The Gladiators pay clerics of Oratillor in advance to heal them should they die in the arena. However, healing and especially resurrections can be quite expensive, so starting out gladiators often can't afford it. Some refuse to buy it at all. The average price for a raise dead spell is 3000 gp, in advance.

If a gladiator fails a morale check, he surrenders (there's nowhere to run)
