"Alright you two," Bret begins, "since this is the first official fight that I am presiding over I have decided to keep things simple. First off Calathra you will not have you animal companions in here this time. Second, if one or both of you fall unconscious, you will be revived in accordance with the Pit's policy. Other than that I want a good fight." With that said Bret leaves through the gate that Nathaniel came through and heads for his observation box. Once seated Bret raises his hand to begin, and the combatants back up to their starting positions of twenty feet from each gate. Bret drops his hand and the fight is set into motion.

Calathra while studying her opponent starts to casts her mage armor spell. Nathaniel realizing that he is facing a spellcaster charges Calathra, and swings his mace just after she finishes her spell scoring a solid hit to her stomach.

Calathra still reeling from the force of the attack hurriedly casts another shielding spell in the hopes that it will protect her from further harm. Nathaniel hoping to get in another solid blow moves around to Calathra's side and attempt to hit her arm but misses his target by a wide margin. Calathra responds by futilely swinging her club at Nathaniel's knees.

Calathra deciding that her weapon is not her strong suit right now casts ray of frost at Nathaniel catching him with it in the chest. Seemingly unfazed by her spell, Nathaniel responds by casting freezing hands, which hits Calathra hard nearly ending her fight.

Seeing the Nathaniel has not been harmed by her cold spell, Calathra summons a tiny viper to aid her in the fight. Nathaniel seeing the newly summoned snake attacks it with his mace but misses his small target. The viper lunges at Nathaniel while he is off balance and bites him just below the knee, and injects Nathaniel with venom that makes him feel as if he just ran a marathon.

Calathra and Nathaniel trade more failed strikes with each other in vain attempts to wear each other down. The viper in the midst of the melee manages to hit Nathaniel again, before it vanishes, but its venom has no further affect on him.

Calathra retrieves a potion vial from her pack and tries to drink it. Nathaniel assuming that the vial contains a healing liquid swings his mace at her in an attempt to break the vial before Calathra can drink it. Just as Nathaniel's swing misses her by a safe margin, Calathra drinks her potion and feels immediately refreshed in time to dodge another swing by Nathaniel.

Calathra tries to hit Nathaniel in the knees with her club and misses badly, nearly dropping her weapon. Nathaniel swings his mace while Calathra is off balance but the blow is deflected by one of her shielding spells.

Calathra, growing wearing with the fight, attempts to hit Nathaniel with another ray of frost but misses her opponent. Nathaniel, weary from the viper's bite earlier in the match casts his freezing hands spell again hitting Calathra's torso solidly a second time with the cold blast.

Calathra attempts her ray of frost spell again only to miss her opponent widely. Nathaniel uses his last memorization of freezing hands and nearly wins the fight but is stunned that Calathra withstood two attacks from that spell.

Calathra summons a second viper, which she hopes will take Nathaniel down. Nathaniel ignores the viper, feeling that he can win the fight before it kills him, attacks Calathra with his mace and narrowly misses her. The viper attacks Nathaniel's right leg and manages to miss its desired mark leaving him unaffected by its poison.

Calathra, growing increasingly agitated at the length of the fight, swings her club at Nathaniel missing him yet again. Nathaniel takes the opportunity to strike at the viper but misses such a small target for a second time. The viper make its own failed attack on Nathaniel before vanishing from where it came.

Calathra howls in anger leaving her open to another attack from Nathaniel, which barely misses her. Driven by anger, Calathra hits Nathaniel solidly in the ribs and knocks him to the ground, unconscious and breathless. The triumphant halfling screams loudly in victory.

You both will receive full healing from the Pit's resident medical staff.
