Once a challenge as been successfully executed, both combatants are free

to do whatever they choose, be it to continue the attack, or to mercifully

allow the retreat of the other combatant.

Since you were not offered a 'first ghost' challenge which I generally

offer my foes, I am well within my rights, and within the spirit of the challenge

to continue to kill you after it is over.

Written by my hand on the 12th of Agamnion, in the year 1160.
