Demonstration of Prowess

The arena was a large rectangular area with a variety of walls, statues, braziers, and a long, narrow pool of questionable liquid.  A number of these features were timed traps that went off once per round of combat (or in Skyway terms, once every wink of The Cat's Eye), in a four-part repeating sequence.  First, the large braziers flared and burned everything near them.  Next, the two sets of three blue ice statues froze the air around them.  Following that, the two large statues in the NW and SE fired a bolt of lighting across the arena at each other.  Finally, the long pool of questionable liquid revealed itself to be acid and erupted to drench the area nearby.
