Baalhan watches in amusement as the red Holid seemingly cuts the spell in two. The spell fizzles and the sparks jump along the blade imperceptibly striking the Holid. "I applaud you. I have not been challenged so severely in Eons. I had forgotten the thrill of formidable combat. We can keep throwing things at each other or I'm sure as you already know I have a proposition. You want to claim me as a trophy and have a mighty weapon. I want freedom for myself and my friends. Thus, I propose a contest of Champions you choose one as do I. If you win my friends go and I will serve you loyally. If my Champion wins we all go and you never harass us again. You will say I have no negotiating power, but alas for you I still do." With a thought everyone, but us are banished and my chains fall away. "My spell was not destroyed it merely struck your red and copied the powers present in and around him, that includes the remainder of your summons. I swear by the ancient gods I will do no harm so long as the contest rules are followed and I will return your powers to you upon the conclusion of the battle." The room glows for a moment then return to normal. " I could easily destroy this place, but I see that you are worthy of being treated as a sovereign. I am bound by my word. Do you accept? If you win great are the spoils. If you lose you lost to the proxy of a god. What have you to lose except if you fear losing."
