Having accepted the challenge, James proceeds to explain the next steps. Three challengers will be selected, and you will have the opportunity to choose one of them. As time passes, the guild members mobilize, pushing back tables to unveil a spacious combat ring. The transformation of the space into a large arena adds an air of anticipation and excitement, setting the stage for the forthcoming sparring match.
Three challengers confidently step forward into the spotlight. The first is the young woman who was previously serving Mom's table. She stands without any visible armor and doesn't seem to be carrying a sword, giving an air of mystery to her potential skills. The second challenger is an elderly woman clad in sleek black leather armor, wielding two long swords with a seasoned grace. The third contender is a formidable figure—a massive man donned in sturdy steel armor, adorned with long gray hair and a beard, complete with an eye patch and a wooden leg. In his hands, he brandishes a substantial axe and an even larger hammer.
As the contenders make their presence known, James turns to you, inquiring, "Who do you pick?" The array of choices spans a spectrum of skills and styles, each presenting its own unique challenges.
