Griante Snapping Turtle shakes off the last of the lingering magic, and snaps at Swigg, getting him good if there's no magical interference this time around.
Swigg, despite being on his last legs after take one bad bite to the arm, pulls free long enough to shout out some more dissonant words to try and run the stalwart turtle!
After trading blows both magical and bestial, Griannado emerges victorious in the end with Swigg's cutting words and even more curt surrender. 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, Swigg receive 8000 xp and 2720 gold.
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. Grianne earns 16000 xp and 6800 gold, and is ready to proceed to the next round.
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."
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 work on tirelessly to put the final modifications in place of a specially tailored made complex for the fights to be had next.
To win: 3... Aggressive Opponents - Fight! Aggressive enemies will join the battle every four rounds. Defeat your opponents before you are overwhelmed.
The conditions: 3... Night - The battle field is lit with Torches and Dancing Lights but darkness still looms. Checks relying in sight will suffer disadvantage even with Darkvision.
The Map: 9.... The Complex - A single, roofless building fills the space. It is filled with luxurious marble floors, gilded lamps, strong oak doors, and neatly maintained plants. All of the doors and windows are shut. In the center is a courtyard dominated by a single tall tree. There are tables, chairs, counter tops, stoves, and other furniture throughout the structure.
(Doors and windows can be opened and closed as freely as drawing or stowing a weapon. Climbing through the open windows is difficult and will cost 5 extra feet of movement without a DC 10 Athletics or Acrobatics check. Attempting this check and failing will cause the character to fall prone.)
Reference Map:
To enter please roll initiative, choose a starting position in Row 1.
You will have 1 round to prepare before the match outside of any buffs that would last an hour or more. Everyone starts with a normal healing potion. Please make sure to reset sheet by hitting the Long Rest button, and roll recharge for any magic item where applicable.
(S/N: If there are any questions, feel free to include them at the bottom of your initiative post. Will be using a general group PM for ease of communication, and keep thread clear.)
Reading the map:
This is a 20 foot by 20 foot area:
=............ 04 . . . . =.....------- 03 . = . . =.....=...... 02 . - K. . ============= 01 . . . . A B C D
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.)
(@All Observers/Firecat: Normally due to a lack of participants, the match is called off in favor of running one for the next tier below to eventual build up participants for the rank above. But seeing as the level 3 is the bottom, I would rather not reward patience with a 'Sorry bud! There's maybe always... next month, maybe?'. So, in light of this, Egozi will be facing one of the Arena NPCs to try and advance to the next level. Same primary class but with my own personal bent to it, making it at least loosely a mirror match shortly.)
(And... against what may or may not be better judgement, I'll be opening a third thread up for matches to hopeful help with the flow of things.)

As the contestants enter the arena (and a certain Overlord remembers their job..), Marmaduke once again flies out to an already excited crowd to announce 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 an exciting duel between competitors ready to throw them hands! But first, allow me to introduce them!"
"Hailing from lands far oversea, and wielding the powers of the elements in his very fist is the one, the only, Egzoi the Elemental Fist!" A dark-skinned human has not even a single hair on his head. But what he lacked in hair, he made up for in bearing a very unique javelin at his back.

(Ha, thanks. I guess 3rd level competitors are not scarce at this point, so long after the game began.)
Egozi grins, then immediately starts running forward. He opens the first set of doors, then opens the second one. Reaching the next room, he stops. No need to rush this, his enemy will reveal himself soon.
Free Action: Open the first set of doors. Action: [Tooltip Not Found] to open the second set of doors. Move: Broken between actions, but in the end, reaching H-5.
(In case opening the second set of doors does not take an action, Egozi will try to conceal his presence. Stealth: 10.
(@FireCat5: It would indeed take an action to open the second door. You only get 1 free interact with an object a turn barring any special features or special gear I'm afraid.)
Moko apparently did not get the memo about not rushing things, as he wastes little time in barreling through the first door, before then scaling the walls past the second one and dropping down on the other side(11-i). From there, he can just make out Egozi. It's only at that point he realizes his mistake, and snaps into a defensive posture.
The sound of gears grinding behind the walls of the arena can just faintly be heard... 3 more rounds before the hazards make themselves known.
(I figured, as that's how it's usually played. "Doors and windows can be opened and closed as freely as drawing or stowing a weapon." That confused me though.)
Egozi grins as he notices his enemy. Running past the doors, he gets close to his opponent, then settles in an offensive posture, his quarterstaff ready to strike at the enemy if he attacks.
Free Action: Open the doors. Move: To K-10. Action: Ready an attack with his quarterstaff that he will unleash the moment Moko comes within range.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
(@FireCat5: It would indeed take an action to open the second door. You only get 1 free interact with an object a turn barring any special features or special gear I'm afraid.)
Confused at first, Moko bounds to the south a bit(10-i) and cocks his head to the side. Then his own grin blooms into being. "Ohhh! Very smart.. But -- Think Fast!" He suddenly lurches forward, throwing his spear in hopes of forcing Egozi's hand. But come what may he bounds in close afterwards(10-J), striking hard and fast with a palm strike. The moment contact is made, disrupting ki is released in a deadly pulse. None of it lands.
Bonus Action: Martial Arts Strike. (Melee)Unarmed Strike - Attack: 24 Damage: 7 non-magical bludgeoning. If hit, Spending 1 ki for Hand of Harm, inflicting an additional 4 necrotic damage. (If a crit, adding another 2 as well.)
The sound of gears grinding behind the walls of the arena starts to grow louder.... 2 more rounds before the hazards make themselves known.
(@FireCat5: Go ahead and roll your reaction if any as part of your next post.)
Egozi dodges the spear and the other attack, then retaliates with his own attack.
Reaction Attack: 18 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll..
As his weapon fails to make a purchase, Egozi takes one hand off the quarterstaff and clenches it into a fist. He doesn't strike at Moko immediately, though, but instead channels his Ki into it. A moment later, Moko feels a powerful fist lands down on him, trying to knock him prone. Then, Egozi quickly grabs his quarterstaff with both hands again and tries to attack Moko again.
Action: Fist of Unbroken Air. Moko must make a DC 13 Str save or take 21 bludgeoning damage, or half on success. If Moko fails the save, he also falls Prone. Free Action: Grab the Quarterstaff with both hands again. BA: Ki-Fueled Attack: 6 Damage: 4. If Moko failed his save earlier and is prone, advantage's second roll: 6.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Moko crosses his arms and digs in his feet to hold his ground against the sudden blast of wind. Battered by it all the same, he fails to bring his own quarterstaff up in time, but pivots at least in time to turn Egozi's strike into a glancing blow. His staff and palm strike fairs little better as both are easily turned aside. But within that flurry of attacks, he finds a moment to center himself and direct residual ki towards self-restoration.
Bonus Action: Spending 1 ki Point for Flurry of Blows. (Melee)Unarmed Strike - Attack: 26 Damage: 8 non-magical bludgeoning. Replacing 2nd Strike with Hand of Healing, restoring 4 HP to Moko.
Holes open in the back of the staging ground areas.... 1 round before the hazards make themselves known.
(Doors and windows can be opened and closed as freely as drawing or stowing a weapon. Climbing through the open windows is difficult and will cost 5 extra feet of movement without a DC 10 Athletics or Acrobatics check. Attempting this check and failing will cause the character to fall prone.)
Egozi evades all of the other monk's attacks, but then he suddenly jumps back, maintaining a defensive posture. He leaves his quarterstaff with his left hand and grabs his javelin. Speaking its command word, he hurls it towards the other monk, the javelin turning into a lightning bolt as it darts toward the other monk.
BA: Using last Ki point to dodge via Patient Defense.
Move: To K-8.
Free Action: Drawing the Javelin of Lightning.
Action: Using the Javelin of Lightning's special ability. Attack: 18 Piercing Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. + Lightning Damage: Unable to parse dice roll..
The Griannte Snapping Turtle shrugs off the bad bark and snaps again at her foe.

Moko apparently did not get the memo about not rushing things, as he wastes little time in barreling through the first door, before then scaling the walls past the second one and dropping down on the other side(11-i). From there, he can just make out Egozi. It's only at that point he realizes his mistake, and snaps into a defensive posture.
The sound of gears grinding behind the walls of the arena can just faintly be heard... 3 more rounds before the hazards make themselves known.

(I figured, as that's how it's usually played. "Doors and windows can be opened and closed as freely as drawing or stowing a weapon." That confused me though.)
Egozi grins as he notices his enemy. Running past the doors, he gets close to his opponent, then settles in an offensive posture, his quarterstaff ready to strike at the enemy if he attacks.

Confused at first, Moko bounds to the south a bit(10-i) and cocks his head to the side. Then his own grin blooms into being. "Ohhh! Very smart.. But -- Think Fast!" He suddenly lurches forward, throwing his spear in hopes of forcing Egozi's hand. But come what may he bounds in close afterwards(10-J), striking hard and fast with a palm strike. The moment contact is made, disrupting ki is released in a deadly pulse. None of it lands.

Egozi dodges the spear and the other attack, then retaliates with his own attack.
Reaction Attack: 18 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll..
As his weapon fails to make a purchase, Egozi takes one hand off the quarterstaff and clenches it into a fist. He doesn't strike at Moko immediately, though, but instead channels his Ki into it. A moment later, Moko feels a powerful fist lands down on him, trying to knock him prone. Then, Egozi quickly grabs his quarterstaff with both hands again and tries to attack Moko again.

Moko crosses his arms and digs in his feet to hold his ground against the sudden blast of wind. Battered by it all the same, he fails to bring his own quarterstaff up in time, but pivots at least in time to turn Egozi's strike into a glancing blow. His staff and palm strike fairs little better as both are easily turned aside. But within that flurry of attacks, he finds a moment to center himself and direct residual ki towards self-restoration.

Egozi evades all of the other monk's attacks, but then he suddenly jumps back, maintaining a defensive posture. He leaves his quarterstaff with his left hand and grabs his javelin. Speaking its command word, he hurls it towards the other monk, the javelin turning into a lightning bolt as it darts toward the other monk.
