"Bryce, I think we should move to flank her. I've seen her in action, and she's quick. Very quick" Shinami slowly inches to the right hoping Bryce inches to the left to circle around the deadly lady.
Osslend attempts to lock eyes with the twin who is not presently in the ring with Brynn. He offers a cool, cruel grin and squints his eyes.
Intimidate:
Brynn quickly takes a step in, fakes a quick jab with his leading fist, but comes through with his right hook instead.
Attack action: Power-attack Q4

Dmg: Nonlethal
Aya steps forward in a menacing stance and throws a haymaker at Shinami.
1d20+14 2d3+8
She connects mightily against the left side of his rib cage. The crowd gasps.
Bryce winces as Aya's fist crunches into Shinami's ribs. He stands outside the ring, one hand on the top rope.
"Stay close and grapple," he encourages his companion. This isn't going to go well for me if Shinami goes down. Should never fight someone half my age on their own terms. Oh well, it's pride not lives. Bryce's thoughts are rueful as he studies the precise movements of his opponent.
The instant Brynn falls, he immediately attempts to roll backwards into a stand.
Second move action: stand up
Holy.... If I'm not careful, she'll tear me apart
Shinami turns with the blow and reaches up to trap the haymaker arm!
Nice recovery. Now, just stay on your feet long enough for me to... Bryce rolls his shoulders and stretches out his neck, taking deep slow breaths.
Caught up in all the action going on in the rings, Kayla seems to have forgotten exactly who she said she was going to cheer for and now seems to take turns cheering for everyone there. Even the lady fighter since she decides that since Cecil isn't going to cheer aloud for her that she should do it for him. Ouchie Shinami, that looked like that blow hurt. I told you guys not to underestimate her. Watch out Brynn! Good trip there Bo, you can put me on the ground anytime. Get back up and kick his arse Brynn!
Kayla is still thoroughly enjoying the matches, face slightly flushed with the excitement and her long copper hair flowing gently in the light breeze of the day.
Bryce looks round briefly from Shinami's bout. He sees Brynn and Osslend in the other ring, a glimpse of Kayla's young face, a glimpse of Cecil in the roaring crowd.
Four unarmed. Two distracted. No-one on watch. Middle of a crowd. Perfect opportunity.
Suddenly uneasy, Bryce looks around the crowd, looking for the ... person out of place ... the warning signs ... the shadow slipping forward to plant the knife.
Cecil thinks, "Outch. I'm so glad I didn't sign up for that. I suspect it would have already been over for me. Thank gooddess for my natural gifts. I'd be dreadful if I had to do my own fighting." He pats Owen on the head.

Brynn succesfully rolls away and regains his feet.
As Shinami gets hit with a devastating blow, onlookers are amazed to see the elf roll off the strike with little ill effect. Seeing his opportunity, the grappler shoots for Aya's arm. However, Aya is able to wriggle away.
Meanwhile, Bryce begins scanning the crowd. His eyes fall on a cloaked figure leaning against a nearby building in the shade. He cannot see the stranger's hands.
It's a hot day for such a heavy cloak...
Seeing the speed with which Brynn recovered, Bo moves to the ropes and slaps in Po.
____________
Aya grabs Shinami's arm and moves him bodily away from Bryce, cutting off his help!
She escaped that? And now she's chucking me around. What the heck IS this woman?
Panting, Shinami tucks his head down and goes back in to try to establish his grappling domain.
Cecil continues to watch both fights. His attention intensifies as the fights do.
Bryce tries to keep one eye on the cloaked figure, and one eye on Shinami's fight. It seems that Aya is eluding Shinami's attacks handily, and now Shinami is on the other side of the ring from any help. Not going perfectly, I'd say.

to notice who he keeps looking at in the crowd Sense motive
Cecil sees the cloaked figure as well.
"Kayla, do you see that cloaked man there."cecil motions"Bryce keeps looking at him. Also isn't it a bit hot for a cloak? hummm."
Kayla manages to look away from the fights and looks at the figure that Cecil points out.
Cecil (and owen) are going to casually make their way to within 55 feet of the cloaked figure and detect magic on him. If magic is present Cecil will concentrate for three rounds to get detailed information.
Kayla moves in the direction of the figure as well under the pretext of getting a better view of Bo and Po.
Cecil Casts haste on himself and Owen . whispered quietly to owen"Sic em"
Cecil then uses his remaining movement to get within 30'
Charge bite attack
Haste bite attack
Free trip attempt if attack 1 hits CMD
Free trip attempt if attack 2 hits CMD
Haste
School transmutation; Level bard 3, sorcerer/wizard 3
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, M (a shaving of licorice root)
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Targets one creature/level, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart
Duration 1 round/level=
Saving Throw Fortitude negates (harmless); Spell Resistance yes (harmless)
The transmuted creatures move and act more quickly than normal. This extra speed has several effects.
When making a full attack action, a hasted creature may make one extra attack with any weapon he is holding. The attack is made using the creature's full base attack bonus, plus any modifiers appropriate to the situation. (This effect is not cumulative with similar effects, such as that provided by a speed weapon, nor does it actually grant an extra action, so you can't use it to cast a second spell or otherwise take an extra action in the round.)
A hasted creature gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves. Any condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonus es.
All of the hasted creature's modes of movement (including land movement, burrow, climb, fly, and swim) increase by 30 feet, to a maximum of twice the subject's normal speed using that form of movement. This increase counts as an enhancement bonus, and it affects the creature's jumping distance as normal for increased speed. Multiple haste effects don't stack. Haste dispels and counters slow .

The crowd near Cecil errupts in panic.
"A MAGE. GODS SAVE US. RUN!"
The rest of the crowd stops watching the matches to see what new development has formed. Aya stays focused on her opponents, but Bo and Po are taken in by Cecil and Owen.
Owen clamps down on the stranger's arm and rests him to the ground, where he bites again.
The crowd is now difficult terrain.
Owen (who just looks like a big dog still, though he can roll to disbelieve.) will growl and hold him to the ground (readied action to attack). Cecil (hasted) moves quickly to look the man in the eye and say "Move and he tears your throat out." If he rolls sense motive he'll know I'm not kidding.
If the man continues to fight Owen will attack him until he is unconscious.

The man tries to roll away from Owen, but the eidolon is too quick.
AOO bite
Free trip attack if it hits CMBRemember he's prone so his ac is lower.
Kayla looks over to see what the commotion is. I'm assuming she has no trouble seeing Cecil and Owen in the center of it. Oh Goddess, what has Cecil gotten himself into now? He better think of a way out of this without admitting we are all government agents or we are going to be in trouble for this.
She tries to get a bit closer for a better view of the man Owen has on the ground.
Shinami sneaks one eye to glance as to what the commotion is about but dares not look for too long due to his ring mate.
Owen still watching the man. "I knew I should have packed Manicles." Cecil says to himself. Looking to anyone who's not fleeing in panic."Be at ease. The situation is handled. You are safe. Does this place have a constable?"
Diplomacy
Looking for Kayla and casting a quick message. Kayla hears Cecil as if he is whispering in her ear. "Could you join me please? I don't want this man to die if I can avoid it. I'll explain when you get here."
"Please remain calm, I'm sure there is a reason for this. Let me through so I can see to the injured man."
Kayla attempts to navigate through the crowd and checks out the man Owen has on the ground. She is completely confused as to why Cecil sicced Owen upon him and very much wants to demand an explanation, but doesn't think now is a good time to yell at him.
What should I do? I can't hit her, I can't grab her....
Shinami decides to go with grappling again as that's what he knows best.
