(Gah, I should have caught that! I'll definitely keep it in mind for next match, a little late to change all of that now. Sorry!)

Amaruve's WIS Save: 21, Insight: 21, Effect: 8

Amaruve doesn't run away this time. The psychological warfare stagnates, with neither side gaining an advantage.

Amarubear bites and claws at the satyr in front of him. He needs time to get used to his new form though.

Bite Attack: 12 Damage: 12
Claw Attack: 8 Damage: 13

(Olly.)

"To the end then!"

Olly flourishes her rapier at the bear in front of her before giving it the good poke! Once it lands she dares to grin and add.

"But just so you know, its never too late. If you roll over now, I'll make it 50% of the winnings. My final offer."

Action: Attack w/ Rapier directed on Ama-bear.
Attack: 10 Damage: 6.

Persuasion: 23 vs Amaurave.

Insight: 13, Effect: 3 (Olly's speed is increased 10 ft. on her next turn.)

Amaruve is struck by the rapier, and retaliates! Olly is too nimble to be caught by the lumbering bear.

Bite Attack: 10 Damage: 12
Claw Attack: 13 Damage: 12

(Olly.)

Olly only just manages to avoid a swipe. Even after getting it good twice she knows she cannot keep it up forever. And yet, she stubbornly holds her ground and keeps up the stabbing.

Action: Attack w/ Rapier directed on Ama-bear.
Attack: 23 Damage: 6.

Amaruve also keeps up the routine, hoping that it will eventually turn in his favour.

Bite Attack: 17 Damage: 10
Claw Attack: 18 Damage: 10

He scores two solid blows, putting Olly near the brink of unconsciousness.

(Olly.)

Concentration Save #1: 22.

Concentration Save #2: 17.

Even on the brink of unconsciousness Olly changed tactics to instead dance the dance of the immortal, hoping to at least buy time at this point and yet squeeze out a victory.

Action: Implement Can't Touch This Dance.

-

Olly may be smart enough to change tactics, but Amaruve isn't.

Bite Attack: 12 Damage: 8
Claw Attack: 12 Damage: 11

Olly is close to capturing the flags and winning the match.... (4/5 rounds.)

(Olly.)

(Wait, was that last round truly not end of holding it for the 5th round? Because I've marked at least 1 round of 1st being in the lead(having run off amaurave and capture the flag), and 4 rounds after of direct combat. Or does the count not start until after the 1st round of being the lead? Not complaining, just curious.)

(Yes, that's correct! I must have missed a round somewhere. I swear I don't usually make this many mistakes. :p )

Amaruve is eager to keep fighting... but time has run out! Olly has held control of the flags for long enough, winning the match for her team!

(Prizes and wrap-up will be posted in a few hours.)

(This has certainly been the longest few hours for prizes and wrap up. lol.)

Labyrinth:

Olly perseveres long enough to win the match for her team!
Markus wakes up later after having his wounds tended to. He is given a pouch with 160 gp and gains 1200 xp.
Olly and Vertenya are awarded 400 gp and 1800 xp. They are also given the opportunity to choose a special prize!

Tier 1:

Olly's chest:

Vertenya's chest:

 @I_Love_Tarrasques:

 (Sorry for the wait! Anyways, just post below with whatever prize you choose.)

(I think the staff of the Adder is on the no-touch list, so Olly will take the Light Crossbow, +1!)

(I believe you're thinking of the Staff of the Python, a similarly named magic item that is not allowed. The Staff of the Adder, on the other hand, is more or less just a special melee weapon, so it is allowed if you would prefer it.)
(Be aware that the staff of the adder, if you do choose to take it, doesn't have the finesse property, so it would require STR for attack rolls.)

(EDIT: Doesn't matter since you're not taking it anyways, but the Staff of the Adder has attunement class restrictions which Olly doesn't meet, so it would be useless to her.)

(Oh! Huh, well, I stick with the crossbow then! Usually if a bard like mines is in melee, something went terribly, terribly wrong, and its not getting better anyhow.)

(Match will start 48 hours after current level 5 match ends.)

The next match will feature any interested level 6 characters!

The coliseum earthworkers have created an idyllic scene of nature in the fighting grounds. An overgrown bog sprawls across the arena with a slow stale river cutting through the center. Wooden bridges cross hear and there. Untamed shrubs on the islands block sight of many areas. The river is deep, if not at a bridge, one could still swim across.

To win... 3... fight! Aggressive enemies will join the battle every three rounds. Defeat your opponents before you are overwhelmed.

The time is... 2... evening. It's getting late and the shadows grow longer. Perception checks relying on sight will have disadvantage, even with darkvision.

Map 8: Bog

Map Key:

If you wish to join this battle, choose a starting position in row one, make any final preparations, and roll initiative when ready. Every one starts each match with one Potion of Healing.

Tier 1:

"Take any one item. We're well equipped." The room contains every item from Chapter 5 of the Player's Handbook weighing 70 pounds or less, armor of varying sizes, instruments, tool kits. There are also spell scrolls, every first level spell is present (as well as spell scrolls of a level for which a magic user of the characters new level would have slots for), and an encyclopedia of knowledge. Reading these books will grant you proficiency with any one tool kit or any one language, depending which book you choose. The books are magically infused to allow easy retention, but the magic is lost once used.

 Upper Tiers:

The victor may choose instead, an item from a magically infused chest that summons 10 randomly selected magic items to choose from (rarity determined by level). Alternatively they may exchange a magic item they already poses for another item of their choosing of the same rarity or lower, (if the administrator has the requested item in his extensive collection.) "You name it, we've probably got one somewhere."

Olly's chest:

Spell Scroll (hypnotic pattern), Rope of Climbing, Spell Scroll (Vampiric Touch), Ring of Water Walking, Spell Scroll (Blindness/Deafness), Crossbow, Light, +1, Sentinel Shield, Potion of Healing (Greater), Philter of Love, Staff of the Adder

Vertenya's chest:

Potion of Healing (Greater), Pipes of Haunting, Potion of Hill Giant Strength, Potion of Healing (Greater), Periapt of Health, Potion of Healing (Greater), Shield, +1, Lance, +1, Ring of Jumping, Bag of Holding

 @I_Love_Tarrasques:

A few notes regarding flying: Aarakocra are unable to fly if they are wearing medium or heavy armour. I forgot about this rule for this match, but it will be enforced in the future. Additionally, in future matches if Vertenya flies more than about 40 ft. above the battlefield, she will be considered to have abandoned the battle and forfeited. This is just to make the battles more interesting and avoid Vertenya flying off to somewhere where she can't be reached by other characters.

Also be aware that a bow is a two-handed weapon, so you can't carry a shield at the same time.

 (Sorry for the wait! Anyways, just post below with whatever prize you choose.)

 I'll take the wand of magic missiles and change my race to lightfoot halfling

(Pretty sure changing races this late isn’t allowed.)

(I would agree that normally this would not be allowed. However, given that I_Love_Tarrasques had different ideas about flight than what the Coliseum has gone with, I will make this an exception and allow Vertenya to be a halfling instead.)

(Also, there is no wand of magic missile in your chest. Please choose a prize from among the ten listed.)
