(@Naveyman: First off, my apologies for not getting back to you and all sooner. But to answer your question, that would only be the case if there were no active lower level contestants that could possibly be promoted. And in such an instance it would be against a NPC of the same main class. With that all said, and since it's been more than enough time since the original cut off date, the match will downgraded to leveled 5 Match a little later today.)

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!"
"First up, we have a dwarf that seems to have combined the studies of the arcane and divine into something yet to be seen! Give it up for Forge!" A heavily armored dwarf with a hawk hovering overhead stands adroit at the announcement. With a thick tome of spells, thicker armor, and vestments covered in frost, he appears ready for anything!
"Entering prepared for the season and thensome, I present to you... Lenalia the Lionhearted!" A show woman bearing a shabby-chic patchwork robe, loose fitting poncho, elegant armor, and an almost divine beauty to her. At least that is what others would see if not for the magic of an instrument obscuring her form.
"With that! Let this afternoon match of the day...BEGIN!!!
Lenalia is up first!
(S/N to readers: Due to miscommunication on my part, the next couple of posts will be quotes from the PM. Match will then proceed as normal.)
Lenalia is biding her time, knowing a head-on confrontation with this metal behemoth is likely to end poorly. She continues to stealth throughout this round.
PM to DM for the position, stealth 25 from previous chat.
Forgerushes further deeper into the tunnels, finding himself near its center. But unfortunately, at least passively, he finds neither hide or hear of his opponent. As Hawky is bade to go on the defensive, the sound of machines whirring to life in the walls can start to be heard more clearly echoing off the walls.
One Round remained before the hazard came into play...
Lenalia stayed on the defensive, and kept hidden yet, waiting perhaps for some advantage to make itself known to her.
Forge, having reached the center, runs through a number of options quickly in mind. Unfortunately, the low ceiling would prevent the most obvious choice from coming to fruition. So, he settle for listening close, searching for any sign -- a sound, a scent, draft of wind from a passing person -- anything that might alert him to Lenalia's position. Hawky stays on the defense.
Meanwhile, the whirling and clicking of stones and gears comes to a halt with the opening of vents in the staging area. From there, a blue-ish fog began creeping its way out...
Lenalia will move to E10, then appear out of thin air and beings to pump the air with aggressive, passionate chords, pushing heat waves into Forge's metal carapace at 4th lvl. Heat Waves.
Lenalia finally makes her presence known; but, by then, it is already too late for Forge. Ice begins to chip and melt after the Arcane Ward gives way heat of the armor. Only after the fact can he see a the by then visible bard racing her way northward prior to ducking around a bend.
(@Forge: Before its asked, I looked into this a bit. And because Lenalia was hidden prior to casting the spell, you couldn't see her to counterspell before the spell took effect. You can however still use any feature/spells in response to the damage)
(Additionally, make a Con Save(DC 14) to see if Forge has the wherewithal to focus past the debilitating effects of the spell.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Forge's endures the sudden heat surge with the assistance of a magic. Unwilling to take that lying down though, he heads north before vanishing and reappearing in a plume of mist. Leg muscles pump furiously to finish closing the gap, until he stood right before Lenalia, ready to lash out at her mind. Meanwhile, hawky flies out of the all devouring fog before it can do its work, putting just enough distance to avoid being swallowed up again. For now.
Bonus Action: Cast (2nd level)Misty Step, porting to 12G.
Movement(remaining): To 13D.
Action: Cast (Cantrip)Mind Sliver on Lenalia, inflicting 12 Psychic damage on a failed Int Save(DC 16). In addition, target suffers a minus 2 penalty to next save.
