Horns blare, and banners unfurl!  Another match has been announced!

This is open to all level 1 contestants.

The time is (2) late morning.  The sun is high in the sky, and shines brightly down on everything.  Those with Sunlight Sensitivity will be affected all the time, unless they're in the underground room in Midnight Catacombs.

The map is (2):

After 3 rounds, a random complication will occur.  After 12 rounds, an objective will appear.  Capture the objective and your team wins!  More details will be posted when said objective spawns, if that happens.

If you wish to join, post your initiative and choose a starting position in Row 1.

This match will begin in about 24 hours, or when everyone has joined.

Reminder: everyone starts each match with a single potion of healing.

(The amount of contestants I just PMed makes me slightly nervous about how long this is going to take . . .)

(15 contestants, to be exact.)

(Yep. This will be a good one!)

A giant bugbear with nothing but the clothes on his back walks in at 1D. This should be good. You hear a trumpet in the background, sounding like an elephant. Sorry bud. I don’t have a saddle. You can’t be here. 

Initiative:13

(Ninja Smoke Bomb! Ninja Shoes!? Oh my heart with these thematic choices! Any way I can trade in my current boots while I'm at it?)

The blue-skinned tiefling steps into the arena once again, squinting in the sunlight. “This time.” She then walks P1 and hides.

Stealth: 25

(Welp. Get that out of the system now, I guess)

She ducks under the wall in front of her, but her horns still stick very obviously above the barrier.

Initiative: 4

'The hulking seven foot tall, blue-skinned, bald, tatoo covered half-orc steps forward into the Arena, glowering about himself in the bright late morning sunlight. Unarmoured save for tattered leather, hide and fur scraps and a loincloth, the menacing figure removes the cap from the javelin holster at his left hip, loads a bolt into the crossbow that is tied to the front of his thick leather belt with a braided thong and unlimbers his heavy steel greatsword for a few practice swings as he looks up and down the starting line with interest.'

[OOC] Ryshard is stepping to M1

Initiative 16

perception 13

A large, imposing, bearded male human approaches. He wears heavy mail and a cloak on his shoulders. He reaches over and pulls a long pikelike weapon off his back. As he does so, his hand glints in the sunlight, as if it were made of metal. He takes his place at L1 and stands ready, spear gripped tightly in both hands, one bare flesh, the other seemingly covered in some sort of metal glove, perhaps.

Initiative: 11

(Staff of the adder offered to me again? Theren naturally takes Winged boots for a fly speed of 55ft)

A man in armor strides in with a Rapier in hand. This should be... interesting. Glad to be back at this kind of work. Retour Rebuke arrives at 1E.

14

Aliene, the towering metal man form a foreign land, walks in, disappointed. Well, they didn’t except. That sucks. Oh well. To Glory!

Aliene will cast Bless on a few people (to be decided)

Initiative:6

为了你 Arrives at 1N, slingshot in hand. He casts Magic Stone on a few rocks before going out.

23 is my initiative.

Marky enters at B1, distributes 3 bardic inspirations to his teammates and hides behind anything tall he can find. He chuckles to himself "Let's have some fun, ok?"

Stealth:  24
Initiative: 4

A human in Chainmail walks out to H1 with sword and shield in hand, "Time to compete finally." he says as he does some stretches.

Initiative: 19

Marshen walks out with hope of a good fight 

Initiative : 9

Marshen enters I p1 hope held high 

initiative: [roll]1d20[\roll]

Oh god it’s been to long rolling dice here 

(the second type without the spaces in the first one) 

(With this many contestants you could conceivably pull off something like a battle royale, with weapons and armor scattered around the battlefield. The armor would have to be the magical swift don/doff kind though. Just an idea for a later battle)

Zurazall walks onto 1J, trying to find a nice hiding spot before any even notices he was there.
