Horatio Hirschfeld - Squire imbued with fae powers, in the Coliseum of Conquest (W2/L1) DM for Reavers of Harkenwold, and sometimes The Fighting Grounds of the Coliseum
The crowd cheers. Basil congratulates you all and presents you to the roaring fans. Medics emerge. They tend to the fallen and fish Urrk from the river.
Basil leads Baryk, Gewonnt, Lawrence, Pung, and Fontanne down to the prize room. Laurie stays behind to sing the song she just wrote for the crowd.
Lawrence, Pung, and Fontanne earn 100 gold coins and 300 xp for their victory, advancing to level 2. Baryk and Gewonnt gain 400 gold and 1800 xp.
Down in the medic's office the head medic struggles to make space for the group. As Marvarax and Argoth wake they find they've earned 120 gold and 1200xp. Pung has gained 80 gold and 400 xp. Nykkan, Paren, and Ramal get 40 gold and 200 xp.
In the prize room the victors may all choose a tier 1 prize...
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 of 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.
Alternatively Baryk and Gewonnt may choose an upper tier prize...
Upper Tier:
The victor may choose 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."
To attain Victory... 3... Defeat your opponent. Every 3 rounds some encouragement will join the fight and no one wants to see another Giant Wasp.
The time:1 Day. The first fight of the day has come late in the morning. The sun is warm and the weather is clear.
Two quick and agile fighters, recently allied, enter the arena. The human, often manning the Arena tavern, and the hawkish bird-folk.
"Gracing us with his subtlety and speed, swooping, like a falcon to strike his unsuspecting prey! Gewonnt!"
"Keen and aggressive. Singeing the wings off a flies back from clear across the arena with enhanced his magic arrows! Baryk Grey Castle!"
These fighters have seen The Pits before. The earth and grass in the hole have a recently turned appearance like men have practiced here recently. Stairs offer egress out the sides though one could climb out at any point.
Arena: 3 The Pits

Fontanne, having recovered 8 hit points, thanks Lawrence quite warmly, then attempts to introduce the wasp to the deep ocean's chill.

"Chicken fried wasp is going in my tavern tonight! Eyyaahhh!!!"
The insane Halfling charges in (to the nearest space adjacent to the wasp) and attempts to decapitate the wasp with his large sharpened butter knife!

(It looks like Pung and Baryk have finished the wasp off, but if they haven't, this is what Gewonnt does)
"DIE, DIE, DIE!!!" Gewonnt shouts at the top of his lungs, striking the wasp in time with the words.
