This is the Arena where Gladiator's will do battle until only one is Standing!
I move to stand in the light of the arena as a hush falls over the crowd. My introductions are being made by the man I spoke with before entering.
"Before you stands two men ready to die. On this side of the arena, standing 6'3" tall and weighing in at 205 pound-stones is a man hailing from the wilds of Varisia. He is as keen as a raptor on the wing, tall as the lone oak in the field, and strong as the stones of the earth from time spent in the wild. Fathers, lock up your daughters... farmers, lock up your livestock! I bring you Haggar! The Scourge of the Hinterlands!
Amid the cheers and jeers is a laughter that the man I am sure intended to evoke. I glare at the booming voice man and thinking to myself, "I will have words with him about that last part if I make it out of here alive."
Hailing from parts unknown, at over 6 feet tall and 200 plus pounds is Heshlem. His skills are reported to have no equal, and he assaults his opponents without mercy. Beware ye who face Heshlem, for if ye face Heshlem then ye face death.
Heshlem thinks to himself, "I have got to talk to the announcer about that corny opening".
" Ladies and Gentlemen, Today is a Glorious Day! For today, we have two Great Warriors Fighting for your Entertainment!"
After the Introductions, a Few wizards come out, Chant in a Spidery langauge, and suddenly, before your eyes, the Arena Disappears, You can no longer see or hear the crowd, You look around you and see you are in a Grassy Clearing. There are trees to your backs, and some Ruins to the front
Gladiator Haggar
Heshlem
Feeling a Little Dizzy from the Spell, Heshelm Comes around First, reayd for Battle!
The mages don't get to pre cast spells, so no weapons drawn. Ill post a better map w/a letter/number grid tomorrow
Heshlem is carrying a scythe and wearing chainmail. He runs south behind the tree attempting to use it as cover
After recovering from the Spell, Heshlem Sprints southbehind a Thicket of Trees.
With my holy symbol in hand, I will murmur a prayer to Old Deadeye.
"No sense hiding Heshlem," I say to out loud, "Come and let us face our fate."

"I don't know who your god is but tell him to make room for you in whatever heaven he has prepared."
Heshlem runs 19 squares to the west which should keep him inside the protective area of the Oak Tree.
Keeping my eyes open, I murmur another invocation to The Great Hunter as I anoint my club in anticipation of the action.
"I did not know that they matched me with a coward. SHOW YOURSELF!"

Yeah I meant 16. I assumed the the vegetation was just the top of the tree. If it is vegetation thick enough to impede movement I will have to adjust tactics. I will post my next action after the map is updated.
If you Run, it has to be in a Straight line, So you cannot move up to 80' and get Cover this round. Please give me an update

I am still taking my run as far to the west towards the tree as I can.
"The hunt begins my lord. I dedicate this to you. I ask that you aid my blows so they strike true," I murmur to myself.
The Battle Draws near as the Gladiators draw near, studying each other, looking for a weakness. Who will win the Compitation?
Bloodlust takes over Heshlem, and he puts tactics aside in order to satisfy the crowd.
I take a 5-foot step towards my opponent, take out my bow, and let one arrow fly.
As Heshlem releases the arrow a bug flies into his eye. This causes the arrow to fly widely to the right.
"I can't believe this [many expletives]."
Smirking to myself, I think, "Old Deadeye favors me for that distraction but now I've got to close quickly before he can get off another shot."

Heshlem thinks to himself, "He must either be up to something or very stupid to come running at me like that"
"Make peace with your diety, oh nevermind, you are about to be able to go meet him in person."
Free action:Drops bow
Move action:Draws scythe
Standard action:Attack
Attempts to confirm crit
Hashlem feels his weapon tear into the opponent.
"Your god obviously does not love you, or he would have given you the wisdom to stay away from me, or maybe he loves you so much he wants you to join him as soon as possible. Who knows? I guess you can ask him when you get there."
Sprinting Full force at Heshlem, Haggar was hoping to Catch him off guard, withour his Weapon ready. Unfortuntaly for Haggar, Heshlem saw this move coming, and greeted him with the blade of his scythe.
After haggar's Body falls to the gound, sans head, the illusion of the battle ground drops away, Allowing the Roar of the crowd to overcome Heshlem.
After a few moments, a Curious looking Construct comes out. It removed all Haggars Gear, which it piles up neatly. It then hands Heshlem a Bag with 500g. In a Very Strange, gravely voice, it proclaims for all to Hear:
Sells For
Arrows (20) 1g
Longbow, Comp (Str +2) 150g
Scale Mail 25g
Buckler 8g
Club 0g
Caltrops 1g
Potion of Shocking Grasp 25g
Smokestick 10g
Tindertwig 50s
Slowly the Device scoops up the Dead Gladiator, and removes his body from the arena.
The Next battle will Take place In a few Momnents..
Standing and stepping forward from the darkness, shadows surrounding him and revealing well-toned man with muscles all around his body Aaah... My god has granted me the chance to prove myself! Die! My next opponent will be sacrifised to my god! Kidney offered and burned! Eyes taken out and feed to crows! Ah, Darkness will collect his soul and serving in eternal darkness my grand master! Ahahaha Laughing in sadistic way, the man moves forward to the arena
Tiiiiiiiiime to get the world Blink!! From the Darkness emerge! From the Shadows was born! He walks and moves silently! He is the one and only true servant of his God! Monk from Ustalav! From Monastery of Night-Crows! Give your applause! He is here to bring the doom!
The gladiator steps into the arena, sizing up his opponent. He cracks his knuckles, and ensures that his weapons are ready, but is otherwise silent.
And his opponent! A man with no past and no name! Will this mysterious warrior be reborn here, in blood? Two daring fighters face each other in the arena, but one… will… FALL!
The dented construct returns to the area, Haggar's Blood can still be seen on the Creature, He reaches the Middle of the Arena, and pauses
With that, the Wizards return, Whispering their Spidery words of Power..
The Arena falls away, Day becomes night, a Full moon Lights the Battle ground. All around you, the Ground is grey ash, The Bones of Dragons, all snize litter the ground before you
Lekku
Varos
As both Warriors's Dizzyness wears off, Varos, Being used to darkness, adjusts first
Varos smirks and raises his one-eyed gaze towards the sky Ah my Lord! You are so precious to me! The night and darkness within it is on my side!
Varos looks around and steps fast toward, wondering where his prey might be as he draw his weapon out and jumps to the shadows.
Stealth:
Perception:
Varos thanking his God for the night This is it! He is on my side! Night is around me and I have the advantage
Abandoning the stealth, Varos move out to open field behind the pillar and takes defensive stance
However, if I am able to hide, here is stealth roll
and perception to see Lekku
You move down behind the wall, but do not see lekku
As you move down, you pay too close attention to drawing your weapons, and getting a good grip, you don;t see Varos
The pillar Provides Partial Cover, and you do not see or hear lekku.
You Move and Ready your action, you do not see or Hear Varos
Moving silently and wondering, where the another gladiator might be, Varos keep moving forward in hope to see something.
Stealth
Perception
Double Move (60 ´ft), to keep full stealth - half = 30 ´ft move in total.
S-7 to N-6
The tension grows as the Gladiator's Move about the Arena, But are not able to Locate each other. Suddenly, for a Brief Second Their Eyes lock. Lekku contnues to move back out of Varo's Sight.
You move up next to the pillar, and see Lekku Moving southeast before he Dissapears again. He did not look as if he was trying to hid his movements. However, he did seem to notice you there.
The last place you saw him was Square C12.
As your Moving to e17, you catch a Brief Glance at Varos, Attempting to Hide behind the Pillar. Your eyes Meet before you move behind the
Wall, the last place you saw him was N6
Perception
I remain still and quiet, and ready an action to throw an axe if that crazy little cyclops gets close.
The thrill of the comming fight starts to Build in each of our Gladiators, They Both know they are drawing close to trading blows
You move up to the Square, Listening for Lekku's Breathing, But the wall where you last saw him is keeping any sounds from you.
Varos map 4
Hiding behind the wall, With your axe ready, Varos doesn't come into view, However, you do Hear his footsteps Closer than when you saw him before, but you are not able to pin-point where he is, other than from the NE
varos still does not know where Lekku is, However, lekku did barely Hear Varos' footsteps, but was not able to tell the exact square.
Stealth
Moving slowly forward and preparing his nunchacku, ready to strike any weapon out of his enemy´s hand/s.
Move:H-15 [half-speed, full stealth: 15´ft]
Perception
CMB:Disarm
** spoiler omitted **
round 4 will be the last round for the night, we'll start round 5 in the morning.
Resume the killing!
waiting on Lekku to post, then round 5
Stealth: (if needed)
You still are not sure where Lekku is, your now against the wall you saw Lekku move Behind.
just as quickly as you heard him, you loose track of Varos, Although you do stand ready to hurl an Axe at him if he Comes Close.
Also, Go ahead and Roll your attack and add to the Spoiler for Readied actions. you'd take a -3 to the attack roll for the throw for being x3 the Range.
