Round three of the Imperial Dungeon Games is called Standing, which the schedule runs as ninety-six single bouts across four days. A faction enters one competitor by name, then carries the result on its collective sheet whatever happens on the floor.
The draw paired Regina Vance against Ivory Guild, which had entered a champion under Alder Vance's proxy nineteen days earlier. His name is Sennen Vosk, national rank ninety-one, fifty-four years old, never beaten inside the ranked list by anybody out of Orison.
Luna checked the draw arithmetic anyway, since the yard pays her to check things nobody expects to be honest. She put the odds of that pairing at about one in ninety, then wrote the figure down without offering an opinion beside it.
An institution that arranges a meeting will usually let you believe you arranged it yourself.
