Genius plot idea for you.

The lord of a sizeable piece of land has an ulterior motive as he hosts a grand tournament, the prize for the victorious one being a quarter of a million gold, which will allow the winner to live wholesomely till the end of his life. This, of course, attracts incredible numbers of soldiers, martial artists, mages and so on. 

They (the contestants) accumulate in the capital of this land, they sign up for the tournament and wait for the lord to announce what's up. The lord decides to make the tournament a two-parter. The first part will involve a group of mages teleporting the contestants to an area, uninhabited by people, and having them make their way to a coliseum in three days. Thing is, there are no rules concerning the contestants not killing each other while looking for the structure. 

The second phase involves the contestants being lined to fight each other one on one until there is only one left. They can surrender or fight to the death. What the contestants don't know is that the lord is trying to accumulate multiple souls for a ritual that will give him something - power, or infinite riches or whatever it is you want it to be.

How does that sound?

And how would you like to start the combat encounter? or would this be non-conventional? How does the Arena-type RP concept apply?
