Chapter 12 by hambo hambo

Do you let her shoulder that terrible burden?

No!

"Wait!" You cry out as the drow approaches the bag.

She's startled by your command, and quickly turns around.

"I cannot allow you to simply concede without even trying," you say. A look of confusion spreads across her face.

"Where I come from, the contest is the most important aspect of the duel. There is no honor in defeating an opponent who doesn't even put up a fight," you say. "You must compete, conceding is not an option."

The drow is speechless, her mouth slightly agape. "Uh... but... you've already proven you're better! Continuing would just be waste of both our time."

"It matters not," you say, giving her your steeliest of gazes. "If the bards were to ever hear of this, I would be branded a braggart and a bully, someone who picks on the weak. It would be a stain on my otherwise impeccable character."

The drow's cool composure starts to crack, and her speech comes faster and in a slightly higher pitch as her nervousness becomes apparent. "But... what if you just say I did it? Wouldn't that work? I promise I wont tell..." she says as her voice travels off into a whine.

"No," you insist. "Because I would know it was not true, and I simply couldn't live with that kind of dishonor."

The drow looks at you and sighs as she removes her cloak.

What happens next?
