[A notice is posted around the city]

I tire of your pathetic games.

This ends.

As it takes more than one of you to best me in combat, And the "Mighty" Thane is quick to interrupt duels, I issue this public challenge to the entire Stout heart clan, to prevent any of you from interrupting a duel again.

A fight to the death.

A last chance to redeem your honor lost cowering behind the law of this fair city, and sending me falsified threats through unknown senders.

The entire clan. All of them.

From the lowly watch-private stout who harasses me cowardly in the street, to the drunken barbarian, to the cowardly druid letting animals fight for him, to the mighty Thane who does little more than spew the filth of his god as his kin fight for him.

You have one week to accept.

Your pathetic clan vs. myself in arena conflict.

* a note was posted next to each statement about the challenge*

Citizens of Sanctuary,

An Elder of Clan Stoutheart accepted the challenge issued by this Duergar the very day it was issued, and he declined to make good on his own offer. Apparently he wishes several more sleep cycles to prepare whatever dishonorable revenge he had planned against the Stoutheart Clan.

So in fact, it does not end now.

The Stoutheart Clan is willing to let Sanctuary Law deal with this exiled and Clanless Duergar who is under investigation for his crimes. Know also that his humorous recounting of the events in the Arena are contrary to those posted by the honorable and quite unbiased mage Varlam Nikitovitch, and are swathed in lies and outright deceit.

[a small note is blatantly over Rollo's]

As per request of an upper councilor, this offer is hereby canceled.
