  Initiative does not need to be in spoilers, otherwise it'd be hard to figure out who goes first.  Same with initial purchases.  In any case, Ardok rolled a 13, and bought nothing, so Agronak, you're up.

  Climbing the cliff would follow the normal rules for climbing - with a successful climb check, you move 1/4 your speed.  This puts you 5ft up the cliff after your first check.  Your second check:  (1d20+3)[ 17 ]  (check penalty -7, not -5) allows you to move another 5ft.  You are 10ft up the cliff, no LoS.

  Climb check failed, you make no progress.  You also have no LoS.
  
  For future reference, if you wish to spend both move actions climbing, make two checks.  Also, please include your location in your stat block, even if it hasn't changed.  Makes it easier if we don't have to scroll back to find it.

  Does Ardok get a listen check to hear the falling warblade?

   Spoiler 
  Fairly sure you don't have to ready an action to declare your dodge target.  In fact, this being a 1v1, I think it's fair to say you can just mention it once, include it in your stat block or something, and leave it at that.  Unless he can summon creatures or has a combat-ready mount, you'll always use him as your Dodge person, and it doesn't look like either of those apply to Agronak.  You can get high ref verification on this if you want, but I'm a good 95% sure of this one.

  @Sallera, Refs
   
   Spoiler 
   Technically  gladiators are always entitled to listen checks. Practically the refs never bother to calculate the checks and approximate the assorted listen DC modifiers to hear stuff unless:
  
  A)One character requests a listen check
  or
  B)A successful listen check would give critical match-changing information.
  
  In a match of hide -and- seek, invisibility tag, and such listen checks are very important. In this match at this point in time? Not really.
  
  So the guy fell, that's what, a DC 0 to hear and comparable to loud talking? The two are something like 75 ft apart with a mountain of rock and sand between them.
  Thats say, DC 0 +7 distance +10 wall = DC 17 to hear "A thud to the East"?
  
  We could roll that, but I doubt it would effect the match much.
  
  Now if if Ardok had a chance of beating the DC by 10+ for extra info, say... "You hear the thud of a falling body North East on the far said of the hill" then we would want to roll that.
  
  If he had a chance of beating the DC by 20+ for the exact location of his opponent we'd certainly make the roll.
  
  However, with a +3 modifier he won't make a 27 for specific info, much less a 37.
  
  So for a "Thud to the East?" we  could  roll it at the ref's discretion, but unless the match is in category A or B noted above then precedent says the refs aren't required to take that extra effort.
   
  
  Just a friendly ref opinion on another ref's question that doesn't slow the match.
  
  Still waiting on Agronak to act.
