The Gladiator

"I accept your challenge, Velkadin." you reply after a moment. "I'm no coward."
Velkadin smiles in triumph.He brandishes his sword expertly, blood pooling down his face from where you cut him. You wonder fleetingly if this had been a good idea.
"Look sharp, Dengian." Velkadin hissed as he sprang at you faster than you believed possible.
Your weapons clash again and again - the battle seems to draw on forever. Finally, Velkadin twirls about and slashes you in the jaw - at the exact place where you had cut him. You stumble back, bleeding from your jaw, feeling an odd sense of deja vu. Velkadin is slowly walking towards you. Now is your chance to either attack or surrender while you're still alive.
