"A rightful place awaits you in the Realms Above, in the Land of the Great Light. Come in peace, and live beneath the sun again, where trees and flowers grow."

"Run thy sword across my chains, Silver Lady, that I may join your dance.”
(Have to say, not a fan of this. As a character that heavily relies on burning spell slots quickly, I always know I can get a rest in afterwards and can plan accordingly. That changing with no warning pretty much ****s me over, especially since I don’t gain any slots this level up.)
(Not to mention, Horatio wasn’t even in the interim battle—giving him an obvious advantage, assuming he leveled up like the rest. Unless I somehow missed his participation.)

(I realize the nature of this event favors martial characters, where a normal match favors spell casters. I'd encourage you to give it a shot knowing there is no consequence to you or your character for doing so. I actually hadn't intended to capture the level-5 characters along with the level-6s, yet here we are. The grand experiment continues.)

Koplony will remain at C3 from the begging of his turn until the the end in order to capture the flag. And he will again take the Dodge action.
