The trident finds an opening

[TakeNoPrizners]

I agree, trident to the chest is among my favorite arena kills. It may not be the most practical use of the weapon, since barbed trident tines could get snagged in your ribs and sternum and be a messy chore to retrieve from your body. Putting the trident to your neck as you lie on your back to receive the death stroke may be a wiser move, even if the center spike is the only one of the three tines that pierces flesh. Even so, I prefer sticking my fork into the pecs and breastbone of my defeated opponent. While it's not an instant death, it's guaranteed to be fatal, and it gives the fallen gladiator an excruciating dose of pain before his heart stops. The crowd appreciates the gory death and cheers me as I place my foot on your belly for counter-pressure and jerk the trident out of your carcass. Once again, it has served me well.
