Rothander, your mortal form is impressive indeed... But I think I can make a few improvements.
Parabolus' magical rod glows a vibrant green as he directs it at his ally. Rothander's flesh then begins to twist and contort as long white hair grows from his body. His muscles bulge as he transforms into a hideous ape-like creature.

Denka will cast Mirror Image and run up next to Scarab who is also on the don't kill list and will quicken a fire bolt at Maginio and twin it to cast it at the snake aswell

Tomb Round 3:
(Just a quick note, Denka would not be able to both quicken and twin the fire bolt, but she would be able to quicken mirror image and twin fire bolt to the same effect)
Scarab busts down the wall and steps onto the teleporter, suddenly appearing at N11. Everyone in the arena hears the sound of arcane energy being discharged, as well as the vrmm of the deactivated right hand teleporter (Congratulations Scarab you are now locked in a deathmatch with Throst).
As Denka runs to Scarab, three images of her suddenly appear, all perfectly identical to the original. Then, channeling the draconic power of her ancestors, she launches twin blasts of fire at Maginio and his snake. The first blast hits Maginio dead on, but does minimal damage while the other turns his snake into smoked sausage (instadeath).
Bones begin to pop out of the wall on the eastern side of the cavern, eventually coalescing into a skeleton at P7. The animated bones peer around, searching for its first victim. Perception: 2
The skeleton's massive wisdom allows it to determine that there are rocks. It will move to K10, clumsily opening the door on its search for blood.

Ja, the bard, prepares for his match. In the prep room. He plays an exciting song on his Bandore, https://youtu.be/Hy0aEj85ifY
Baryk witnesses his preparations:
Ja sings an inspiring tale of Baryk's fame, which has only expanded upon his arrival at the Coliseum. (Bardic inspiration die, d10, use it. He has more.) His song bends reality to protect Baryk, Ja, and even Baryk's bird, granting each who wishes the benefits of Mage Armor, but the song continues. Ja's eyes flash with a sharp piercing gaze as he sees into the ethereal plane (See Invisibility), and suddenly Ja becomes Invisible himself even as he continues his casting (Greater Invisibility). He touches the pearl that hangs around his neck, regaining some of his power, and then picks up his glass staff, which grows gnarled and knotted like a wild oak root (Shillelagh). Finally he imagines himself cowering still, trying to remain hidden and hiding in a corner. The illusory image of this appears real (Minor Illusion)
[Edit: He can not properly use a Staff of Defence I'm giving him a different item instead.]
Ja hides. (Stealth: 25), standing perfectly still and silent.
Tomb Round 2.5:
Throst hears Swigg's suggestion, "Get out of my head, worm!"
Wisdom Saving Throw: 24
Swigg's excessive rocking diminishes his ability to hide.

Rothander, your mortal form is impressive indeed... But I think I can make a few improvements.
Parabolus' magical rod glows a vibrant green as he directs it at his ally. Rothander's flesh then begins to twist and contort as long white hair grows from his body. His muscles bulge as he transforms into a hideous ape-like creature.
He then moves to G15
