The kid Baron exploded upon hearing the news. He couldn't believe in his wildest dreams that this would ever happen. Sure as hell he wouldn't let it happen, one way or the other. It would not happen. Not while he held the ring. Was he overreacting? Possibly, but then again he was of the age where a male always needs to prove their worth. It was something Avery almost never did though, and so he knew it would take some by
surprise. It would be a shock to many who knew him. So Christopher set down trying to catch all the words the Baron threw out. In the end, he got most of them, and then took the letter of to the cork board.
Baron Methous,
You ignorant little piece of nothing. You will not hold the Crown, while I breathe the air within this town. You are not even suited to hold the ring which lays upon your finger, let alone the title that comes with the crown. Over the past few days I have spoken with you a few times, and so I can honestly say you have to be dumbest man alive to make a challenge for the crown. So you were going to be banished? In no way does that mean you should
challenge for the crown. Suck it up and go on with your title. You can no more hold the ring on your finger than you could appear to have a brain. So how do you expect to handle the Crown? You have not a clue of what is going on in the council. You yourself say you feel as if you don't belong. Yet you knew the responsibility you would take when you took the ring. Don't be a fool, and do the same with the crown. If you cant hold the ring, there is no
way you can hold the crown. Just as a kid that cant read, cant write. Your challenge to our Overlord, is nothing more than an insult to everyone within this community. I will not stand for this slap across the face. It's one thing to be stupid, but don't inflict it upon everyone else by going for the crown. Now, how serious am I about you not doing this? I would bet my ring on yours to keep you from doing this. That's how much I don't want you being
overlord, or even a baron from this point on. I am willing to put up my title against yours. A Barons match for keeps. Just to get your sorry butt out of the council, to make way for someone else.

He could only smile as he heard the news that Methous had taken back his challenge. With speed he had Christopher write the letter.
Methous,
Even an idiot will do right ever so often. My offer still stands. My ring for yours. I want nothing more than you off this council. As I cant do it myself with a challenge to you, I offer this form of challenge.

In my opinion the rings symbolize the duelers skill as well as leadership abilities. In my eyes being a leader should not include throwing insults around like a child. If anyone should be thrown off the council it should be the Baroon of the 12th. Just my opinion.

I have nothing real against Meth, but I do dislike him challenging for the crown. Baron was enough for me and I wouldn't mind Avery taking the ring from his hand. Avery only wants to do the right thing and despise him for tossing insults. How many others have thrown insults at Meth? Do you simply pick one out of a hat and Avery was the one? It doesn't make any sense
to me.
I could name plenty that have insulted Meth, in which, Meth has done as well. However, Meth insults more so and one minor explosion from Avery causes 'bad' reactions. He stands up for what he believes is right to stop something incorrect. Perhaps he is overdoing it to duel him for the exchange of rings.
Only one thing I can say, Avery, just settle for the Test, my friend. I'm sure Zen wouldn't mind allowing it. Yes, you are very well dexerving of the ring, don't mind Daryl.

You're right. It has to do with hypocrisy, Rix. You're talking about the high standards of a title-holder, yet you made it easier for Aggy, who has shattered those high standards time and time again, including, yes, posting insults on this cork. And I'm not trying to demean your character, I think you're a good man, Baron Favre, as I do think Avery is a good man. But good men do mistakes sometimes.

Methous has rescinded his challenge.
I thought somebody should let everyone know.

All right all, here it is. I have no way to get rid of something that "I" feel does not belong. I will not ask others to do it. Yes, I throw insults out there, but I will back them out. My offer is on the table. I despise Methous. For those who have never hated anything in your life, or have never insulted..... cast the first stone. Rix, I am amused sir. You would be the last person I felt would have wrote what you did,
involving me. As, Cas already pointed out you did defend someone who insulted all within the arena. It was his life. It was his persona. And yet, you stepped in for him, in a most important Baronial challenge. Amusing yes. Cast the first stone, and lets see how far it goes. It is good to hold convictions, until you realize that you live opposite of them. You may say you defended Aggy for another reason, but even if you did, you defended what I am
doing. Now you attack? Maybe that is how a baron should be then. More like a person that does what is right for the situation. That will disregard the past. Something they have done in the past. As far as I know a baron has never challenged another. Well, this day it has happened. Methous, baron of the 8th. I want your ring. I know my skill. I know my worth. I know myself. Come and find me. To those who know me, know I would only do this if I truly
believe in the cause. My insults? retaliation to the insults he gave. Those who know me will not find fault in my words, or actions. Those who don't, will grasp for anything to make me look bad. I wait for you Methous. I wait.

I stated my reasons for stepping in on behalf of Agrenish at that time, and feel no need to do so again. Given another chance, I would do the same thing again, with the possible exception of declaring loyalty when my intentions behind that would have been moot.
Am I being a hypocrite? No, because I never said I approved of Agrenish's notes, nor did I say I disapproved of them. But, as I stated earlier, I have no need to explain myself.
And one final thing. You hold me responsible for allowing Agrenish easier access to the crown, yet I, in confession, should not have been the one dueling Banda that evening. If I did not duel Banda, someone else would have, and the results may have ended up being the same, if not done in a shorter duel.

Because, obviously, no one likes Methous and every one likes me because I'm an elf and everyone likes elves. Oh and please dont hurl insults at me and/or plot my death because of this any one ok?

::Copies and underlines Cassius' written passage to his own note::

You show your higher standards Cassius, by dragging a man's name into mud while he cannot defend himself? This is the trap you have placed yourself in by calling Baron Rix a hypocrite. You call him so for defending former Overlord Agrenish, then placing his defiance to not do Methous the same, two men you deem equal.
Yet, by saying that you yourself own up to a higher standing than those around you, such as Baron Methous and former Overlord Agrenish, but you do what the former Overlord did not, drag his name through a swampland while he is not here to defend himself. As I understand it, the former Overlord allowed you to attack him back.
Baron Avery, much the same to you.
You two, in this situation you speak of your high-standards for a title holder, yet both seem to deem fit the degrading of another man's name, both with experiance as a title holder. Quite possibly, all three of you are hypocrites, or, just might not know what you are subject you are talking about.
As a short term lower ranker, and one who will not hold these low ranks for long, may I add that I am not impressed by the conduction of the higher rankers I have read of thus far.
Possibily, Zen should be your modle to meld yourselves as, since he knows to keep quiet... as a leader.
