Greetings Panamon,

Well, now that thou hast ruined my nice surprise about how cleave works through olvar, I suppose it will not be quite as effective.

I thought I was being quite generous with 5, and tis certainly not more than that, though it may be soon.

The rest of what thou hast said is true. I won both challenges by the same trick. I would have thought thou wouldst learn after the first one, but that is what makes a good fighter.

Fault me not for using all honourable means at my disposal (namely cleave and olvar) to defeat a fighter who is not only larger, but older and more experienced.

On another note, I question why thou posted that last one. It seemed pointless to me. <shrug> I am not running from thee, so en guarde.
