"So, I think we just need to get the ball to that 'goal'. Maybe who ever does it has to hold onto one of the figurines as it happens? I will also bet that there will be obstacles or traps along the way, because it can't be that easy... who wants to play?" Bugs says to the group.
Ramious frowns, "Though I might usually enjoy such a game....being forced to play does not please me. Anyway, pass me the ball, I'll get it to the other goal. I guess give me a figurine while you're at it." He secures his axe on his back, looking down the passage, looking for potential traps or obstacles as he takes a few deep breaths to psyche himself up.

With his bugs, Bugs will first lift out the figurines and have them buzz it over to each of us. He will then do the same with the ball and pass it to Ramious. If the ball is more than 5lbs he will grab it himself and then pass it off.
Figurins did not present any problems and were easily picked up (figurines are carved in the image of a sun-god in a feathered robe and look expensive enough by themselves. There is something golden shining under the bones too). The ball, however... Of course something like this had to be expected - otherwise, why warn about danger? The bug-made hand picked the ball (it is exactly the size of depression on the wall) easily but it suddenly jerked free of the grasp and rebounded off the east wall above the goal, then flew straight to Bernard (bouncing off of him: Attack: 8 Damage: 4 ) sped 30 feet to the west (to the far wall) and hovered at place.
It seemed, your opponent is the ball itself. A sound like that of a trumpet rolled along the hall. The game begun!
Round 1.
(Possible actions - grappling and throwing (improvised weapon, Str mod for Attack, damage*5 - number of ft you sent the ball toward the goal. When the ball is grappled - Attack is with advantage)
Ramious leaps towards the ball, attempting to grapple it. He decides now might be a good time to use some of that internal emotional angst he's been holding onto, and flies into a rage.
Grapple Check : 29

(Additional rule (otherwise it does not make sense) caught the ball - through it!)
Ramious simply took the ball from the air closing his fist around it without leaving a chance to the thing to escape. All what was left is to score a goal.
(Improvised weapon Attack with 1d4+Str mod *5 for the throwing distance. For Ramious it has to be +8 with (1d4+5)*5 if I calculate correctly)
Alyssa's expression was hard to read. "Let's play." She'd say simply, taking the figurine given to her. With Bugs digging for gold, the elf would step out of Ramious' way, taking position farthest in the opposite direction he went. She'd take a defensive position in front of a goal, readying herself to catch the ball should it go astray.
He charges down the length of the hall, and slams the ball into the indent. He turns away from the ball as he lets it go, and puts his arms up in the air, his mouth open, "aaaaand he scoooores!!!" and does a little jig.
Of course, he did. However... nothing happen. Or, better say, many things happen - flashing lights around the goal, trumpeting sounds (signalling the score, most likely) but the ball just stuck in the depression on the wall and the stone doors did not move. After a few moments (Bernard used that time for extraction of the trophy from under the bones - a chalice of beaten gold, inset with six amethysts, worth at least 150 gp of materials only) the ball jerked from the wall again in a sudden move not allowing prepared Alyssa or Leon to catch it. It bounced off Ramious ( Attack: 9 Damage: 2 ) and again stopped 30ft away from the pit.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ball's attempt to free itself: 18
The thing failed miserably for yet another time and Leon thrust it into the depression with one powerful move. The sound of triumphant drums erupted briefly, stone walls blocking the exit(s) rolled up, then the area went silent. The ball dropped from the goal back to the pit, motionless, the goal darkened, but the east goal (on the other side) continued to glow orange.
Bernard walks up to Ramious and Leon with the golden chalice and hold it up high. "I present to you two, winners of of the ancient... ball game. This trophy!" He then begins making the hushed "ahh" sound like a that of a crowd cheering and claps his hands.

Leon shrugs and nods to Ramious. “Go for it.” He encourages the other warrior.
Bugs will reach for the gold under the bones and then join in.
(So, Ramious can throw it somewhere between 30 and 45 feet?)
Grabbing the ball, he turns and tries to rush down the hallway.
