ooc: I hope they and everyone else is laughing as much as I am, atm. Btw, just to note, because I spotted some language getting vague when it came to distinguishing between the characters and the players: I'm totally cool with Ashen even if Gimble isn't cool with Tirr. I don't view his character actions as reflections of Ashen and I certainly hope he doesn't view Gimble's as reflective of my emotional state. Regardless of what happens, I'll be stoked so long as we get a cool story out of it. ![]() IC: *posted beneath Tirr's challenge* Accepted, though in light of the serious inconveniences you've caused me, as well as the attacks on my guild, the honor of my brother and sister Knights, and the sanctity of the Shattered Knights, I will not settle for anything less than the protocol mortis: 1) Combat will be to the death or dismantlement. 2) An impartial arbiter will be selected (OOC: Packlords, please) to observe and enforce the sanctity of the duel. 3) Magic, weapons, and external interference- including before and after the match- on behalf of either party will be disallowed. Those who violate this stricture will face extreme consequences as enforced by both parties as well as the impartial arbiter. 4) Only those weapons native to the unmodified, unaugmented, or otherwise unaltered moulders will be permitted. No items, potions, poisons, etc. will be permitted. 5) The location will be determined by the arbiter (OOC: again, packlords, help please) and announced formally at such a time as to ensure the good faith of the duel and all parties involved (OOC: after the action phase of turn 7). 6) Seconds may observe but may not be allowed to participate. 7) The duel will be made available to the public and betting encouraged, because if we are to engage in such an obtuse practice, it will be at the very least profitable. Tirr the Tokenless will abide by these terms and strictures or else withdraw his original challenge, pay the original sums owed immediately (as well as fees for time and effort wasted in this farce), and be recognized for the slive he is. ![]() Mutate: to provide a formal IC answer.

A skaven slave enters the pub and makes for the wall yet again. "Dear Moulder Gimble, you have made some grave errors. You have constantly assured me that honour is not an issue in this argument, yet it is now because of honour that you never cared for previously that you are attempting to kill me. We are duelling because of your insult to my honour , not because I have killed a cherished colleague of yourself. You will kill me because you have offended me. Need we ponder the aggressor in this conflict much longer? I now draw your attention to your first word. Accepted. You have accepted my terms. I need not factor your feeble attempt at coercion, blackmail and threat of violence into account. You have accepted the duel on my terms and from that point on you have lost the right to influence the terms of combat. So I suppose I can ignore the incendiary clause placed at the bottom also. For your sake and in good will I will deign to not view this as an attempt to further degrade relations between our guilds, and still allow you your chance at duelling and your money. In short you are still bound by my terms. I look forward to our meeting during the seventh month." OoC: ha! You are dealing with psychologists here, the most malevolent group in the galaxy. Do not think it would be so easy! |

OOC: Ha! clever equivocations and verbal bullshartery. I love it! *mischievous grin* are you sure tirr isn't secretly a Shattie? ![]() IC: It is clear you are not familiar with how duels work. A challenger issues a challenge. If the challenged accepts, they set the stakes and weapons to be used. Having accepted your challenge, you're bound to my terms which were laid out in response to your gross provocation. I will see you on the dueling fields at the appointed time as decreed by the arbiter. Come, coward, unless you wish to break another contract. |

The Slave takes out another price of paper kept in his pocket . " For Use Should Gimble Try Something I would like to inform Gimble that the Challenger in a duel sets the terms, hence it being a challenge. Otherwise how would they not know that the challenged would not just add in terms to suit himself without anything the challenger can do. This would make duelling suicide. The challenger sets the terms and the challenged accepts should he feel confident in the terms. You must have been very confident. Evidently not anymore.Surely I am not the only one to see the hypocrisy in you trying to break your contractual obligation, whereas I have not broken mine no matter What you say. Good day, Tirr the Strange." |

"Gribble..." Gribble declares, deflating somewhat with disappointment. Tekris wheels him over to the bar so Gribble can increase his blood to alcohol levels. |

Another stone tablet, this one smaller, is placed next to the first: "Under the dueling rules of the old empire, which I believe we are using, the challenger (Tirr) sets the stakes (in this case, to first wound/blood) and the challenged sets the weapons and location. External intervention is not allowed under any circumstances. And raising the stakes to a duel to the death shows supreme confidence on behalf of the raiser. But Tirr does have a point about the contract. And to respond to his attack on myself: -Tirr does not understand that I said both first wound and first blood were valid terms, as the first wound will, on any non-metallic being, draw blood, hence making it first blood. -Tirr does not understand how diplomacy works. An extremely large part of diplomacy works by behind the scenes manouverings, -Despite what Tirr has said, he has quoted Gimble or at least quoted a source made to appear to be Gimble, as shown by his comment: "I "am "mongering" -Tirr does not understand, or is willfully ignoring, that there is evidence of a Wyrdtech conspiracy not to pay Gimble, or that an attack on one Shattered Knight is an attack on all. -Tirr does not understand that saying "this is not about money but honour, Gimble will still receive what is owed unless he fails to duel in person" makes it a matter of money rather than honour, as dueling is a reqiurment for being paid, making the duel, on some level, a fight for money. -Tirr does not understand the stakes proposed." |

A rather bedraggled looking slave enters the pub and proceeds to nail more sheets to the wall. "Dear Mystery Second you; -Do not seem to realise the rules discussion is irrelevant, Gimble having accepted my terms. -Do not seem to realise that while diplomacy has private elements, dealings hidden from the other party is subterfuge or conspiracy. -Do not seem to understand that the quotations around the words were to highlight their falsity. -Do not seem to realise Gimble is still getting paid. I, alone am ransoming my debt against my honour, things which have value to both of us. -Do not realise that you have shot yourself in the foot, I invite you to look at Gimble's original statement on first blood. -Do not know what is at stake. It has been a full day, and no signs of information from Gimble. I give him an additional 2 hours to decide his set up for the duel. Good Day, Tirr the Strange" |

The automaton rumbles out of the darkness of the pub and snatches up Tirr's slave in one articulated limb. With the other, it posts a final note over the clutter on the wall. It reads as follows: Tirr, they told me about your plans. I know about the ambush. Your duel proposal is null and void as it was entered into in ill faith. I'm accepting this slave as payment in lieu of the services rendered. It will be returned to you upon payment of the original funds owed. Thank you for your business and for all the info. All attempts at communication other than for payment of the original funds (upon which the slave will be returned to you) will be ignored. Attempts at further antagonizing me or my guildmates will likewise be ignored. Its been a pleasure doing business with you. ---- And with that the automaton, and his new, struggling, and slightly bedraggled slave disappeared into the night and the safety of his halls. |

"Well, that was a let down" muttered Brrx into her drink. "Yes-yes, I thought we were in for a treat of a duel" Tekris replied, passing Gribble another drink. "Oh no, not that. This "Nuvoyan Oil" i'm drinking doesn't even taste of oil..." "Gribble" nodded Gribble sagely. |

Felsqueek looked genuinely surprised and spoke to anyone who wanted to hear him: 'A Shattie declining a challenge? I wonder what Lord Drachau has to say about that... That would have been the perfect opportunity for him to punish us WyrdTechs. I don't think he'll be happy to hear this decline. I'd say the moral victory has been granted to us right now. I would not be surprised to hear Drachau will force Gimble into this anyway.' |

"A duel in ill faith can be declined little rat. We from the shattered knight, rpefferable known as SK instead of shattie, which is an offense name, do fair and in good faith duels. My friend the automatron should not be scared of the drachau sicne you guys made an duel of ill faith." Neesha repleis walking from a dark corner with ehr hood still on. |

Tirr calmly entered the Bar, and made his way to the the wall strewn with paper, nails and surrounded by stone tablets.He glanced at the notice and then made his way to the most central table in the pub, which he then proceeded to stand on. A semblance of silence descended on the floor, expectant faces turned on him. Tirr let his defenses slip. "Ambush was never discussed-squeeked in the halls of WyrdTech! Such lies to be spread-carried to further stain the honour of my guild! It is unacceptable!". Tirr's voice carried through the room, warring emotions of pride in his guild and hate of those who would deny it lending his voice strength."We leave machinations of unimaginable misconduct to the other guilds. This Gimble of the Shattered Knights, who would squeek-frame an innocent ogre-thing moulder, who would deny a skaven simple credit to provoke him, who would spread obvious lies to spite the guild of said skaven,who would discredit said guilds attempts at brokering peace as warmongering and conspiracy to kill, who would pretend HE THE AUTHORITY OF THE LAW BEHIND AT EVERY STEP OF THIS MISADVENTURE, WHO WOULD BE PETTY ENOUGH TO KILL A SKAVEN BECAUSE HE INSULTED IT, WHO WOULD PROCLAIM OTHERS A COWARD FOR STEPS HE HIMSELF WILL NOT TAKE, WHO WOULD UNLAWFULLY STEAL THE PROPERTY OF THOSE HE HAS AGGRIEVED-ATTACKED FOR THE REASON HE HAS BEEN VEXED-DENIED BY THE LEGAL SYSTEM,WHO WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE HIS WRONG DOINGS, WHO WOULD MANIPULATE HIS COMRADES WITH NO RESPECT FOR THEIR SAFETY OR HONOUR OR INDEED PERSONAL PREFERENCE INTO SUPPORTING ALL OF THE ABOVE. AN AUTOMATON WHO WOULD OPENLY ACKNOWLEDGE HE HAS ILLEGAL AGENTS WORKING IN WYRDTECH (DESPITE THEIR BLATANT INEFFICIENCY), WHICH I MIGHT ADD IS CONSIDERED DISHONOURABLE FOR ALL HIS PRETENSIONS TO THE CONTRARY. IS THIS THE KIND OF IGNOBLE HYPOCRISY THAT DRACHAU ALLOWS TO FLOURISH IN THE KNIGHTS?ALLOWING A BARELY MUTAGINED MOULDER TO ATTEMPT TO INSTAGATE A HELLPIT WIDE GUILD CONFLICT BY ATTEMPTING (AND REPEATEDLY FAILING) TO DISCREDIT HIS BETTERS? UNTIL HE TAKES ACTION AGAINST THESE SORTS IN HIS GUILD I WILL ENCOURAGE ALL THOSE PRESENT HERE TO SPREAD THE WORD OF GIMBLE, THE CLINICALLY PSYCHOPATHIC, MANIPULATIVE, BLOODTHIRSTY, DISHONOURABLE THEIF OF GUILD PROPERTY, WHO CAN TURN EVEN THE MOST MILD OF SKAVEN POSITIVELY CHOLERIC! I cordially invite you all to register any complaints you may have about Gimble and his antics to the Inquisition as I am about to do. I thank you for your time and patience with this message. This has been Tirr the Strange, apparently the most chivalrous skaven in HellPit speaking to you all. Good Day." He then made for the door without a word, oblivious to the commotion that erupted around him. |
