For RubySlippers and Ghostwheel.<br/><br/>Ok not that it'll matter much, since Triel is involving herself and going to end this....<br/><br/><br/>Since I was asked, however.  For the start of that fight, since you both would have been paying attention to each other and both of you wanted to at the very least, wanted to "prove who was better", if not just flat out kill the other one.  Then comes the Matron Mistress, which you both at the start seemed to at first suppress your feelings of "kicking each others' teeth in"... however then shortly thereafter you both began making insults to each other... and....<br/><br/>So, were either of you prepared for a punch in the face at the time the fight broke out?  At the time, the first punch was thrown, that can be debated... however, since both of you have been wanting to "show the other up" or flat out kill the other, since the start... but again in front of the Matron Mistress had to suppress at least showing the feelings openly, especially when she all but said "Sit down and shut up."<br/><br/>RubySlippers, since you were the victim of the first punch... to avoid a surprise round.  You may make a Sense Motive Roll, with a DC of 15, with a +4 bonus to your check for knowing Alonia's general motives of wanting to be your superior and be the "best".
