15 meets you take the shield to the face like a champ. Your childhood mentor pops in your head "stop blocking attacks with your face. Remember the 5 Ds of fight dodge, dip dive and ..... uh death ya death make him dead already."
(Everything below is only IF Aino can still see GC on the East platform where she exchanged cannon fire with Casey. Let me know if not.)
Aino suppresses a grin at the sight of GC getting a taste of her own medicine from the bard, but her mind races at GC's words about taking everyone with her if she dies. Does that mean the fourth cannon fires at us if she dies? That she herself explodes? Maybe her gladiators do something? But we need to down her anyway, and she can get to the fourth cannon quicker than we can, perhaps invisibly. And if she explodes, better more than 60' away.
A tiny ball of... something... appears between the pinky and ring fingers of Aino's left hand. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was batshit and sulfur. She flips it up and it becomes a tiny bead, glowing a brilliant orange-red and streaking up to a point 10' above and behind GC (away from Casey).
"Come in with a bang, go out with a bang. This one's for Thumbtack. Bet your Last Copper on it." The bead explodes in a massive ball of roaring flame.
Fireball, 20' radius sphere: DC 16 DEX Save. 35 fire damage on failure, 17 fire damage on success.
(OOC: Aino would like to cast Silvery Barbs as a reaction IF GC succeeds on the DC 16 DEX Save, forcing a re-roll. But I think Aino is just over 60' away which is the range of that spell, being 60' down and a bit away laterally from the east tower where GC is? So I'm assuming she can't.)
The clown image that scared G3 and almost scared the others bursts into maniacal laughter (flavor only), still concentrating on Fear (why not).
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
She had 1 HP so even on a save she is dead.
Your fire ball goes of it a brilliant explosion. GC is thrown from the platform to the center of the arena. Her body burnt and charred rises up.
NO I WILL NOT LOSE.
She snaps her fingers before her body falls to the ground in a heap of ash.
The final cannon goes off. It's a DC 8 Con save. On a fail take 9 lightning damage. On a pass you retake no damage. Casey auto passes you are not on the ground
A black ray of energy strikes the ground. Waves of dark energy goes through the arena.
(OOC Aino's CON Save on her char sheet is +11, but only because bladesong adds her +5 INT bonus only for CON saves to maintain concentration so I added the +5 custom. This CON Save is not to maintain concentration, so it is only a +6. Took out the customization temporarily. Nat. 1 would fail DC8.)
Aino can't resist elbowing G1 and G2 in the ribs lightly as they walk out and making a dad joke. Not that her dad would have said it. Too serious by half. But she imagines some dads would. "Wow, did you see your girlfriend at the end there? She was smoking hot!"
After high-fiving her companions, she reminds everyone to collect their winnings. ROI 125% so a bet of 100 means +125? We bet on ourselves and none of us went unconscious, though it was a close thing. I don't think anyone bet on the round, just winning and staying conscious ourselves.
Aino is delighted to see that with the 1,000gp, she has more than the 2k she needs for her Arcane Grimoire, +2 which she buys and begins reading immediately, fascinated. Attuning to it (+2 on Spell DC and Spell Attack Rolls for wizards).
She does take 10 minutes to cast Find Familiar as a ritual to re-summon Thumbtack, using charcoal and incense thrown into a brass brazier and set alight. The owl fades into existence, looking a little miffed. She proceeds to sulkily preen her feathers, pointedly not looking at Aino.
Woo-hoo, level 6. Bladesingers get Extra Attack, with one attack allowed to be a cantrip like Booming Blade or Green Flame Blade.
Once they collect their reward Storm will walk over to Casey and clap her on the shoulder and heartily says "Thank you for the loan." He hands her 225 gold. He then looks down at his injuries. "Although the armor did not help nearly as much as I would have hoped, perhaps I need to look into one of those magical cloaks as well..."
At the end of the fight, Casey soars into the air with fly , flying around the arena to rev up the crowds- and performs a medley of her favorite songs, enhanced with prestidigitation and minor illusion.
”You can bet your last copper on The Last Copper!” She declares, and flies out with a flourish.
perform 14- clearly a little beat up, but not bad.
“Yer the best crew a girl could ‘ave! That were another tough fight, but a win’s a win, in me book!” Casey says. “Thanks fer repaying the coin Storm, ya ye gots to get one o’ these cloaks, I think. Happy to loan out again if anyone needs. I’m still figurin whot to buy. Some o’ you got some winnings comin from yer side bets too! We gotta watch our backs, fer sure.”

Casey attempts to shoot the cannon. (Note- she will use her inspiration if she flubs this!)
16
With a 16 you have moderate success. You figure out how to unlock and fire the cannon at GC.
Oh no GC was not expecting this and fails her Dex save with a 10.
She will take the full damage. 30 damage total.
She is looking real bad.
"I can't die. If I go I'm taking all of you with me!!!!!"
Order: Aino, GC, Storm, Gladiator 1 (G1), Kileprat, G2, Casey
Aino is up
(No pressure Aino!).
Casey takes off her hat and bows with a flourish to the crowds after successfully firing the cannon. (Just RP fluff)

Casey is in range for silvery barbs and hasn’t used her reaction yet this turn, so IF GC makes the save she has to make it again.
She had 1 HP so even on a save she is dead.

Only 33 on a d 100 not as much of a death ray ad I thought
G1 passes, G2 gets shocked.
Con Save: 14
Kileprat con save: 18
Casey watches with horror as her friends get blasted by the death ray.

Everyone saves. G1 and 2 raise up a hand.
We tap out.
Dan: There you have it folks The Last Copper wins the day!
Half of the stadium cheers the other half boos. A portal opens to take you back to the ready room.
OOC: please level up everyone gets 1000 gp for finishing Phase 1. I got the night shift so this will be my last post till the weekend.
(OOC: Good luck on your shift @Bushawk).

This is the closest Kileprat has come to going out and she looks it. As they walk out and Aino ribs the gladiators, she chuckles a bit.
"Funny, you guys fought well, but that was funny. Would you guys be part of the syndicate?"
She catches up to the group. " Whew, that one was tough, you guys ate awesome. Wonder how many more rounds we have?"
Will upgrade I'm the morning.
“Yer the best crew a girl could ‘ave! That were another tough fight, but a win’s a win, in me book!” Casey says. “Thanks fer repaying the coin Storm, ya ye gots to get one o’ these cloaks, I think. Happy to loan out again if anyone needs. I’m still figurin whot to buy. Some o’ you got some winnings comin from yer side bets too! We gotta watch our backs, fer sure.”
(Hmm.. when you have a chance-
prices for rythym maker drum +2 and +1,
elven chain (Casey can wear)
thanks! Was fun battle!)
