The unique, teleportive descent of the other entrant to the field caused murmurs, cheers, and feverish adjustments of wagers to spread like ripples through the crowd from whence the first dimensional door appeared.<br/><br/>Garland seemed to sniff and "hmp," from within his helmet, and redoubled his own showy gauntlet-raising and cape-flapping attempts to get a get rise the crowd. The shadowed-faced knight looked up at Sara in tight-gauntleted anticipation after his apparent opponent's query.<br/><br/>The blonde lady smiled and replied musically, "Belike 'twould honor me too..." she spoke over a protesting shout from Garland with a soft, "..and we shall see. Rather soon, perhaps."<br/><br/>She gestured, and the coure who'd drawn Rose's name-token rolled two dice her palm, then dropped them to her feet, and pointed between Rose and a spot. Some of the Tymoran spellcasters about the wide circle of the field gesticulated in concert, and a cylinder of force walls shimmered about the edges of the field, just before the stands on all sides.<br/><br/>Sara orated, words she'd done so several times before, "...When one shall declare surrender or fall unconscious, the game if chance is lost or won and ended. So too, in stalemate, if five minutes elapse, or one minute with no offensives traded 'twixt the two. Thence healer shall assist for any needed expedience, though 'twould be nothing a bit of rest would not mend."<br/><br/>"Thus will be its end. When the arrow lands, it shall begin."<br/><br/>She gestured, and an elven-featured eladrin nearby on the raised stand drew a bow and fired. The arrow arced high, to plunged almost perfectly to strike the very center of the field.<br/><br/><br/>Field is a 100' radius circle<br/>Garland is 50' from the center (i.e. 10 empty 'squares' between him and center, and 9 between him and nearest edge)<br/>Starting place pointed out for Rose is 45' from the center, opposite Garland<br/><br/>Garland initiative roll 17<br/>(so that if you roll, and Rose's is higher, you can also do a round of post-initiative actions in same post if you desire - if not you'd maintain initiative of course, just a matter of posting cycles/breaks)
