Apacalators battle report (using Red Sand, Black Moon rules)
It was only a slight bump in the Karthij market, but it was enough for Brutus to issue a brash challenge to the offender."No one touches Brutus Driver! I'm the best Qwik driver in the Rest of the Wasteland- and master with the halberd! I want your blood, waste rat!"
Only after Brutus had issued his challenge did he realize who his opponent was. It was Legarius of Capyooa, apocalator of the Wasteland, and he had been on a blood quest seeking just such a moment to hone his skills.
Legarius eyed Brutus and smiled lightly.
"Qwik is your game, and quick is your action, blood seeker. I accept your challenge. Place and time, driver?"
Brutus could not back down now. His reputation as a Qwik player and as a warrior stood on the brink.
"There's a field south of the Hell Forest- I'll see you at high sun!"
As an apocalator, Legarius was balanced in his abilities and master with the sword and shield.
Brutus was more talk than skill, but his experience on the qwik fields has given him great speed and reflexes, dangerous when coupled with his halberd. Still, Legarius outclassed Brutus, and they both knew it.
At the Hell Forest arena, the two fighters faced off. As a witness to the day's earlier events, Sharon of Styx was chosen to be patron to ensure that the fight was honorable.
Brutus took the initiative and quickly moved to the center of the arena with Legarius moving in to meet him. Brutus knew his weapon and had started to swing the nasty halberd before the two fighters reached one another. But it was a feint! Brutus reversed his swing impossibly and came down on Legarius's unshielded side. But Legarius, having fought more than 50 fights, had seen this maneuver before and was able to dodge the attack, sending Brutus's halberd into sand and rock. Brutus quickly recovered and the two fighters swung their weapons. Legarius parried Brutus's halberd again and again but was unable to find an opening to begin his own attack; Brutus was relentless; he was fighting scared.
And then it happened- Legarius, going all out, missed his mark, lost his balance and went stumbling past Brutus.
"South sands!" cursed Legarius.
And those proved to be the fighter's final words; Brutus was able to bring his halberd into Legarius's lower back, and the heavy rusted blade severed muscle and spine -- a killing stroke!
Outclassed in fighting ability and manners, Brutus's victory not only boosted his fighting ability, but also his confidence and his loud mouth.

Photos for Ken
Ken, you can click each pic for a larger version, This is most, but not all the figures. The remainder include a few armored and unarmored huscarls/bondi(?) and a couple more big-bearded bondi. Also, the Valkyrie are a little more "blue" in color than the photo shows.

ton Coliseum
About 150 miles east of Omha and 30 miles north of Demoyn is Lake Amnesia. The ruins of a large, ancient town dot the perimeter of the lake, but information on this town has been lost to the ages.
In the middle of the lake is the concrete ruins of an ancient (sports) arena known as "ton Coliseum." The "ton," as it is called, is an island with the open-air arena floor actually several feet below the level of the lake's surface. The only way to the arena is by boat or by flying. The arena isn't far from the shore, but swimming is not recommended (nor are smaller boats such as canoe). Something lives in the lake, but no one knows what -- well, some do, but they're not around anymore.
When Porker, Badder, Hoop and other mutant gangs want to settle a score, but don't want to expend resources, they can challenge one another to a smaller battle in the ton Coliseum. Other wasteland inhabitants come to witness these spectacles and to bet coin and supplies on the outcome. The contenders usually put up territories or leadership rights as wagers; and sometimes the battles are for supplies, including omega tech.
There are very few rules. Contestants must observe a truce when they travel to the ton, and must immediately forfeit whatever they wagered on the fight, but there are no rules protecting the spectators or detailing how a fight is to proceed. Sometimes, while a small battle rages in the arena, a much larger battle might be fought among the spectators.
Besides the fights, the ton is a wealth of information about Middle Meriga.
A small note: Archivists often visit the ruins around the lake searching for ancient technology known as "The 'Clones." They haven't found anything, but they keep searching.
