who would win?

[James Gryphon]

In combat talent, I think it's unquestionably Mariel at any point in time, and in skills, by the Bellmaker, I think she definitely takes Triss, even with Martin's Sword. Mariel took on hordes of armed vermin with a rope and came out ahead. There was another beast armed with Martin's Sword who used to hang out with her and he was relegated to sidekick while she did all of the heavy fighting. Beating Princess Pinkeyes isn't really in that same tier.

[The Skarzs]

Good points.

I guess I just don't want to yield the win to Mariel and her silly weapon. XD

[Ashleg]

New round?

[Nadaz, voice of the host]

My vote goes to Mariel she is definitely the more skilled combatant. By the way her gullwacker is encrusted with sea salt which serves to harden the rope and to further hurt any open wounds.

[Ashleg]

Delectable.

[Captain Tammo]

With that last vote, it looks like the victory here is Mariel's!

New matchup!

@Ashleg do you want to suggest a fight?

[Ashleg]

Hmm...

Ashleg vs Groddil! Both are crippled advisors.

[Captain Tammo]

SO BE IT!

New Round!

Ashleg vs. Groddil!

Who would win?!

[The Skarzs]

Hmm.
Well, Ashleg was a cripple, and Groddil was a deformed dwarf.
Neither were very brave and both abandoned their respective leaders.

I think Ashleg would win if they fought, because I think Groddil was described as being very weak.

[a crumb]

Was Groddil ever described as using a weapon or ever fighting?

Ashleg led troops. You'd reasonably expect him to be competent in a fight even if relatively handicapped. We see him using more than one weapon, as well, suggesting proficiency. I wonder if his condition was congenital, or if he was a fighting and leadership-based beast beforehand. In any case, Ashleg has a better ethic here, in that I think he'd be bolder and less scared going into a combat situation. That'd be another leg up for him as it were

[The Skarzs]

I see what you did there.

Groddil's role was purely as a seer to Ungatt Trunn, nothing else.

[Ashleg]

I Ashleg was maimed, not born that way.

[Steelinghades]

I Ashleg was maimed, not born that way.

Which along with previous points would suggest he'd had a life of fighting before hand, now of only he's worn armour.

As a side note, groddil was a rat correct?

[Ashleg]

Groddil was a fox.

[The Skarzs]

He was a fox, maimed, disfigured, and stunted.


Looking back, Ashleg 9.75 out of 10 times.
