Legion arena

The Legion arena is a gladiatorial arena within the Fort.

Background
This small arena is run by Otho who keeps a small stable of slaves and prisoners for gladiator battles; those who wish to test their mettle and earn renown within the Legion may do so here. The slaves and prisoners are sometimes pit against each other, but it is usually less entertaining than a prisoner versus a freeman, given that prisoners are typically reluctant to kill each other in the first place. The rules are simple: only a single free combatant may enter the gauntlet, with only a machete and minimal protection.

Combat
Speak to Otho, who is standing to the right of the arena gate, in order to participate in arena matches. When entering a contest, weapons and equipment will be confiscated, replaced with gladiator armor and a machete. All arena opponents will be either unarmed or equipped with machetes by default. Battling in the arena will give you fame with Caesar's Legion. Because the arena fights are as much for earning respect as they are for entertainment, Otho will not allow a female Courier to participate.


 * Opponent List
 * Round 1: A fight against two slaves with machetes.
 * Round 2: A fight against Sergeant Andrews, a captured male NCR trooper armed with a machete.

 * A fight with Lupa for Lupa's brain, in the quest Nothin' But a Hound Dog.

Layout
The Legion arena is right below Caesar's tent and is comprised of a small pit with walls of scrap metal hastily put together to form a post-apocalyptic Colosseum. A footlocker rests outside the door where personal effects are stored before entering the arena with the provisioned weapon and armor.

Appearances
Legion arena appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.
