Sounds like a RQ duel I remember with great joy: NPC Yelmic Rune Lord, in full plate, big shield, etc., v. my not-quite-an-initiate with no armour, spear and shield. Fire season, noon, and she kept him waiting. She started by throwing the shield at him, then just kept dodging and staying out of range until he fell over. First time I've ever seen the infamous Fatigue rules do something useful. It would have worked better in HQ (her "yell vulgar insults" v his "easily embarrassed"), but it was good.

(nods) I've always said that *any* HQ ability is potentially a flaw. Any any flaw can be a help, too.
