As the arena opened up, you see some sort of kitty 115 ft. away.

Roll for initiative! (And perform)

[Katrias Lyseer]

This whole challenge ladder arena was simple. Just like the tournaments, the goal was to knock out the opponents. And once they hit some critical point, the badge that the combatants wore would whisk them away to safety into the hands of the organizer's clerics.

It was simple enough, but as Katrias looked at the cat 115 ft. away, she couldn't help but feel this round was particular cruel.

She shrugged.

There's death everywhere anyways, and it's not like that kitten is actually killed. She had to wonder how many cat the organizers had, or if they simply reused the same one for each fight.

"Well kitty." Katrias said as she pulled out a wand.

"Here's more trauma for you." With that she unleashed its spell, as three whisps of glowing magic shot forth. They aimed unerringly towards the cat.

The spell went off perfectly, and as the cat began attempting to run towards Katrias, it was hit square in the chest. It didn't slow down its movement however, and only continued making its way closer to the caster.

The cat closed the gap well. And it was just about to attack when Katrias stepped back, triggering her wand to fire again.

The blast hit again, and as the bolts of magic connected, a bright flash of light pulled the cat into safety. A moment later it was no where to be found.

An hour later, as the next round was prepared, you see in the distance what looked to be a robed figure, covered from brownish-black clothing. Apart from that, it was still too far to get any more details.

You recognize the creature to be a 'Dark Creeper'. Many of them live underground, beneath the surfaces of the known world. They were reclusive, and you wondered how the organizers got to one in the first place.

The dark creeper began running towards you at full speed, drawing its dagger at the same time. You noticed it created some sort of dark bubble around him, and it began to get difficult to keep your eyes on him.

"I'm starting to think all short people moved this quickly." Katrias stated, she knew some particular short guild members who just seemed to be light on their feet. This particular combatant was no exception to that supposed rule. Like before, she activated her wand once more.

The dark creeper took a beating, but it managed to hold on. The darkness around it did little to help from the magic missiles, so easily were they able to unerringly strike their target. He seemed to shift in the darkness...
