Instead of making it a probability like 1 in 20, it should probably be
based on the total amount of damage taken.  Maybe if a gladiator is reduced
to -3 or -4 hits, he dies.  (I'm not exactly sure how the damage system
works, so I'm guessing at something that seems reasonable.)  This number
should be low enough that it is only reached when the loser has been reduced
to critical, and then gets hit by an attack that does a lot of damage.
(And deaths should be listed in the news, so we know who we should stop
sending challenges to.  =B^)

If there was a set 1/20 probability of dying, even a gladiator who wins
70% of his matches (more than the highest ranked ones have been doing) would
probably die before he reaches 70 wins.
