(Nope, since it's only when you advance to odd levels)

(@Persuasion: Ah! Good to know. So, what's the next level match? *.*)

(The mighty)

(I'm confused) 

(NEIN)

(@Kenuex: Level 9 Match.)

(I'm interested, tell me more.)

The next match has been announced for level NEIN competitors.

To win... 4, Survival. A deadly foe will enter the battlefield after 5 rounds. Defeat your enemies before then or die trying...

The time... 2, Dusk. The stones glow softly, filling the arena with dim light. Checks relying on sight will be made at disadvantage without Darkvision.

"Welcome, everyone, to the new repurposed definitely-not-from-the-drow farm belonging to Gell Incorporated. Please enjoy our wonderful amenities, which include a single lever that you should definitely pull."

The arena seems simply made, a few doors, some walls, and two levers. Those who fly above it see something very interesting...

(To join, pick a position in row 1, make any final preparations, and roll initiative)

Key: '=' Stone wall (15 ft), '%' Door, '/' Lever (Has a small note saying "Pull me :)" on it)

Og will start at H1 (Init: 14), and disappear into an impenetrable orb of blackness.

Right before he disappears, he seems to shatter into four pieces.

(@LST How'ja rename them? :o)

(It was announced in a changelog about a month ago.  You just type something like this (without spaces) [ spell ]darkness;blackness[ /spell ].  Works for everything, as far as I can tell.  A very nice quality of life change.  I had to create an entire new version of a homebrew once because the form of condition I used wasn't the one the tooltip recognized.)

(For instance, you can do things like this.)

oh wow this is really cool

(Indeed.)

Let Me Try!

Rothander enters this new arena and takes a place at I1. Saying a small prayer he starts to faint smell of smoke as the God of the forge grants him protection. 

Initiative 8

(Shield of faith)

Gell's Farm Round 0:

As the competitors walk into the arena, they see Gell standing where Barosh usually would. He is wearing the same farmers clothing as in the postcard, and is chewing on a long piece of grass.

"Welcome to tonight's main event! In one corner, well, really a side to be exact, since neither of our competitors chose to stand in a corner, Rothaaander Fireforge! In the other, Oggguimash, the Masher! Who will win between these two armored titans? Will it be Rothander? Will it be Ogguimash? Will it be me? I want to wish good luck to both our - AGHH"

He cuts off suddenly as a burst of fire tears through his chest, and he dissolves into snow that quickly melts into water. Barosh steps up, shaking his head.

"I told you we should have gotten rid of that simulacrum before it escaped, I told you that we aren't allowed to keep pets here, especially not ones that look like our competitors. I don't care how much you wanted someone to read you the Book of Vile Darkness before bed, do it yourself, you're a grown wizard for my sake.

Well, since you're all here anyways, you might as well get to the part where you're killing each other. Good luck, and do your best not to die. If you do, then your friends might find a doppleganger in your place..."

(Begin! Rothander is up)

Rothander moves forward opening the door. He then moves to I3 and pulls the leaver. He will continue on to J5. "Lad lets get this started."

Og will move to K13 and Dodge.

Rothander moves to L5 and hurls his new Warhammer to L13. Upon landing the Warhammer explodes in a smallish fireball 12 Dex 15 for half. He then quickly moves back to J5 

(The weapon is the Sunforger)

(The what now?)
