Account of the Duel between Black Bowie Ironsides and Sir Asriel Octavius

As was Black Bowie’s perverted custom, the fair Katrina Dragul was harassed when she arrived on shore. Along with this, he frequently kept up his disdain for Marshal Cenarious Stormrage. Upon calling the General a dolt, many nobles were offended. Of these, Sir Asriel decided to defend the name of Cenarious by challenging the demoniac to a duel to surrender. Happily, the fallen judge accepted. The duel was to occur in the capital city, Port Raviel.

The challenge was issued as such on the 29th day of October.


Letter from Asriel Octavius

Sir Bowie,

I must regretfully warn you that if you do not publicly appologise to our Marshal then I shall be forced to duel you in defence of Cenarious' honour. Whilst I am certain that our Lord Marshal could best you easily, I would not see him sully himself by fighting one such as you.

Asriel Octavius (Knight of Paisly)


The reply was in this manner.


Letter from Bowie Ironsides

Challenge?

Wonderful. I accept.

Let it be known, Sir Asriel, man of Cenarious, will duel Black Bowie to the surrender. The venue for this duel will be the capital city of D'Hara, Port Raviel.

Sir Asriel fights for Cenarious' honour, Bowie for his own amusement. Winner attains glory over the loser. Loser is shamed and mocked endlessly by the victor.

Will anyone take bets?

Asriel, I await you in the capital.

Black Bowie,

Bowie Ironsides (Knight of Port Raviel)


While the noble Asriel travelled by boat to the capital, the two engaged further in verbal jousting. Black Bowie taunting the man, and Asriel trying to incite the shades nobility. Their feud waged publicly as well as privately until the allotted day of rectification.

On the 31st of October, the two dueled to surrender in the capital city, defeat falling to the wicked man Bowie, and victory elevating the righteous noble Asriel.


The duel was determined in this way.


Duel

Asriel Octavius (Noble) meets his challenger Bowie Ironsides (Knight of Port Raviel) for the agreed duel till surrender.

Bowie has decided to use the 'aggressive' strategy while Asriel has choosen the 'defensive' strategy, giving Asriel the advantage.

After a series of blows, Bowie surrenders to his clearly superior enemy.


Though defeated, Black Bowie continues his unhealthy scorn for his peers, and the victorious Sir Asriel continues to uphold his noble duty.
