"I am the Master of Arms. I read up on your combat law. It means I come over here and tell you all the rules, even though everyone here knows them better than I do. Lord Antillus, there, is the challenged. He gets to choose how the duel will be fought. He's chosen steel and fury, which basically means anything goes, which is how fighting ought to be done in any case. Isana is the challenger, which means she gets to choose the time and place of the duel. She has chosen here and now. Obviously. Or none of us would be standing out here in the wind."
Holden: Daubeny! Daubeny, show yourself! These men don't have to die. Trial by combat, right now!
Daubeny: What, fight you? That's not a trial! That's an execution!
Holden: Then fight my second.
"I decree - that at sunrise, two days from now, the champions will meet, and the truth shall be known. For by the law of God, no knight who is false can win in combat with one who is true."
—King Arthur Pendragon, Excalibur
Tick: The judge you requested for trial. A wombat?
Margo: Wombat? Jesus, Tick, we said trial by combat!
Margo: Wombat? Jesus, Tick, we said trial by combat!
High Adjudicator: We are gathered here today, under the watchful gaze of the Fury, to ascertain the guilt of two souls in a trial by combat. Petitioners, step forward.
(Grinnaux and Paulecrain approach)
Ser Grinnaux - for the benefit of all here present, I would ask you to repeat the charges which you have levied against this man and this woman.
Grinnaux: I, Ser Grinnaux de Dzemael, brother of the Heavens' Ward, did bear witness to these two foreigners consorting with heretics!
High Adjudicator: Let the accused step forward.
(Alphinaud and Tataru approach)
Alphinaud Leveilleur, Tataru Taru - you have heard the charges leveled against you.
Will you take up arms to refute Ser Grinnaux's claim and thereby prove your innocence in the eyes of gods and men?
Alphinaud: I, Alphinaud Leveilleur, am innocent of this charge, and claim my right to trial by combat.
Tataru: I, Tataru Taru, am innocent of this charge... But I am no warrior, and cannot fight, so I claim the right to name a champion!
High Adjudicator: To the old and the infirm, the young and the weak, this right we allow. Very well. Who will stand for this woman?
(Warrior of Light enters)
Alphinaud: Just as I was beginning to doubt the efficacy of the Ishgardian justice system! Come, my friend - let us put an end to this mummer's farce!
High Adjudicator: (as all parties draw weapons) O Halone, render unto us Your judgment! Raise up the righteous, and cast down the wicked!
