Arys looks over his shoulder to see a hulking, monstrous figure behind him. From descriptions in stories, he knew what this being was but could hardly believe it.
Aye, he says, they're exactly who I mean.
He nods in answer to the young woman's question and swallows his tankard of ale in a single gulp, wiping his mouth on his sleeve. As he follows behind her, he sizes up the Goliath beside him wary but unafraid. He had to prove himself first.
Once the dust settles from the earlier fight a group of magic users enter the arena and reshape it. They Mold Earth and Stone Shape. They even Plant Growth and Fabricate. It seems some of the fans in attendance appreciate this work most of all. (Zombonies get a lot of love)
The hour: 2... A few hours have passed before this fight begins it is late afternoon, the shadows grow long.
The victor will emerge after the best of 3 rounds. Our beloved announcer stands in the center introducing two new combatants to the waiting fans.
An enormous man steps into the arena wearing a surprisingly colorful costume, underneath you can see the edge of some light armor. He's beating a rhythm on a drum and has a longsword visible on his belt.
From the other side of the arena a big red Dragonborn steps out of the tunnel. He's obviously come to fight. He wears heavy chainmail armor, and has a shield ready on his arm. The longsword on bis belt shows signs of wear and use, but has clearly been well cared for.
"Here we have our contestants, one born of blood and fire, born again of thunder and lightning. Decked in steel, the fire breathing beast... Arys Storrrm Forrrged!"
"Meeting him in the ring, from the coldest and most brutal mountain peaks, beating the drums of war. Lock up your daughters. They don't come more tall, dark, or handsome... Klong... the Bangerrr"
I wide field reminiscent of a distant battle field outside a makeshift encampment. The turf, heavily trodden, struggles to cling to life as the season nears its end. Large bowlders lie in the field by strurdy trees. There are low stone walls and tall fortifications fashioned of sharpened wooden posts.
(BDaddLy hands you figurines that bear a remarkable resemblance to Arys and Klong ('A' and 'K'). Place them on the map (edit: in the top and bottom row) (secretly if you wish) Roll for initiative and make any final preparations.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As his name is called, Arys walks forward, to the northern gates, waiting for it to be opened. He makes makes a few practice jabs and swings while he waits for the contest of strength to begin. His scales bristle and raise slightly from a mix of impatience and anticipation.
Hmmm ... i hope these fighters are worth the challenge. barks a man from the crowd. YOU GIRL SHOW ME HOW TO JOIN! he lets off a roar of laughter. smacking the guy beside him on the back.
(surprisingly enough he seems kinda young to be talking that tough, everyone can see his shined up chainmail and sword sitting in the seat on the other side of him.shoulder length brown hair , and piercing hazel eyes)

The girl looks a bit annoyed, but not at all surprised. This isn't the first time someone has shouted at her from the crowd.
She wads up a sheet of paper and throws it at him. "I hope you've got your letters! If you need help spelling your name I'm sure someone can assist you!"

"Oh boi oh boi oh boi", Klong steps out of the southern gate, chanting merrily to the beating of his drum, hitting it with the back of his the swords hilt. He waves at the crowd. "Ma says im handsome too!"
(Since i won the initiative ill just write my turn down here yeah?)
Druming in the beat of his own footsteps, Klong walks out from the gates. Looking around for "The dragon man", he walks around the wall that meets him as he exits the prep room. Not seeing his opponent he just smiles at the crowd. "Look.. Klong go bang", he shouts and smashes the flat side of his blade onto the drum, smiling at the audience.
Movement: Klong walks out from the gate at G-16, around the left side of the wall and stops at K-14.
Action: Klong uses the Thunderclap cantrip just for show.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
As Klong notices the dragonborn his big smile turns into a more of a pouty five year old face.
"YOU´RE STUPID! EVERYONE HERE THINKS YOU ARE A STUPID LIZARD", he mumbles under his breath still beating the drum with the sword hilt, looking straight at Arys. He stands completely still while doing this.

Arys leaves the gate (at J1) then dash to the left and then turns forward (to 6H). As he comes to a stop, he takes a battle stance
"Good luck, my large friend!", Arys shouts across the battlefield.

Thunder roars through the arena and the crowd gasps. "Our combatants approach with such power."
You can see each other directly across the low wall in the center of the field. You are about 45 feet apart.

"The mood sours. It looks like Klong is casting a spell!" The crowd stills in anticipation.
Successful save for half damage (4). You resist the urge to flee.

Arys runs forward to the low wall (@8.5H) and draws his light crossbow.
He fires at Klong

"I don't know what that spell did, but Arys is off his game. The shot flies wide. It looks like he's got his hands full."
(It should normally take an action to doff your shield before you'd be able to use a two handed weapon. I suppose the attempt caused the poor shot.)
Arys takes cover behind the low-wall which offers him half-cover
