Echoes of Glory - Coliseum of Conquest

Eldin scratches his head a bit in confusion, "Again? We just got done with a match... Whatever..." He needed the money. All he'd been doing between matches is alternating between sulking at the Glory ruins and sulking in front of a ruined house in the forest.

Starting position: E1 (L1 if already taken)

Initiative: 12

Prep: Will post after I see who my allies/opponents are.

Dorkas finishing put magics into his ring of spell storing “another round of combat this soon, interesting” 

initiative 16

prep will be decided when allies are know 

starting position a1

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 in-between or beyond! Welcome to the Coliseum!" The crowd roar and cheers for a moment. "Now, I hope you're ready for another exciting match, for without further adieu, allow me to introduce your competitors!"

"He may be no bard, but there's one song his blade sings guaranteed to draw a crowd! Give it up for Baral the Bombastic!" A lithe eladrin clad in simple but sturdy blue clothes takes his place at the gates, bearing a rapier in one hand, a gnarly whip at the hip, and a hawk (presumably)fluttering about far to the east. With a magical burst of speed however, he is soon hidden.

"Through much trial and effort, our spellblade and master tactician remains yet hungry for victory! My friends give it up... Dorkas Frostwalker!" Her declaration is accompanied by half-elven man adorned in chain mail and naturally grown silver scales finishing final preparations.

"First we have a devilish man of many talents and titles, an former contender yet climbing ever higher in this new age. Give it up for Eldin the Enigma!" The bug-faced male tiefling finalizes preparations.

"Let's give a warm welcome for our future time lord of this universe at least! Koplony, Master of Time!" As the blue-skinned wizard steps forth, wrapped in arcane power, and dancing as chipper as can be along with illusory brothers!

"With that! Let the final match of the day...BEGIN!!!

Team(1): Koplony will fight with... 3.. Dorkas!

Team(2): Eldin meanwhile shall fight alongside Baral.

(K, D vs , B, E )

Team(1)(Koplony and Dorkas will go first!)

Team(1) is up!

Key: '#' Hedges, '=' High wall (8ft.), '€' Tree, '%' Door, '.' Grass, 'A-Z' Contestants

(Passing through the hedges in any direction is difficult terrain costing an extra 5 feet of movement. The hedges heavily obscure anything beyond them. A creature may attack through the hedges, but this will grant the target a bonus of 2 to AC.)

Eldin's prep:

BA Stealth at the end of it: 25

Dorkas prep cast invisibility on kop 

mirror image on my self and use extended meta magic 

Dorkas opts to hold his ground for the time being, but not without further empowering Koplony by rendering him Invisible!

Koplony takes advantage of his new found invisibility to further mask his presence on the battlefield.

(@Brian: 10ft tall, so just a little taller than the walls)

It is Team(2)'s Turn! Map Updated Here.

Arena 11: Nexus(Round 1-Cont.)

Contestants:

Eldin tries to stay stealthy for as long as possible.

End of turn Stealth check to stay hidden: 27

The actual turn:

Baral will stretch a little bit, before saying, "Looks like everyone's hiding away! Well, that's something I have no intention of doing." 

Hawk: Will briefly fly 30 ft and try to find any sign of Kolopony, before going back down and telling Baral. 20

Bonus Action: Baral clicks together his Boots of Speed

Movement: With a speed of a 160 ft., Baral intends to move over to Dorkas and back to around his original position. Is this possible? He may also use the Broom of Flying to leap over hedges, if needed.

Action 1: Baral will attack Dorkas with his rapier. In his first action, he will cast Booming Blade in a place of one of the attacks

Booming Blade Attack: 28+4 Damage: 8

Attack: 11+2 Damage: 11

Baral will then run back, potentially triggering an opportunity attack from Dorkas with disadvantage due to his Boots of Speed.

Action 2: When Baral gets out of sight of Dorkas, he will Hide 27

 

 

(Forgot to roll the extra d8 from Booming Blade if that matters: 1)

 That damage i Believe is only if I move 5ft away from you willingly 

@Legion4

I get extra thunder damage to the weapon attack damage at level 5. It'll be another 2d8 if you move. 

Baral attacked twice, so there should be another Mirror Image roll.

Eldin continues to act in secret, managing to further obscure his position.

Baral has no such compunctions or limitations however, as a combination of extreme speed and tactical use of his broom here or there soon has him before Dorkas, lashing out twice with uncanny accuracy at Dorkas. Then, he rushes off, tempting fate in his escape, but eventually finding some place to hide again in the Labyrinth. Prior to all that, Hawky is given its search orders, and with great difficulty and some uncertainty, he's able to at least detect gravel or pebbles being shifted from his invisible foe.

With that, the sound of gears beginning to churn in the walls of the arena can faintly start be heard...

(@Baral: The advantage of keen sight would be canceled out by both the invisibility and dark conditions. That said, the 1st roll was the highest, so he yet detected Koplony.)

(@Dorkas: I still need 2 Conc. Saves for Invisibility. You may also make an Opportunity Attack on Baral, though at disadvantage due to Boots of Speed.)

(@Team(1): Both may also make a contested perception against Baral(24)

“Well, that puts a rock in the road” dorkas says seeing the booming blade ward 

Action cast false life at 1st level 

8 temp hit points 

Koplony takes briefly to the air and lights up much of the field in a deadly before landing again, confident if not hopeful of at least having prepared a very bad time for his foes.

Dorkas, realizing he couldn't move without suffering more damage, conjures a weak but protective barrier in anticipation of what was to come next.

(@Team2: If any are within the spell's effect or enter its area, make sure to roll the Con Save and damage(for expediency))

It is now Team(2)'s Turn.

(Passing through the hedges in any direction is difficult terrain costing an extra 5 feet of movement. The hedges heavily obscure anything beyond them. A creature may attack through the hedges, but this will grant the target a bonus of 2 to AC.)

Reference Map:

Contestants:

Baral thankfully avoids the Sickening Radiance, as he zeroes in on Kolopony who has emerged from invisibility. 

Hawk: Dodge

Movement: Baral will try to move up to Kolopony without using his Broom to keep a hand free. Then, he'll try to retreat to B3. Would he be able to do that and avoid the Sickening Radiance?

Action One: After moving into line of sight of Kolopony, Baral casts Dispel Magic, dispelling the Mirror Image and Mage Armor

Action Two: Baral approaches Kolopony and strikes with his rapier before moving back to B3.

Attack: 12+1d4 Damage: 6

DM: 

Trying to take advantage of the momentary drop in defenses, Eldin ducks and weaves between the corners of the maze and jumps out on the first row. He runs up to 1H and throws a dagger at Koplony before retreating back to 1G.

Dagger Throw: 18 (Adv if Kop is visible: 20) + Bless: 4
Dmg: 7 + Sneak: 16

Baral is faster on the draw this go around, as it is he that makes his presence known in unraveling Koplony's magical defenses. A moment later, he closes in for the proverbial kill. But then in but a look from Koplony alone, the moment rewrites itself, potentially sparing the blue wizard the blade.

Eldin slips forward in the wake of the chaos caused by Bara opening act, flinging a dagger before Koplony has even fully finished recovering from the initial chaos. With no more defenses to shield him, the dagger lands true in the wizard's side.

(@Brian: Sadly yes, they were both outside it. One just barely, funnily enough. And yes, that goes for timmy too.)

(@Koplony: Depending on if Baral's roll is any worse, gonna need 1 or 2 Con Saves as well.)
