For those just joining.

Onex claps his hands together. "Excellent! Just, uh, give me a second." He snaps up the rock, pulls out a vial holding some colorful liquid, and pours it over the rock. Almost immediately began to glow a kaleidoscope of colors before fading out again in a second or two. "And there we are! My greatest work yet. Pleasure doing business with, my boy!" 

Sha'kar takes the rock and, once the glowing stops, wits a few moments then taps it three times to make it glow again.  After a couple more moments he taps it three more times to turn it off (or at least try to.  does tapping it again actually do that? :P)

(Ranmilo, I presume this effect is coming from Xeno's Magical Tinkering, yes?)

(That's what it looks like.  Which will be unfortunate when he uses it enough other times that it stops working :P)

Please, I'm an honest businessman. I would never think to casually swindle people like that. ;) Now if I was playing my real charlatan artificer....

But yes, I am using the magical tinkering feature. Technically on the recording one has the on and off tap feature, but I was taking liberties with the feature a little.

(is cool, I just wanted to make sure onex, who is definitely not Xeno, definitely was utilizing Xeno's resources =P )

A young female half elf enters the glory. "Hello all, Petkoris Fodra at your service. I am here to participate in the arena games."

(@Orileo Hey its good to see you. I'm happy to see some of the old names. Also thank you for letting me know i messed up my link and thank you BDaddLy for posting it correctly.)

(@OpelGT: Now that's a name I haven't seen in a while! The link doesn't seem to be working though. Do you have it closed to the public? Once that's seen to, there may yet still be time that you can join the level 3 match in progress here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/play-by-post/77825-the-arena-of-the-coliseumcoliseum-of-conquest)

A slender human with wicked sideburns walks into the arena. His eyes twinkle as he speaks.

"Greetings, I am Baral. I have sought a place in this glorious Coliseum, and with magic and steel I shall prevail!"

(Hello! I've never tried out PVP before, so I thought it would be a cool experience).

... Vertenya falls out of the sky, taking 34 damage when she hits the ground. The aarakocra is crushed into a bloody splat on the ground, instantly dying. ...

Quote from I_Love_Tarrasques >>

... change my race to lightfoot halfling ...

Down in the dungeons of the academy mad laughter echoes through the halls. Someone is experimenting... Again... Rather than being brought back with a simple Revivify spell the doctor has opted to use the more complicated Reincarnate.

At least it wasn't Raise Dead... This time.

Vertenya emerges from beyond the veil, alive, but changed profoundly forever.

(@RazorDawn: Welcome aboard!)

It appears that I have a lot of catching up to do, glad to see that this is getting lively again

I’m in! https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/SqueegeeLord/characters/33969587

A halfling comes up to baral 

“greetings my friend! Are you looking to enter the colosseum? Cause I am! If we are put against each other, no hard feelings? I think we would make a great team!”

Baral curiously gazes at the halfling. 

"You look like an interesting contestant. A team? It would be nice to have some support. What's your name?"

“Giancarlo rumawits! But you can call me gin rummy! A team would be fantastic! What’s your name?”

Gin jumps up and does a flip as he says his name

“Do ya know when the next match is supposed to happen? I’m itching for a little combat! Wanna spar while we wait? I wanna see if you are actually good at what you do and aren’t all talk. I’m sure your not though, not with those swords you got there! Ahahaha!”

Baral smiles as he listens to the lively halfling. 

"Gin Rummy? That's a fine name. I am Baral- a pleasure to make your acquaintance. You would like to spar? Sure thing. What are the rules that we should decide on?"
