Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Lost a post. Short version reposted.
Bosk, killing is discouraged but it happens. Unconscious pretty much means done unless they have a way of healing themselves. Tied up and unable to escape, means done. Give up, done.
Fenton, yes go ahead and post.

Recap for the benefit of the DM and myself. Mostly myself. DM Only Please Highlight to display spoiler: {(0) Three Buff Rounds: Read scroll of Eagle's Splendor, Fail to read Heroism scroll, and Drink Fly potion. (1) Round 1: Read Heroism scroll.

That brings me to the end of round 3, so I am all caught up.
Bosk of the Fist and Iron Adventurers. d20+10=21 ; 2d6+7=17 ; Monday March 7th, 2011 7:11:20 PM
Bosk looks at his opponent. If he appears alive and conscious (or is standing), he will attack him. If he appears unconscious he and is lying prone he will use non-lethal damage. (The -4 penalty for for nonlethal damage should cancel the bonus / penalty to AC for Sindin being prone.
Actions: Hit AC 21 for 17 dmg. Move full speed towards Salazar
ooc: I am confused as to what Sindin's status is.
Salazar, round 3 Monday March 7th, 2011 7:35:41 PM
recapping my round 3 actions as well
Not believing his luck to have followed up in the right direction when he couldn't see a thing, Salazar presses on. ( I got no map, so no idea where my target is so I'll put it this way) He closes until he can get a clean shot and fires off a ray of frost at Fenton. Hit touch AC 26 for 2 damage.

I am hiding, so moving toward me might be hard without perception checks. You might have posted them in spoiler so I wouldn't know if you beat my hide. Just an FYI.

I rolled perception checks, if needed, to tell if sindin is knocked out and to find salazar. Both rolls were 0. However I don't know how well a hide check works if you are moving and casting spells in a loud voice.

The crowd goes wild as the first combatant falls. Cheers erupt from the people who obviously had large sums of money on the large, well armed, well armored minotaur. They cheer even more when said large minotaur strikes the downed half-elf again. Apparently they were felt the half-elf had no chance against such a foe. Bosk is certainly the early favorite, but will he have the staying power.
Laughs are coming from the other side of the arena as the tiny halfling is lighting up his opponent, who is running around like a chicken with his head cut off.
Many eye the Lion curiously as he slinks around the arena drawing no attention from the other combatants. Rather effective method so far.
Salazar hits Fenton with a spell Perception DC 16 and Spellcraft 17 Highlight to display spoiler: {Ray of Frost for 2 damage} before slinking into the shadows. Sindin Only Highlight to display spoiler: {You made it to J,1 slinking into the shadows before you hear Bosk roughly South West of you. You can't see him yet.}
Sindin is laying on the ground cut, bruised, unconscious after taking a vicious blow from Bosk who deals 17 points of non-lethal damage and, unless something happens to change his status... out of the fight. (Good effort!!! But the rolls just didn't go your way.)
Bosk sees Sindin bleeding and unconscious on the ground but decides he is still possibly a threat. Bosk decides hit Sindin one more time just to be certain, he is out cold, dealing 17 points of non lethal damage. to make haste towards the caster he last heard at Bosk Only Highlight to display spoiler: {roughly M,N,4,5 but he could have moved by now. You do not see or here him at the moment You make it to E,F,8,9.}
Fenton gets hit bay a cold ray (taking 2 points of damage) as he makes it out of sight (and range) of the troublesome tiny halfling. You no longer see, nor hear anyone, but you think they can no longer see nor hear you. Fenton OnlyHighlight to display spoiler: {You make it to R,1 and climb the wall with only a little difficulty.}
Zeoll continues to remain out of sight and hearing of everyone... well almost everyone. Highlight to display spoiler: {You know where you are and what you are doing. As well as what you hear from Bosk's post. You see Bosk move forward to E,F,8,9 and he appears to be going after the halfling caster Salazaar. You see Sindin fall as well.}
OOC: Alright, my internets are back and I can get back to consistent posting. If I miss anything now, its my fault and not my phones lol. If I missed something or you aren't happy with a result, let me know and I'll explain myself or resolve it. You guys rock!!!

Fluff / filler: As Bosk watches Salazar fall off the wall, he feels a little sad. He had hoped for an honest hand to hand fight, and all this sneaking around seems dishonorable. Under normal circumstances, he would never throw an opponent out of the ring, but an honorable opponent wouldn't hide on a wall, out of the reach of most, and attack from a distance. Oh well, two down and two to go.

For his standard action, he readied the use of his shield for total cover if he is attacked, putting the shield between himself and the attacker -- most likely also between himself and the ground. His altitude is 40 ft at the end of his move.}

DM Post: Round 9 Thursday March 24th, 2011 9:00:14 PM
Greetings all... it appears I made a bad call earlier in the match. The spell that was cast at Bosk that he failed the same on should have made him perceive Salazar as an ally but not understand the command he was given. That being said, apparently Bosk has no reason to attack Salazar, unless he is/has been provoked.
It's obvious I have made some mistakes here. Consider them growing pains. Also, consider when I have DM'ed before and an issue comes up, I can sit at the table, talk ask questions, and get a consensus. I haven't been able to do that here. Again, please bear with me, and if you have a question, or concern, voice it ASAP.
Feel free to adjust Round 10 posts to account for this adjustment. Sigh. Sorry again.

DM Post: Round 9 Monday March 28th, 2011 3:58:04 PM
Ok, very rough weekend but things are back to normal. So, this is what happened. I made a mistake, then corrected it, but for the wrong reasons, then change back to the wrong answer, for the wrong reason, now I am certain after breaking down every little nuance of the spell, I have this right. So, I'll explain what happened. Why it happened, etc.
Casting Time 1 standard action Components V, S EFFECT
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target one humanoid creature Duration 1 hour/level Saving Throw Will negates; Spell Resistance yes
This charm makes a humanoid creature regard you as its trusted friend and ally (treat the target's attitude as friendly). If the creature is currently being threatened or attacked by you or your allies, however, it receives a +5 bonus on its saving throw.
The spell does not enable you to control the charmed person as if it were an automaton, but it perceives your words and actions in the most favorable way. You can try to give the subject orders, but you must win an opposed Charisma check to convince it to do anything it wouldn't ordinarily do. (Retries are not allowed.) An affected creature never obeys suicidal or obviously harmful orders, but it might be convinced that something very dangerous is worth doing. Any act by you or your apparent allies that threatens the charmed person breaks the spell. You must speak the person's language to communicate your commands, or else be good at pantomiming.
So here is what we are dealing with....
One person casts a spell in common, the other only speaks Taur. The spell can still effect the other person. Now, he can not understand the commands issued, but he can be affected by the spell to consider the caster an ally.
The target of spell initially fails his save, however, what was not considered, was the fact that per the spell description, since the target and the caster were hostile, the target receives a +5 bonus to his save. Which is enough to pass his save. Therefore, The spell that was cast has no effect. Now, starting over at round 10.
Any questions, comments, or concerns let me know.
Salazar, round 9 Monday March 28th, 2011 6:47:32 PM
As I had not attacked Bosk or even been visible to him I am considered hostile just because we are in an arena? Ok, but that's not how I would see it. This fight will have to end eventually and I am now faced with 2 opponents constantly in LOS of each other and ignoring each other to find me so what the heck, I leave my post as is, lets finish it. I'll need to rely on my AC to win.
DM Post: Round 9 Tuesday March 29th, 2011 7:31:55 AM
Honestly, if I were in an arena against for other opponents, I would be hostile against them and consider them a foe, even if I had not see them.

Zeoll's will save is +3 bard, +1 wisdom, +1 from his cloak, and +2 from his heroism spell, That's a total +7. I wish I knew the save DC. Anyway, rolling that save gives a 9 -- that is surely a failure. Zeoll will use his hero point for a reroll. a 15 ... better, but is it good enough? We'll see.

After Salazar casts his spell on Zeoll, which seems to have no effect, Salazar realizes he is visible to the other two as Bosk charges in, catching the smaller halfling in his large hands. (CMB 30 Beats Salazar's CMD).
As the two are locked together, Zeoll casts a spell on both Bosk and Salazar. Bosk is unable to tell what spell is cast.
Salazar is now under the following effects. Highlight to display spoiler: {becomes drowsy and inattentive, taking a -5 penalty on Perception checks and a -2 penalty on Will saves against sleep effects}

DM Post: Round 9 Tuesday April 5th, 2011 7:34:08 PM
That is correct.
Inititiative is:
Salazar,
Bosk,
Zeoll.
Don't worry, even if posted out of order, I will still resolve by the order of initiative.
Salazar, round 10 Tuesday April 5th, 2011 7:34:32 PM
yup, for what its worth. So, special attacks like that ignore AC entirely eh? I looked them up and it certainly seems that way.
IC Salazar waits limply in Bosk's hands. It is clear the tiny halfling can do nothing against the minotaur, now that the Taur has a grip on him. He waits to see how the 'alliance' between the 2 taurs goes, since Bosk has a still dangerous if released foe in his hands and the Liontaur has already cast the spell that will prep both of them for slumber. He doesn't concede. Not yet. The Liontaur may still take out his ally first instead of finishing Salazar.
OOC Salazar is screwed. even if I roll 2 20's and add them together I can't escape or cast a spell . I am flabbergasted that the special attacks do not require an attack roll vs AC to initiate like they did in 3.5 . For all of the AC I got from being small and fast I am no match CMD wise for someone who is large and strong, other than the idea that they couldn't hit my AC in the first place to start the attack. Rereading the rules to calculate CMB and CMD mine was a little off but I don't think it was enough to matter. Congratulations on finding a really good way around the common Attack vs AC rule. You did the work for it . Good Luck vs Cayzle 8).
Zeoll Tuesday April 5th, 2011 8:52:45 PM
OOC: I cast a spell on Salazar? What happened with that?
By the way, did Bosk save vs the Lullaby? Moot of course since the duration is Concentration, and Concentration ends when Zeoll casts the spell on Salazar. See, I told you it was harmless to the minotaur.
What are the coordinates of this grapple?
Zeoll is like, what, 70 ft up in the air at this point, I think? Everyone knows now that he is flying, right? Good old Fly potion.
Bosk of the Fist and Iron Adventurers. Tuesday April 5th, 2011 11:41:40 PM
ooc: My save was 13. I don't know what the save DC was. I know you can use this info against me...oh well.
Salazar Just an FYI. It is moot now, but Bosk didn't fully trust Zeoll. For a while Zeoll wasn't doing much to help. He wasn't providing backup, spells, or locations (and I don't read other's spoilers). He was protecting himself a lot of the time. The spell he cast wasn't helping Bosk's confidence either. Had your sleep spell worked, and Zeoll not been able to relay your location, things may have gone differently. Bosk is proud and full of honor and normally wouldn't break an agreement, but being used in a one sided "alliance" doesn't sit well with a proud character.
Move will come in a bit. I am out of town and having issues opening my C.S.
Bosk of the Fist and Iron Adventurers. d20+16=31 ; d8+7=13 ; Wednesday April 6th, 2011 12:15:11 AM
Bosk continues to maintain his grapple. As Salazar goes limp Bosk drives his horn deep into the tiny man's chest. He feels bad that the man seems to have given up, but also doesn't trust the tiny guy not to be trying to lure him into a trap. If he withdraws the minotaur will let him leave. If not...
Salazar, round 10 Wednesday April 6th, 2011 4:35:39 AM
Clearly he didn't trust him since we were all 'hostile' per my casting of charm. Had my sleep spell worked he would have fallen 50+ feet and would be easy pickin's for either of us. Sadly I didn't think to raise my casting stats with potions so my spell saves were low. Live and learn. Also giving up is all I have since I can't break the grapple, escape artist out of it or make the concentration check to cast, so I am pretty much done. My only hope is Cayzle does you in before you do me 8). BTW Cayzle, 2 actions in a row won't work. Sure you have held most of your actions all through the fight, but you don't get 2 spells at a time for it. Your spell would resolve after I choose to do nothing this round so just wait for it.
Zeoll Wednesday April 6th, 2011 6:02:45 AM
Sorry, I kind of have lost track of what round it is. Did not mean to jump the gun. The lullaby goes off during the round that Bosk first grapples Salazar. I guess I have not cast my Sleep yet. My apologies.
So did Bosk save vs Lullaby? ;-)
Yeah, I pumped up my Chr, added lesser and greater spell focus as feats, and drank a potion of eagle's splen to really get those save DCs through the roof. Since everybody has a hero point, I figured that was necessary.
If I had slept, not sure I would have fallen rather than floated. Though that would have woken me up, I suppose! :-)

Bosk is able to maintain his grip on the halfling and inflict damage. Highlight to display spoiler: { You are effected by the lullaby spell but only if you are hit with the sleep spell in this coming round.}
Zeoll sees Bosk at H,I,14,15 and in his grip is Salazar at I,15. I am going to assume you cast sleep? If so, spoiler me the DC.
Bosk, Salazar go ahead and make a Will Save.

I thought the spell was only on Salazar.
Zeoll Wednesday April 6th, 2011 8:25:49 PM
I'm so confused! The round that Bosk and Salazar FIRST grapple is the round Zeoll casts Lullaby. Because Zeoll has the last init, be casts after Bosk and Salazar act. I know Salazar failed vs the Lullaby. I'd like to know if Bosk did. The will save DC for the Lullaby is 19.
The NEXT round, after another round of grappling and actions from both Bosk and Salazar, Zeoll will cast Sleep on Salazar unless he is out of the competition. If he is out, Zeoll will cast it on Bosk. The Will save DC is 20, and there is a -2 penalty if you were affected by the Lullaby the round before.
Hope that helps make all clear.

Waiting on Salazar for my move:
Zeoll only Highlight to display spoiler: {So what is the plan after I finish Salazar? Are we going right into combat, or since I did all the dirty work will you give me a minute to heal and to ensure Salazar is actually out and not just faking? My preference is a truce until we get to the center of the arena, and that we give these folks a fight to remember. Since you are hiding up there, out of reach, I don't think that is asking too much. Also, if you could make it interesting and honorable. If you are going to hide and cast spells, at least let me exit with a few scars.}
I'll wait to post for Round 10 until I see what my foemen do.
Salazar, round 11 Thursday April 7th, 2011 8:40:12 PM
Last round was round 10. I posted my actions for it, so did Bosk. The DM labeled it as the second round 9.
Salazar looks at the massive minotaur, crushing and goring the life from him. It doesn't look like the brute is going to stop so Salazar holds up his hands and shouts" I surrender!!". Salazar hopes to live even if he can't win.
Bosk of the Fist and Iron Adventurers. Thursday April 7th, 2011 10:04:41 PM And then there were two, the Iron Adventurer's of Hook City. Bosk the fierce and Zeoll the stealthy.
Meh, why draw it out? Salazar has bowed out. Bosk may or may not be sleepy feeling. "It is for this that I planned," says Zeoll. The liontaur directs his Sleep spell at the Minotaur. DC20 will save, at -2 if the Lullaby is in effect.
Bosk of the Fist and Iron Adventurers. d20=12 ; Friday April 8th, 2011 1:19:41 AM
Bosk drinks his potion of enlarge person and moves 20 feet away from Zeoll. (I was hoping you would target my space and not me).
I failed me will save against sleep (and lulby also, I believe)

Bosk's Herald calls out to the audiance, "The cat can put people to sleep, but does he have courage enough to face even a sleeping minotaur? My master said he will fight to the death, and the way I see it, a warrior would have trouble getting to my master, let alone kill him in under 2 rounds, and I doubt this cat could get through his armor before Bosk awakes. My master does not withdraw. He FIGHTS!"
(I want to see this to the end. It is not in Bosk's nature to withdraw, and a minotaur doesn't, can't, and won't concede to a liontaur.)
Zeoll d20+11=17 ; d20+3=5 ; d20+11=26 ; d20+3=6 ; Friday April 8th, 2011 9:56:47 AM
[OOC: Don't understand the reference to "2 rounds" -- I got two minutes duration, not two rounds.]
Round 11: Zeoll spends one round flying down next to Bosk. As he approaches, he watches for any sign that Bosk is not asleep, He also watches to make sure that Salazar is leaving the contest. Perception 17, Untrained Sense Motive 5.
Round 12: Hovering 15 feet up, Zeoll gets out a rope. He takes the rest of the round to observe. Perception 26, Untrained Sense Motive 6.
Round 13: If Bosk is sleeping, he is helpless, and if he is helpless, I'm pretty sure Zeoll can use the Tie Up action:
Tie Up: If you have your target pinned, otherwise restrained, or unconscious, you can use rope to tie him up. This works like a pin effect, but the DC to escape the bonds is equal to 20 + your Combat Maneuver Bonus (instead of your CMD). The ropes do not need to make a check every round to maintain the pin. If you are grappling the target, you can attempt to tie him up in ropes, but doing so requires a combat maneuver check at a --10 penalty. If the DC to escape from these bindings is higher than 20 + the target's CMB, the target cannot escape from the bonds, even with a natural 20 on the check.
Let's see what our kindly DM says.
DM Sanity Info:
Zeoll has 27 hp and is unwounded. He has a potion of Fly, a potion of Eagle's Splendor, a scroll of Elf Vision, and a scroll of Heroism active. He has also cast a message cantrip and a sleep spell of course.

I thought sleep had a shorter duration or multiple saves. I was going to hope you failed a coup de grace, and I have a +9 strength modifier and high cmb. That said, I won't drag this out forever. If Zeoll didn't somehow wake Bosk up, I'll be happy with beating 3 of the 4 opponents.
P.S. Bosk had a 100 foot rope (when enlarged) tied into a lasso...had I stayed awake, it could have been useful.
