Hearing the unbearably loud, horrific sound again, Darius couldn't stand the assault--he leapt into the sky, flying up and away from Lenalia.
Or at least... he attempted to. He thought he had managed to slide by his opponent's blade attack as he moved; but then, as if guided by the gods themselves, the blade somehow managed to strike, injuring on its own and releasing its magical charge.
Lenaliaonce more strikes at Darius mind. And once he's forced to flee by the magical influence, he never quite sees the strike that fells him. But the sound of the localized thunderous force would continue to ring to him before darkness takes him...
Forge steps up, and all but the finish the job bringing the heavy boot of triumph down on the unconscious pirate's head.
(@Ming: As mentioned earlier in this match, for the coliseum at least(until further notice), since they are described as hitting simultaneously, it would only trigger one failed death save.)
(@Darius: Make a Death Save for all the biscuits.)
Following a pair of surprise surrenders, and some vicious offense from the more magically inclined of team(2), all that remained was for the pair to hold out long enough to remain king of the hill. With that, a horn blares and signal firebolts of various coloration flies up into the sky, signaling an end to the match. Constructs and medical staff enter the arena both to further ensure the stability of conditions and escorts the defeated to the trauma ward with a backdrop of cheers and applause for having fought valiant despite it all. For their participation and experience garnered in the coliseum, Darius and Fenkas receive 4500 xp and 640 gp.
The victor is taken below to be patched up and receive their prize on the receding sounds of a crowd's cheers and well wishes. Forge, Lenalia, and Rothander earns 9000 xp and 1600 gp, and is ready to proceed to the next round as well.
Tier 3:
"Take any one item. We're well equipped." The room contains every item from Chapter 5 of the Player's Handbook weighing 70 pounds or less, armor of varying sizes, instruments, tool kits. There are also spell scrolls, every first level spell is present (as well as spell scrolls of a level for which a magic user of the characters new level would have slots for), and an encyclopedia of knowledge. Reading these books will grant you proficiency with any one tool kit or any one language, depending which book you choose. The books are magically infused to allow easy retention, but the magic is lost once used.
Upper Tier:
The victor may choose instead, an item from a magically infused chest that summons 10 randomly selected magic items to choose from (rarity determined by level). Alternatively they may exchange a magic item for another item of their choosing of the same rarity or lower, if the administrator has the requested item in his extensive collection. "You name it, we've probably got one somewhere."
Lenalia will happily clap Forge on the back and say, "Well done, it's always a pleasure working with such a solid combatant!" She'll then skip over to the chest, take a long look at the mandolin before selecting a dark mantle that seems to be slightly flickering at all times, making it difficult to make out the design. "This will certainly help my aura of mystery alive!" She chuckles to herself, before nodding to the others and making her way out of the area.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The next match will feature any interested level-3 competitors. The match will begin in the next 48 hours. Or sooner, if all level contestants gather before then.
As the sun begins descends over the horizon in Sel'eman, Arena Shapers and Constructs awaken early to prepare the forest arena for the fight to come. Even going so far as to enlist some small, bear-like humanoids, if only to add in ascetics.
To win: 2... King of the HIll - A single flag (¥) in the center of the map will be available to capture in the third round. Remain within 10 feet, while holding your opponents away for 5 rounds to win.
The conditions: 3... Dawn- - In the dim early morning light checks relying on sight will suffer disadvantage without the use of Darkvision.
The Map: 11(9)... Woods - A forest of tall trees laced with well worn intersecting paths, and fortified with a few wooden palisades. The smaller trees offer some cover but aren't strong enough to bear the weight of a man. The larger trees have dense branches producing a ceiling only 15 feet above the ground. (Forgot to set re-roll for nexus, so using a lesser used map instead.)
To enter please roll initiative, choose a starting position in Row 1, and post a link to your character sheet. The match will start in around 48 hours.
You will have 1 round to prepare before the match. The one exception are spells/features with an hour+ duration, which can be activate freely prior to the match. Everyone starts with a normal healing potion.
Reading the map:
This is a 20 foot by 20 foot area:

Each space on the grid is 5 ft. × 5 ft. In the example I've placed K at C-2. The proportions can be a bit confusing because the grid appears narrower than it is tall.
(Fair Warning and Slight Addendum. As before, if there is no action in approximately a 24-hour period I will first PM inactive players before botting them approximately 24 hours from then for the turn.)
Contestants:
Tarset(T): HP(26/26)+THP(11/11) - Affected by MA. Tesrat(t): HP (1/1)+THP(/)
As Tarset steps into position he takes a small bottle of clear liquid and rubs the spirits into his hands, arms, and across his face. As the liquids evaporate he whispers "falsum vitae" and the vapors from the evaporating liquid take on a dark gray smokey appearance that clings to his body like a second skin.
This Mug immediately shared with me a transcendental tale of an Infinite Mug that anchors the Universe and keeps it from folding in on itself. I filed this report under "illogical nonsense" and asked why its sign is in Times New Roman font, when it is basic knowledge that Arial Black is a far superior font. I wondered: How did this mug even get past the assembly line with its theistic beliefs and poor font choices?

As the contestants enter the arena ,Marmaduke over it again flies to an already excited crowd, and then announces with a booming voice. "Ladies, Gentlemen, and All things inbetween or beyond! Welcome to the Coliseum!" The crowd roar and cheers for a moment. "Now, I hope you're ready for another exciting match, so without further adieu, allow me to introduce your competitors!"
"First up, once a hunter of criminals and now a seeker of glory in the name of his greatest benefactor! Give it up for Falqinor, Fang of Shadows!" An almost human male if not for a few serpentine features, and wearing a frost covered half-plate armor strides into the arena.
"And his opponent, we have a bit of a man of mystery some may say! But all the same, a round of cheers for the bladesinger, Tarset Swiftsong!" A human with the faintest of elven feature stands at the ready. Despite some obscurment from the hood of a heavy cloak, the magical headband is hard to miss. So to is the owl currently hovering off the side, and the dark grey smoke clinging to his form.

"A bladesinger huh. We are both mages skilled with blades. How about we fight with weapons and use magic to augment our abilities? It would be a pleasent change." He said allowing his hood to fall back and drawing his axe.
Falqinor spoke a word almost to quiet to hear and his scales spread to cover his entire body, immediatly begining to slowly fade.

quote from Romantically Apocalyptic byVitaly S Alexius
Tarset pulls his rapier and swipes it through the air a few times. "I will certainly put to blade when the time comes, but since my objective is to win this duel I will certainly not add additional rules that will set aside any resources I have to that end. By sword or by sorcery I will stand."
With a salute of his blade he flourishes again. This time an arcane sigil in purple light is carved into the air. As he advances he steps through the sigil and it appears his sword form becomes more lithe and dexterous than before.
He advances to I10, and stands on the defensive, his owl advancing with him and circling lazily about 20' up. (Tesrat advances to J10 at elv of 20', both take the dodge action).

Falqinor rushes further into the arena, finding just the right spot to both taunt and magically curse his opponent, before then dipping part way behind a wall.
Tasret, though feeling weakened by the curse, sends owl familiar in to distract Faliqnor just long enough to get a clear view of the Fanged Shadow and fling a dagger, hoping to break the frosty defense before the real fight begun.
Movement(Tesrat): To 11J, 5ft in the air.(No OA provoke via Flyby Trait)
Movement(Tarset): 7J.
Action: (Thrown)Dagger at Falqinor. Attack: 20 Damage: 6 piercing.
(@All: A bit late, but moving things forward as per the 48 hour rule.)
With that, the faint clicking and grinding of gears in the wall that had been steadily building over the past couple of rounds finally comes to an end with the opening of vents in the starting area on both sides. Soon the hazard would be unleashed...

Falqinor adds to the magical weight upon Tasret with another curse, before aiming to step forth and strike the wizard down. Unfortunately for him, Tarset is able to side-step the battleaxe with relative ease.
Tasret uses the time Fal needs to recover to have his familiar reposition. Meanwhile, he'd flinging magical darts right into the Sorlock's body, hoping to shatter his defenses once and for all.
With that, a black fog began pouring into the arena from each side, and slowly begin to close in on the center...
Movement(Tesrat): To 6E.
Action(Tarset): Cast (1st level)Magic Missile at Falqinor, inflicting 10 Force Damage.

With a 15+3 on the Aoo, that hits right? If so, you take another 26 damage on top of the 9, which should knock you unconscious.

Forge sees that Rod is down and casts magic missile, hitting him 3 times for the coup de grace.
If you would rule that magic missile doesn't actually work that way, then he will melee him.

Falqinor strode calmly over to a path (f1)
"A bladesinger huh. We are both mages skilled with blades. How about we fight with weapons and use magic to augment our abilities? It would be a pleasent change." He said allowing his hood to fall back and drawing his axe.
Falqinor spoke a word almost to quiet to hear and his scales spread to cover his entire body, immediatly begining to slowly fade.
(Blade ward again)
This Mug immediately shared with me a transcendental tale of an Infinite Mug that anchors the Universe and keeps it from folding in on itself. I filed this report under "illogical nonsense" and asked why its sign is in Times New Roman font, when it is basic knowledge that Arial Black is a far superior font. I wondered: How did this mug even get past the assembly line with its theistic beliefs and poor font choices?

Tarset pulls his rapier and swipes it through the air a few times. "I will certainly put to blade when the time comes, but since my objective is to win this duel I will certainly not add additional rules that will set aside any resources I have to that end. By sword or by sorcery I will stand."
With a salute of his blade he flourishes again. This time an arcane sigil in purple light is carved into the air. As he advances he steps through the sigil and it appears his sword form becomes more lithe and dexterous than before.
(OOC: Bonus action - Activate Blade Song. AC 15->19, Speed 30->40, Duration: 1/10)
He advances to I10, and stands on the defensive, his owl advancing with him and circling lazily about 20' up. (Tesrat advances to J10 at elv of 20', both take the dodge action).

Falqinor suddenly broke out of his calm walking. Running to L8 he smirked at tarset "weak" he scoffed pulling out a twisted rod
Disadvantage on strength checks

After a bit of back and forth prep and banter....
Falqinor rushes further into the arena, finding just the right spot to both taunt and magically curse his opponent, before then dipping part way behind a wall.
Tasret, though feeling weakened by the curse, sends owl familiar in to distract Faliqnor just long enough to get a clear view of the Fanged Shadow and fling a dagger, hoping to break the frosty defense before the real fight begun.
Movement(Tesrat): To 7K
Action(Tesrat): Distract Falqinor.
Movement(Tesrat): To 11J, 5ft in the air.(No OA provoke via Flyby Trait)
Movement(Tarset): 7J.
Action: (Thrown)Dagger at Falqinor.
Attack: 20 Damage: 6 piercing.
(@All: A bit late, but moving things forward as per the 48 hour rule.)
With that, the faint clicking and grinding of gears in the wall that had been steadily building over the past couple of rounds finally comes to an end with the opening of vents in the starting area on both sides. Soon the hazard would be unleashed...
It is Falqinor's Turn! Map Updated Here.

Just before he was struck falqinor lifted a hand wreathed in shadow and caught it dropping the dagger to the ground.
Striding forwards to 11i he smiled "weak and slow" (hexblades curse)
He lashed out with his axe

Wow. Just wow.
So 24 slashing and 5 necrotic for 29 total. I think that ends the fight
And thats assuming the crit doesnt double hex damage or hexblades curse damage.

Falqinor adds to the magical weight upon Tasret with another curse, before aiming to step forth and strike the wizard down. Unfortunately for him, Tarset is able to side-step the battleaxe with relative ease.
Tasret uses the time Fal needs to recover to have his familiar reposition. Meanwhile, he'd flinging magical darts right into the Sorlock's body, hoping to shatter his defenses once and for all.
With that, a black fog began pouring into the arena from each side, and slowly begin to close in on the center...
Movement(Tesrat): To 6E.
Action(Tarset): Cast (1st level)Magic Missile at Falqinor, inflicting 10 Force Damage.
It is Falqinor's Turn!
