== Synopsis ==
The party rise bright and early make their way to the arena. There, they watch their potential competitors compete in the Monster Mash round of the tournament before their match in the afternoon. Carefully taking notes from the morning matches, the group formulate their plan to complete the challenge ahead of them.
Their ultimate objective is to defeat the monsters in the center of the arena, however they are protected behind a magical ward that only opens when unlocked with three of five keys strategically placed throughout the arena. Once one door is unlocked, all doors open and the ward dissipates. At that point, the combatants aim to fight the monsters while taking as little damage as possible. In addition, teams are scored by how quickly they complete the full objective from when they enter the arena to when the last monster falls.
Standing behind the entrance gate before their arrival is announced, the group apply several pre-encounter buffs. Most notably, [[Ricoril]] applies ''Haste'' to himself and [[Rainbow Dash]], [[Gael]] provides ''Bless'' to the other three members, [[Versa]] enters her ''Bladesong'', and [[Pine]] pumps up the group with inspiration.
The herald announces the group as Friend and Friends, naming each individual member as they signed up. He proclaims that the match begins and the group open with blistering speed. Through a combination of Ricoril's ''Aura of Alacrity'' and ''Haste'', Rainbow Dash is able to attain a movement speed of 120ft. She carries Ricoril to the edge of a pool where one key could be found, Ricoril dives in, swims back up, remounts his camel, and returns to the door - all in one round. To the audience, this spectacle is a blur of color and is immediately recognized as remarkable and worthy of cheering - that is, once they realized what even happened. In the blink of an eye, Rainbow Dash travels a total of 360ft (utilizing her movement, action and hastened action to Dash), and Ricoril dashes and swims underwater for nearly 100ft of movement.
Pine utilizes his flying speed from his Instrument of the Bards's ''Fly'' spell and obtains one key, bringing it back to the door. Gael and Versa head to the far corners to grab keys. At the top of the second round, Ricoril decides to collect a second key himself. Escorted by Rainbow Dash to the edge of a pool, he effortlessly makes a long jump to the center dais, grabs the key, swims back, remounts his camel again, and travels back to the door. In just under 10 seconds, the party obtains the three keys they need.
