Oh come on, Wulf, you can't be serious !?! You *do* know the answer to that one: in an extended contest the participants lose or win APs until one is down at 0 or below. Then we look at the consequences chart & we know the level of defeat. So that if one of the risks of defeat is that you could get hurt, then, a flyer who gets a complete defeat against a down wind spitting Urvairini, is *dying* (-31 or more APs) !!! He simply goes "splat" on the ground... covered in a disgusting gob of spittle !?! It just shows the utter contempt & superiority of Urvairinus who manages to use just a tiny amount of the one element which gets an advantage against Sky/Fire & which at the same time is at a disadvantage against Air (cf. HW p. 239: "The Elemental Progression") to establish his dominion over the spawn of Rebellus Terminus. Is that enough mythic justification for you ?!? :o) :o) :o)
And yes, if the Urvairini loses the contest, it only means that the flyer stays in the air.
