In the tournament finale, the newcomer Edric was once more victorious, defeating Anna in back and forth battle, ending only when Edric landed a massive shot with his halberd that nearly took Anna's life.
In the main event, Edric's streak came to an abrupt end at the maw of the Hellhound, who was angered by anti-halforc remarks made by Edric and took it out ruthlessly on him in battle.

Gnomercy continued his domination, even as an underdog against fellow gnome Warren von Blimkorkin. He is now 4-0.
In a controversial main event, Hilgur defeated the Hellhound Baboli after a restart when it was discovered that Baboli had accidentally grabbed her blunted sparring axe. She thrashed Hilgur in the initial skirmish, but in the restart, Hilgur gutted out a win. Hilgur currently is ranked #1 in Sanctuary, but a rematch is guaranteed.

In a battle for promotion, Vrugar the Killinger defeated Bhronn of Cave Worm in a slugfest.
In the main event, Dangerous Liasan remained undefeated, repeatedly foiling Furious Frank's attempts to disarm here with his trident. Liasan repeated countered with quick, power sword strikes, and by the time Frank abandoned his strategy, it was too late.

In the main event, Gnomercy stunned the fans with yet anothing thrilling come from-behind victory, defeating Joco in the closest match the Arena has yet seen - Joco fell only a mere split second before Gnomercy.
Event 11 was a wild and wooly affair for all involved.
Rasputov continued his winning ways with a gutsy victory over Enigma. Rasputov was promoted.
Larek of Black Lion defeated Dram Anger in a first round tournament match.
Baboli the Hellhound defeated Warren von Blimkorkin in a first round tournament match. Warren sadly perished in the battle. It should be noted that during the fray, Baboli's four-legged companion Kolor spit a small bit of fire at Warren. The fire had no real effect on Warren, and Baboli gave him a free shot to make up for the accident. Still, this caused some controversy, particularly among Warren's fellow gnomes, and especially as Warren died in the battle.
In a battle of undefeated Tier 4 fighters, Ricky the Rotten Razor Ratclaws defeated Pug in an exciting tilt.
As the tournament final between Larek and Baboli was about to begin, #1 ranked gladiator Gnomercy took exception to the events of the earlier match, and outright slew Kolor on the spot. Baboli was incensed and beat Gnomercy within an inch of his life during a wild brawl that raged through the stands. Gnomercy was only saved from death by some timely healing, combined with fans and gladiators pulling Baboli off him.
To settle the dispute, the next fight was changed to pit Gnomercy versus Baboli. In a close fought, riverting clash, Gnomercy claimed victory - and Baboli's life. It should be noted however, that she died from wounds suffered in the battle itself, as opposed to Gnomercy running her through when she was already down.
In the new main event, Larek of Black Lion ended Gnomercy's undefeated run in yet another very closely contested affair. Larek began by attacking Gnomercy's legs, most of which Gnomercy easily dodged. Eventually, Larek settled on a more direct approach and handed Gnomercy his first victory, a result that has thrown the top level rankings into disarray.
As Larek's only loss was when ganged up against in a three way rumble, and the fact that he is a seasoned warrior who has defeated several of the top gladiators in one-on-one combat, rumors are milling that another victory could mean Larek of Black Lion could be the first official gladiator to reach Champion of Sanctuary status.
Event 12:
In a battle of newcomers, Uhktar defeated Coward and was prompty promoted to Tier 2.
In a Tier 2 battle, Rasputov continued his winning streak by besting Bearweasel Brigid in very long back and forth battle.
In a match where the winner received a rematch to avenge a previous loss to Larek, Gnomercy defeated Hilgur.
Ricky Ratclaws was then promoted to the top Tier by defeating Hilgur. Congratulations, Razor!
In the main event, Larek once more bested Gnomercy. Unfortunately, Gnomercy was slain with a brutal axe strike by Larek.
After the event, promoter Jonathan Redd announced that if Larek wins his next match against Ricky Ratclaws, he will become the first gladiator to be offered a chance at graduation, and Champion of Sanctuary status.
