    Types of Battles:
    Currently, we are conducting group battles.
    Currently, we are conducting versus battles.
    Currently, we are holding a Pankration tournament.

    Group battles are three-on-three melees which require adventurers to register small parties of monsters to fight in the Pit.
    If you apply as a two-person party, you will be able to reserve a registration slot for him or her, ensuring that your monster will be pit against that of your party member.

    Colleseum Dialogue

    "Welcome to the Pit Stop! If you're thinking of doing anything other than just watching, you'll need jettons...and lots of them! "Jetton” is just some fancy Elvaan word for token, which is just some fancy Tarutaru word for money that can't be used anywhere but here in the Pit. And I don't care how big your wallet is, Pankration participants are only allowed to carry up to #. "But how do I get my hands on this magic cash,”Well, that's an easy question--you purchase it from me, but I only take Imperial currency."

    What would you like to do?
    Change monster name.
    Confirm feral skills.
    Remove feral skills.
    Confirm FP total.
    Confirm level and EXP.
    Confirm monster temperament.
    Review terminology.

    While monster owners such as yourself are not allowed direct entry into the battle cages, you may view your match or give orders from a special platform located conveniently behind each enclosure.

    While most monsters possess no feral skills upon capture, there are rare cases when a subject will already be blessed with one or two skills.

    FP is the abbreviation for feral points. These points are used when assigning feral skills to monsters.
    Every monster has a different FP capacity, and once that capacity is reached, additional feral skills can no longer be assigned.
    Feral skills will generally improve after a monster's continued participation in Pankration events.

    "Alright, Pankration fans, the match is about to begin!
    And in the blue corner is...
    And in the red corner is our reigning champion...

    And our winner is ____
    And the match is a draw!
    Alright, Pankration fans... Until next time, this is your announcer, signing off!"

    In addition, most feral skills have levels, with higher-level skills yielding better results. However, keep in mind that there are some feral skills which never increase in level.
    In addition, there are some attributes which are more clearly defined than others. These are called feral skillsand can be used to enhance monsters of differing families.

    Most monsters range from wild to tame, and defensive to aggressive. A monster's temperament greatly affects its battle style.
    Of course, there exist monsters with wills too strong to be trapped in _____. Ask your fellow adventurers for hints on which monsters fall into this category.
    Oh, and remember, I'm not allowed to buy back jettons, so don't go getting any hair-brained ideas about trying to make a living off of this Pit fighting craze.
    Once you have received the results for your monster's previous match, you must wait until midnight (Vana'diel time) before singing up again.
    Paging ?Player Name?...
    Your monster's match is about to commence.
    Please proceed to Battle Cage [Annihilation/Bloodlust/Carnage/Diablo]
    Pankration (pan-krat-ee-on) is a battle venue in which you can “pit” your very own monsters against the monsters of others.
    Pankration has a long list of terminology unique to the sport.
    Please note that there are some_____ that I am not yet skilled enough to handle. I will inform you in the event you bring one of these.
    Some feral skills have job, monster family, and level restrictions and cannot be assigned to monsters who do not meet certain requirements.

    Isn't there a difference between H2H and bludgeon or something? (At least for avatars.) Maybe that's what it is?
    Also, does this confirm that archaics aren't arcana?

    EDIT: nvm, I'm slow. >_> I asked "wtf is angler and gigant toad" here, in case you were wondering.

    Its silly, but this actually sounds like it might be kind of fun. At the least it'll be a nice diversion when I don't have much else going on. I'm sick of the cycle through the AH mini-game.
