You drop into a side split in the instant, and experience naught but a few drops on thy hair. The look on Baggage's face is priceless, and the roar of delight from the crowd intoxicating. [+Renown]
You've a fight on your hands, Goodman Baggage, you think, the early success bolstering your confidence. [+Surety]
Onward
Baggage is a well-practiced fool and no mistake. You trade the limelight as the duel progresses, and what you come to observe is that though his quips and tricks cannot rightly be called inspired, his consistency is admirable. He never flubs a moment outright, and for each piece of yours that succeeds he's always hot on its heels with a quick counter, never giving you a chance to feel comfortably ahead.
This is what happens when one duels one's way to the highest court in the region, you suppose. You shudder to think of how many Northern fools the honorable Baggage has left in his wake over time.
