I would like to take the moment to point out that in my Glorantha the Humakti sometimes do ambush. this is one of those points where the question of honor becomes murky and various Humakti temples debate how far to extend the practice.
Humakti always extend utmost honor to each other, and never ambush each
other. They almost can't, since they are always ready to face Death.
Humakti, because of their honor, often do not ambush other Orlanthi. These
are people who honor them, too. A Humakti is more likely to directly
confront his foe. They are within the society and therefore deserving of
its rules and laws, even of Death. Several myths of this type are
experienced during Holy Days and Sacred Time. It is one of the ways that
Humakt's role within society is defied and strengthened.
Humakti often ambush outsiders. People who do not understand the ways of
Humakt do not deserve his honor. Humakt did this in several myths,
surprising his enemy with some stragem.
Some Humakti extend the honor of the warrior Death to others of their class
and standing, for they recognize that honor is sometimes shared by
outsiders who believe the same things.
Some Humakti extend their honor to all things, because once Humakt did
that even to a chaos god.
All the stories are generally know to most Humakti that are well informed.
They must choose which one is most important to them.
