In a stone and steel walled off corner of the arena, eight men faces off.
Damek, Olo, Palasis and Klee stood at one end.
Apoyo, Tejon, Raposa, and Aguijon stood at the other.
A gong echoes throughout the coliseum.
Apoyo stared forward nonchalantly, truncheon hanging slack from his right hand.
Tejon spun his zhau in hand and jammed the butt end of it into his stub, the weapon transforming into a skeletal arm and clawed hand of leather and iron.
Aguijon charged, whipping his lask from side to side before him and screaming.
Raposa stamped his staff into the ground, vanishing.**

Olo first cast daze on Aguijonand as he threw his boomerang in a wide arc using homing to bring it back around at Aguijon's weapon wielding hand. As the boomerang got close he cast a second daze. He also took a defensive stance with his dagger as he waited for the boomerang to return.
Damek quickly sniffs for the scent of the invisible man; using that coupled with his monolith abilities he quickly fires off two stone shots at the man and waited to see the reaction.
**Aguijon's whip hand got smashed by the boomerang, causing him to drop stop his advance and drop the weapon from a combination of shock and disorientation.
Raposa reappeared, staff held defensive before him and deflecting the stoneshots. He stared at the wolf, head tilted like a curious hound, then smiled. He slammed his staff down ahead, this time a beam of burning light flying from its head at Damek.
Klee moved on Tejon, circling him cautiously. The one armed man crouched, then leaped incredibly high into the arm and flew down at Klee, clawed metal hand extended.
Palasis stood several paces from Apoyo, facing off.**
Palasis - You seem very confident.
Apoyo - This is my fifth trial, I do not lose.
Palasis - Nor do you learn apparently, to keep being sent back here.

Damek makes a quick leap to the side. While in the air he keeps track of the man with scent. He then combos a Dirty Trick and Stoneshot at the man. As he lands he sprints at the man to bite him anywhere exposed.
**Aguijon backrolled away from Olo and the boomerangs, pulling his hand from a small bag at his waist and hurling a cloud of dust at Olo as he came to his feet.
The Dirty Trick seems to do little to inhibit Raposa's ability to see Damek coming, he batted aside another stoneshot and raised his hand, causing a blinding flash of light to go off in Damek's eyes as she pounced allowing him to dodge her pounce despite the daze.
Klee raised his arms defensively, ice armor forming over his head and hands as he did so. Tejon's claw deflected from the armor as he was dazed, giving Klee a chance to headbutt him.
Palasis raised his hands, causing dozens of stones around the arena to rise up and all fly at Apoyo from every direction at once.**

Staying on the ground this time to keep track of him with monolith, Damek fired a stoneshot and feinted running at the guy, then he quickly jumped to the side and fired a second stoneshot while he charged at the guy going for a bite on the guy's staff looking to pull it away with his very strong strength.
**Olo was not able to entirely dodge the whole dust cloud, and suddenly felt quite ill. The daze didn't keep Augiujon from blocking, just kept him from effectively following up. The blocked boomerang clattered to the ground behind him.
Raposa battered the first stone shot and went for another light beam in response to the feint, it missed and the second stone shot glanced off he oscaran's cheek, drawing blood. Damek got a hold of the staff thanks to the dazing effects of the hit and Olo, and Raposa responded by grabbing at Damek with a hand encased in burning light.
Tejon staggered away, dazed by Klee's blow. The kindir followed up quickly, tackling the oscaran to the ground.
Palasis's stone hammered Apoyo....to absolutely no effect, they bounced off the rotund, scarred oscaran harmlessly. He grinned, then charged Palasis in an unbelievably fast blur.**

Since most of a wolf's strength is in it's bite unlike the spilt across a person's arms, Damek bit down as hard as he could on the staff and jumped back and to the side (away from the burning light) while casting two stone shots at the man. One at the hand with the glow and the other at his midsection. He hoped that by doing this the Oscaran would be pulled face first into ground or let go of his staff. Damek was prepared to not let his grip go if that hand touched him though.
**Nothing happened with the stoneshots as there is no way Damek could have performed the neccessary physical movements while to do them while doing all that other stuff (especially as a wolf, hell technically you shouldn't be able to do it all, but I got tired of fighting about it so **** it.). Damek's bite and yank managed to pull Raposa off balance and he missed his grab. He released the staff and went after Damek bare handed.
Aguijon, stopped on the boomerang as the creepers went after them, and hurled a few darts at Olo.
Klee was atop of Tejon, pounding him, but the oscaran got his metal arm up, on Klee's chest, and managed to hurl the kindir off him and through the air, with a single shove.
Palasis and Apoyo collided and the mage went flying backwards like a rocket. Through his hands out, Palasis managed to telekinetically halt this flight and hover in the air. Brow forrowed, his went from vertical to horizontal and flew at Apoyo fists first.**
Bane's Reading Suggestions David Eddings: The Belgariad, Mallorean, Elenium and Tamuli Series. The Redemption of Althalus Jim Butcher: The Codex Alera Series
Damek kept hold of the staff and started to run towards Olo to give him the staff. Using monlith, he ran in a random zig zag pattern from Raposa to make getting shot harder.
Olo dropped to the ground and rolled sideways to dodge the darts when he saw Aguijon throw them. When he stood back up he readied his dagger. He had one of the keepers grab onto Aguijon's ponytail and start yanking on it. The other one scurried behind him waiting for an opportunity to grab the boomerang, but if his whip was still on the ground it grabs that instead. (Just not sure, wasn't mentioned so thought I might as well try )
**Klee landed hard on his back as Tejon kicked up to his feet and charged after him. Klee hissed and stamped his heel into the ground, sending a patch of ice over the ground directly before him. Tejon went skidding, allowing Klee to catch him in the midsection with his feet and then use the momentum to kick launch the oscaran clear over him.
Palasis bounced off Apoyo, the force of his blow absorbed by the oscaran whose hands lashed out with unseeable quickness, grabbed Palasis by the wrists and spun like a top, sending the mage flying straight into a wall.
Aguijon was reaching for his whip when the first crawling glove yanked at his hair, distracting him quick enough for the other to snatch it up. He remained stepping on the boomerang and expertky jerked his head, whipping his tail out before him like a lash and trying to dislodge the crawler.
Raposa gave chase, and it was a close thing, the heft of the staff evening the scale that would have been tilted by Damek's form and Olo's spells. Damek reached Olo with Raposa right behind him.**
Bane's Reading Suggestions David Eddings: The Belgariad, Mallorean, Elenium and Tamuli Series. The Redemption of Althalus Jim Butcher: The Codex Alera Series
Olo grabs the staff and swings at Raposa with it while double casting daze. Hoping it was some kind of magic, he hoped something would happen when he swung and wanted something magical to happen.
The Keeper on the hair tried to hang on, it failed spectacularly. It flew through the air back towards Olo. If they have webbing it tries to spin a thread onto Raposa and then start harassing him. If not it tries to climb up the man's pant leg.
The other one scurries away with the guys whip in the direction away from Olo and other combatants.
Once Damek hands off the staff he keeps running to circle Olo and come back around to bite at Raposa's leg. He cast rooted stance and tried to crush it if he got a hold of the leg.
**Raposo was stricken in the chest as a now unencumbered Damek escaped his grasp with a burst of speed. Whatever magics it had were not of any use to Olo it appeared as it had no magical effect, simply sent Raposo staggering back where Damek took his legs out from under him and brought him to the ground.
The flung crawler had no webbing and flew wide of Raposo as Agiujon briefly debated giving chase after him whip. He decided against it and instead hurled a vial at Damek as he tore into Raposo's leg.
Klee rolled on his hands and knees and scurried after Tejon like that as the oscaran landed hard. He clamped onto Tejon's leg, flipped him over as he laid there stunned, and put him into an ankle lock, knee pressing into the back of Tejon's own.
Palasis slammed into a wall and rebounded to the ground, dazed. Realizing his TK tricks weren't going to work he, he focused on his less well developed mental attacks, trying to confuse him and throw him off with illusions**
Bane's Reading Suggestions David Eddings: The Belgariad, Mallorean, Elenium and Tamuli Series. The Redemption of Althalus Jim Butcher: The Codex Alera Series
Olo Dazes Raposa and Aguijon. He also moved to smash Raposa's head with the staff (assuming this won't put him in the path of the vial) and calls out to Damek, "LEFT!"
The keeper with the whip makes a wide circuit around the arena to try and bring the whip to Olo.
The other one stumbles for a moment after having been briefly able to fly. It then turns towards Palasis' enemy to go harass him.
Having been fighting alongside Olo for long enough to know what that meant, Damek dropped the leg and jumped left immediately. When he landed, he looked back at the spot he was in. He cast a stoneshot at Aguijon, and one at Raposa to make sure he died.
**Raposo had brought his hands up defensively over and pulled his legs in as he went down, trying to curl into a ball to protect himself. The staff battered and broke one of his arms, the stoneshot strikes the crown of his head, stunning him and drawing a bloody gash.
The vial exploded into a green cloud of gas. It was beginning to spread from the point of impact, moving towards both Olo and Damek and obscuring Aguijon.
Klee snapped Tejon's ankle with a savage jerk, but was second latter send rolling off him by a bloody slash from the oscaran's false arm, which had reached back in a fashion impossible for a real appendage.
Palasis's mental assaulted seemed to have stimied Apoyo for the moment, but but were growing less effective by the moment. The creeper reached Apoyo unimpeded.**
Bane's Reading Suggestions David Eddings: The Belgariad, Mallorean, Elenium and Tamuli Series. The Redemption of Althalus Jim Butcher: The Codex Alera Series
Olo took a big breath and held it. He proceeded to hit Raposa in the head while he was stunned from the stone. He hit him again to be sure. He gestured to Damek stomping on the ground in the direction that Aguijon last was. He then tried to drag Raposa away from the gas to continue beating on him if possible. Once clear of the gas he started breathing again.
The keeper with the whip kept going to the area where the ladder that leads in would be. The other grabbed onto Apoyo's hair and yanked.
OtN- Hey brother, got a whip for you when you get here. Heard you were looking for a weapon.
Guessing that Olo meant shoot at Aguijon, Damek used his monolith to figure out where he was. If he was moving, Damek tried to fire the two stoneshots where he would probably be. If he was still he fired at the guy hoping the gas cloud would provide cover. He also moved back away from the gas cloud and kept his senses looking for anyone trying to sneak up on him.
**Raposo was down and out, but holding his breath, while helpful, did not protect Olo fully from the encroaching cloud, which burning his skin and eyes before he finished and pulled Raposo away.
Damek sensed Aguijon in the center of of the cloud, apparently immune. He staggered a bit when the stoneshots vanished into the cloud.
Klee lay bleeding badly from his face as Tejon scurried along that ground at him, dragging his injured leg. The metal hand clamped around his ankle and squeezed with incredible strength.
Apoyo kept advancing on Palasis, adjusting his mind to the attacks. Palasis floated back, trying to figure out another avenue of attack.**
