Gentle Achaeans,
Despite Damascas' repeated claims of Kharon superiority, I believe that
he has just seen exactly how much @#%& he's been spouting in past days.
After much pressuring, he finally conceded to battle me one-on-one,
without the advantage of surprise (a change from the standard "3 Kharon
run into the room with me, and kill me before I can move) and, despite
the fact that his skills were over 5 times higher than mine (A statistic
provided by Sarapis) he still fell to my (somewhat cheesy, I admit)
paralysis sword. Now, this technique is (rather easily) defeatable by
anyone with half a brain, as both Uldrais and Suffering have shown me,
as the time taken to "relax" is far less than the time it takes to
recover balance after a "hack", and as such, anyone with Transcendent
skills who knows anything about fighting (not gangbashing by surprise,
but actual fighting) should have been able to kill me with minimal
difficulty. I suggest Damascas tries fighting a few duels, and actually
learns which skills of his work in a fair battle, before he shoots off
his mouth about how pathetic Churchies are, and how generally how great
he is. Finally, I would like to thank him for the 3 levels I gained
in the battle. I have now recovered almost all experience lost to
the repeated Kharon attacks.

PS It is a known fact (by many Kharon, anyway) that a bug exists that
paralyses monks, even when the successfully dodge my blade. After
examining the battle, I have seen no point at which my blade failed
to strike, and as scuh, that particular bug had no effect during that
battle.

Penned by my hand on the 25th of Scarlatan, in the year 196 AF.
