Elizabeth has built a Bret lord as the last entrant into the Arena, she's just finalizing his story.

Fair enough... spot is hers (as she claimed it first)
As soon as the character is submitted, the arena will begin (in a separate thread)
When that thread is active, this one will lock (just so we have the arena in one consistent story thread as we will only need this thread in case people want to view the rules / entrants for reference)
When the arena thread is active (as soon as the introduction is posted) feel free to contribute any fluff whatsoever (except for battling one another of course!)... this can include challenges or talk with other characters... things your character is doing / observing prior to or following fights...
please note, that all fights will be to the death...

I would first like to say that Matthew's character is a cheesy bastard and I hate him. 10 points for a Talisman of Rerolls is WAYYY more badass than ANYTHING I could pretend to come up with out of my codex. Ughhhhh. Anyways, here's my guy: Name: Lord Jacques LaFleur of Mousillon Background:Though Lord Jacques was born in Bastonne, his parents were of Mousillon, and told him many stories of its former glory. He always dreamed of returning to Mousillon, followed by an army to reclaim the fallen kingdom of his parents. Although he was an accomplished knight, no army would follow him, and so he partook in the quest for the Grail, to meet the Lady of the Lake to prove that he was a true Son of Mousillon. Though he drank from the Holy Grail, still none would follow him to the dread land of his parents birth. Wishing to continue proving his prowess, he came to the Arena, to prove to those watching that he was the one destined to bring peace to Mousillon. Equipment:Bretonnian Lord 110- Barded WarHorse 21
- Enchanted Shield 10
- 5+ Armour save (For a total save of 1+)
- Sword of Lady's Champion 40
- Strength = Opponent's T+1 (Will always strike on 3+ or better)
- Virtue of the Ideal 35
- Grail Vow 28
- Immune to Psychology
- Starts with Blessing of Lady (6+ Ward save, 5+ vs. S5 or higher)
Total Cost: 244 points.

I'm just going to point out a wording on Talisman of Loec. "May re-roll all rolls to hit and wound"
This suggests to me that I can even re-roll successful rolls to wound. My intent would be that my guy will attempt to killing blow anyone that is not immune to it (or too big for it), even to the extent of possibly losing already confirmed wounds in order to shoot for the killing blow. The only time he wouldn't do such a thing against someone who COULD be killing blowed, was if he had already done enough damage to kill them and they had no saves against it (which I don't think applies to any characters here)

Jerk. Translation: Matthew's character is cheesy and I hate him.

that makes 8, the bret lord looks good i would have personaly went for the virtue of purity and the silver lance of the blessing, purity would make you start with the blessing at 5+ and the lance makes if so if you have the blessing its auto hit with the lance, so all attacks hit first turn at +2 strenght. But still looks good. the always 3+ will be good. Cant wait to play. a couple guys im affraid my guy will get killed easy by. lol

....yes, but killing blow doesn't kill outright in an arena... please see rules!
- and that's what your Bret Lord's ward save is for!
the arena is now full!

The problem with a Lance bret lord in this kind of thing is they need to kill 1st turn or they're stuck.

I had considered doing that, but it would have left him more or less defenseless, with what the points cost was for the Lance. I wanted something so that he could survive and keep fighting effectively in later rounds, or so that he could at least survive the first round of fighting if he didn't go first. Also, I like the sound of 5 attacks and WS 8. It just has a nice ring to it.

i know as i said the lord looks great, i dont even see the sword you used on the army builder lol i had looked at a couple different races and made characters to see what i might fight, and people have all got items or things i hadn't noticed. Like that crazy 10 point item The Talismen of loec. Im hoping my guys lucky or someone else kills him before my guy has to get at him. Or The Venom sword, one wound and its a good possability and any character is dead. or the thing the dark elf has with if he makes his ward save you take a wound, at 4 + that's about half the hits you make go though his armour come back to wound you

Yeah, the Venom Sword dude scares me a bit. I'm hoping with his strength only being 4 the good armour save will let me survive a turn of it, after which he goes squish very easily.

I like the Bret Miyo took. I'd thought the auto-hit lance build would be good, except as most characters can get ward saves, your chances of a turn 1 kill without KB or Venomsword, aren't that great. The arena seems to be that either you make someone who is going to kill everyone outright on turn 1, or you make someone who can force the 2nd of 3rd round and wear your opponent down.
