Xod will move north west toward I 10 using about half movement and attack goblin at n 8
17 to hit 6 damage
then use rest movement to get to g9
imp will move to d12 and see if he sees a lever to shut gate (13 +1 perception) and get the item there and move to G10 and use free action to open and hand item to xod and if possible use the last movement points to go closer to end movement at g12
roll 19 is valid. Note: used boxes rolls. 2,12,16,18,19)
believe next is:
Khazela
(Forgot to address the gate.) The gate looks to lack any lever on the outside nor inside of it. But it does seem be held up by a chain, if you break the chain it should drop the gate.
Goblin Action
More Goblins enter the arena as the remaining attack once more, at those they could see or pursue. While the more armed one seems to be scavenging the field, checking their dead comrades, taking their daggers.
Xod is going to shoot at the chain holding up the gate
sigh 22 hit and a whopping 1 damage (action economy is so not in our favor …)
imp will move to g14 use action get item then move back to near Xod g10 free action to open and give him the item to Xod the move to h10 and drop invisibility
A ripple shivers across the sand as Khazela burrows beneath the surface, quills flattened; heartbeats later she erupts beside the goblin harrying Connor in a fountain of grit, pale scimitar flashing like lunar fang—but the blade whistles through empty air as the creature flinches back. Momentum carries her into a pivoting, crescent‑wide kick, silver‑tipped claws tracing a bright arc that likewise finds only dust. A rasping “Krrr‑zash!” escapes her muzzle, quills rattling in vexed percussion, and before the goblin can squeal triumph she is already gone—body corkscrewing back into the sand, leaving nothing but a collapsing cone of grains and the echo of her predatory intent.
Move: Burrow to M13, break ground, attack and return 5ft underground Action: Attack with Scimitar, miss with natural 1 Bonus: Attack with unarmed strike, miss with natural 1

It does? But she stays within 5ft, i.e. the reach of the creature. She only moves behind full cover, e.g. the soil/sand. It doesn't matter now, but it might matter for the future. In my opinion the situation is very similar as if someone would move into a dense fog while still within 5ft. That would also not trigger an AoO because you are not leaving the reach but you would still be heavily obscured. In Khazela's situation she is behind full cover (a layer of sand), before she is beyond the 5ft reach, which she didn't actually leave. She remains at 5ft distance but underground. This is just the same as if a flier would be in the cube above (diagonally) another creature, but remain within 5ft (in this case it would still be visible, but I think it shouldn't matter if your above or below a creature as long as you remain within their reach).
(also. The two natural 1’s that’s the way our rolls are going. 1:400 odds)
Tell me about odds... Last turn, I already rolled a 2 and a 1. Now two more 1s. I wonder when this bad luck streak finally ends.
I give this about 2 more rounds before were all dead.. i have 1 hp.. we will each have 3 on us.. will be interesting to see if we improve during the next arena combat...

(Thanks for the link. I had been looking around for rulings about this myself and didn't find this one. I see the point they make, that one leaves the effective reach when one moves behind full cover. Although there is no such thing as an effective reach in the rules, it does make sense (to me). I feel, however, that the case of a burrower misses one very essential part that is that someone who burrows does not move behind cover (actively), the floor collapses and the cover is forced upon the burrower, which is not necessarily a deliberate move by the burrower– but moving deliberately out of reach is a requirement by Attacks of Opportunities to trigger. Therefore, I don't really agree with Crawford's clarification seeing a number of points that are missed or glossed over (or simply poorly covered by the rules and only present in his mind). Crawford's effectively the creator of the rules and if this is how he envisioned it or wanted it to be, then who am I to judge. The question is spot on and this is his response, thus I stand by it. Personally, I don't care about how you rule, I will simply follow how you tell me to play and adapt to that. The monk is in a favorable situation where this only affects them partly, they can still disengage and attack, thus loosing one attack per round by this ruling.)

(Ah.)
The imp finds a weirdly wrapped rod. It is tied tightly and gives off a malevolent feeling and a strong stench of blood reeks from it.

OOC: I took it to mean the OA against Quinn as she ran away from one goblin to engage a different one.

(Melee reach doesn't extend past the floor or walls. Was curious on that kind of ruling and did a bit of searching on it. A good example of it is the earth elemental, https://www.sageadvice.eu/does-an-earth-elemental-trigger-an-opportunity-attack-when-it-burrows/ . But if the gladiators agree that is an unfair ruling, then it will no longer be in effect.)
(I did miss that post though.)
