Honorable Apprentice has been waiting in Arena Two for a week, now. I'm declaring myself the winner by default!

The Honorable Apprentice of the East Wind enters the arena at A10 and readies himself for what is to come. Arbiter:
So, are we ready for Apprentice versus Sariras?
Yeah, I'm in for another trouncing.
Arbiter:
I am now at -9 hp. Trying once more, the monk sees an opening and swings the chain in. Though he tries valiantly, the substance tossed by the kobold melting his flesh, the pain is too great and he swings short. As he sinks to the sand, in what must surely be agony, his face shows only serenity.
Arbiter:
Now at 8 hp. Still showing no emotion, the agile monk slashes again with the wicked chain, but misses cleanly. Arbiter:
The monk dashes forward and strikes again with the chain, missing his opponent by a wide margin. Arbiter:
This time, the flask connects and the monk winces in pain as he is covered in whatever it contained. Arbiter:
Now at 13 hp. Again the spiked chain lashes out, seeking to shred the flesh of the kobold. Arbiter:
The chain lashes out, but misses the agile little reptile.
This is the second character I've faced that I can't seem to hit with less than a 20, and they don't seem to be wearing any armor! And they attack with a 48? At third level? How are you people doing this? I don't mind losing, but cheese and rice! I am severely under-optimized!
Arbiter:
Touch AC is 19, so that's a miss.
I have evasion, so no damage from the splash. The nimble man easily avoids the flask and the splash from its contents. Rolling forward from his dodge , he whips the chain at his opponent. Arbiter:
"You are ready, then?" the man asks.
The human does not move, nor does his stoic expression change.
The human merely raises an eyebrow and warily steps forward, swinging his chain in front of his body. Arbiter:
Readying an action. If she comes within range of the spiked chain, Apprentice attacks!
The monkish-looking gentleman enters, wearing only a sarong and sandals, and carrying a wickedly-spiked chain. He regards his opponent with an air of calm. Arbiter:
Not much. Would give me a chance to get "revenge" for the Reign of Winter game. ;)
Throw me in as a 3rd level, please.
Once more into the breach... Arbiter:
Again, the vicious chain lashes out at the dwarf. Arbiter:
Switching tactics, the monk takes a step back () and draws forth his spiked chain. Whirling it about his body, he lashes out at the dwarf. Arbiter:
The eastern man ducks behind a pillar.
Arbiter: Ignore, please. Just keeping my opponent on his guard.
The man with the Eastern looks is unarmed and wears only a monk's robe and sandals. He enters the arena with an air of calm. Initiative:
The monk sees the blow coming and tries to dodge, but there is nowhere to run. Instead, his face becomes serene as the greatsword splits him from the top of his head to his midsection.
Arbiter:
The chain lashes out again as Basha nears, but the distance is short. The barbarian (?) moves in for the kill and makes a wild swing, but misses cleanly.
Arbiter:
Move to I11. Swiftly gathering up the slack, the monk tries again before dashing across the sandy floor.
The sword slashes deeply into the agile monk, despite his best efforts to evade, and he cries out in pain. Fortunately, the second attack cleaves only air as the man gracefully evades the blow. He whips the spiked chain around for another strike, grimacing as he does so. No sooner has the attack been made than he is moving again. Arbiter:
Moving to F17. Currently at 4 hp.
"Very well, I shall take the advantage!" the smaller man shouts, closing from Basha's right. Arbiter:
Move to E9.
The wickedly barbed chain lashes out at the larger opponent.
The man eyes his opponent. The seven-foot mountain of muscle is impressive, but fails to intimidate. Still, the lithe monk decides that it is best to keep his distance at first. He skirts the outside wall of the arena, whirling his chain above his head to create a droning sound.
The thin man closes quickly with his opponent, bridging the gap between them swiftly in hopes of ending the battle with a quick victory. Arbiter:
The man closes with his opponent and whirls the chain above his head in a widening arc. Suddenly, he releases his grip on the chain, letting it lash toward his enemy.
The human male enters the arena, taking careful note of the area around him. He wears no armor, and carries only a length of spiked chain. His head is clean-shaven and his brown eyes move to examine every sound, wary of what direction his opponent may come from. Initiative:
Initiative: 8. Perhaps a bit too wary...
I'm good with whatever is best with everyone else, but... that being said, I've been watching the HBO series Rome and they had a great arena scene, so I'm a bit anxious to get underway.
I really like the idea of different arenas. When I ran a tabletop gladiator game with PF, I used different flip-maps to simulate different arenas (I have quite a collection). I explained that the arena-builders had some very powerful magic going for them and could simulate nearly any environment. It made for a much more entertaining game.
My character has been submitted (under a different alias; this one was created for this character).
