the cage fight and someone from the tribe had even made camp at the trading post to recruit drifters for the fighting. Despite the violent and fruesome history of the Vance Copper Mine, the event always drew an enormous crowd.
In the center of the fluorescent lit building was an enormous chain-link cage. It’s a square cage of simple construction, complete with a roof to keep competitors from climbing out should things get too intense for them. The Mountain Lions have announced only two rules: There are no weapons allowed and the first person to be knocked out cold loses. The prospect of gambling, even if it is only for minor supplies, drew even more of a crowd than last time, leaving the warehouse almost full. The warm weather and the reputation of the event had drawn people from all over, many whom the tribes had never seen and who didn’t appear to be drifters.
A few hours before dusk people started to arrive by walking, or the Mountain Lions’ own horse caravan. When the sun finally set there was quite a crowd and the warehouse had become noisy with anticipation. No one had volunteered to fight yet, but in the shadows behind the cage peopl could see a veritable herd of shirtless drifters waiting to fight and be fed afterward. Betting was encouraged by all those who showed up. However they were required to register any bets with a Mountain Lion at the door. A Mountain Lion Bouncer circulated the crowd to keep tabs on the bets. The Mountain Lion presence was stronger than ever as they had several more guards there than before, could they possibly be keeping an eye out for the drifters who offended them months ago?
One of the Mountain Lions came over a loudspeaker they had managed to rig up. He explained the two rules, encouraged betting and welcomed everyone that had showed up. Then he opened the floor for two volunteers to be the first fighters.
