The master observed the signature, frowning as he couldn't make out what they said. Shaking his head, he dismissed Mia.<br/>"Get ready with the outfitter then you can go to the spectators area with the others and wait until you're called. The seats above are already getting filled and the opening game will start soon."<br/><br/>The guard who was escorting her throughout the complex led her to a room and gestured for her to enter then went his own way, seemingly done looking after the monk.<br/>Inside were racks of weapons of all kinds, from simple to exotic, gathered and sorted by fighting style, so if a contestant had a preference they could just take a weapon from the corresponding rack. There were swords both long and short, straight and curved, shields, spears and halberds, nets and tridents, even great two-handed weapons. In the back of the chamber on several tables were various pieces of armor lying. A few helms, shoulder pads or bracers, single gauntlets, each matching the pieced-together lightly dressed and armored style of clothing the gladiators had, with traps and leathers holding metal parts together.<br/><br/>"Oh hello, hello there!" a voice came from behind the table and Mia spotted a small man seated behind it wearing a leather hood over his head and shoulders, only leaving his scarred, shaved face revealed, and strangely making him blend in with the items around him. His hands at his sides, he started fidgeting with something under the table... and pushed himself out from behind it, revealing he was only in a loincloth underneath, his torso ending in two stumps where legs used to be, seated on a wooden contraption with wheels that he could control and roll around in by holding on to nearby objects or furniture.<br/>"A pretty late comer. Most of the fighters are almost ready, but the master told me to have gear ready for a woman. Not much time left, so I can advise just to pick something you like and join the others. If you want anything refitted, it will take some time and you might miss out on some of the action. Quite the roster out there for tonight, all the important fighters are suited up." he explained, rolling around the table and offering a hand, skin rough from work with equipment. "Ol' Kicks is my name, nice to meet you. Here to help you anyway I can."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Mia is expected to pick a weapon and change into a gladiatrix outfit then join the other warriors in the waiting room where they can watch the action from.<br/>She has time until her own turn comes up but it is up to her how that time is spent.<br/>She can talk with the outfitter, examine available gear or get something fitted for herself. If she gets ready quickly she'll have a chance to meet and talk with the gladiators, possibly Saar before she's up, or watch the contests happening in the arena.<br/><br/>By default, the following sets of equipment are available:<br/>Weapons:<br/>-Double shortswords or Scimitar and dagger<br/>-Flail, Longsword, Morningstar or Spear and Shield<br/>-Maul, Greataxe or Greatsword<br/>-Net and Trident<br/><br/>Clothing/Armor<br/>-Gladiatrix outfit: no AC modifier, essentially skimpy clothing made of leather and metal<br/>-Sexy Studded Leather AC 12+Dex: Leather corset and bustier with strips of leather for a skirt, all reinforced with bits of metal<br/>-Provocative Breastplate AC 14+Dex(max 2): A plate over the breasts and a leather thong<br/>-Chainmail bikini AC 16<br/></div></div>
