Hail Sapience,

I would like to bring it to the attention of the world that whatever
respect I had for Kupo has faded to a mere nauseating manifestation. One
would think that a combatant would occasionally accede to the calls of
honor but that seems to be a fading prospect.

I will admit that perhaps I gave Kupo a slight reason from him to
trespass against my person. I felt that his reasoning was a bit
unwarranted given the fact that I had already suffered greatly for the
very action he saw fit to punish me for. After striking me down until he
was 'satisfied' I dismissed the issue offering him the benefit of my
acceptance of his stretched reasoning.

It anguishes me to reveal that months later I was to find Kupo teaming
my son, who tries very to remain honorable and fight alone. This
distressed me, certainly considering that Kupo and his comrade would
clearly sink to the depths of the oceans and ne'er return just from the
weight of their artefacts. In defence of my son we struck Kupo down at
which point I exited the conflict to allow a fair fight between my son
and Kupo's comrade.

Apparently I had done Kupo a great injustice to which he began spouting
threats that he could easily kill me alone. I graced him with a fair
fight and just before the killing blow his comrade came to his aide and
saved him. Moments later, Kupo had returned and was attempting to yet
again strike me down. This time I did strike Kupo down and considered
this conflict settled.

In an attempt to ease the fire that burns within Kupo I engaged him in a
friendly conversation as gentlemen within the confines of Ashtan. I was
mostly defenseless and thought for sure that Kupo would at least argue
his point with flair. Alas, Kupo decided to end the conversation by
forcing me to attack the guards of Ashtan. Failing in this, he was
struck down multiple times within the walls in what seems to be an
downward spiral of unwarranted anger that he alone brought upon himself.

Ever since then Kupo has only engaged me in teams or the brief moments
after I have been slain. I have tried to keep my honor pure, however. I
went to engage Kupo in combat when it was revealed to me that he was in
the middle of a fight with another. I quickly withdrew from the
engagement to allow for an honourable fight but yet again he does not
offer me the same. I must have thought wrong to consider Kupo a man and
will offer little restraint when I face him in coming times.

So, in summary -- I issue a warning to all those of Sapience: Kupo
seemingly has no reservations against fighting without honor. I
encourage all to be careful and not to underestimate the limits Kupo
will go to in effort to satisfy his childish rage.

In service,
Jaizsur Ta'sa
