Maneuvering around the pegs while defending my life was going to be rather challenging. Not to mention avoiding the obstacles of the strings also…

The rules when challenged to a death duel by a Grand Gargoyle were well-known and simple:
1. The one challenged chooses the date, to be within 1 month of the challenge.
2. The one challenged chooses the type of location for the duel, but not the exact location, as the Grand Gargoyle has the honour of that choice.
3. The Grand Gargoyle chooses the weapon(s) for the battle to the death.

Aware of the large and ungainly size of all gargoyles, let alone Grand Gargoyles, I thought my choice of a bridge would be a wise one. With not much room to move it may have proved easier for me to out-fox him and unbalance him, gaining the advantage.

So when a wizard friend of his teleported us to the location, you can imagine my amazement to find us shrunken to a miniature enough size to battle on a guitar bridge!

And now this business of rubber chickens as weapons…
