Quote:
another set of candidates is walking to the gathering from another tent. One in uniform similar to Kullif's, and six more individuals.
As you walk they scan you carefully, but do not otherwise interact.
Endoin returns the favor. Scanning quickly through the ranks of newcomers. He only pays half attention to the introductions and presentation of the challenge. He instead spends most of his attention studying this Elf opponent.
Once everyone is in position, Shadowhand Ziti looks at the arena again to check everything seems in order. He leans back into his seat, eyeing the arena with interest. "BEGIN!" he shouts. A short moment after, horns are heard from the crowd. The trial starts.

Fabian grips his holy symbol before rushing forth. "Lady of Valor, show your favor upon us in this trial!"
I assume Fabian hopped off the 15 ft platform, so that will be 7 damage unless you want to ↺ Grab an Edge as an acrobatics roll or reflex save to break the fall. Let me know.
Fabian jumps off the platform and blesses the area around him.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the arena, the leshy attempts to leap over to the platform next to the pool of water. With a running start, the leshy leaps...
Athletics:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
...and lands on the platform as the wood underneath creaks. The crowd that surrounds the arena let out a collective cheers as he lands. You could swear you heard some branches snapping as the leshy lands. The leshy pulls out a length of rope from their backpack.
While the leshy is rummaging for rope, the dwarf slams his fists together as winds start whistling on top of the other platform. He slams his fists again, this time with more gusto. As he does, the winds start pushing into the backs of his team. Beckoned by the elements, they move down the platform.

Remquar looks around in fascination during all the preliminary proceedings, taking in the surroundings and all the tantilizingly diverse assembled people. As they proceed to the event platform, Rem seems a little bewildered by the setup and mutters, "Unfortunately, obstacle courses were never my forte back home..." Indeed, although he does not look scrawny, neither does he look particularly muscular.
As the event starts, Rem watches in fascination as the leshy performs a tremendous leap and then in astonishment as the dwarf appears to channel the element of air. He smiles hearing Fey's inspiring song and seeks not to be outdone by the dwarf.
Remquar presses his palm together, causing air to swirl around him and then thrust his palms forward, sending a blast of air at the leshy. Channel elements with free elemental blast, one action.
Rem's aim is off but he refocuses and tries again, concentrating more deeply and letting Fey's song guide him, sending a second blast at the leshy, this time of air crackling with electricity (simply because it may put on a better show). 2 action elemental blast, which allows him to add his CON modifier to damage.
Without even seeing the result of his attack, he allows himself to be pulled along by the blast, off the platform, floating slowly to the ground. The air impulse junction allows him to stride half his speed before or after a two-action impulse, and his air cushion reaction allows him to fall unharmed.
Fey lowers herself off the platform to the sand-covered floor as Tamhar and Remqaur launch a barrage of attacks at the leshy. Utilising the wall of the pool, the leshy dodges the strikes. All but one - Tamhar's arrow strikes the creature as leaves fly off and into the pool.
While Remqaur gently flows to the arena floor, picking up sand, the goblin and elf dash to get closer to the bags hanging above the pool, taking one side each. The orc, however, attempts to imitate the success of his floral ally and makes a running leap towards the pool platform.
Long Jump, Athletics:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
On the last step, he stumbles and doesn't quite make the jump. He crashes face first into the sand as a series of Oh-s can be heard from the onlookers. With a little red on his cheeks, he stands up and dusts himself off, pondering his next course of action.

"Nice shot, hon," Endoin cheers. "Let's see here..."

"Nope, I'll leave you to it. See if you can put him down before he runs off with one of our bags." Endoin then goes down the ladder and starts running towards one of the ladders on the water barrier.

Fabian rushes forward, closer to the water while also focusing on his spell and expanding the emanation of Iomedae's blessing.
Please note the bonuses from Courageous Anthem/Inspire Courage and Bless are both status bonuses. As such, they do not stack. Just throwing that out there.
I have also added a table to the map to help calculate emanation distance.
With his rope now pulled from the backpack, the leshy next to the pool tosses one end of the rope at the nearest bag...
Since there are no rules for this, I will treat it as a ranged attack (DC 20) with a 10 ft range increment. Since the bags are hanging 15 ft above the pool, the total range for this particular attack is 20 ft.
Ranged attack:1d20 + 5 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 5 - 2 = 17
The rope falls back without coiling around. The leshy tries again...
Ranged attack MAP-5:1d20 + 5 - 2 - 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 - 2 - 5 = 18Nat 20, so improving from failure to success
...this time, the rope swings around and coils itself around the rope that holds the bag perfectly. "Hahaaa! I got a big one, guys!" the leshy exclaims and gets ready to start pulling the bag down.
Peaburney Weaver:
◆ Stride, ◆ Strike, ◆ Strike
Meanwhile, the dwarf takes a few steps back and gets ready for a leap...
Long Jump, Athletics:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
...and clears the jump over to the other platform. He does grunt in pain as he lands, however.

Remquar sends another blast of electrified air at the leshy.
sending a second blast at the leshy, this time of air crackling with electricity (simply because it may put on a better show). 2 action elemental blast, which allows him to add his CON modifier to damage.
He allows himself to be carried forward with the blast (the air impulse), and then he moves up the ladder and onto the platform. I can’t seem on my phone to move the counter, but he has enough move to get him to the platform

Sorry for the wait, I had less time than I thought getting ready for chaperoning prom yesterday. If I'm reading the stuff correctly, courageous anthem only lasts one round, so the +1 to attack, damage, and saves from fear is dropped now that Fey is taking her turn.

Fey ends her uplifting song to take a ◆step forward and extends her free hand in front of her, pointing at the dwarf to cast ◆◆Void Warp on the poor, unfortunate soul.

The leshy holding the rope tries to duck behind the pool's edge, but Tamhar's and Remqaur's shots strike true even through the barrier. As the leashy collapses to the floor of the platform, the rope dangles limply from the bag, one end floating on the pool's surface.
The dwarf's veins pulse black as he grunts in pain. He resists the worst effects, but could obviously feel Fey's spell.
The goblin charges towards the leshy, pulls out a potion, and empties it into the leshy's... mouth/proboscis/cavity thing.

The elf observes the scene, and anger flashes across their face. "Is that how it's going to be? Fine!"
He lashes out, targeting the amnurrun. Remqaur senses an intrusive force attempting to pierce his mind.

Endoin runs up to the wall by the water. He pulls out his bow and, despite the short distance, uses magic to contact Fabian. 'Hey, can you hurry over and see if you can cut down the entire supporting line. Just drag the entire contraption this way with all the bags at once.'
◆ Stride, ◆ Draw shortbow, ◆ Amped Message Fabian can ↺ Step or Stride
I'm going to say that there is a wooden beam above the pool, and individual bags each have their own rope hanging from it. So, in theory, you could either pull down the whole beam, break it, or climb it, and then run across, cutting each rope individually. And I will say the beams are set in the ground just behind the fountains at 12 and 6 o'clock. Good luck!
The halfling runs up the ladder to the platform, looks at the leshy, and channels a spell into her companion. The leshy's leaves turn back to their original lush green, if not more than before.

Rem shakes his head, looks at the elf, smiles, and growls: ”It’s not nice to try to mess with someone’s head!”
I assume that’s a save but let me know if there’s partial damage.

Having finally reached the platform near the water, Fabian backs up to gain some momentum before pulling himself up on the platform and leaping towards the nearest bag!
Remqaur damage from DazeDaze damage:1d6 ⇒ 4Halving that to 2, since you saved.
Fabian, the high jump action is incredibly difficult to pull off, for some reason. With an athletics roll of 17, I will say you did it to the top of the platform.
Looking around and recognising that things are getting quite violent, the dwarf, again, slams his fists together. This time, small metal shavings rise up from the ground and swirl around the man. With a series of quick, practiced motions, the metal bits stick to his body to form a protective shell.
Some, however, remain around him, and the dwarf hurls part of them at the nearest blue team member. In this case, Fabian.
The barrage of metal needles pierce into Fabian, tearing cloth and flesh. The onlookers from the side of the arena let out a collective cheer and clap.
The dwarf smiles. "That's what you get. We wanted to play nice.

Rem will use his base kinesis power to pull air above and behind the nearest bag towards him, and in the process hopefully swing the bag within grasping distance. If that works, he will use his remaining action to secure the bag in his grasp.
If it is clear that base kinesis will not work in that fashion, I will revise his actions. If it is clear base kinesis will not work only AFTER expending the two actions on it, then he will pull out a rope to attempt what the leshy attempted before (although it seems quite difficult).
Wind picks up near one of the bags above the pool as the bag starts to swing back and forth, not unlike a pendulum.
Remqaur, roll me an athletics check to grab and maintain a hold on the bag. If you fail it, it will swing back to the other side, where the other team will be able to grab it.

The luck of the dice not with Rem yet!
Rem grabs for the bag as it swings near but he fails to grab a firm hold.
Will it swing back my next turn? Any other skills I can use, such as acrobatics?
The bag eludes the amurrun's grasp and swings back above the pool, this time heading for the other end of the arena. When attempting to grab it, the Remqaur notes that the bag weighs roughly 30 kg (approximately 2 bulk) and is filled with sand-like material.
You can certainly jump after it into the pool if you wish. There is no barrier there. I will allow you one more action. So it's either move or some other 1-action thing.
Side note, that pool is not deep either. It's knee-deep, with the surface approximately on the same level as the wooden platform next to it.

Seeing three opponents on the other side of the pool, Rem decides it would be wiser to wait for the bag to swing back than to jump after it (hoping that his opponents fail to grab it). He lifts his horn and blows to inspire his allies, taking inspiration from and adding his own style to the melody and rhythm of Fey's piece.

Tamhar moves up in front of her teams starting platform (2 actions) then lets off one more shot with her bow to try to keep the leshy from keeping the bag it has.

"Of course that's how it is - don't you want to win?" Fey retorts to the elf, grinning wildly as she lifts her hands and points. Three eerie, purple shots hone in and slam into their opponent.

I may have mathed wrong. Text says "If you shoot more than one shard at the same target, combine the damage before applying bonuses or penalties to damage, resistances, weaknesses, and so forth." It's normally 1d4+1. If I did the damage part wrong, send help lol
Tamhar moves into a better position and fires her bow. The shot goes wide, pinning the arrow into a plank wall near the crowd of onlookers. Fey conjures three magical bolts, slamming them into the elf and causing him to recoil in pain. As the elf grunts, strands of ether release from his body and eyes go whites. He looks at his previous target - Remqaur. Once again, the amurrun feels his mind being assaulted from within. The elf then looks at the orc below the platform. "Hurry, Mok! Let's clear them out!"

"I didn't make the rules, I'm just following them," Endoin hollers back to the dwarf.
"Speaking of which," he says while pointing his bow towards the leshy, "People keep trying to convince me that this isn't supposed to be a fight to the death. I even heard the announcer say that when you are down you are out of the trial." Endoin grins wickedly. "Apparently that is not the case." he says while firing his bow and launching an attack with his mind - but not against the leshy. He instead fires both attacks against the Orc with the healing chalice.
Endoin launches an attack with his bow and a mental strike, the leshy is suddenly yanked to the edge of the arena by an unseen force. From the onlooking crowd, a man in flowing robes looks at all of you and shouts. "Sorry about the delay. This is already too thrilling."
Leshy is out of the fight.
However, the leshy kept holding onto the rope for a little too long. As the coiled rope twists around the rope above the bag, the bag rope breaks. The bag below plummets into the water pool. Red bag

The orc gets hit by an arrow and immediately afterwards doubles over in pain from the mental jolt.
The halfling watches as the leshy is pulled away, curses under her breath, and runs closer to the now fallen bag. She looks at the other side of the water. Seeing Fabian and Remqaur, she makes a slashing motion at the air. Ripples suddenly expand, cross the pool and strike at both of them.
The pool wall next to Fabian gets slashes by an invisible force. Remqaur, however, is struck directly by cutting winds.

After taking a big hit, Fabian calls upon Iomedae's magic to keep him upright, before taking a leap at the bag across from him!
Feeling low on health, Fabian draws a magical sigil in the air as some of his wounds close. After that, he leaps over the pool, impacting the nearest bag. As you hit and grab, the bag feels firm but malleable to a degree, as if filled with sand. You dangle from the rope for a few short moments before the rope holding you above the water gives. Both Fabian and the bag drop into the knee-high pool of water.
The dwarf, seeing Fabian release a bag, extends his hands towards the Inheritor's faithful, and the needles surrounding the dwarf descend upon Fabian.
The needles impact Fabian again, ripping and tearing into him. The water in his immediate area takes on a crimson hue as Fabian hangs on a thread.
Seeing an opportunity, the dwarf repeats the motion, sending another hail of needles at the bleeding cleric.

Rem sees Fabian, clutching a bag, fall in the water, 35-40 feet away, and then he sees the water turn red as the holy warrior is assailed by the dwarf. Rem looks at the bag moving towards him, curses quietly in frustration, moves closer to Fabian, and blows his horn to send a cascade of healing sound towards his ally.

Fey, seeing Rem handling Fabian (and briefly wondering if she should have taken the time to learn some healing spells), turns her attention to the dwarf that's been whaling on her comrades. She reaches out her hand and a purple, sparkling Void cloud spreads out over Bersul, attempting to drain his life away.

Tamhar sees Fabian and Ramquar take some nasty hits. “Hey Fabian, if you want to quickly get that bag and come back over here, I have an elixir of life you can have.”
Tamhar quickly glances between the halfling and the orc, making a quick decision that though the halfling seems to be the bigger threat, the orc has the greater chance of keeping his team up and conscious.
She moves about 15 feet farther down the row in front of the platform, and lets off two arrows at the orc.
While Tamhar changes her position, Fey mentally assaults the dwarf, who is already in a world of hurt. He doubles over in pain, hanging by a thread. She raises a force barrier in front of her just as Tamhar launches two arrows at Red team's orc. First goes wide, but as he is about to laugh at Tamhar's aim, his shoulder is pierced by another.
The goblin on the platform decides to take Fabian's bag. After disposing of Fabian in the first place. He fires, reloads, and fires again. Fabian quickly moves the bag to be in the way, and the two bolts impact the fabric as sand starts spilling through the bolt holes.
Thinking fast, Fabian turns the bag towards the attacker once more, and the hammer slams down on the bag, cushioning the blow.
The elf uses his same trick again, this time on the man with the bag.

Endoin keeps an eye on the movements of the elf out of habit more than anything else.
Devise:1d20 ⇒ 2
Not seeing much of an opening, he taps into his Psychic abilities a bit deeper and starts throwing words instead of sticks and stones. "Hey there, orc guy. Don't you think it is a bit unsanitary to be sharing that same cup around to everyone?"
Spell attack (+bless):1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 = 9Oh good grief. Yeah, I'll hero point that if it is available. Spell attack(+bless):1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 = 27 Sonic damage:2d6 ⇒ (4, 1) = 5
Endoin then ducks down better behind the barrier containing the water.

The orc seems confused for a hot second. He looks at the chalice, and back at Endoin. "Huh? What's 'unsanitary'?" he asks as the spell impacts and hits hard enough for the orc to take a step back - over the platform's edge. In a clumsy fall, he knocks himself out. Immediately, his body is pulled to the side of the arena and stabilised.
Meanwhile, as that unfolds, the halfling manages to sneak away with a bag from the pool. As the orc is pondering hygiene, the halfling leaps into the pool, picks up the nearest bag, and disappears under the platform.

As Fabian fights off the spell, he momentarily wonders if he cuckolded the opposing team in a past life, before moving back towards his team's platform and throwing the bag up on top of it.
Norgammo shouts "Hey, Bersul! You... need to... magnetise his armor first?" and shrugs.
With Norgammo being really helpful, Bersul sighs, breaking his form, and both blasts that were aiming for Fabian go wide.

“Ok this shooting everyone to keep them from getting bags does not seem to be doing the trick” Tamhar says. “So I guess I am going to have to join in the action.”
Tamhar gets a bit of a running start and attempts to take a roll/dive up onto the platform in front of the bags. She gets in line with one of the bags and makes a leap.

Remquar figures that their side can get some advantage just by reducing the numbers on the other side so he sends a blast of electrified air at the dwarf.
2 action elemental blast, which allows him to add his CON modifier to damage.
2 action Elemental blast:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Electricity damage:1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
He uses the unleash of power to move (the air impulse) over to the swinging bag.
Rather than make a likely futile attempt to grab the swinging bag, Rem plays an inspiring melody on his horn (inspire courage).
Interestingly enough, there are no acrobatics actions associated with climbing or jumping in the acrobatics skill. I will use your roll for an athletics check instead, but since it's essentially a scaffolding, it's easy to climb.
Tamhar quickly shimmies up onto the platform, leaps and grabs one of the bags abvoe the pool. Again, the rope above snaps and both she and the bag fall into the water.
While that is happening, the dwarf seems to be getting ready to intercept Tamhar's attempt. He lifts his foot to step forwards, but is immediately stopped by powerful localised winds cutting at his feet. Already exhausted from the fight, he fall to his knees, takes a few breaths, and collapses to the floor, only to be immediately pulled to the edge of the arena by an unseen force.

Fey, surveying the current situation, moves along the scaffolding without climbing up and makes her way toward Rem so that he isn't by himself and easy to pick off.
The bardic sorceress turns her gaze to Stub the goblin and locks eyes with him, attempting to push a madness-tinged mental jolt into his brain. (madness-tinged is just flavor)
Daze damage; mental:1d6 ⇒ 1Stunned 1 if crit fail on the will save
Fey gets on the platform and assaults the goblin's mind. To some effect, but the goblin doesn't seem to mind a little extra madness. Instead, he reloads his device, and spins up some gears on it, and aims for Remqaur.
The arbalest, shaking to contain the power surge, messes up his aim. The bolt impales the water surface.
The elf growls in frustration. Enough of this.", and runs to one of the bags. He reaches for it...
1d20 ⇒ 9
but fails to tear it down. He tugs again.
1d20 ⇒ 16
and this time, the rope gives and the bag ends up in his hands.

Endoin watches the elf grabbing at a bag and grins.
"Good job, hon," he calls out to Tamhar while he knocks an arrow.
Endoin waits patiently for the elf to fumble with the bag and finally get it loose. Tense and ready, but motionless, he watches as the rope breaks and the bag starts coming downwards. Right as the bag crosses in front of the elf's face and blocks his vision, Endoin draws and aims the bow.
He releases the arrow.
As the elf works to secure his grip on the bag, the arrow flies directly through where the bag was just moments before.
