"Today has us halfway through the code," Lana announced, smiling. On the board was written: Through strength I gain power.

"This one's a bit more concrete than we started with," she pointed out. "The strong gain power. It could be power in the Force, power in the government, power over yourself. So, let's discuss: is it true that the strong gain more power? What sort of strength should you start with, and what sort of power does it lead to? Is it something you should aim for?"

"Ohhhhh," Graham gushed, his eyes sparking with excitement, "the Capturing of the Eye of a Hideous Beast is the central showpiece of the Tournament! It's your one chance to prove your individual merit on a person quest; they don't let you move on to compete in the Duels unless you complete it! But there have many many competitors who have tried to use wit over strength in that one, too! That's why they keep having to add addendums to the rules!"

That, and they just loved adding addendums to practically everything.

"Is it acceptable to talk a beast out of its eye, then?" Lana asked. "Is a 'hideous beast' a specific type of beast, or just any large and ugly creature?"

She was sort of picturing a gundark, but it didn't take much to be smarter than one of them.

"There have been previous attempts to pass off at least one cantankerous ex-wife," Graham offered. "Which is to say, there seems to be some wiggle room for interpretation."
