The Jolly Roger Challenge

Eight fighters had gathered at the rooftop of the Black Market, next to the Jolly Roger Inn. The stands outside the fighting arena were moderately crowded. Each fighter had to pay 10,000 gold coins entrance fee, the winner would take it all! The rules were easy: You were not allowed to bring own equipment. Exceptionally crafted armor and weapons were provided. The contestants were allowed to bring and use any kinds of bandages, potions, bolts, darts and reagents.
The murmuring crowd silenced as Norrar Swordhand and Legolas entered the ring for the first round. Their weapons ready, they stood facing each other firmly. Then the signal was given to start the fight!

Legolas, Norrar Swordhand, Trinsac, Rictas Raleigh, Valin Greywolf, John RavenClaw, Chicken Salad and Hawkeye Pike fought for the prize. Everyone who lost two fights was out. After nine exciting fights (the one where Hawkeye Pike lost against Legolas is the only fight with no picture), Norrar Swordhand made third place, Trinsac second and Hawkeye Pike first.
