  A towering figure in a dark robe enters the room where you have been milling around sizing up the competition. His face is completely obscured by his hood. He raises both hands to get your attention and speaks in a deep voice.
   Thernagale, Moira. You have been chosen to fight. Prepare yourselves!  With that he brings his hands down and the two of you find yourself transported to the  arena 
    OOC:  
  You've got time for one swift action and one standard action before you get transported in case you need to adopt a stance or activate an item.
  
  On the map, green is open terrain, yellow is difficult terrain, red/brown is the cliffs (10ft, Climb DC20, blocks LoS). Arena has a 60 foot ceiling.
  
  Opening post should have an initiative roll, anything you said after he called your name and what, if anything you did with the 'surprise round' before being transported. After that, start fighting in initiative order.
  
  Starting Positions:
  Thernagale starts at AM-13
  Moira starts at U-8

  Without immediately seeing the poor, poor monster, Moira flies straight up, reaching the ceiling. She can see it from there, and moves to its direction, but without descending.

   ROUND 2 
   The heavens have mercy on your soul, poor thing. 
  
  Moira dashes towards the creature and draws her sword but an instance before hitting. An impossibly loud shout comes out of her elegant mouth.

  And by the way, your base Ref save is 5, not 11 (since all your HD and class levels have poor reflex), so you have a +16 there.

  That was actually a Demoralize attempt. Please roll a level check (1d20 + character level + Wisdom bonus [if any] + modifiers on saves against fear)). If it's less than my Intimidate ( (1d20+37)[ 51 ] ), you are  very  demoralized. You suffer a -11 to your attack rolls for the rest of the encounter.
  
  Moira glares at the creature and defiantly sheaths her weapon, as if she doesn't need it any more.
  
  (Sheathing provokes an AoO. Go ahead.)
