The risk paid off, and her all-out sent her opponent to the ground. The warrior couldn't defend against the next strike, so he raised a hand with two fingers extended - the sign of surrender. Cheers and boos came from the crowd, but it was difficult to tell at this point what was meant towards them. He was beaten fair and square, and now Evelyn got a moment to catch her breath. The other participants were all figthing each other, and while the paladin had no time to rest, she did get a moment to reassess her situation. She seemed lucky and could pick her third opponent when one warrior sent another to the ground. The process of elimination would mean that she'd have to face increasingly skilled opponents, but in this round in particular, sticking around the battle royal longer meant possibly worn down opponents.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">The veteran soldier is defeated, granting Evelyn her second win this round. As most other participants are currently fighting, she has a chance to single out her last opponent.<br/>She can look for another thug that was loud and obnoxious in the waiting room, she could find a veteran warrior for a more even fight, try herself against rougher looking sort, possibly sailors or pirates and she could also challenge the barbarian she saw earlier.</div></div>
