Jonathan Redd,

I will personally see to it that anyone found participating in death matches for sport will be ejected from the Sanctuary Arena. Should I see you hosting such an event I will personally evict you from the premises and if you persist I will have you arrested for trespassing. You are permitted to hold tournaments, barring intervention from the Headmaster, but not to the death.

Do not think your money or your title gives you the right to quench your thirst for blood on the lives of Sanctuary's adventurers. Yours is the same kind of sick bloodlust that the Cyricists of the Red Skull founders believed in.

Potential Gladiators,

I recognize the many reasons for which a warrior would wish to enter battle on such a grand stage, but be forewarned; if anyone is found to be dealing legitimately lethal blows outside of sanctioned duels then they will be banned permanently from the Sanctuary Arena and their names will be given to the Sanctuary Watch to have them arrested for murder.

Compete and display your strength as you wish, and live in the thrill of battle, but in this time of Sanctuary's need for healthy men and women to combat the Chosen threat, do not throw your lives away to entertain that ugly-hearted purple poncey bastard.

~Frances Allegretti, Priestess of Lurue, Professor at the School of War

Miss Alegretti,

You're fired. Please turn your key over to either Dederich or the Council as soon as you're able.

Bye!

J. Redd

Mr. Redd,

Sanctuary School of War

The Sanctuary School of War shall serve as a place and institution in which Sancturians may come and learn warcraft free of charge or discrimination. The vision behind this endeavour is to offer training in physical and tactical battle prowess and thereby embolden Sancturians to a greater and more able defence of themselves and their city when it comes to the dark enemies that lay without.

- The School of War is a volunteer body which shall receive no funding from the city authorities unless said authorities deem it appropriate to do so.

- The School of War shall be run by the Headmaster and the rest of his team, who will simply be named the Staff. The Headmaster will be elected by the Council every election term. The Staff members will be chosen by the Headmaster. The Headmaster will be in direct charge of running the School. The Headmaster shall be held personally responsible for seeing the School's charter upheld.

- The Staff body of the School of War will receive no payment. They will however, be afforded a place of rest as well as storage. They will also have the mandate to eject troublemakers from the School building.

- The Staff body will be charged with holding daily training sessions for the citizens of Sanctuary. Such training encompasses both physical and tactical measures. Moreover, the Staff shall be charged with the hosting of a tournament every tenday, any proceeds of which shall be returned to the city treasury.

Sincerest apologies, you petty little man.

~Frances Allegretti, Professor at the School of War

Then we'll have to fire Dederich for being unable to control you, I suppose. Your willingness to throw him under the wagon so eagerly is quite shocking, I must say.

You fail to realise that you work for a volunteer city organization that USES our Arena, because we're kind enough to let you.

Also, your organization has utterly failed to hold up your end of the bargain, and yet we support you still.

You have no business disrupting the public's use of the Arena. If you can't handle this, perhaps you should not be teaching anyone anything!

J Redd.

This would be a different matter if you were willing to pay for the raising of those slain during your bloodsports. This would be a different matter if you were willing to put a stipulation against allowing death; instead, you're encouraging death with coin. You're facilitating a needless loss of life. Legality and freedoms aside, what you're doing is heartless and senseless. I won't be a part of any society that would allow this.

I believe I am not alone in thinking this, and so if my petition does not get 30 names by this time tomorrow, I will resign from my position as Professor at the School of War.

I have to say i agree with Francis on this, Gladiatorial Tournaments are a sickening sight if you object to them write to the council and have them change the law.

Yours Sincerely,

Kyle Fox.

To all who see this letter,

I stand with Kyle Fox and Francis on this. The gladiator fights are a waste of lives, money, and time. The School of War is a effective place, giving people a chance to spar, to practice, to better hone their skills. These gladiator fights with their high-death rate result in casualties, casualties I DOUBT Sanctuary can afford, ESPECAILLY considering the fact that Sanctuary is not going to be safe from much more if we keep getting hit.

So, Councilor Redd, I ask that you turn the gladiator fights to the knock-out so that the gladiators get experiance from fighting, AND they can be better able to defend not only themselves, but all of Sanctuary. Councilor, I, with all due respect, ask that you stop the wasteful loss of life and turn the gladiator events into knock-out, so the risk of death is low.

This also may contribute to preventing the undead from rising, because if there are less bodies from empty deaths, then there will, in turn, be less undead. However, it would be best to implore a Doomguide of Kelemvor regarding the chances of naturally raising-undead.

Councilor Redd, with all due respect, I implore you to please end the bloodshed, allow the staff of the School of War return, and let both groups, gladiators and staff, co-incide in the same place. However, if that is to much to ask, then I only ask that the gladiator events become knock-out, so we do not have to many dead.

Signed, Luke Danger, Paladin of Tyr

Sickening. This bloodsport, what a waste of time. What a waste of lives. What a waste of good men. Sickening to the core, that we throw away our lives All in the persuit of something greater. Glory. On a scale fit for mankind. The core of mankind. The life they chose for when they set foot into the Arena.

Sickening. How you, Priestess, mean to tell how a man a real man, must or musn't die.
