Quote from LordShadowthorn >>

(It’s rigged.)

 I don't know what you're talking about.

One of Kaplony's Shields becomes Pipes of Haunting

As for the token, no. We're doing tokens in even levels this time as Orileo has begun the trend.

(ooc: if I get no reroll I'll take the Broom of Flying but I might take the reroll item if I think it's better?)

so Broom of Flying it is

(The re-troll will never be better.)

The next match will feature any interested level-5 competitors. The match will begin within 48 hours.

To win: 2... Control Points: 4 flags (¥) in the arena are available to capture. Begin and end your turn within ten feet of the flag to capture the point. Control all four points to win, or control more points than your opponent for 5 rounds. The flags will not be available to capture in the first round.

The conditions: 1... Day, the sun shines high in the sky, and the battlefield is brightly lit.

Near the center of town along the entrance to Gewonnt's shrine, a monumental marble tower stands in a well kept courtyard surrounded by clean marble halls. Within the tower is a simple wooden dais. The courtyard is inset a few steps below the outer walkways and the interior of the tower is yet a few steps below that. The tower is 30 feet tall and topped with a copper dome.

(The dais can grant advantage and cause disadvantage favoring the high ground when fighting in melee against a target you can see. Also the ledge restricts movement in one direction.)

Dorkas walks in after a stint 2 

start g12 

Koplony will start at B1.

Initiative: 10

https://ddb.ac/characters/28995470/PIh2G1

Several hours before the match Koplony will cast Mage Armor on himself and then take a short rest to use Arcane Recovery and get the spell slot back. Also, his 1 round prep will be to cast Mirror Image on himself.

Round 1 prep green flame sword 

Horatio enters the arena, as usual carrying his shield and wand. 

Initiative: 12

This time he's less eager to rush forward, and instead shivers nervously behind the starting walls, trying to avoid calling attention to himself.

Stealth: 15

Before the fight starts, he plays with some small rocks on the ground, imbuing them with primal power. He drops the heaviest stone on his foot. A short cry of pain echoes from G1.

His wand of magic missiles has regained 5 charges since last he used it, putting it back at full power.

(I thought Legion4 had retired Dorkas and was now playing as Markus?)

(He did.  He even played one full match as Markus.)

Initiative: 4

Nock will start at C1.  He'll (probably) cast bless on (TBA) as prep.

Sha'kar enters the prep room, magic armor shimmering over his skin, Oh on his shoulder as always.

Initiaitive: 13

As the match is about to begin, he casts False Life (2nd Level Spell Slot, 13) and begins his Bladesong.

Start at G1

Kulum comes right over just after his loss and readies himself to Dash out to the flag when the match begins.

Initiative:9

Starting at I1

(Is Dorkas allowed to un-retire?  I was under the impression that once you played a match on a new character you couldn’t go back.)

The competitors enter the battlefield. There is still some commotion nearby as people carry the girl who fell from the sky, back toward the school, yet the competitors here are focused on the battle ahead.

Horatio Hirschfeld, the timid naturalist

Sha'kar Menoth, the bold blue bastion

Koplony, the graceful blade

Kulum, the savage brute

Nock Markonus, Shadowward, the unstoppable force

Dorkas Frostwalker, the absentminded swordsman

Horatio will fight along side (6) Dorkas, and (3) Koplony

Once everyone is in place the now familiar weathered voice calls out, marking the begining of the match. "Five... Four... ... Begin!" 

Horatio is startled, crying out as he drops a stone on his foot. Sha'kar begins moving as if in a dance. Koplony divided his attention and his form. Nock gives his allies his god's blessing. Dorkas prepares to strike whomever may be on the other side of the gate. The gates spring open! Kulum darts out blindly into the fray.

(Horatio, Koplony, and Dorkas are up!)

 (Not normally, no. If he does that will be the end for Markus. I'll let Legion decide which character to keep.)

Movent to l3 

action dash to o5 

bouns rally kop 9 

Horatio, his toes still smarting, follows in Dorkas' path and moves to I3. He surveys the arena, then yells out to his adversaries. "You'll be, uh, shocked to find out what I have up my sleeve this time!"
Steam billows out of his tunic's sleeve, rising into the air to form a dark cloud. The jet of steam just keeps pumping out more water droplets until the cloud is so large it covers the entire arena!(Except A12.) The cloud churns violently above Nock, and suddenly lightning strikes from above!

DC 14 DEX for half of 15 lightning damage.

Horatio then uses the rest of his turn to move to L2.

(Am I able to be targeted behind a wall?)

Nock will cast bless on himself and his team as prep.

Dex save: 10(2)

Concentration: 21(4

 Koplony will move to C3 and take the Dodge action.

(end turn)

(Does a storm cloud covering the entire arena dim the light any? :D.  But yah, I'm not sureyou can hit Nock with lightning.  Says to pick a point you can see, and looks like there's walls between you and nock.)
