And So Round 1 begins

"The view up here is still excellent, and your shoulders are quite excellent to balance on thank you.  As to spells that might allow us to determine the key of another group, given time I could ready one that would allow me to see into the minds of others and determine what they are thinking.  Sometimes it takes a little prompting, but the results can be spectacular," Divel whispers to Toro.

"I wonder if two groups can in fact get through with a single key combination, or if we will need to get together two keys and then only members of our group will be transported back to safety?" Divel continues to muse, the words spoken by the announcer working their way through his mind as he tries to figure out the rules of this competition.

'Most things can be brought down with steel or magic. We should succeed', Haggard said to the lady.

'These questions are indeed valid - even if I were not the one to circumvent a challenge in this manner, I am sure others would try - if it is a legal option', he added to Divel.

Steel and magic are not the only things. The mind is a powerful tool indeed.

Toro starts to snicker.

If your mind is a tool, then what is controlling you? he says smilingly.

[geniussavant]

Now that is a question. Maybe I'll even answer it, but not at the moment.

Haggard grunted, misunderstanding the comment.
'In my opinion, if you are using your mind directly to kill things, then that is also magic', he said. 'Of course, that's just my opinion, and you are entitled to your own.'

After a pause he added,
'When does the tournament finally start? I am getting fed up of waiting.'
