The crowd claps politely for the two entrants, though neither has had much luck so far in the fighting. There does appear to be an actual audience, though, so this may be a good time for reputation redemption. Kailin and Sunahl enter from the north, Macho from the south.
Kailin steps out and looks around at the audience. If the larger crowd, compared to his previous match, means anything to him, he makes no indication of it. He simply turns to face his opponent and draws his blade once again, assuming a battle stance.
Sunahl slithers across the ground, taking position next to him. Like his master, he shows little inclination to posturing, and simply coils up, ready to fight.
The Macho Man enters the ring clad in his familiar leather armor and spiked gloves with spiked armguards.
He flexes his muscles appealing to the crowd.
Time to begin a world of hurt
Kailin removes one hand from his sword and makes a few arcane gestures. A blue glow radiates from the free hand and he presses it to Sunahl's back, before the eidolon moves in front of him and coils down, ready to strike.
OHHHHH LOOK A Snake, They really taste good...
he licks his chops as he advances forward As he advances he pulls something from his armored belt.
move forward and draw a potion of enlarge person as he moves (cannot drink it yet) also enter rage
rage use: 1/8
HP now 29
AC now 13
CMB now +10 (+12 grapple)
CMD now 20 (22 grapple)
.
Kailin withdraws a pinch of what looks to be black dust. Tossing it into the air, he mutters a few incantations and sparks fly between the particles, condensing on his hand, before he presses the magical energy against Sunahl once more. This magic has a much more noticeable effect, as the serpent quickly doubles in size, needing to uncoil a bit to make room for the rapid growth.
Kailin walks over to the side some distance, while Sunahl roars and darts toward Macho. Once within striking range, he snaps his head forward for a bite.
Grab (Ex) If a creature with this special attack hits with the indicated attack (usually a claw or bite attack), it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. Unless otherwise noted, grab can only be used against targets of a size equal to or smaller than the creature with this ability. If the creature can use grab on creatures of other sizes, it is noted in the creature's Special Attacks line. The creature has the option to conduct the grapple normally, or simply use the part of its body it used in the grab to hold the opponent. If it chooses to do the latter, it takes a –20 penalty on its CMB check to make and maintain the grapple, but does not gain the grappled condition itself. A successful hold does not deal any extra damage unless the creature also has the constrict special attack. If the creature does not constrict, each successful grapple check it makes during successive rounds automatically deals the damage indicated for the attack that established the hold. Otherwise, it deals constriction damage as well (the amount is given in the creature's descriptive text).
Grapple
As a standard action, you can attempt to grapple a foe, hindering his combat options. If you do not have Improved Grapple, grab, or a similar ability, attempting to grapple a foe provokes an attack of opportunity from the target of your maneuver. Humanoid creatures without two free hands attempting to grapple a foe take a –4 penalty on the combat maneuver roll. If successful, both you and the target gain the grappled condition (see the Appendices). If you successfully grapple a creature that is not adjacent to you, move that creature to an adjacent open space (if no space is available, your grapple fails). Although both creatures have the grappled condition, you can, as the creature that initiated the grapple, release the grapple as a free action, removing the condition from both you and the target. If you do not release the grapple, you must continue to make a check each round, as a standard action, to maintain the hold. If your target does not break the grapple, you get a +5 circumstance bonus on grapple checks made against the same target in subsequent rounds. Once you are grappling an opponent, a successful check allows you to continue grappling the foe, and also allows you to perform one of the following actions (as part of the standard action spent to maintain the grapple).
Macho still gets an attack of oppurtunity on it despite its improved grab due to a a class feature. question is can he take it?

** spoiler omitted **
here is the text on the ability:
Savage Grapple (Ex): At 2nd level, the brutal pugilist takes only half the normal penalties to Dexterity, attack rolls, and combat maneuver checks when she has the grappled condition. She can make an attack of opportunity against creatures trying to grapple her even if they possess the Improved Grapple feat or the grab special attack. If she hits with this attack of opportunity, she gains a +2 circumstance bonus to her CMD against the grapple attempt. She cannot make these attacks of opportunity once a grapple has succeeded. This ability replaces uncanny dodge.
Macho realizing his intial plan may not be so good recalculates his strategy.
still gripping the vial he pulled earlier Macho steps in and slams his other fist into the snake.
5' step in and unarmed strike
rage used 2 / 8
HP 21 / 29
attack on the snake
attack = 20
damage = 8
Though Macho's strike comes close, it is just barely deflected, as a blue glow, like that of Kailin's earlier spell, briefly lights up before fading out again.
Meanwhile Kailin casts the same spell as before, but on himself this time. Sunahl strikes out once more, biting again.
OHH YYYEEAAHH, Time ta stop playing and start smackin
Macho lays into the beast once more
rage used 3/8
Sunahl snarls as the blow lands. Kailin moves up behind Macho to get into flanking position, before they both strike out.
AOO attack = 23
Aoo damage = 10
Sunahl snarls and collapses in the sand.
not sensing any more movement from the snake macho turns a give a closeline type wrestling maneuver on Kailin.
macho makes a knockdown attack on Kailin
Macho then acrobatically withdraws
Kailin rolls to his feet as Macho retreats, and takes a step back. Looking over at Sunahl, he makes a gesture, and the snake disperses as if into stormclouds.
Macho is making use of the pillar for cover at the moment
using the pillar as cover I don't think he will see what macho is doing pull a potion cure light and drink
for playing purpose
Macho pulls out another vial and drinks.
Eyeing the pillar Macho waits behind, Kailin lowers his blade a moment and tosses a free hand forward. A flash of light appears by it and a screech heralds the arrival of an eagle, its plumage an unnatural blue and white. It claws at Macho without delay.
Now annoyed at the bird Macho drops the vial in his hand (never found a time to gain an advantage to use it.) and smacks this dang bird
Macho then tumbles (if the bird still is there) to get to square H9
acrobatic check = 19
As Macho approaches, Kailin sets his feet and brings the katana across in an arc.
With his opponent now right beside him.
Its time ta end this
and Macho just balls his fist and lays into Kailin with a right hook
Kailin grunts as the force hits him. "Agreed," he says quietly, in response to Macho's statement, and swings the sword forward towards Macho.
Hit and Macho goes down. (-4 HP / end rage now -8)
would have been up if I didn't roll a 1 on the CLW.
Kailin takes a breath as his opponent falls, steadying himself. He raises his sword and closes his eyes in something like a moment of silence. After a few seconds of this, he opens them again and drives the sword down.
Withdrawing the blade carefully, he sweeps it to the side to remove most of the blood and turns to leave the arena.
yeah would be nice if he could fight only one opponent for a change.
every fight has been two on one against him (at least i think it was that way.) the first one might as well should have been two on one with the mutegens giving his opponent 3 attacks a round all at nearly full attack bonus and getting critted twice in the second round of combat.
His first fight was against Kyrian wasn't it? The one against Jack actually was a 2v2, though with caster backup against 2.5(Kitty) martials, he was perhaps a little outgunned in the melee department.
