I know this is a bit late, but I've only just finished skimming the previous 50 posts.
Two man rituals in a challenge are obviously wrong. Plamans analogy with poisons and potions is flawed, since these are inanimate objects that can be made or picked days or weeks before any body has any intention of participating in a challenge. A mor
