I see things quite differntly. The aspect of the choosing a champion is
more for our squires than for the knights themselves. Not to say I
question the honor of the Paladins but I think there may be some who
would challenge our young and not fight the true warriors or at least
someone of equal skill. So if you want to simply fend us off without
having a champion fight then come prepared to fight.

Also I wish to point out if you plan to challenge my knights to a duel I
expect you be in the village asking them face to face. Or at least
letting them know you will be there to challenge a duel and not just
striking otherwise of course they will fight back. Also if multiple
warriors are in a village you wish to duel dont expect them to each
agree to a match all against the same person. If you plan to attack them
then either challenge a single one of them to a duel, bring allies who
will duel the others, fight them all, or be prepared for us to select a
champion if our fighter isn't even close to the challenges combat skill.
Needless to say we are bound by honor but in no way will I line my
warriors up for slaughter.

I am willing to say that all of my knights have the courage and honor to
fight any challenger. But when challenging my squires or challengeing
all of my fighters in one on one fights at the same time is simply
foolish to allow.
