Nimble little Bastard. When I say stay put, I mean stay put!
Noro simply moves up to her relocated target and does a leaping elbow smash to the head

Full-Round Spin Kick Flurry w/ Ki Strike (-1 ki) vs Hitome
Will save vs Glitterdust DC 19
Ki: 5/9
"Hitome Sama," Guachen says with a respectful bow, retrieving his weapon and disappearing with his dimensional step to the far end of the arena. It's notable that, in spite of being the one who took the severe dual beating, he is merely shaken by Ai Lua's bloody display of power.
The crowd seems exultant at the furious display so far. Hitome's formal vanquishing of her opponent draws cheers, but the healing displayed a few moments later tempers it somewhat.
Watching her opponent limp away, Hitome recalls that many monks develop Fēnggé bàgōng techniques, colloquially called "style strikes," and that those who follow the so-called "Jìnyù fēnggé" or "ascetic style" can use such capabilities with weapons as easily as their fists. The particular maneuver that Guachen had used was called a Xuánzhuǎn tī, or "spin kick," where the user spins around rapidly and delivers an unexpected strike.
You can use the chosen melee weapon with any class ability that can be used with an unarmed strike, such as an unchained monk’s style strike ability. In addition, you are treated as a monk with a level equal to your character level for the purpose of determining the number of times per day that you can use feats with uses per day that depend upon your monk level, such as the Stunning Fist or Perfect Strike feats.
Seeming not to care about the cluster of combat and the opponent already throwing in the towel, the Iron Maiden gives chase to her quarry and delivers a powerful blow to the man, who looks nearly as scared of her as he does of Ai Lua.
Jonovan casts a spell that begins causing Noro to grow to giant size. The crowd seems almost full-up on spectacle by this point, though.
"Bakemono," Shuko Kien says, dropping his sansetsukon to the ground and disappearing from sight. He reappears on the exact opposite side of the pavilion and leans against the wall panting and heaving. The warrior with the kyoketsu shoge similarly lets the spinning rope drop to the ground, running swiftly away from the witnessed brutality to (hopefully) regroup.
The only one left standing is the blind warrior with the kusarigama, who only heard what happened but did not see it. Dauntless, he steps forward and hefts his weapon. "For the glory of Quain!" he shouts before turning a spinning mass of blade, spike, and flame. From within this human whirlwind come four strikes in quick succession. Hitome is able to parry the first and the third, but the second and fourth strikes--each with the kama part of the weapon--both score telling blows against her--but not as much as he might have expected. As the man's eyes clear, he sees the Blade of heaven still standing even after taking several telling blows.

A quick look around the battlefield from the silver-eyed warrior, shows a field clearly favoring their band. But battlefields are fickle. She knows this. Ai Lua believed herself winning that fateful day Noro bloodied her nose into putty.
A lesson learned hard is remembered well.
Jonovon and Noro were all the way on the other side of the arena, and Hitome was right here, so she concentrated her words on her.
"Honorable Monk." she says loud and clear with respect "Quain is indeed glorious, but you face the very heavens itself today. Hitome Murakami, THE Blade of Heaven." Her voice carries her bardic magic. Powerful desires for glory inspire her peers, and now with weavings of darker tones full fear and doubt for her foes.
The Petal Sharp Against The Moonlight moves quickly as her last word takes form, ducking under a flung kami as best she can until she is behind the lone monk. "You face the Heavens, given perfect form. Can you withstand all she can give, honorable monk? All alone?" she says like silk. Sparing a glance to his comrades, she hopes her magic finds purpose in their spirits long enough that they can take another one down.
At Lua's words, filled with magic and power, resonating throughout the arena, a hint of a smile falls across Hitome's radiant features. Her movement is a blur, a single fluid step to match The Petal Sharp Against The Moonlight's, once again flanking her opponent, as The Blade of Heaven lives up to her adulation.
The first strike, a jumping punch directly to the face, sizzling with searing acid, followed immediately by a palm strike to the chest. The momentum of both attacks flows into a merciless spinning back-kick, that strikes with such force, that her last attack completely misses the mark.
Jonovan vaguely recalled some contest rules about not looting enemy equipment, like unattended monk weapons lying on the ground. So the sorcerer decides to assist with their maintenance by providing a good thick layer of anti-rust protective coating. He flies over to the kyoketsu shoge, and casts a simple Grease.

Noro has nothing special to offer at the moment.
A little surprised at her new size. This is new she says admiring her increased size.
searching around for the last opponent. taking notice of his location she moves closer hoping to get at him with her new found size.
Discovering her size now comes with reach she managed to get close enough to reach out and smack him
