Use Bag of Tricks, Frobozz and summoned animals to attack. Hide.
Note that Treetall is trained in Autohypnosis and Tumble, so he can resist fear effects and caltrops and he can use Tumble to avoid attacks of opportunity.
Treetall lived in a small community of fey and druids deep in a forest far to the north. A few months ago, he was expelled by his comrades for reasons he refuses to speak of. Forced to leave with only the clothes on his back and a shabby-looking sack, he and his wolf-friend wandered for many weeks, begging for their bread. Finally his aimless journey culminated at the fabled city of Gladius. With nothing left to lose and little hope for the future, he has resigned himself to life in the gladiatorial ring. Perhaps this will help him forget the past...
Wumpus was the alpha male of a wolf-pack up north, renowned for his ferocity and keen ears. He found a kindred spirit in Treetall and has joined him on his travels.
After that, Wumpus returned to the forest and Treetall befriended an enormous bat named Frobozz. But Frobozz's species must hibernate for a large part of the year, so the gnome reluctantly bid farewell to the bat and recruited a crafty and war-like jungle ape named Lord British to be his shieldbearer.

·Use rope trick or meld into stone to buff in safety. ·If opponent is a melee attacker, buff AC with mage armor, shield of faith, barkskin, alter self (troglodyte), and shield. Gain cover and shoot at them with Rapid Shot until they close, then switch to two-handed blows with longsword. Pull out heavy shield when shield expires. If their speed is 20 or less, use expeditious retreat to keep things at range. ·If opponent is a ranged attacker, do as above, but add entropic shield, and switch to buckler instead of heavy shield. ·If opponent is a primary caster, don't bother buffing AC. Use resistance and resist energy[i] (if appropriate), and ready to shoot on casting. ·If opponent has very high AC (either naturally or through maximizing cover/prone/etc.), use wand of [i]magic missile. ·Use entangle when possible. Use hold person against opponents with low Will saves. If hold person is used, either cast and base in one round, then CdG the following round with bow, or else just minimize to-hit penalties and rapid shot like crazy. ·Use CLW wand to heal when at half HP or less.
Born and raised in the elven village of Talltrees in the High Forest, Kervan had always felt an attraction to the earth. He could never understand those who failed to realize that life itself was a kind of magic, deep and mysterious. When he was old enough, he sought out a druid circle for an apprenticeship. Although they taught him for years, the druids eventually declared Kervan too flighty and opinionated, and told him they could not accept him into the order. Crushed, Kervan traveled deep into the forest to seek out the magic of nature on his own. What he found was a community of treants.
The treants recognized what the druids did not; that Kervan simply had a different, but equally valid, understanding of nature and its magic. They agreed to teach him themselves, and thus Kervan became one of the rare non-treant clerics of Emmantiensien, the Treant King and sage of the Seelie Court. Hearing of the offensive actions against the Yurynwood Forest in Gladius, he has come to help out in any way he can.

A small-time thief from the elven lands within the Aptari Jungle, Ilendil made his living primarily from the shadows of Simarior. His earnings were modest, but the city life was calling him more and more as his aspirations for greater opportunity grew.
Moving into Gladius, Ilendil saw great opportunity at his fingertips and his heart was warmed with all of the luxuries that he might possess.
Ilendil is tall for an elf, and usually wears an assortment of dull-colored, raggedy clothes while working. When out about town on his own, he tends to dress in more flashy accoutrements, preferring reds and blues.
Like most elves, Ilendil is an accomplished swordsman and bowman. His own bow was crafted of his imagination and fingers and bears the symbol of Diana the Hunter on the upper arm.
Buffs and Prefight actions: Set up Swinging Block Trap (if defending); CR1
If Ilendil is defending - resolve trap. If Ilendil is attacking and the opponent has an ally - resolve the assassinate. Also, check for ambush.
Within the arena - Ilendil will set up to snipe at his opponent - preferably for a sneak attack on the initial strike. After the initial strike, he is fine with engaging in melee or continuing to fire at range.
If in melee - use Bluff to feint and sneak attack on the following round.

Only harmed by: incorporeal creatures, magic weapons, spells, spell-like abilities, or supernatural abilities. • 50% chance to ignore any damage from a corporeal source (except for positive energy, negative energy, force effects such as magic missile, or attacks made with ghost touch weapons) • An incorporeal creature cannot pass through a force effect. • An incorporeal creature’s attacks pass through (ignore) natural armor, armor, and shields, unless they have the ghost touch ability. Deflection bonuses and force effects (such as mage armor) work normally against it. • An incorporeal creature has a deflection bonus equal to its Charisma bonus (always at least +1, even if the creature’s Charisma score does not normally provide a bonus). • An incorporeal creature can sense the presence of creatures or objects within a square adjacent to its current location, but enemies have total concealment (50% miss chance) from an incorporeal creature that is inside an object. • Incorporeal creatures hiding inside solid objects get a +2 circumstance bonus on Listen checks, because solid objects carry sound well.

Thus it cannot pass entirely through an object whose space is larger than its own. • An incorporeal creature inside an object has total cover, but when it attacks a creature outside the object it only has cover, so a creature outside with a readied action could strike at it as it attacks. • Incorporeal creatures pass through and operate in water as easily as they do in air. • Incorporeal creatures cannot fall or take falling damage. • Corporeal creatures cannot trip or grapple incorporeal creatures. • Incorporeal creatures cannot take any physical action that would move or manipulate an opponent or its equipment, nor are they subject to such actions. • Incorporeal creatures have no weight and do not set off traps that are triggered by weight.

Equipment(Weight: 0lbs; Value: 88102 gp) Blade of the night (Intelligent item)Show
Description: Steeped in shadow-laden magical energies, this blade has acquired a dark sentience of its own and delights in dispelling and negating magical or psionic effects, absorbing such energy within itself. It has an inherent knowledge of magic and can easily detect and quantify magical auras. In addition it can channel shadow energy to its wielder, providing a renewal of dark energies. Being formed of Shadow magics has affected the dark intelligence such that it is uncomfortable in the grip of any creature that is not in tune with shadow energies itself.

Racial Abilities (Human) • Bonus feat • +1 skill point per level
Template Abilities (Ghost) • Medium Undead (Ethereal,Incorporeal) • Ability adjustments: +4 Cha • Horrific Appearance (Su): Any living creature within 60 feet that views a ghost must succeed on a Fortitude save (10 + 1/2 HD + Cha modifier) or immediately take 1d4 points of Strength damage, 1d4 points of Dexterity damage, and 1d4 points of Constitution damage. A creature that successfully saves against this effect cannot be affected by the same ghost’s horrific appearance for 24 hours. • Manifestation (Su): Every ghost has this ability. A ghost dwells on the Ethereal Plane and, as an ethereal creature, it cannot affect or be affected by anything in the material world. When a ghost manifests, it partly enters the Material Plane and becomes visible but incorporeal on the Material Plane. A manifested ghost can be harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, magic weapons, or spells, with a 50% chance to ignore any damage from a corporeal source. A manifested ghost can pass through solid objects at will, and its own attacks pass through armor. A manifested ghost always moves silently. A manifested ghost can strike with its touch attack or with a ghost touch weapon (see Ghostly Equipment, below). A manifested ghost remains partially on the Ethereal Plane, where is it not incorporeal. A manifested ghost can be attacked by opponents on either the Material Plane or the Ethereal Plane. The ghost’s incorporeality helps protect it from foes on the Material Plane, but not from foes on the Ethereal Plane. When a spellcasting ghost is not manifested and is on the Ethereal Plane, its spells cannot affect targets on the Material Plane, but they work normally against ethereal targets. When a spellcasting ghost manifests, its spells continue to affect ethereal targets and can affect targets on the Material Plane normally unless the spells rely on touch. A manifested ghost’s touch spells don’t work on nonethereal targets. A ghost has two home planes, the Material Plane and the Ethereal Plane. It is not considered extraplanar when on either of these planes. • Rejuvenation (Su): In most cases, it’s difficult to destroy a ghost through simple combat: The “destroyed” spirit will often restore itself in 2d4 days. Even the most powerful spells are usually only temporary solutions. A ghost that would otherwise be destroyed returns to its old haunts with a successful level check (1d20 + ghost’s HD) against DC 16. As a rule, the only way to get rid of a ghost for sure is to determine the reason for its existence and set right whatever prevents it from resting in peace. The exact means varies with each spirit and may require a good deal of research. • Telekinesis (Su): A ghost can use telekinesis as a standard action (caster level 12th or equal to the ghost’s HD, whichever is higher). When a ghost uses this power, it must wait 1d4 rounds before using it again. • Turn resistance (Ex): +4; Hit Dice are considered to be 4 higher vs turning attempts • Skills: +8 racial bonus on Hide, Listen, Search, and Spot
Class Abilities (Wilder) • Weapon proficiency (simple weapons) • Armor proficiency (light armor, shields) • Wild surge +2: A wilder can choose to invoke a wild surge whenever she manifests a power. When she does so, she gains +2 to her manifester level with that manifestation of the power. The manifester level boost gives her the ability to augment her powers to a higher degree than she otherwise could; however, she pays no extra power point for this wild surge. • Psychic enervation: Immediately following each wild surge, a wilder has a (5% per manifester level added) chance of being overcome by the strain of her effort. A wilder who is overcome by psychic enervation is dazed until the end of her next turn and loses a number of power points equal to her wilder level. • Elude Touch (Ex): a wilder’s intuition supersedes her intellect, alerting her to danger from touch attacks (including rays). She gains a bonus to Armor Class against all touch attacks equal to her Charisma bonus; however, her touch AC can never exceed her Armor Class against normal attacks. • Surging euphoria +1: when a wilder uses her wild surge ability, she gains a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws for a number of rounds equal to the intensity of her wild surge.
Class Abilities (Sorcerer) • Weapon proficiency (simple weapons) • Summon familiar: Käsi has chosen not to summon a familiar at this time.

A shadow can be difficult to see in dark or gloomy areas but stands out starkly in brightly illuminated places. A shadow is 5 to 6 feet tall and is weightless. Shadows cannot speak intelligibly.
COMBAT Shadows lurk in dark places, waiting for living prey to happen by. Strength Damage (Su): The touch of a shadow deals 1d6 points of Strength damage to a living foe. A creature reduced to Strength 0 by a shadow dies. This is a negative energy effect. Create Spawn (Su): Any humanoid reduced to Strength 0 by a shadow becomes a shadow under the control of its killer within 1d4 rounds. Skills: Shadows have a +2 racial bonus on Listen and Spot checks and a +4 racial bonus on Search checks. *A shadow gains a +4 racial bonus on Hide checks in areas of shadowy illumination. In brightly lit areas, it takes a –4 penalty on Hide checks.
It was dark. An oppressive darkness, brooding and alive ... yet there was no life in this dank tomb except that of a young woman, her footsteps echoing on the cold stone steps as she descended into the dark. She had a torch with her, but the shadows it cast were more disturbing than the dark. She paused at the bottom of the steps, unsure and uneasy. Then the shadows gathered ... a soft gasp, prelude to a scream that never came ... just one more shadow in the darkness.
---
Why do shadows gather within the walls of Gladius? You'd have to ask the shadows ... and they don't answer. Danger lurks in the shadows.
Cold ... focused ... hard and unforgiving. Resolute ... unbound by law, natural or otherwise.
A shadowy feminine form. Formed of the very shadows, it fades into them with equal ease.
Against a single opponent: Move and attack from within the ground (or from within a solid object). Use flyby attack to always finish a turn within the ground. Use allies to flank. Use cohort to grapple or provide darkness. Attack simulataneously.
Against several opponents: Kill the weak and thus form shadow spawn. Then move in with the spawn to overwhelm whatever is left. Tactics as versus a single opponent.

I'm keeping the name Thay from the Red Wizard thing but I'm changing it from the Forgotten Relms. Here, Thay is a concept more than an empire. It has a native and overlaping astral/ethereal city state which is rather small. They think of it as a homeland, a place of origin. But they also think that any relm a red wizard has control of is also part of Thay. They define control as having a base there, so any red wizard in Gladius could claim as much of Gladius as they want (without mentioning to the city unless they felt like it). So most of the time when they refer to Thay, they mean 'all provinces of all red wizards'.
On the whole, the red wizards are the same bunch of slaving, politicing, imperialist, nationalist, isolationist bastards that they are in Faerun. The red wizards here are more spread out, and tend to take over small domains.
Zodiac is definitely evil. He owns slaves. He's a human supremesist. He wants to use the TAO to his own ends. He's hopefull that he can get a teaching postion so that he can find like minded students and form a 'campus club'. From that pool he will pick the best as his followers once he gets the leadership feat and red wizard circle magic (At ECL 9-10. I put the red wizard info on the sheet; under Misc. info sblock).
Zodiac is kind of like a Malfoy (from harry potter), who never had an arch nemesis, so he never developed a habit of risky ventures. He has been sitting on the family inheritence (that he swindled away from his relatives) for 15 or so years, managing the estate. He is very gifted (save DCs of 18 on his 1st lv spells), but only recently has he decided to persue the dedicated study of magic.
Zodiac will be disappointed to find out an elf is running the TAO. If he ever finds out that Vandalar has a tattoo focus, Zodiac will vow to hunt down the traitor that gave V the tattoo.
Z has come to Gladius on advice from his mentor. They know about the nimbus and use it on occasion for resurections, but they don't want to get drawn into the interplanar war to control the place, so they don't come a'conquering. Z's job is to get his spell levels up and find recruits. When that's done, he will build up a city state of his own.
Z's real weakness is that most of his spells only work on humanoids. Undead, clerics, and paladins are his real nemesis. Outsiders and and elementals can be delt with but it's tough. Z takes a direct approach to things. He can't cast illusions (read: invisibility), and wouldn't bother. He wants to find the threat fast and eleminate it with one blow. Then either CDG or poision to finish them off. He is confused by diplomatic tactics, but will play along with bards and such until he gets annoyed.
With Craft poison-making, you can craft any non-magical poison listed in the DMG, p297. The cost of raw materials is 1/2 of the base price. There is no chance for failure and you complete it much faster. To create a poison, you need to have a Craft Poison-making skill modifier of at least as high as the respective poison's DC. For example, if you want to craft carrion crawler brain juice poison (Dc13), you would have to have a Craft poison-making modifier of +13 or more. You can buy an alchemist's lab (500 gp) which gives you a +2 circumstance bonus on craft poison-making.
As a Free Activity, you can use your Intimidate skill to scare one or more allies of your opponent that have an intelligence of 3 or more. Your Intimidate value must be at least as high as (Ally CR + Ally Wisdom + Resistance to fear) to affect him or her (called Courage Value). There are three different effects depending on your Intimidate value relative to the Courage Value:
Scared: Your intimidate skill is at least equal to the ally's Courage Value. Your opponent's ally is Shaken for the entire combat.
Frightened: Your intimidate value is higher than the Courage Value by 5 or more. Your opponent's ally is Frightened for the first 4 rounds, then is Shaken for the entire combat.
Panicked: Your intimidate value is higher than the Courage Value by 10 or more. Your opponent's ally is Panicked and does not appear to the fight.
Multiple Allies: If the opponent has more than one ally, you can decide which ally you want to intimidate. After having intimidated the first ally, deduct the the Courage Value from your Intimidate Value. If you have points left, you can intimidate another ally (and so on) but your Intimidate value is decreased after each intimidation.
Handle Animal: If you also have a Handle Animal value equal to the CR of an opponent's ally, you may also intimidate animals. If you have a Handle Animal value of CR+5 you can intimidate magical beasts and vermin.
Note: If the ally is immune to fear, he is also not subject to Intimidate. If the master has the Aura of Courage (Paladin 3), the ally gains an additional +4 bonus to resist the level check.

Participation: You must have the tattoo focus feat (see above). One caster with the circle leader class ability stands at the center of the circle of wizards and is called the circle leader. A circle requires at least two wizards in addition to the leader. Up to five wizards (plus the leader) can participate in a standard circle. A great circle can have up to nine participants in addition to the leader. All participants must be within 10 ft. of the leader.
Circle Powers: After one full hour of uninterrupted concentration, the helper wizards cast a spell each. The spells have no effect, and the spell level of all spells cast this way is totaled up and become bonus levels. Each bonus level can be used by the circle leader on the following effects. The circle leader can divide the bonus levels as he sees fit.

People over the age of 50 are most likely to experience exploding head syndrome. Women are at a higher rate of experiencing it than men. It has been reported in people as young as 10 years old. Seriously.
