Readying an Action
You can ready a standard action, a move action, a swift action, or a free action. To do so, specify the action you will take and the conditions under which you will take it. Then, anytime before your next action, you may take the readied action in response to that condition. The action occurs just before the action that triggers it
The ready action lets you prepare to take an action later, after your turn is over but before your next one has begun.
For once the hooded little man stood in the open. "Finally," a shredded and singed Ritti grunts as she drops her crossbow, drawing out her blade as she rushes across the sands. "Let's do this!"
Ritti`s blade slices the already heavily wounded ratman wide open.With a gushing wound he keels over...
Panting heavily, the cat-sized Ritti leans down, hands on knobby knees as she watches the hooded man. "I gotta know," she huffs before brushing his hood to the side with her blade.
"Well, gods damn... no wonder you're so hard to pin down. Either way," she says as she straightens up, flourishing her blade in the air before bringing it down in a decisive strike a time or two. "You were one helluvan opponent. You honor whatever gods you serve."
When she's satisfied that the small opponent is actually dead, she takes a look around at the crowd and holds her small blade high in her first victory salute.

GNASHER VS. ELIK
A very strange man walks into the room, almost looking as if he is confused to be there. Old and with most of his teeth missing he yells out in raspy voice Come one! Come all and witness......ummm.....what was my name again?.... he looks at the back of his hand and you see what looks like writing there before he says ...Oh yes! Elik the Magnificent! If there are small children in the audience please...don't ask them to look away for you will be depriving them of my magnificence! He is wearing tattered traveling clothes and is holding a shabby short baton in one hand that he is currently using to gesture to the audience at inappropriate moments during his speech.
The skinny and frail looking little goblin would once more set foot upon the arena floor with a wicked grin upon his face and a vial of some sort in his hand. He seemed to bare no visible weapons of any sort.

Shimmering back into view at , the little goblin would drop an empty vial from one clawed hand, while raising a full one to his lips and downing its contents.

A group of 6 Elik's, now cackling madly and yelling AHA! Have at thee knave!, appear towards your right just as a packed ball of green slime comes hurtling at your face. Afterwards he moves out of sight around the wall.
Move to G18
The acid ball would hit the little goblin squarely in the face and would leave the goblin lying motionless in the dirt.
The six Eliks continue cackling and he begins singing in an awful voice Ding dong the goblins dead! He got hit upside his head!
Moving over he shoots another acidball into you dissolving your body just to make sure you don't jump up and eat him when he's not looking. He knows how tricksy you goblins can be!

Random Bout! NAPJU MMESLI VS SAMOURAI JACK
OOC: GL sir (Do you speak goblin?)
IC:
A large orc pats Napju'Mme on the back with his only arm. Perhaps the other was torn off training angry goblins. He says to Napju'Mme, "Vja avu. Azu de yquid'vi vji piy'quid vifa."
The goblin beats his chest with his bare hands. He is a large goblin, 3 foot 2 inches tall and about 35 pounds. He has a large head with oversized teeth. They appear sharper and longer than a normal goblins. His body is covered by the finest and perhaps smallest Orcish mithral armor ever crafted, a black cloak and armbands, and boots small enough to fit on his miniature body.
He exclaims to his opponent, "Napju Mmesli!" pointing at himself. "Ne ophic'mo uzo!" pointing to his opponent. He begins letting out a long growl similar to that of a small dog. The sound oscillates as he shakes his head side to side. Clearly becoming angered he takes into his tiny hands a large club, the only apparent weapon on his body, almost as tall as he.

Reporting for the Duel
(its my first one so please be patient with me) :)
Description: The dark-haired lithe man enters the arena smoothly and calmly, wearing A full Black lacquered O-yoroi armor. A Red Oni Mask is hiding his face. The light catches small bits of metal shining on the armor. He surveys the crowd briefly with a glance before turning to his opponent and bowing. He holds a parchment in one hand and a Katana & Wakizashi are in their scabbard hanging from his waist. A few spears are slung over one shoulder in a quiver. A banner with Clan colors is attached to the back of the armor
Visible weapons--spears, katana & Wakizashi

Samurai jack patiently wait for his opponent to move first. After all he would give him that honor first his first duel in the pit.
Samurai jack has already send invitation to the Goblin.
Now samurai jack in in a stare down contest awaiting him to move :)
Furiously the goblin wastes no time, running full speed with club in hand towards the lithe, dark-haired man.
Edit I see this isn't possible to take 5foot and full move.. I make a full move action (since I can run(x3) to C11 if that is ok, if not then to E11.
And then the big sturdy samurai Bow to his opponent cast a spell then disappear.
