"Well, I suppose we'll start brutally attacking and possibly killing one another. Any thoughts, assorted arena people?" 

"Well I was thinking about giving everyone a gift... an arrow struck somewhere in their body." 😊

"Well, I plan on ritually consuming the firstborn child of my lifelong nemesis Acererak, but that lazy fool is off exploring the universe as a disembodied soul, so no ritual consumption for me. I'll have you know that *I* became a lich first, without the help of a demon lord, to boot. Of course, none of you kids understand the real value of undeath, you all would rather drink unreliable potions; the elves are the lucky ones (but anyone unfortunate enough to have talk to them sure aren't lucky), getting to live to 700 and be whiny pretentious tree hippies all the while. Of course, I've met non-pretentious elves, but I've also met friendly kobolds. Man, Yik was the best sorcerer I've ever met; good lad, still know him to this day. As a matter of fact blah I blah blah blah etc etc etc And THAT is why you never buy shrimp from a friendly wandering troglodyte."

"Well I was thinking about giving everyone a gift... an arrow struck somewhere in their body." 😊

 A certain masked hunter tried that on me. It didn't end well for him. 

Maybe he just did not put enough arrows into that scaly hide of yours.

The competitors step out onto the battle field.

"Oh man, you guys are gonna take all day aren't you." Basil laments. "Well lets get started." He introduces each competitor in turn.

"Back again. She fought well in her last bout. She's sure to make a remarkable showing again! Sarah Sharlier!" The beautiful girl has distinct Elven features. She wears light leather and carries a great bow while a pair of simple swords sit on her belt.

"A long time fan stepping foot in the ring for the first time! Ashiera Thorn Star!" A lovely Elven girl Similarly equipped to the other, only she has a greater number of light arms on her person.

"Quiet and swift, fading into the woodwork and striking with finesse! Nilwarith!" The elf carries little more than a wooden stick.

"The heir of her house, proving the metal of her heritage! Denka of the Bronze bloodline!" The stunning elfish girl wears no armor but the glimmering scales of her right arm.

"The trouble maker finally steps up to the plate. An old man reliving the glory of his youth! Banjo Man, Lord of the Swamp!" Banjo didn't bring any equipment, he might be a bit confused or disoriented.

"Another powerful competitor who won't be deterred by an early defeat. The immortal! Gell Grey Rock!" Carrying a few light arms, but no armor, the signs of his or fish heritage are apparent.

"A new challenger approaches. A defender of the faith! Hornar!" A dwarf wearing heavy chain armor and a shield. He keeps a long hammer on his belt.

"Looks like we're primed for a musical duel. A creature of war and strife out of place in the lands of men! Swigg!" Swigg has a board's starting equipment. (I'm going to need a character sheet for him.)

(BDaddLy pulls out a carved wooden box and finds inside figurines to represent your characters. The accuracy is remarkable. Ashiera Thornstar:, Nilwarith: N, Banjo Man: B, Hornar: H, Swigg: S)

Teams: Sarah will fight with... (5)... Banjo... (2)... Ashiera and... (4)... Denka.

The teams prepare in their starting rooms, and the gates burst open as horns blare. The battle begins...

(Round 1: Sarah, Ashierra, Denka, and Banjo are up.)

Every one starts each battle with one Potion of Healing.

Reading the map:

This is a 20 foot by 20 foot area:

01  .  .  .  .
   A  B  C  D

Key: '=' High wall (8ft.), '-' Low wall (2ft.), '.' Turf

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.

Ashiera moves out to C6 to capture the flag and ready an arrow for the first foe she sees.

Sarah moves out to L3 to capture the flag and ready herself for the first foe she sees.

Banjo to L2. He readies himself to dodge any ranged attacks coming his way

Denka advances to D3 and will Ready a Fire bolt for the first enemy she sees.

Vurnic charges through the hedges and goes for Mash with his glaive.

Attack: 23 Damage: 12

Og will use his readied attack on Vurnic, after Vurnic's glaive lodges in the hedge next to him.

Attack: 22 Damage: 10

Og's maul just barely manages to crack Vurnic's plate (I think?).

(Hey BDaddLy i was wondering is it hard to jump into another match like how does that work. if it is possible what are the consequences. Also im just wondering i totally dont want to do it.)

 You wait til he announces the next match for your level. It could happen right after a match, or it could be a while before it starts.

(Because of the way the rotation works, you usually have about a week in between matches at least.)

Village: (Round 1)

Ashiera Sarah and Denka are Ready, are mirroring eachother's movements like a choreographed battle in a play.

(Ashiera, are you up stairs or down? Also, note: C-6 is just out of range of the flag.)

Banjo prepares for incoming attacks.

Labyrinth: (Round 2)

Vurnic charges forward but his massive weapon gets caught up in the hedges along the way, pulling on a branch and snapping back in his face as he moves into range of the Orc.

Og doesn't hesitate, crushing Vurnic in spite of his plate.

Pendragon moves forward keeping his spell Ready.

(D M N N vs. Z V Q B)

Zevryl approaches Og, but keeps his distance, firing a ray of frost at him.

Attack: 18 Damage: 7

On his turn, Og will move to within 5 ft. of Zevryl and maul him.  If he can't do that without provoking an AoO from Vurnic, he'll instead target Vurnic.  He will use Divine Smite if the attack hits.

Attack: 18 Damage: 7

Possible Divine Smite: 7

(Shoot, just realized I forgot to reroll the 1 for my previous attack: 1)

(So, Vurnic takes a total of 11 damage.)

(Wow, Og is now officially scary.  If that attack had landed, it would have dealt 21 damage.  That's enough to one-shot a lot of 2nd level characters.)
