Grianne awakens in darkness. Why is it dark? Last she remembered she was about to give her boyfriend an elemental beating. She tries to move but finds herself restricted. Finding herself pinned, she shifts into a more physically adept form and breaks her way free of the rubble were the Coliseum once stood. Looking around at the destruction, she cant help but worry were Eldin is. She cries out to him in Hope's if a response.

There's no response at first. Then there's a low groan. Some of the rubble moves and then Eldin's green hand pushes them aside. Using his magic rapier as a crutch Eldin slowly stands up. He looks worse for wear but it seems like he will be alright. His Amulet of Health really saved him this time. He coughs and then waves to Grianne.

Grianne rushes to his side, You look awful. Here, let me see if I can fix some of your buttons. Grianne would use her healing magic to mend Eldins wounds. She then gently kissed him on the forehead. All better? Now, let's see if we can figure out what happened. I dont think this is the calamity I've been envisioning, but it's close enough.

Eldin says, "Don't worry about me. Are you alright?" He then looks at the destruction around and says, "Agreed. Let's see what happened."

As Grianne's healing magic closes some of his more serious wounds, he stands straight and sheathes his rapier. "... Thanks I needed that."

Another slab of concrete begins to shake violently, and it’s forcefully shoved up and away.  An irate looking half-orc looks around in confusion, his hands searching for his hammer.

(I guess this guy need some to be here)

Also from the rubble, a bit of dust swirls. 3 rocks magically fly away, conveniently landing very close to the orc (from the previous post) with a loud Thud. The Magic Top Hat strains himself, and a magical shield disappears from him and his cart. He smirks. “Never fear! The Great Mag- The Magic Top Hat is here!”

Banjo Man reached the mansion, and had a seat by the door. He continued his totally radical banjo solo, and greeted the passerby. Of course, a friendly greeting is a lot less friendly-looking when the greeter looks like a shrivelled corpse in overalls and a straw hat. He was a fine banjo player, though, so that was good.

Performance, just to gauge how good the banjo playing was:

4

The tune itself was strange and unpredictable, with an almost alien sound. That certainly didn't impede it from sounding nice, though, and Banjo Man's technical skill with the banjo was moderately impressive.

Eider helps all who need it allowing any and all who arrive drink, food and rest.

(OOC: With what we have the only match I could run would be Toren v Grianne for title of champion. There are no other 2 characters who share a level in the Arena.)

(Well that’s funny. Hm... yeah, that sucks :) )

(I tried, but there were too many people)

(Guess people enjoy the coliseum :) )

((So, the way I see it, there are a few ways to fix the levels problem:

1. Wait for more people to join. Probably some people haven't seen the campaign link, so we should make sure it's out there to be seen. Also, the first Reborn campaign link is now full, so another one should be set up. Maybe PMs should be sent to those who have recently been active. In the meantime, we can do level 13 and level 2 matches.

2. Do multi-level matches. This would be awkward, but if strategically organized would help bring people to the same levels.

3. If we can't get more people at same levels, we could reset everyone to level 3 (or move Tier to level, ie. level 13 to level 3, level 4 to level 1.) This would be a pretty drastic solution, but it could work if it's what everyone wants.

4. Think up some amazing plan that solves all of these problems.))

If you'd like the thread title changed, the OP chsnged, or any other changes, I'll be happy to accommodate.

Resetting everyone to level three is probably the right line of thinking. Maybe rather bump everyone below three up, and grant each one tier-1 prize and possibly an uncommon of the players choice.

What ever route you take you might want to either post an update in the main thread or start a new thread. "Coliseum of Conquest - Under New Management." I can add links in the OP.

It could be what destroyed the coliseum! Like... monster hunting! :)

(Yeah i kinda thought we would run into that issue, so i made a new char. We can rp the rebuild and have that be the level ups till we get enough)

(In any case I think we need a new campaign link because the current one is full.)

Ashiera appears from the rubble of a building. "What in the nine hells happened?"

You tell me! I came for fights! Where's the ring? Magic too strong? You ok? What be you name? Me Bad fire, bad chieftan, lts fire...

This small goblin before Ashiera noticably has burn marks across his body, like a spray of paint but of charred skin that may never gain its color back from the crispy looking blackness across half of his head, leaving but a rim at the base of the ear and a burned hole at the center underneath his scraggly feathered headdress,  obviously also damaged, along with the leather and bone clothing he wears, though sparse.

As he speaks, he looses himself in thought..

Yes! Bad chieftan, lots fire! Thats what they all say anyway. Still chieftan though.

he cackles to himself wildly, then offers Ashiera a hand, (right hand, specifically) and you notice the same charred coloration, which overtakes his pinky finger completely to the knuckle thats just a nub, and a ring finger burned off as well to the lower knuckle.

you do this? Very strong. You teach me?

Is anyone seriously injured ? Grianne calls out to those appearing from under the exploded fighting arena. She will administer healing if needed and summons a pack of dogs. She leans into them and makes odd,almost dog like noises as if speaking to them in an actual spoken language they can understand. After she finishes the dogs scatter. They should be able to find anyone trapped under the rocks. Grianne says to Eldin and anyone near by.

Eldin says, "Good thinking. I have healing spells prepared so I can help you care for the wounded." Eldin will also cast healing spells on anyone who needs it.
