As much as I like the idea of managing to get everyone to vote for "go back to week 28 in :20bux: Elodie and then get [a skill] to 100 before [event]", I'd have to explain why I wanted to get [a skill] specifically to 100 before [event], and I don't think MegaZeroX would let me get away with that. :sparkles:

So instead I'm going to be boring and vote Elodie 3.0: :shopkeeper: Kevan for daring to challenge us to a duel.

See below.

(Yes, I know I voted for swords. I did so of my own free will.)

To be fair, I wouldn't have done it if the thread didn't do such a 360 after they got on Zonoheron's :bandwagon:

(i get kind of the impression that death magic will also bone us in some way later on but then, don't attend the tournament :v:)

Well we did fail a check because we were "exhausted from the tournament". I'm still going for frying with magic though.

edit the second, just to cover every possibility:

I vote that we try Birds then swordfight to see if we can avoid triggering that Athletics check. If we die in the same way again, the next Elodie should just nuke him.

Courage, my friends; 'tis not too late to build a better world.
That he should speak against us at all is lèse-majesté. To challenge us to a duel? It is a crime against the state itself.

The only suitable punishment for such a crime? Death.

Strike him down.

In an alternate universe, another Elodie looks upon the armoured Earl of Io, and she is overcome by an inexplicable feeling of vengeance anger. There will be no honour given to this cowardly cur, who dared challenge the crown princess from the safety of steel.

She will bring the fires of Nova upon his head. :flame:
