Five gladiators and Octavia the Gladiatrix stand in the arena as they salute the Emperor Caligula. Each gladiator introduces himself to you and explains the crimes he has committed and how many men he has in the arena. Octavia was sent to the arena because she slew the Emperor's favorite nephew when he tried to her. Octavia thinks that she will only have to fight one man in the arena. But Caligula has secretly instructed all five men to attack her at once.
