Sparky whipped out al looonnnnnnnnngggg buffet table n' many tantilizing seafood dishes. There were also beef n' chicken dishes for those who didn't enjoy seafood. He removed his chef's hat n' put on his bailiff hat. :D
 
First act after recess: there has been, seemingly, some dispute over what this court is trying to prove. We are NOT trying to prove wether Apolo stabbed Elindil. That is a fact. WE are trying to decide wether he can be held responsible for her death.
 
It is partially that, Lord Elf. But the point is also the manner in which he inflicted the mortal wound. That he willingly inflicted it, as he has declared, and that he used a certain means that gave him an unfair advantage to do it.

Alas, the judges shall formulate their conclusions in due time. Let the trial continue.

Objection, slightly. "Unfair" is relative. His sword hand had been damaged while he was barely concious, wouldn't you call this Elindil taking an unfair advantage? I think he tried to "even the scales" a bit, by teleporting.

Apolo...When you stabbed Elindil...Where did you stab her exactly?

In all due respect, I think this has been decided: in the spine, near the middle of the back around the stomach.
 
"Unfair" is not relative, my lord. Alas, one cannot say that the use of mystical inventions was to even out any certain "unfairness" that had been afore committed. They engaged in a duel to the death, not a duel for sport. Therefore, the rules cannot equate to mere sport. She took a swipe at his wrist, and we learn that she did not cut all the way through.
 
Whether discussed before a duel or not, I declare my thought that logically and reasonably it is unfair and dishonorable to do any such thing, in any given situation, and especially through uncanny methods.

Is it not also unfair and dishonorable to A: coerce a tired man to fight and B: take advantage of his lack of sleep to wound him seriously.

But how can you reasonably declare he was coerced, my lord? He voluntarily agreed to engage in a duel. He could easily have said he was far too tired to do so, and "teleported" himself back to his camp, despite all her verbal prodding.

He walked right into it all on his own. I find no one else to blame in this matter.

You forget my other point, Magister. She took advantage of his lack of sleep to seriously wound him.
