Scene 173

Noble

Oh? Might you be the traveler they say reached the Epitaph?

Noble

My mistake. Please continue on your way.

Noble

Wonderful! I'm seeking an adventurer of your caliber. Might I persuade you to carry out a request on my behalf?

Noble

It was decided that I would duel a certain nobleman to protect my honor. Alas, I've suffered a terrible leg injury and fear I won't be able to make it.

Noble

The arena was decided by my rival, who stated plainly that he would wait there forever if need be.

Noble

In the face of his resolve and the state of my poor leg, I fear I shall have to forsake my honor and forgo the fight.

Noble

But so be it. Might I ask you to venture to the battleground in my stead and deliver this letter of forfeit?

Noble

The road there is quite perilous. There are few I could count on to make the journey aside from a brave adventurer such as yourself.

Noble

You have my thanks. I'm counting on you to see it safely delivered.
