>A wealthy countess of noble blood begins buying successful gladiators by the dozens

For what purpose?

Gladiating, obviously.

A gangbang so grandiose that it would forever more be called the big bang.

She likes reverse-harems and can afford them?

Or maybe she's a cultist who needs the blood of strong individuals in order to summon a demon that will help her family rise to the top and assume control of the region.

Broodstock. She's come across a gifted scholar on matters of genetic descent, and is willing to play the long game if it means having the best army around.

>Better trained than your daily footmen
>Arguably more loyal than some mercenaries
>Prestige in owning successful gladiators, like derby winning horses
>Money for letting them fight or for fucking other rich cunts
>Maybe she is planing to get a Monopole on gladiator fights and is starting something like the WWE
>To sacrifice them for some ritual

personal events
sexual fulfillments
new job as bodyguards/grunts
sponsorship
rivalry with other nobles trying to do the same for unknown reasons
ritual sacrifices

>Jewery mass media agenda

Cultural enrichment.

As always, first post best post.

Seriously, why overcomplicating things?

Why would her buy sex objects be relevant to any story that would involve players without forcing a magical realm? All you lewd cunts need to think first.

Also that bitch in OP pic has the most ugly face I have ever seen. Seriously close up on that bitches face. Damn she ugly. Nice tits but I wouldn't bang her unless for big money.

First post is the best post. If you want something more elaborate maby she wants a personal army for some political reason, bitches tryna gain power over the city while being a mean bitch who pissed off the PCs so they have reason to stop her.

>She purchases 48 gladiators
>She has her wizard transfer their memories into her
>She now has the memories of 48 gladiators bouncing around inside her head

wat happen

Is there a common theme in their skillset? Have they had success fighting monsters in particular, humans in particular, etc.? She may be looking for specialized, disposable warriors.

If you're buying gladiators as sex objects, you are probably a goddamn moron. Do you know how expensive a successful gladiator would be? That's like buying a dildo that has rubies inside it.

>niggers in the mediterranean

Probably body guards, or to start her own stable.

Yes, and?

>her own stable

What is this?

>Yes, and
shit gm detected

DUBBA-U DUBBA -U EEEEEEEEh

an excuse to create your own private elite militia. You're not buying a mercenary army, you're just buying warriors for the arena to fight for your profit and entertainment of the people. If the emperor happens to suddenly die and your beloved gladiators just happen to be positioned around the senate forcing them to vote you in as the new emperor...well that's just random coincidence.

I don't know, status symbol or some similar bollocks to show off. They guard the entrance during the day and please the countess during the night.

>Plot Seed
More like plot for seed, amirightfellas?

What other kind of countess is there?

Actually, apparently some women DID pay to have sex with gladiators, even rich ones.
One Roman noted that sometimes even the ugliest foreign motherfucker ever could make it with any Roman woman as long as he was a gladiator.

Why's it always gotta be about sex with you

>ANOTHER thinly veiled "ancient women loved BBC" thread
Do we get a lot of these? I'm on Veeky Forums every day and I can't recall a single one.

A team of gladiators was sometimes referred to as a 'stable.'

If a rich person wants to spend obscene amounts of money on a ruby encrusted dildo or a stable of Gladiators so what?

she buys them under the veil of attending and enjoying the gladiatorial games, she builds a large base as training quarters for this purpose
but what she is really after is to be able select and use some of them as disposable assassins&spies against political opponents.

the ones being used as assassins are always bought from another city anonymously and trained&kept in a different area in case they get caught by authorities. they are offered their freedom and a lot of money if they do a set number of jobs for the countess but they are killed off secretly once the countess is done with them.

you might also throw in some orgy stuff in there if you are into that kind of deal

The nile is a highway connecting central africa with the meditteranee. Its not that strange. The saharra wasnt as big as it is today as well making Trans Saharran trade more proffitable and less harsh

>African gets captured in tribal warfare
>Gets sold to some slave trader
>slave trader needs to sell slaves in bulk, where better to do it than the largest slave market in the world where people always look for something exotic.
>Be shipped of across the Sahara to Rome or Cartage or Alexandria


Its like you know nothing about history

She is a time traveler and misses watching the gay pron, obviously.

There were plenty of nigs in the med, dude.

She was binge-watching Spartacus

PTSD & suicide

Obviously as bodyguards for her many children. I admit it seems a little excessive, her sons (not to mention her daughters) are all growing into strapping, muscular athletes and soldiers. I don't know how her old geezer of a husband does it, he's so old he ban barely walk or speak, but kudos to the man.

>Better trained than your daily footman

She wants to get GAULED

prolly for murdering
or rebeling
some conspiracy
that or just making money

She's going to bring them to an island and make them kill eachother,spoopy right?

She's about to do some very serious crimes, and she knows about the states rules about trial by battle. If she owns all the best champions, who will defeat her? This is protection in case she gets caught.

To make gladiator price artificially higher.
She will then sell them at profit.

How do we know? She did it with racing horses last year. And with charioteers they year before.

She wants the D.

if we're gonna have magical realm threads classical history realm seems pretty benign.

In Rome, gladiatorial fights were rarely to the death, and successful gladiators were actually pretty big celebrities.

The purpose of gladiators wasn't actually to kill each other, but to entertain.
