This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"On it! Just keep the hits comin'..." he says between gritted teeth. The seasoned fighter continues to circle the newly-arrived golem, dodging the first attack and parrying the second (Reaction - Parry: expend one superiority die to reduce damage from this attack by 9), but catching the third thrust full on. He lashes out with two quick attacks of his own, hoping to end this quickly!
Ransyl holsters his battleaxe and runs to grab the bronze spear. With it in his hands, he once again flanks the gladiator opposite Kirinar. “Let’s see what this does.”
(OOC - I’m assuming this would use up all of Ransyl’s action.)

I would consider dropping the battleaxe a free action and picking up the spear as the same as drawing a weapon so you would still have your actions.
Just roll attack rolls and I'll determine the damage.
Timber tries to blast the gladiator with his magic but all he is able to make is a bunch of smoke and doesn't hurt the creature at all.
Keyleth fires a shot but the bolt stick in the shield of the gladiator but she is successful in ducking out of sight as the gladiator is engaged in combat with Kirinar.
Artus continues a barrage of arrows
Attack: 15 Damage: 10
Attack: 8 Damage: 10
Attack: 11 Damage: 3
But he has difficulty hitting the moving creature.
Kirinar steps in trying to hit the gladiator but it sidesteps his first attack and is too slow to move for the second
Ransyl actions with the spear
Timber (19/22), Keyleth (33/33), Artus (49), Kirinar (15/44), Ransyl (30/49), Dr A (14/38), Gladiator (10)
Ransyl tries to stab at the gladiator with the bronze spear but it doesn't seem to be anything special and both of his attacks miss. (I don't see how you had advantage so both attacks I took the first roll only)
This gladiator, for whatever reason, seems more difficult than the previous
FWIW, this gladiator is no different than the first but you guys hammered the first one down pretty quick but aren't getting so lucky this time around.
Dr A is up
Timber (19/22), Keyleth (33/33), Artus (49), Kirinar (22/44), Ransyl (30/49), Dr A (14/38), Gladiator (10)
The fighter takes advantage of the continuing attacks and strikes twice at the golem in rapid succession, jabbing at the legs!
Attack 1: 14 Damage: 6 - Attack 2: 25 Damage: 8
He will use his shield to parry any attacks against himself, or to protect a colleague within 5' from attack. (Both are reactions. One expends a Superiority die to subtract 1d8+2 from damage taken. Other gives disadvantage on an attack against ally within 5'.)
Keyleth steps out of hiding, crossbow loaded, into the corridor leading to the pit, and lines up her shot at the gladiator.
Attack: 25 Damage: 14
She looks at Ransyl's unconscious body with a panicked expression, momentarily considers her options, and decides that the group would have a better chance if they could induce the gladiator to split up its attacks, and so she drops her crossbow and bolts toward the construct, drawing her serpent tongue dagger as she does.

Love God. Love Others. Any Questions?

(Ooc - normal spear attack stats?)
Yes
Circling the gladiator opposite Kirinar, Ransyl thrusts the bronze spear at it two times.
Attack: 17 Damage: 8

I thought there was advantage to attacks when you and a team member were flanking an opponent.
I don't use the optional flanking rules.
Ok, sorry about that
Dr A sends another Guiding Bolt at the Golem Attack: 24 Damage: 12)
DM - Stopping a god in his tracks
Dr A's bolt slams into the gladiator and a dim light covers the creature.
The next attack has advantage
The gladiator turns to Ransyl, who picked up the bronze spear, and slams his shield into him
Attack: 9 Damage: 9
Ransyl must succeed a DC15 Strength Saving Throw or be knocked prone 21
Ransyl is bale to stay on his feet as the gladiator tries to strike him with the spear
Attack: 9 Damage: 10
Attack: 18 Damage: 12
And he hits Ransyl spearing him in the side twice knocking Ransyl unconscious
Timber is up

(( Yes, Timber's turn.))
OOC: Sorry i thought i had posted. It has been another hectic week at uni as the year wraps up.
Timber summons a small mote of flame into his hand and throws it at the golem.
Attack: 21 Damage: 8
Timber hits with a molt of fire and Keyleth follows up with a solid hit with her crossbow.
Artus raises his hand that wears the Ring of Winter and concentrates on the gladiator and attempts to turn it into stone.
Con save 9
but it isn't affected.
Kirinar misses once and connects with a follow up strike
I need a death save from Ransyl
