The trumpets blow in the Grand Arena. The magical torches dim for a moment, then flare in expectation of battle. The image of a half-elf bard, Count Agaman's personal herald, appears in the center of the arena. Every detail, from the fine stitching of his clothing to the perfectly manicured nails and hair, is on display in the 20 foot illusion. His voice carries through the arena, over the excited crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen of the court, Count Agaman is delighted to have you as a guest for today's entertainment. The next match is one that will be written about in song and legend, for the four brave gladiators are honorable and courageous."
A new illusion appears next to him, the participants in today's battle. He gestures to the pair on his right. "The winner of their last three matches, the defending team has proven themselves in this very arena. Tyrus Green, a man so charismatic that even his enemies cannot resist his favor, stands tall with Beckett the Wolf Lord, who is a testament to the power of Erastil."[b] He gestures to his left to introduce the second team. [b]"The challengers today are accomplished and fearsome additions to the Arena. Johnny Red is truly a beast in his heart, exploring the dark heart that beats within each of us. Cornelius is a mysterious figure who never errs once he chooses a mark. Which team shall overcome the other? Which team shall win the glory? Which team will prove themselves the victor in the arena?" As he reaches his crescendo of introduction, the crowd goes wild with applause and begin chanting the names of the gladiators.

Returning the hand slap, "Let us do this!"
The Wolf Lord Charges forward and begins to attempt to win and scare the crowd a bit.
"It is good that you are here. Let us set a side a few moments of prayer and rememerance for all those that hae faught here, and fallen.
You come together into a nice community. Come for adventure. . . for excitement. But more than that. ", arching his shoulders back, and letting out a bloody howl towards the sky along wth Valora, the Wolf, "You come for BLOOD, and here . . . you . . . shall . . . have . . . it!!!!!.
Turning towards the distant gladiators across the arena "Come now trash, I can already smell your fear."
The fighters look out into the arena and see large boulders straight ahead blocking their view of the opponents' starting area. To the southwest, a 20 foot high bonfire burns brightly. To the northeast, a large tree looms over the sands, offering cover from above.
As Beckett emerges, the crowd cheers for him. They begin to chant his name, "Beck-ett, Beck-ett!" Money begins exchanging hands rapidly as the betting grows more intense.
Won't be necessary. Johnny Red has the higher total Initiative modifier, so he goes first.
If two or more combatants have the same initiative check result, the combatants who are tied act in order of total initiative modifier (highest first). If there is still a tie, the tied characters should roll to determine which one of them goes before the other.
Once Cornelius acts in the preparation round, we can begin the action. When you post, please begin with the following format:

Wolf Fang
"Your fear reeks, cowards! So much so that my friend can barely stand your smell and had to travel to the bountiful fields of Elysium to bed 101 half-angelic, heavenly fey virgins in the baths of Ingridicus to rid himself of your abomination!", making a grandious sweeping motion to the crowds.
"HOW DARE YOU attempt to assualt these people with your stench of a hundred thousand kobald whores", whilst mockingly holding his nose and waving as if to brush away a foul smell.
The crowd cheers Beckett's trash talk on. One of them throws a mug at the arena, which bounces harmlessly off the [/i]wall of force[/i].

That peasant is mouthy. I will have to put him down along with his puppy.

With a shimmer, the walls of force keeping the gladiators in the preparation area disappear. The crowd roars as the herald shouts,
Johnny strides forward to T11, while drawing his bow, with Walker following to occupy T9, T10, U9, U10 (Move Action), and commands Walker to Defend (Free Action).
Johnny then yells to the crowd while sneering at Beckett, “I think this dog needs a bath!” and casts Aqueous Orb on squares A11, A12, B11, and B12

Round 1, Initiative 14.
Standard Action:
Tyrus watches Beckett charge out to the delight of the crowd. He creeps out behind him and waits for his advesaries to approach. He also reaches into his haversack and draws a wand.
Heading in the direction of Beckett’s voice, Johnny moves to Q13 with Walker following to occupy Q11, Q12, R11, R12 (Move Action), and commands Walker to Defend (Free Action).

Johnny Red and Beckett the Wolf Lord see each other through the gap in the boulders. Johnny gestures as he casts some spell. Archy and Beckett can see each other as well, but Archy has the boulder as cover.

Round 2, Initiative 15
Letting out another wolfish howl, The Wolf Lord channels the divine through him, asking for protection and an annoyance to his "enemies", then drops to ll fours, and moves to a slightly better position, Valora right beside him.
Move from D 14 to H 15 and wolf to H 16
The harmless looking vegetation seems to tear at Beckett's feet as he moves around the bonfire, cutting and slashing his skin away. Even the wolf is cut by the surprisingly sharp vegetation.
The wolf has quick reflexes and a predator's gait. She is not slowed, but her master is.
I am taking a 5 foot step to M-13.

If the shot confirms I add will this to the previous damage

edit 3: All my attack rolls should be one point higher.
edit 4:My last shot should have been at a +7, but I got a nat 20 so I have to confirm
I doubt an 11 confirms, and I will set up the attack rolls in my profile to avoid the mess I just created happening again.
edit 5: Archy ask in a determined but restrained voice, "Do you yield wolf-man?"
Archy moves with amazing speed, firing off five arrows in six seconds. As Archy's arrows fly towards Beckett, a magical field of multicolored hues appears around him. They veer at the last moment, caught up in the aura of chaos.

Most of them make it through the aura and land true. The first two arrows are fired as a pair, cutting deep into his flesh as they land together. The third arrow pierces his skin while the fourth misses by inches. The fifth and final arrow appears as if it is going to strike him in the heart, but instead is knocked off course and lands in the sand instead.
Tyrus watches the arrows flash across the field and strike Beckett. He turns toward Archy, speaks an incantation and gestures towards him.
He glances at his victim to see if his attack was successful, then darts back behind the rocks after casting his spell.
free action: "You can't hide forever."
"Curse you! You're luck will run out soon enough!", Tyrus yells back at Archy.
Tyrus fades into view as the invisibility wears off, but quickly ducks behind a boulder before becoming entirely visible. As he moves around the boulder, his feet are cut by the same sharp vegetation. Fortunately, after a few feet, they are no longer painfully digging into his legs. As he rounds the boulder, he and the big pet snake of one of his opponents can see each other through the gaps.
Seeing Beckett move to the south on the other side of the large stone, Johnny moves to Q17 with Walker following to occupy O14-P15 (Move Action), and commands Walker to Defend (Free Action).
Johnny then takes a shot at Beckett with his bow yelling, “You shall yield eventually, Pin Cushion. Here, let me add to your collection!”

Round 3, Initiative 15
The Wolf Lord, who by all accounts of the suffering he should be taking, still stands. Blood gushes out of many wounds, more than there should be present, pooling at his feet and spurting to form a small rain down his armor.
Still Standing, even after that punishment.
Valora will move to I 13

Torinath I thought you had to specify what you were readying an attack against. In other words you have to specify regular attack or grapple, and the condition under which your snake would or would not make the attack. You could have it attack the Beckett specifically or his wolf specifically allowing the other one to pass, or either one, without a preference once they get within range of it. If it is good enough for the DM it is good enough for me though.

Archy mutters himself "Oh great, another spell."
Archy says "You are only stalling wolf-man." "I doubt yeilding will be an option this time."

I am still confused about what is going on. Are you meaning to target me, or Tyrus, which just moved behind the rock? Who is your Snake attacking? Your teammate is the only one close enough, or are you confussed where you are at?

The snake is not attacking anyone. Torinath does seem to have line of sight to you from Q 17.
Q 17 is below you and to the right of the screen.
Johnny moves to Q17
