Yeah I know, in this game though the DM just sees it as you got totally beat up and can't continue to fight so the clerics come in to heal you and drag you out.
"This may be it! Argoth ... moves on the tiefling, and brings this fight to an end!"
...
Basil, comes out into the arena to congratulate the Victors. He helps Marvarax to his feet with a Healing Potion and presents you to the cheering crowd. As he congratulates you on your first win.
Medics emerge from the shadows and tend to the wounds of the fallen contestants as they carry you from the field.

(I'd probably let you die in the right situation =P being a PvP arena you have a high likelihood of dying I could as easily have the arena medics Revivify you, but I like the flavor better with you being stabilized. In a fight where a player has Revivify I'll let you die to give the team a chance to benefit from that.)
Basil leads you past the cheering masses through the tunnels surrounded by reaching fans, as the crowds filter out of the stands.
Basil leads the winners down to the prize room. Standing outside is a lovely young girl, Adair. She offers you a bottle of fine wine. "Compliments of The Glory of The Coliseum." She smiles "We'll be opening officially in the morning. Josias has invited you to come in to celebrate." She hands Argoth the bottle and heads off down the hall. https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/play-by-post/12007-the-glory-of-the-coliseum-rp#c19
"Glad those girls are getting into legitimate business." Basil grumbles as he opens the door... You each gain a prize of 100 gold and in a moment of excitement you almost hear bells "Ding!" You gain 300xp advancing to level 2 as you peer into the room... Inside...
Tier 1:
"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.
Paren, Ramal, and Temaya wake in the head medic's office. "Good! I'm glad you guys are up. In ready to turn in. My assistant will show you to some free rooms unless you'd like to stay in the inn. Either way the rooms on us." Basil gestures to a waiting attendant, as he stands and sees himself out. You each gain a purse of 40 gold and have grown in experience (200xp)
(Not yet. You can get most mundane items "...from the players handbook weighing 70 pounds or less, armor of varying sizes, instruments, tool kits..." Your next victory you'll be able to get some magic.)
Argoth kindly accepts the wine (he'll tuck it away and maybe try to sell it later, he doesn't drink alcohol). He then moves towards the prize area and sees a gleaming suit of plate mail which he quickly grabs and sees it fits him perfectly! Satisfied, he heads towards the tavern to see if he can find out what people thought of his battle and feat of strength.
Do you want me to do an intelligence check to figure out the value of the wine?
(Gewonnt drinks all kinds of stuff, he just doesn't want anyone to know!)

A couple notes:
All competitors start each match with 1 healing potion.
I'm changing the random skill effect table so you have a 50% chance of getting a situational or player chosen effect when using a skill that is not outlined by features.

This battle will feature our 5 level-2 characters, and an NPC of random class in a 3v3 battle. 8 (multi-class, DM choice) Argoth, Gewonnt, and Marvarax will fight against Layla, Urrk, and the NPC
Victory can be achieved by. 3... Surviving. After 5 rounds a deadly opponent will emerge defeat your opponents or be the last standing to win.
The time: 1... The clouds have burned away. The sun shines, and no shadows remain in which to hide.
6 competitors come into the arena. A dwarf holding a hammer high, resplendent in gleaming plate, carries shield. An Arakocra with a bright colorful plume and otherwise unimpressive markings carries a simple spear. An High-elf beauty in a black dress accompanied by a small song bird apparently unaware of the dangers of the battlefield. A pale blue Dragonborn, clad in steel plate, holding a sword longer than the dwarf is tall and possibly as heavy. A second Arakocra, raven black, with numerous small arms, and... Someone else, a dwarf carrying a staff with a short sword on his belt.
"This lot showed up yesterday, ready to learn what goes on in the arena! Today, bravely they return. A shadow over the land, sharp and quick as a hawk... Urrk!"
"Steel and lightning, ready to fell enemies with the fury of the storm within... Mar Varax!"
"Striking foes with grace and power, weaver of the arcane... Layla Madan!"
"The bird of prey, bringing pain to those who oppose him... Gewonnnt!"
"He hasn't been hit by any foe here. Heck he hasn't even been targeted. Have his opponents feared retaliation? Argoth Dragon Slayer!"
"Some other guy! A mixture of peace and fury on his face, he looks like he'd punch me so hard my kid would feel it... Edros Silverstone!"
As the previous fight in the village come to an end the arena shapers use their magic to alter the battle field. A 10 foot deep pit fills the majority of the space. The sides are rough and craggy. Allowing for an easy climb. Succeed a DC 15 Athletics or Acrobatics check to cut 5 feet from the climb. Fail and you will lose an extra 5 feet of movement. Steps offer from either side of the pit and wooden palisades offer cover around the edges.

Tower:
Argoth chases down Temaya and gets a hit in.
(In hind-sight her moving away would allow an Oppertunity Attack.)
Temaya turns to defend herself but collapses as her wounds become too great. (Unless I'm missing something again.)
