OK Senti has her serious head on.<br/><br/>I see the issue of four months however this is often how it is in Forum RP I find.  Not that I mind, also when players leave it can make things more difficult.<br/><br/>As for the Gladiator part, most of the characters have only been there a day most of the slaves whether Gladiators or anything else would likely be dehydrated and underfed, likely beaten, lice, ticks and in a pretty bad way. Thus to put them in the ring would be really a bad idea of the dominus I am assuming.<br/><br/>Might I suggest after this scene Matriana is removed, and then some sort of down time?  So a month or so will pass? I personally find it very useful in games to move time on and let a week or so of interaction happen. Before the next ‘event’ happens. Which could be a gladiator event, once everyone has been made appropriate and healthy enough for said event.<br/><br/>I might suggest that it might be animals they fought…even if they are gerbils.<br/>
