The Duel

Conditions​ (top)

. You are playing as Purpure Longstride.
. You either:
-- Started with character model "Purpure", titled "Squire of the Sea", and have completed Escape from Charlestown, or
-- Started with character model "Purpure_Pirate" and are at least character level 8.

The Challenge​ (top)

Sail to Cartagena. Go to the tavern nearest the port (not the one in the town centre near the store). Find Margaret Jocasta. (Save game here) Talk to her. She challenges you to a duel which will take place in the town outskirts near the waterfall. QB update. You have seven days to get there.

The Duel​ (top)

Go to Cartagena outskirts during daytime. Margaret Jocasta is waiting for you and several of Cartagena's citizens are there as spectators. Talk to Margaret. She gives you a duelling rapier and equips the same herself. If you have equipped armour, she has the same. Fight Margaret. The duel will end when either of you is down to half maximum HP.

The duel is fair. You're both using the same weapon (and armour, if you brought any). The duelling rapier is not particularly hard-hitting so neither of you should be killed before the duel ends. If you were immortal, you are not immortal during the duel but it will be restored afterwards.

You Lost​ (top)

It was you who dropped below half HP. Margaret was too strong for you but respects you for trying. She returns to the tavern. You can try again at once or go away, practice fighting elsewhere, then return when you have better skill and abilities. QB update.

You Won​ (top)

Well done! You dropped Margaret's HP to below half. She now joins you. QB update.

If you have not already recruited Wilda Wright, you'll have seen her as one of the spectators, dressed in a nun's habit. You ask Margaret about the nun and she directs you to the cloister next to the governor's residence, also known as the New Cloister. QB update.

QB close.

Chicken! (Trap)​ (top)

If you do not arrive at the outskirts within seven days, Margaret Jocasta gives up waiting for you. If you do arrive in time and then leave without fighting, Margaret takes that as you running away. Either way, Margaret disappears permanently and so does Wilda Wright. If you already recruited Wilda, she deserts. Your reputation takes a big step towards neutral - whether you were trying to cultivate a good or evil reputation, you just lost it. And your crew are not happy to learn that they're sailing with Captain Chicken! QB update and close.
