2 synergized level-4 humans. With one magic item and one piece of mundane equipment beyond starting equipment between them (Gauntlets of Ogre Power, and Plate Armor.) Plus a bonus of 8 max HP each as though they had the toughness feet.
Daisy 2 druid 2 barbarian with no gear except a stick and a shield. Her human feat (Sentinel) allows her to retaliate when someone attacks Adair. (I should have started her as a bear but the tiger tanks better and seems cooler. The bear's damage would have been better.)
She was initially going to have 8 strength and dex which prompted her basic description, weak and frail. However to Multi class barbarian she needs 13 strength so her sheet legitimately has 13 2strength with 27 point buy reducing her to average intelligence. Though her own strength was never a factor in the battle.
Adair 4 paladin her human feat (mounted combatant) allows her to force attacks against Daisy to hit her, and her AC, instead. She also has 8 STR but she is equipped with the gauntlet so her functional strength is 19. In hind sight her 21 AC was too easy to hit. I should have rolled her more toward defense, but I didn't want It to be too frustrating to hit her with 26 AC or more. Instead I took Pole Arm Master to improve her offense. I won't underestimate you if someone requests an OP character fight from me again.
Further behind the screen:
Daisy was originally a level-20 druid played by Matthias_Von_Schwarzwald here on the forums. She fought in a single battle against a CR-35 boss, Hecatonnecheir, who attacks 10 times on his turn. I played her rider (who was not Adair). We defeated the boss in 4 rounds and were never hit. A level 20 druid of the moon can wild shape an unlimited number if times, and so, if she were reduced near 0 hp she would have shifted forms and never been harmed. That was the plan. But her rider, who had the mounted combatant feat, was never hit so neither was she.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Next fight will be between Viator, Toren, Zævrt, and 'Ladybug'... 3... Viator and Zævrt vs. Toren and 'Ladybug'. I'll post later today. Feel free to continue what you're doing til then.
Down in the medics bay the head medic is checking the girls out. They were revived before they came down, but some of the arena staff have particular interest in these competitors well being. Josias and the secretary come in to check in on them. The announcer's there already, giving one of the girls a thorough talking to.
The secretary interjects. "Shouldn't you be working, Basil? There's a big crowd up there."
Up in the stands some of the patrons are being ushered to new seats. Lairin is very irate, to be made to move. Around the ruckus the arena shapers have gone to work reshaping an area of the stadium. The people are almost as fascinated by this activity as they are a battle, some of them more so.

josias gives a quizzical look to the secretary and announcer. wondering which one is really in charge. percepetion check to see if josias can notice why all the people are here. 13

Basil's face sours, "Stop encouraging them!" He grumbles as he moves off to do his work.
The secretary smiles at the girls. "You did do very well girls. Maybe bit off a bit too much though... Anyway, Adair, this young man has a job for you. You'll start tomorrow."
josias is completely caught off guard. well ... umm.. this is your daughter. well i cant say im not surprised. cause i am. in fact i dont believe a pair should be split up. i want to hire both of you.

Daisy pulls a piece of tree bark from her hair and starts chewing on it as she mumbles. "What's the job? You need some killed? Its not really my thing, but its not beneath me."
Adair still looks very well kept especially considering she's just been twice knocked unconscious.
HAHAHA far from it or not so far from it. i want to hire you two to help with a new business that will be opening here at the coliseum. you wont have to fight unless its in your own defense or if (nudging his head towards the others) they will allow you fight again. which one has nothing to do with me. the other tho. has everything to do with me. if someone attacks either of you while working for me they will be dealt with directly. he kneels in between the girls. looking kind as possible. so what do you girls say? want a the job?

The next battle will pit Viator and Zævrt against Toren and 'Ladybug'
This is one round 2-v-2 with... 1 King of the Hill. 3 rounds before the flag (¥) is active. 5 more rounds to capture the hill, or last team standing.
The time: 1.....The weather has begun to clear. It is mid-afternoon, and bright sun light is a welcome change. The fans are energetic in the stands.
The competitors enter. Viator clad in shining plate. Zævrt craving the love of the crowd. Toren face smudged with ink, and 'Ladybug' hoping to find a place he belongs.
"Have we got a show for you today! Magic reins! These 4 each feels its touch. And they each found a different source. Searching within himself, using the energy within to effect the world... Laynaar Lady Bug!"
"Supporting the dragon in battle. A man who draws his magic from books. Through careful study he's learned to control the threads of power in the universe... Toren Tickle Whiskers!"
"They'll face a foe who's magic is a gift, a gift granted with a bargain, a bargain with some unknown force of darkness... Zay Vrit!"
"Darkness supported by the light. His power is a gift granted by divine powers... Viator Vir!"
The arena has been reformed. The ground has long lush grass growing in thick muddy soil. The center of the field is dominated with an enormous glacier. The area is dotted with a few flimsy trees adorned with icicles rather than leaves. The walls of the glacier are a mixture of ice and soil and snow. On its surface are erratic, jagged walls of wind-blown ice spikes, and in its center is an island in a lake of smooth ice. The flag (%) stands there. Moving on the ice is difficult, and attempts to trip or push characters on the ice will have advantage.

Adair politely agrees, "of course, I'll have everything in order for you in the morning."
