A young man, in a handsome outfit of pinned leather and fine, colourful cloth dashes out to the Coliseum holding with him a handheld horn and a lute, however the only noticeable difference due to the circumstances is his long luscious blonde hair that he's tied back.
He stands pretty normally more confused than he is ready to fight. Intiative-18
A lizardman of prodigious size and strength enters into the pit. He wears a heavy obsidian plate armor with visages of skulls carved into the pauldrons. On his head he wears a headress made from a jaguar skull and long, beautiful blue and green feathers. Flowing behind him is a cape made from a jaguar pelt.
Zacazotal prepares himself for battle as he dons a vicious macahuitl and a shield with the image of a winged serpent circling a hound with lighting in its mouth and four long feathers jutting from the bottom of the shield. He utters a prayer to Kukulkan and his body becomes sheathed in the glimmering image of scales and feathers (Shield of Faith). He flexes his muscles and lets out a roar that causes the ground to rumble! (Thaumaturgy)

Dame Elspeth Grace, Knight of the Unicorn, Third Eye of the North and Lady of the Green, enters the coliseum. Her appearance is markedly more threatening than it was before. Her hair is tied back and covered by the greenish-grey hood of a cloak of elvenkind. Two shortswords and a quiver of arrows are strapped to her back within easy reach. A sheathed rapier is securely attached to her belt and she carries a sturdy wooden longbow. "Time for them to find out how a real knight fights."

Eldin tries to cast False Life but... he just can't he can't harness the magic. He looks up at the sky and says with a defeated grin, "Can't have that spell eh? Alright then. Let's see what you have in store for me." With a large number of his spells gone, he falls back on whatever he has left of his roguish talents.
Dreadwood, Scout and Operative of the Red Knight, takes their place in the coliseum. The lithe construct composed of some type of redwood sheathed in tarnished iron plating sizes up their potential opponents. By design, the visor left little to be seen of its face or maker's mark, though a dull red light leaked from within usual darkened slits and red plume of a tail left it all the more imposing to see. A crimson scarf coils about the neck.
Dreadwood prepared themselves for the contest by donning black plated shield with the image of a red chest piece with stars for eyes. He uttered no typical prayer. But instead, during the final moments left to competitors to prepare themselves, they talked strategy and offered what insights they could, emboldening spirits, and gaining a blessing that transformed their scarf into a translucent and ephemeral mantel at rest on their shoulders. After which, Dreadwood raised a rust red and gold gauntleted hand in the air, awaiting the moment to signal comrades onwards.
Nara squats low with her greatsword resting readily on her shoulder. Her tail slams rhythmically into the dirt, kicking up clouds of dust. On her premiere reentry into the coliseum, Nara looks fully in her element, her body coiled and tensed like a panther, waiting to pounce.

A Strange, Frog looking creature enters the arena. His brown skin appears wet, as he chants in a foreign language. Leather Armor covers his torso and some of his skin on his Arms, as he holds up a crossbow in his hand. He is ready now, as much as he ever will be.
A cyan skinned man arrives into the arena. He was surprised, at first, of how much destruction there was in this town since he arrived. But he ignores all that for now, as he holds up a mace in his hand- he’ll worry about that later.
Casting Mage Armor on himself, he prepares for what’s about to come.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
A lanky elf maiden with raven-black hair and ice-blue eyes walks into the area. She steps off to one side, taking up a position away from the others. She has a longbow,with a quiver of arrows, within easy reach, and two short swords at her hips.

To start this off right, we have a new thread for our beloved Coliseum.
I am having a few errors getting the alignments right. But by Noon (EST) tomorrow I plan to have you all rolling for the First match.
In the meantime, feel free to PM me any prep you'd like.
