Bested in Single Combat (event)
Our weapons meet in the middle with a mighty clash. I quickly realize that I am dealing with no ordinary duelist. Then, before I can react, it is all over. With great_magi.GetHerHis free hand, great_magi.GetFirstName unleashes a blast of arcane power that hits me like a battering ram, knocking the wind from my lungs and sending me sprawling to the floor. Before I can get back on my feet, I look up to the sight of great_magi.GetFirstName standing over me with great_magi.GetHerHis weapon resting just under my throat. With a wave of great_magi.GetHerHis hand, the scroll floats across the room and lands in great_magi.GetHerHis outstretched palm. Brandishing the scroll over great_magi.GetHerHis head, the Magi says, “You are lucky that I am feeling merciful today. Be thankful that I have chosen to spare you.” Then, before anyone can say a word, great_magi.GetSheHe vanishes.
I have been bested.
