This thread will be your OOC forum for the competitors of the Cellar Arena to discuss tactics, collaborations, and plots, as well as to ask questions of your fellow combatants and to provide any additional details necessary to clarify your character or your actions. It should also be used for necessary communications with the Director in requesting extensions. As a reminder, you are required to post every 4 days. While I will do my best to provide 24 hour warnings, please do not rely on these. I must be informed in advance if an extension is needed.
Each of the combatants in this arena enter together via the SAME platform, which descended into the center of the arena. All contestants are assumed to enter roughly at the same time, regardless of posting order. No combat is to happen until after the descent and demonstration of the blades have taken place.
Feel free to ask me questions within this thread, via PM, or via the AEF RP Discord Server if you have any details you would like clarified. Our new Discord Server can be found here.
This was the music inspiration for Cellar: Dancing Blades.

In addition, I will be editing in any questions that may be useful for all combatants to read. Beginning with:
What are the dimensions of the arena?
Cellar is unique in that it is one of the few square arenas. Each boundary wall is 100 feet (30.5 meters) long, with the distance from the geometric center to any of the four corners being approximately 70 feet (21.3 meters). Cellar is also unique in that there is a SINGLE entrance - this year in the center of the ceiling. While it will remain open for spectators, competitors cannot exit in this manner. The ceiling is 20 feet overhead (6.1 meters)
Is this no-healing thing for real?
Yep. It's been a constant in Cellar for a while now!
Woah, what’s with the blades? Are you trying to kill us?
Maybe. The red lines in the floor form a perfect square grid (so each “tile” is approximately 33 by 33 feet, or 10 by 10 meters). There are four wall-mounted plates - each 10 feet (3 meters) wide and located in the center of each wall. When any of plates are pressed, the alarm goes off, and about a second later, blades launch from each wall along the grid lines. They cannot be stopped by physical or magical means. The blades always travel from North to South, and from East to West. The blades are rectangular (think horizontal guillotines), and travel across the entire width of the arena in a couple of seconds. They are made of a thin panel of reflective, hardened steel, about 4 feet (1.2 meters) in length. They do pass through each other at the intersections of the grid - BUT all other projectiles would bounce off them how they would normally bounce of a fast moving wall.
Can the crowds be heard in this arena?
They can be dimly heard through the opening in the ceiling - and they themselves are able to see by looking downwards through the ceiling or through the surrounding walls via special enchantments.
